By MIKE ROBINSON Associated Press Writer CHICAGO (AP) _ Less than two hours after prosecutors rested their case Monday in political fundraiser Antoin ”Tony” Rezko’s marathon fraud trial, defense attorneys did the same without calling a single witness. It is not unusual for the defense portion of a major criminal trial to be fairly short, though attorneys [...]

The Chicago Tribune reports, two new state witnesses are expected to bolster the prosecution's case by corroborating claims about the identity of the girl who was allegedly videotaped having sex with Mr. Kels aka Mr. Sucio. Ms. Lynx gave him that name which suites him very well. At a court hearing yesterday (March 12) R.Kelly's lawyer, Edward Genson expressed some frustration at new witnesses being added so close to the trial date, however he did not object to the new witnesses. The trial is set for May 9Th, Judge Vincent Gaughan agreed to the addition of the two new witnesses.

Shout out to the blog buddie Lashonda of The E-Biz for sending this over. Read on:The E-Biz has the scoop, first! The judge in R. Kelly's child pornography case on Wednesday (March 12th) granted prosecutors' request to add two witnesses for the R&B singer's upcoming trial. SURPRISE!The case, which has been pending since 2002, is set for trial May 9th. The papers requesting the additional witnesses were put under seal and the case's lawyers are subject to a gag order.One source said the two witnesses are former R. Kelly employees -- something a member of Kelly's defense team denied, of course. The source added the employees' testimony would be "not good" for the defense. Hmm, I'm just guessing here but could these two witnesses last names be Daniels? And maybe one of them happens to be

I am enjoying and learning from Robert M. Price's book, Jesus is Dead. I realize it is a rather jarring title. But what he writes is scholarly and engaging. As I was thinking about his book, I thought about my own faith journey and the things I used to think one needed to "believe" in order to be Christian. For instance, I remember thinking that the Bible as Word of God meant that everything was accurate in terms of history and so forth. As things began to whittle away, one after another, I felt the need to cling to something historical and say at least this is real. For instance, if Adam and Eve were story creations, then at least Moses was real. When Moses faded into legend, well at least the Gospels are historical. As I began to see them as literary creations rather than histo

After witnessing a staggering growth in the past three years, the Hyderabad Real Estate Market has come to a slowdown. Prices, which shot up by up to 300 per cent in most areas, have started cooling off, resulting in low growth rates or stagnation. Lots of factors have contributed to the present scenario. While higher interest [...]

Smith Inquest Pushed To New Year: By TOSHEENA ROBINSON-BLAIR - Nassau, Bahamas: The Coroner's Inquest into the death of Daniel Smith wrapped up a day early on Wednesday when the Office of the Attorney General was unable to produce seven witnesses - some of them expected to deliver key evidence into the death of Daniel Smith, the son of the late American celebrity Anna Nicole Smith. Daniel Smith died at Doctors Hospital on September 10, 2006 while visiting his mother, who had recently given birth to a daughter. The AG's office is now working to make contact with the last few witnesses on its list to have them come to court when the inquest resumes on January 28. Since the matter commenced last month, 26 witnesses were called to give testimony in the inquest that aims to determine how and why the young man died. On Monday, Neil Braithwaite, senior counsel in the Office of the Attorney General, told the court that more witnesses were expected to be called Wednesday. At that t

As I wrote on Sunday I was in attendance for the final Phillies home game in which they defeated the Nationals to advance to the playoffs for the first time since 1993.Well, I recorded the final out and recently posted it on YouTube. Check out my video below!

Far be it for me to single out one particular ludicrous belief system, after all, it’s easy to laugh at talks of aliens, intergalactic rulers, thetans, Xenu, and cosmological conspiracies, but it’s just as easy to laugh at demons, devils, ghosts, gods, spirits, virgin births, triune divinities, talking snakes, or intelligent design. My top three insidious ersatz religions of the world today are Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormonism, and Scientology.  This is based on my opinion alone of course.  I will discuss the other two another time, but explain a bit about JWs here.  This is a subject I’m very familiar with. This group was founded back in the 1870s.  Now, say what you like about JWs, but they are proficiently versed in the bible, or at least their version and interpretation of it.  I would definitely class them as fundamental Christians.  They also reject core doctrines of mainstream Christianity, such as the Trinity, Hell, or the concept of an immortal soul. Whether you th

WIth the current focus on holistic remedies, organic produce and botanical beauty products, it’s no surprise that interest in spa treatments is on the rise.

