 Crime › Canadian Cops Cry For BlackBerry Wiretap by Recognise(op): 9:37pm On Mar 26, 2009 |
Canadian cops cry for BlackBerry wiretap How to eat a golden egg By Dan Goodin in San Francisco Posted in Security, 25th March 2009 22:06 GMT It has recently dawned on Canadian officials that communications sent with the BlackBerry are among the hardest mobile messages to eavesdrop on. But rather than congratulate the Waterloo, Ontario-based Research in Motion on a job well done, they're calling for laws that would force service providers to use only technology that can be tapped. Police and politicians in Canada call the BlackBerry the device of choice for criminals and law enforcement, according to the CBC. That's largely thanks to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, which encrypts data and secures network connections. Layer on top of that some additional encryption software - which is easy to do on the Blackberry - and you've got something close to military grade security, the news service says. Enter liberal member of parliament Marlene Jennings, who tells the news service that cracking the BlackBerry and other devices that use strong encryption is essential for law enforcement to do its job. "Law enforcement needs it, Canadians need it. It's an essential tool for the battle against crime," she says. No doubt, not all police surveillance is bad, and the protection encryption provides from prying eyes cuts both ways. Which is to say that sometimes encryption is going to make it easier for bad guys to conceal their illicit ways. But a lot of perfectly legitimate people - including a certain leader of a large, western state - swear by the BlackBerry precisely because it is viewed as more secure than iPhones and all its peers. Sure, law enforcement would be required to have a warrant before they could access any encrypted communications. But the US Secret Service isn't likely to take comfort in such formalities, and neither are millions of business people who want to exercise some level of control over the messages they send. So, to MP Jennings and her allies: Good luck fighting a losing battle against technology. And a warning: If you're not careful, you may kill the goose that lays your country's most golden of eggs. ® SOURCE: Click here |

KunleOshob:@KunleOshob (m) My fellow lord and peer . . . I was only going to be reading postings and not submit any until the weekend but against my better judgement I waived to reply to your posting I habitually take pleasure going over your dogged (i.e. strong-minded) postings dropped in now and then. On the issue of Man’s true destiny and purpose, these are not far fetched. Here are some few pointers: 1) What did Man have in the beginning? 2) What did Man lose before and/or without even stepping out of Eden? 2) What is the nitty-gritty, the bottom line, the core message, (i.e. crux) of Jesus Ministry whilst on Earth? 3) What was He proclaiming and explaining during his Ministry? The answers to the above not exhaustive pointers reveal Man’s true destiny and purpose. I bet you know, one doesn’t see much when one’s closed up to a mirror. However, the moment one steps back a bit, one doesn’t need to strain the eyes (i.e. to look too hard) to make out things, to see clearly and properly for that matter. As regards church leadership doing more to confuse than to enlighten or pastors pursuing their own agenda, we’ve heard it said “You can’t keep a good man down” but I’ll say even if you do, it won’t be for long. That's all I'll say to that. You are absolutely right concerning the circumstance of the "ordained scripture" - its a travesty . . . All the same, the situation is “ba” and not entirely “bad” It could have been worse, moreover the worst is yet to come, if you know what I mean (PS: terrible times are ahead) With regards to church doctrines, it is one’s responsibility with the help of the Holy Spirit to be able to tell the difference between “organised church” doctrines and “organic church” principles and separate them. |

