Blake was jailed for a total of six years, and Barrow, whom the judge said had given Miss Bennett a drink, was jailed for a total of five years, to be served in a Young Offenders’ Institution.Michael Howard’s White Paper also proposes “greater honesty in sentencing”, saying prisoners should serve the full terms of their sentences.. But under current laws, if he behaves well in prison, he is likely to be freed after serving three and a half years of his seven-year sentence.The victim, Maxine Bennett, spent two weeks in hospital recovering from her 19-hour ordeal at the end of April last year.In passing sentence last night Judge Stanley Spence, sitting at Reading Crown Court, said the three defendants, Thurston, Tracey Blake, 31, and her boyfriend Antonio Barrow, 20, possessed a “cold-blooded brutality”. Three torturers were jailed for up to seven years last night following a vicious beating in which they imprisoned a young woman in her home and forced her to eat her own vomit. The defendant singled out by the judge as the ringleader, Stuart Thurston, a 20 -year-old former public schoolboy, has previous convictions for robbery and burglary.
Under a tougher sentencing policy outlined yesterday in the Home Secretary’s White Paper, Protecting the Public, Thurston would have faced an automatic life sentence for his part in the torture. Despite falling rates of violent crime in many states and big cities, law and order remains one of the hottest political issues in the US Woe betide the candidate who argues for its repeal.. A surge in police killings in California, meanwhile, suggests “three strikes” has an unintended consequence of prompting criminals facing arrest to resort to extreme means to avoid what would otherwise be a life behind bars.But for all its defects, the law is here to stay.

“If you were writing a law to deliberately target blacks, you could hardly do it better than `three strikes’,” one of the report’s authors said last month.Critics also claim that in the longer run, the measure will simply swell a national prison population of over 1 million, three times as large as in 1980, to the point where an ageing, long-term prison population will turn some jails into old people’s homes. Critics say that it merely distorts the judicial system and makes an already overloaded prison system even more unworkable.According to one study by a San Francisco legal institute, the law hit twice as many marijuana smokers as rapists, murderers and violent criminals combined. In now famous California cases, convicts have recently been jailed for life after third offences of stealing two bicycles, and a slice of pizza It also disproportionately affects African-Americans. In California, where “three strikes” has been a hotter issue than anywhere else, Governor Pete Wilson claims it is a prime reason for two straight years of falling crime.

In all, 15 states have similar measures on the statute book, while Georgia plans to bring in an even stiffer “two strikes and you’re out” law, effective from 1999, for certain offences.
Even the Federal Government – whose jurisdiction covers only 2 per cent of crimes committed in the US each year – has got into the act, with a “three strikes” proviso included in the Crime Bill passed by Congress in August 1994 and which has thus far affected some 20 cases.Whether it is effective, however, is another matter. California followed suit a year later, spurred by uproar over the death of Polly Klaas, a 12-year-old girl abducted and murdered by a freed rapist. Detractors, however, say that the measure is unfair and in the long run, counter-productive. The first “three strikes”law, whereby a person convicted of a third felony is automatically sent to prison for life, was passed by the state of Washington in 1993.

It is a mark of the Government’s jitteriness on issues of this sort that Geoff Hoon, the Defence Secretary, at first asserted that the pollution was no worse than “two bonfire nights”, only for the Department of Health to confirm that it was launching an urgent investigation into the effects of incinerating dead cattle. Michael Meacher, the Environment Secretary, later said there were risks associated with every means of disposing of the carcasses, and it was up to the people on the ground to determine which was the least undesirable method in each case. This won full marks for honesty, but the whole episode demonstrated that when it comes to obtaining and using scientific advice, joined-up government is still a long way off.From foot and mouth to depleted uranium, mad cows to genetically modified food, ministers and officials are more and more reliant on scientists to tell them what to do. Figures such as Jim Scudamore, the Chief Veterinary Officer since 1997, are suddenly on our television screens every day (before disappearing equally rapidly when the spin-doctors decided he was not on-message enough).

David King, the new Chief Scientific Adviser (CSA), Hugh Pennington, who advised on E. coli, and Sir John Pattison, who chaired the BSE advisory committee, have all had their turn in the limelight. Yet no one knows how the Government’s main scientific advisers are selected. “I was invited to quite a few lunches around Whitehall,” said one appointee. “It was only later that I realised they were job interviews.”These days, said one practised observer, it is not enough to be a top-rated scientist “You have to be a good chairman and good on camera as well Take Liam Donaldson [the Chief Medical Officer]. During the organ retention controversy he had to cope with a meeting at which there were very emotional parents on one side and apparently cold-blooded specialists on the other who were trying to explain why they needed children’s organs to improve medical techniques. He handled it very well.”Those who believe there is a “boffinocracy” will have had their suspicions confirmed by the fact that Sir Robert May, the just-retired CSA and new president of the Royal Society, was on the list of “people’s peers” unveiled to much derision last week.

But Sir Robert himself has called for more openness in the way scientists advise politicians.The old tradition of a group of experts advising a minister in confidence, after which the minister stands up and says “This is what I have been told”, no longer worked, he said recently. “That messy cacophony of voices in the marketplace, while it may make for more difficult political handling, [is] the way science works, and it’s a good path to the truth.”Whether the politicians would welcome a more public process is open to question. “Ministers live in terror of having their decisions overturned by a judicial review, which they face if they are shown to have gone against the advice they have received,” said one expert. “The result is that instead of simply advising, unelected scientists are deciding these issues behind closed doors. It is very insidious.”The culture clash between politicians demanding straight yes or no answers and scientists insisting that it is not that simple is age-old. But the BSE controversy convinced Sir Robert and many others that things had to change.