It is the perfect time then to take the plunge into the spa and wellness industry, one of the hottest personal-service businesses around.

About ninety percent of the residential apartments of 23 Marina has been sold out with a fifty percent appreciation in price after the launch of the luxury tower in March 2005.The Hircon International Director, Darshan Hiranandani, is said to have stated that, the product has marked a new beginning for high-rise living, and has drawn large number of end-users. Majority of the buyers are expatriates from Europe, GCC and India, who have actually purchased the units with an intention to live in the ninety storey tower.The ETA Star Executive Director, Abid Junaid considers this as a major achievement, and has mentioned that 23 Marina, being the first project of Hircon International in the UAE, the accomplishment has been possible mainly due to the attention paid to minute details that provides an enhanced and good living experience for its residents.The construction of 23 Marina has proceeded as scheduled, and on completion during mid-2009, it will be the tallest residential building in th

The realty firm, Deyaar, has confirmed that it has sold out four projects, worth Dh.1 billion within a few days of launch, thereby beginning a new trend in the vibrant property sector of the region.Among the four projects that have been sold, Fiftyone @ Business Bay and Mayfair Residency were sold out on the first day of the launch, and the other projects Metropolis and Mayfair Tower were sold within a week, thereafter.The CEO of Deyaar, Zack Shahin, said the quick sale of their projects proves that investors considered Deyaar to be a leading regional developer. He said "The speedy sale of Fiftyone @ Business Bay and Mayfair Residency is due to a combination of factors - compatibility with the needs of investors, architectural splendour, flexible payment terms and the substantial demand for Deyaar developments by investors."Currently, Deyaar is in the process of expanding its real estate portfolio and has announced various other new freehold developments, so that the soaring demand for

The programme that has been debated up and down the country before it was aired was finally shown tonight, and as I expected the controversy was completely out of sync with the actual footage shown. For a change, this programme promised to get the facts from the people who were actually there, the photographers and journalists who were first on the scene, and it made for a refreshing change to hear it from the horses mouth. In the UK, and around the world, the thought of a programme revisiting the facts behind the Princes Diana crash sparked outrage and revulsion. The main sticking point was the prospect of Channel 4 displaying pictures from the crash scene, some showing Diana receiving treatment. Even Diana’s sons William and Harry had become involved and asked that her dignity be respected. Channel 4 decided to go ahead with the programme, after pronouncing that Diana’s face would not be shown, and they stuck to their word. (more…)

This week's Education Week will report:The inspector general of the U.S. Department of Education has referred some of the information gathered in a lengthy audit of the Reading First program to federal law-enforcement officials for further investigation, he said during a lengthy and contentious hearing today before the House Education and Labor Committee.Inspector General John P. Higgins Jr. told the committee, in response to a question on whether he had recommended any criminal review, that he has made “referrals to the Department of Justice.” He declined to elaborate to reporters at the end of the hearing.The former director of the Reading First program denied in the April 20 congressional hearing that there were conflicts of interest in the implementation of the $1 billion-a-year federal initiative. He also denied that he and other officials and consultants had overstepped their authority in directing states and school districts on the curriculum materials and assessments that

I recently received a newsletter for a couple that has a college campus ministry. The theme of the newsletter was based around Matthew 9:37-39. “The harvest is so great, but the workers are so few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask Him to sent out more workers for His fields.” I’m not sure what translation that is from. And that isn’t the point. Part of the newsletter grabbed my attention. “This time around the verse stood out to me as to who owns the project of reaching others. As I continue to work with this generation, there often are nights I lay my head on my pillow and never feel the work is done. The verse rings so true in my ministry where there just isn’t enough Christians witnessing to their peers. Too many have rested on the coat tail of the ‘professionals’ in the church. I realize that I fall into that camp and often wonder if we, by the title of leader, perpetuate the problem, But then, I realize that t