| Family › 12 Weeks After Wedding Found Out Hubby Was A "Paedo" by Recognise(op): 4:00pm On Mar 22, 2009 |
Bride had to turn tech without Sarah's Law By Jane Atkinson, 22/03/2009 A DEVASTATED bride is calling for a change in the law after discovering her new husband was a CONVICTED PAEDOPHILE a few weeks after they wed. Mariella Grove only found out about his sick past when she caught him leering at a neighbour’s two young daughters. She is now calling for Sarah’s Law to be brought in across the whole of Britain—so other women do not have to suffer the anguish she has been through. Tearful Mariella, who has a 15-month-old grandson, said: “If this had been in place where I live I would have known who I was marrying and who I was allowing to come into contact with the children in my family and in my area. “Everybody has a right to know if a convicted paedophile is coming into their lives. “I am not a parent of a young child but I allowed a paedophile into my home, my life and the lives of those around me.” The News of the World has been campaigning for Sarah’s Law—named after tragic Sarah Payne, who was just eight when she was slaughtered by monster Roy Whiting—since July 2000. It would mean the public would have controlled access to the sex offenders’ register, and so far we have achieved 14 pieces of new legislation to protect children. At least ten children have been saved from potential sex attacks, thanks to trial schemes. These are to be extended further across the country, and will be evaluated later this year to see if they should be enforced across Britain. But any new laws will come too late for Mariella, 52, who approached the News of the World with her story. We have changed her and her husband’s names for legal reasons. The mum of two grown-up children married Bruno Grove last summer but had no idea her new love had been convicted of indecent assault on two 12-year-old girls in 1993. Since then Grove, 43, had changed his name by deed poll—and none of his family or friends had revealed his shocking secret to Mariella during their whirlwind six- month romance. The couple first met when Mariella was caring for Grove’s mum who lived near her in Milton Keynes, Bucks. Mariella said her friends adored him—and her grown-up son and daughter, in their 20s, thought he was a caring companion for their mum. She recalled: “When we met he was loving and attentive. We were like teenagers in love. Bruno wanted us to adopt a baby, and I thought he would make a wonderful father. I feel so stupid about that now.” But after their wedding last summer, Mariella said Bruno changed. She explained: “He had told me he’d changed his name by deed poll because he’d had financial problems before he met me. “I accepted that until after we married and he turned into a Jekyll and Hyde character. A nasty streak came out and he was very possessive. "He wouldn’t let me speak to his family on my own, which now I realise was for fear I’d find out something. “In the back of my mind I knew something was wrong.” But it was only when Grove refused to stop peering into Mariella’s neighbours’ garden, where two young girls were playing, that she decided to turn detective. She said: “I would regularly catch him looking out our bedroom window. He was leering at the girls as they bounced up and down on their trampoline. They were nine and 14. He became obsessed with watching them. “He said he was just looking at the flowers in the garden so I told him to go downstairs to do that but he wouldn’t. “I became really concerned and thought I would check him out—find out if there was anything in his past that he was hiding.” She went to a library and searched through local newspaper archives for Bruno’s previous name. When she could not find anything she contacted the local crown court and asked for help. Then, 12 weeks after her wedding day, she was shown files that revealed Grove’s previous conviction. He had been sentenced to a community service for 100 hours and was under a probation order for 18 months, with a condition to attend a sex offenders group. He also had to pay £100 costs. [center]Sick [/center] Mariella recalled: “I was physically sick— I’d married a monster. I confronted him and said I knew the truth, he was a paedophile. “He tried to deny it and claimed it was all lies but I had the documentation. I immediately asked him to leave. I’m pushing through the divorce as fast as I can.” Bruno has moved in with his mother and Mariella is pushing for Sarah’s Law to be enforced throughout Britain. She said: “Our laws don’t do enough. People can change their name by deed poll and hide from things like this. “Changing your name and hiding the fact you were a sex offender is terrifying. “I’m just glad that I found out what I did. Others might not be so lucky.” SOURCE: Click here |

[size=14pt]Reality TV star Jade Goody dies [/size] Page last updated at 11:18 GMT, Sunday, 22 March 2009 Reality TV star Jade Goody has died at the age of 27. She died at home with her family in Upshire, Essex, in the early hours of Sunday after a high-profile battle with cervical cancer. Her mother Jackiey Budden, who was at her side as she died, said: "My beautiful daughter is at peace." Prime Minister Gordon Brown said he was "deeply saddened" by the news and described Goody as "a courageous woman both in life and death". "The whole country has admired her determination to provide a bright future for her children. "She will be remembered fondly by all who knew her and her family can be extremely proud of the work she has done to raise awareness of cervical cancer, which will benefit thousands of women across the UK." Goody shot to fame after being a contestant in the third series of Big Brother in 2002 and was taking part in a version of the show in India last year when she was told of her illness. The disease spread to her liver, groin and bowel and she was told it was terminal in February. The star had been treated at the Royal Marsden Hospital in west London but wanted "to spend all the time she had got left" with new husband Jack Tweed and sons, Bobby, five, and Freddy, four. Goody died at home at 0314 GMT on Mother's Day. Her body was taken out of her home shortly before 0800 GMT. Speaking outside the home, Ms Budden said: "Family and friends would like privacy at last." Mourners started arriving at the house to pay tribute to Goody within minutes of the news breaking. Jackie Marron, who was among those leaving floral tributes at the gates, described Goody's work to highlight the risks of cancer as an "inspiration". "The way she's done her things is absolutely fantastic, her courage, her guts," she added. The star had been christened in a 20-minute ceremony at the Royal Marsden on 7 March while in a wheelchair and was assisted by nurses during the service. Media interest Goody's illness had featured in the media on a daily basis over recent weeks. She married partner Jack Tweed on 21 February at Down Hall Country House Hotel in Essex. OK! magazine paid a reported £700,000 to cover the event. Goody stipulated that the entire amount should be passed on to her sons. The wedding was also filmed as part of a documentary series following the star and was screened on digital channel Living. Goody, originally from Bermondsey, south London, was initially famous for showing poor general knowledge on Big Brother. She was later accused of being racist towards Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty during a celebrity version of the show. However, public opinion softened when the star became ill. She was open about wanting to exploit media interest in her battle with cancer to raise public awareness of the disease and prevent other women from suffering her fate. Mr Clifford said: "I think she's going to be remembered as a young girl who has, and who will, save an awful lot of lives. "She was a very, very brave girl and she faced her death in the way she faced her whole life - full on, with a lot of courage." Cancer Research UK chief executive Harpal Kumar said: "Her brave battle with an aggressive form of cervical cancer has received widespread public attention and encouraged thousands of women to seek advice on how to prevent the disease. "She has done a great public service by raising awareness of the importance of screening during her last few months of life." 'Celebration of life' Phil Gould, associate editor of OK magazine, said: "Most women that I know who are in their 20s have now gone for smear tests or are trying to get smear tests because of what's happened to Jade." Even in death the cameras will remain firmly fixed on Goody as preparations are made for her funeral. Before she died she told those around her she wanted the service to be a "celebration" of her life. "She wants it to be a big celebration because it's her final farewell to everybody," Mr Clifford said. Describing the funeral as a "Jade Goody Production", he said the funeral cortege would process through Loughton - near her home in Upshire, Essex - after church service. No date for the service has yet been set. Mr Clifford said Goody's children had known their mother was seriously ill. "She sat down and explained that Mummy was going to heaven and that heaven is where people who are ill go to get better," he said. <<<< "She said when they look in the sky and see a star, that's Mummy looking down." <<<< He added that he hoped Goody's family would be left in peace to grieve. TV presenter Jeff Brazier, the father of Goody's two sons, said he was "devastated" at Jade's death. "I'm grateful the boys were able to say their goodbyes and spend that precious time with their wonderful mother," he said. "Bobby and Freddie are my absolute priority and I will be doing everything I can to be their rock and to give them all my love and support to get them through a confusing and upsetting time." Tweed, 21, is awaiting sentence after he was found guilty of attacking a taxi driver and threatening to stab him after leaving a club in Essex last year. He was jailed for 18 months last September after assaulting a teenager with a golf club. SOURCE: Click here |

Jagoon:@Jagoon This is going to be short and snappy, along with plugging a few holes; the odd fly will drop into the ointment you posted. Men are like God . . . Who is Man?? you asked Without a shadow of doubt Man is like God. Simple illustration: Mirror reflection - the image is ones likeness; it is the way one is seen, it is not actually one (i.e. the image is not one; it only bears a resemblance to one) Another simple illustration: Bright color clothes – wear them to express a cheerful and upbeat appearance, the bright colors are not me, they are merely an image to convey a look or expression. So Man is like God but not God. You talked about "Decided to limit man so as to keep man in check" You referenced "Must not eat from the tree of the knowledge?" Genesis 2:17]Genesis 2:17@KunleOshob You talked about: " . . . mystery . . . we would never ever know . . . Believe God wanted it that way, but as human beings we would keep asking questions" I have learnt from experience directly and/or indirectly and have stopped using the word "never" It ties up God's hand and literally limits Him . . . [quote author=Proverbs 25:2]Proverbs 25:2 New International Version - UK (NIVUK) It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.

Bobbyaf:Allow me to drop in some sparklers and fan the flames to stir up this bonfire. - We are going to skirt around the deep end a bit. Right! Here is me, putting two cents in, real quick just like OLAADEGBU, gotta run - couldn't upload this posting last night 'cos the site was continually having a downtime, better late than never eh? i) What was God before He became a/our Father? ii) What is LAW? iii) What is the LAW? Plainly, a KING. What's more, any and/or every word that proceeds from the KING (i.e. GOD) is LAW, is the law (i.e. the KING's word is LAW) Based on PSALM 138:2's scriptural fact, we know that GOD magnifies His Word above all His name.  Actually God respects His word above himself (PS: a perfect example to emulate or follow) Isaiah 55:11:The above references, on the surface, likely explains the reason for GOD’s word economy (i.e. His carefulness with uttering or word use/choice) We can notice that the King’s word is potent, very potent and so an insight to why God does not talk much, talk too much, or better still often does not talk at all. What preceded the other? The law(s) or covenant(s)? - The answer is obvious This question begs asking, coining Jesus’ “In the beginning . . . “ phrase/style, “In the beginning was there a need for a covenant?” - The answer equally obvious. In the beginning we always had the law(s) . . . Consensual laws - entered into by mutual consent void of any formal agreement between Adam and God the King. - Remember only one of the laws was prohibiting. At any rate, presently the Law and covenant are mutually inclusive; like a hand in a glove we can’t have one without the other? The Brb. Time for a KitKat, don't cha think . . . |
| Christianity Etc › Atheist Nurse Tries To Get Self 'de-baptised' by Recognise(op): 9:21pm On Mar 19, 2009 |
Atheist nurse tries to get himself 'de-baptised' from Church of England By Martin Beckford, Religious Affairs Correspondent An atheist is trying to get himself "de-baptised" from the Church of England because he believes he was accepted into the religion without his consent. John Hunt, a nurse, is one of a growing number of people around the world who want their former involvement with faith groups to be struck from official records. Now 56, he was baptised at the parish church of St Jude with St Aidan in Thornton Heath, south London, when he was just a baby. But as a schoolboy he decided he did not believe in God and stopped going to Sunday school aged 11. More recently he asked Southwark diocese to remove his name from the baptismal roll, because he believes he was too young to agree to the ceremony taking place. He was told that his baptism cannot be deleted because it is a matter of historical record. However, he paid £60 to place an advert in the London Gazette, an official journal dating back to the 17th century, in which he rejected publicly the Christian faith, and wants church leaders to put a copy of the announcement in the baptismal roll. Mr Hunt said: "I think it's important that more people speak out and say they don't subscribe to the historic beliefs of the Church." He has got a copy of a "de-baptism" certificate produced by the National Secular Society, which states: "I, John Geoffrey Hunt, having been subjected to the rite of Christian baptism in infancy hereby publicly revoke any implications of that rite. "I reject all its creeds and other such superstitions in particular the perfidious belief that any baby needs to be cleansed of original sin." The society says an estimated 100,000 people have downloaded such certificates from its website over the past five years. It produces mock official versions, and has had to order a new consignment of parchment to meet demand. Although the Church of England's policy is that it will not record formally those who wish to renounce their baptism, Roman Catholic canon law allows a process known as a "formal act of defection" from the faith. This means that a note will be made on a person's baptismal record stating that they have left the church. De-baptism movements exist in Catholic countries such as Spain, Italy and Argentina, while Germans are allowed to renounce their baptism officially in order to get out of paying a church tax. Terry Sanderson, the president of the NSS, admitted its de-baptism certificate had been produced originally as a "tongue-in-cheek" joke but added that the procedure is now being taken seriously by an increasing number of atheists. He said: "There's so much anger against the church that people actually want to make a statement against it." The Bishop of Croydon, the Rt Rev Nick Baines, said: "Whether we agree whether it should have happened or not is a different matter. "But it's a bit like trying to expunge Trotsky from the photos. You can't remove from the record something that actually happened." SOURCE: Click here |
| Foreign Affairs › Irish Spend Most At Hotel Minibars - Survey by Recognise(op): 10:48pm On Mar 18, 2009 |
Irish spend most at hotel minibars - survey JASON MICHAEL The Irish are the biggest spenders when it comes to satisfying their cravings at hotel minibars, according to a survey released today. Research has revealed the Irish spending an average of €23.47 on minibar items every time they go away, comfortably ahead of the Swedes, their closest rivals with average minibar spending of €17.45, and the British, who on average spend €16.66. At the other end of the scale, it is the French and the Norwegians who are the most frugal, spending just €12 and €10 respectively, according to the survey. Two-thirds of respondents said they regularly use the hotel minibar. According to the survey, conducted by hotel-booking website Hotels.com, 84 per cent of Irish believe minibars are too expensive, and 6 per cent admit to "minibar meddling" – cheating the system by replacing what they have used from the minibar with cheaper alternatives bought from a shop. Moreover, almost half (44 per cent) said they avoided the minibar where possible by buying snacks and drinks from outside the hotel to consume in their room, while 67 per cent of Irish are most likely to use the minibar last thing at night when the urge for late-night treats becomes irresistable. In terms of preferred contents, two-thirds of men chose beer for their perfect minibar, with 20 per cent choosing massage oil, while women were more concerned about finding chocolate (48 per cent) and a good book or magazine (34 per cent). The research also found a number of hotels are also catering for more exotic minibar desires. For example, guests at one hotel in Dublin can obtain a "Kama Sutra Kit," which includes a a feather, a frilly pink blindfold and a range of scented oils. Elsewhere, a hotel in Miami is providing a "love-vendor my fridge" service that allows guests to order a number of personalised minibars, including the "Get It On Minibar," which includes a Barry White CD, edible body paint, Champagne and whipped cream. The survey was conducted among 850 people across eight European countries during March by Hotels.com. SOURCE: Click here |

Nateevs:@Nateevs Here's the video play you're trying to upload . . . [flash=450,300]http:///beyttm[/flash] An audacious 24/7 electricity venture by Kwara State. This course of action is admirable and praiseworthy. My eyes have gone green but hey no hating, its all good . . . Shame though concerning all the "will it last" fears and/or echoes.

Arewa4:@Lagosboy Well said @Arewa4 (f) The former is just about not QUESTIONING GOD; (i.e. been GOD GULLIBLE; GOD CREDULOUS; GOD UNSUSPICIOUS etc) - Outrightly sitting on a chair without questioning or checking whether it'll take one's weight and not collapse in a manner of illustration is a crude example of "trusting" The latter in relation to certain issues/matter simply is about TRYING GOD OUT (i.e. TRIALLING GOD concerning these issues) - Checking a chair before sitting with confidence to ascertain/confirm it will take one's weight and not collapse whilst sitting in a manner of illustration is a simple example of "testing" Man trusts God and vice-versa. God tests Man. Notice no vice-versa in this respect. God testing references: Job 23:10As a matter of fact Man isn’t expected to test God. The exception to the above is when/where explicitly and absolutely encouraged or prompted to. |

Dgreatrock: John 1:1-3:@Dgreatrock My friend, I sense you brought this up for the benefit of all. Anyways as noticed in the above verses all things were made by God and came into existence through Him; Nothing, not even one thing made, money inclusive has come into being without God's thumb's up. Remember Genesis 1:22 "And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply . . . Genesis 1:22 and having dreams fuels the desire . . . New dreams leads to renewed visions and ultimately necessitated revised provisions . . . [center]Colossians 1:16 - Contemporary English Version (CEV) Everything was created by him, everything in heaven and on earth, everything seen and unseen, including all forces and powers, and all rulers and authorities. All things were created by God's Son, and everything was made for him. [/center] 1 Like |

[img width=300 height=300]http:///au5zor[/img] A man shot a pastor to death and injured several others at a church during a service in the community of Maryville, Illinois, police said. Illinois Master Trooper Ralph Timmins said the man walked down the aisle during the early Sunday service at First Baptist Church in Maryville. He said the man exchanged words with pastor Fred Winters and then pulled out a .45-calibre handgun. Mr Timmins said the man fatally shot Mr Winters once before the gun jammed, then pulled out a knife and wounded himself. Churchgoers tried to subdue the attacker and two of them suffered minor injuries. Mr Timmins said officials don't know if Mr Winters and the suspect knew each other. Maryville is about 20 miles north-east of St Louis. Mr Winters, a father of two who had led First Baptist for nearly 22 years, was the former president of the Illinois Baptist State Association and an adjunct professor for Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, according to the church's website. "Our great God is not surprised by this, or anything," Nate Adams, executive director of the Illinois Baptist State Association, said in a statement. "That He allows evil and free will to have their way in tragedies like this is a mystery in many ways. But we know we can trust Him no matter what, and draw close to Him in any circumstances."