As soon as “mad cow disease” appeared, the question was whether it would affect humans. The only reference point was the sheep disease scrapie, which did not appear to harm humans, and which led an advisory committee to say in 1989 that the risk was remote Ministers took this to say beef was perfectly safe. Sir Robert’s “We don’t know, but by analogy with scrapie the best guess is it’s OK”, very quickly became “It’s OK and here’s my daughter eating a hamburger to prove it”. Last year, after the BSE inquiry report was published, he said scientists should be more vocal when their advice is distorted.”Since BSE, no scientist is ever going to say again that there is no risk,” said Sir William Stewart, Sir Robert’s predecessor as CSA, who later chaired an inquiry into the risks of mobile phones. “The best thing is to ask the scientist what he would do himself.

William Hootkin’s excellent Thornton Clay – the stout, permanent bachelor kind of social climber who delights in inveigling invitations from the most impregnably lofty English families and then promptly dropping them – approaches the vowel in the word “clothes” with the showiness of someone who has learnt to walk on stilts round a mantrap.

Through the medium of Peter Hurford and the mind of Bach, we have a chance to partake of, in Spinoza’s words, “The highest endeavour of the mind, and the highest virtue”. One of the great attractions of Edinburgh is access to silence – the silence of the Pentland Hills, for example. Yesterday was my first rest day, and we went for a walk up there – it was so peaceful, we both fell asleep, and got severely sunburnt! And here at Greyfriars, with its kirkyard – you wouldn’t know you were in the middle of a city.” An ideal setting for playing, and listening to, this sublime music, on the magnificent Peter Collins organ of 1990.What is it, then, about Bach’s music, and his organ music in particular, that makes it so supremely great? “It’s his simultaneous mastery of technique and ability to convey what is deepest in his spirit in the music that he writes; to communicate the deepest emotions to people who feel the same.” Sitting in Greyfriars Kirk, listening to this timeless music, with the afternoon sun streaming through the stained glass windows behind the great organ case like Shelley’s dome of glass staining the white light of eternity, one knows that this is a very special experience.

I remember at a recital in Australia once, the organist played the Prelude and Fugue in D minor right through on full organ; it’s one of the few times I’ve really recoiled on behalf of my instrument – people gradually got up and walked out! I’m lucky – I’ve got my wife as my `ears at the back’.”Silence, as he’s already mentioned, is a big issue with Hurford. “My Who’s Who entry lists my hobbies as `walking, wine and silence’. “You have to learn to put your ears at the back of the church and think `What are they hearing?’ Essentially the intensity of sound can be enormous – you have to be careful. It’s the same as with the recordings – each one is a concert in itself.”Llike the great critic Ernest Newman, Hurford believes that “the Chorale Preludes are the key to the very heart of Bach”.”In planning this series, I started with the Chorale Preludes – the `Eighteen’, the Orgelbuchlein, and so on – and spread them through; the next thing was to choose good starting and finishing pieces – not necessarily loud for the latter, but one should always end with a big piece. The one mistake I feel I’ve made, so far, was ending the second programme with the Canonic Variations on `Von Himmel Hoch’ – not enough zip.”And putting yourself in the place of the listener is important. I feel my instrument does get rather a bad press, sometimes; probably because players will use the most obvious features – loudness, playing lots of notes very fast – losing sight of what Bach found so attractive about the organ – using it as a beautiful way of creating musical line.”Given the immense variety of the uvre, ranging as it does over the whole of Bach’s life, and containing everything from tiny Chorales to immense Preludes and Fugues, how did he approach planning the series? “My favourite listener is the man in the street,” he says, “someone who is interested, knows of Bach and, while he’s at the Festival, would like to come to an organ recital.

Of course, all that means nothing as the Rebels will come in and steamroll the Tigers, though a nice shoot-out is a possibility. It is also very questionable of what the starting lineup is going to be.The Pistons have a very talented squad, with a lot of scoring threats, but not much defense Which basically will make us the Phoenix Suns of the East.

But the Sooners would not give up, as an a five yard touchdown strike from Paul Thompson to Quentin Chaney and a following two-point conversion tied the game at 28 with 1:26 left in regulation.It would not stay tied forever, as on the following Boise State drive, quarterback Jared Zabransky was intercepted by Oklahoma’s Marcus Walker who returned the errant throw for six, finally giving the Sooners the lead.The game was far from over however, as coach Petersen got tricky, and with seven seconds left called for some razzle dazzle, scoring on a 50-yard hook and latter, sending the Glendale crowd into a frenzy as the Broncos forced overtime.The overtime period would be one for the ages, despite its brief stint.

I mean, real D-men like Mike Green score in a week what Redden scores in a year. Frankly, I think he should give the money back and play for what he is really worth. I didn’t know much about them, but I was going to run with it.Thankfully, I made a great choice.Mourning played “The Enemy” on the court, but was one of the best role models a young child could have. Whether or not fans can blame him for these mishaps is questionable, but it doesn’t bode well for a tailback when his two most memorable plays were near misses.And finally, there is last year’s No 2 running back, Deshaun Foster. He also said he would hold new talks next week with Igor Russia Russia. There were even thoughts of amputating Mantle’s leg after the injury.

With pitching again the primary concern as Milwaukee prepares to begin spring training later this week, all eyes now focus on the starting rotation as GM Doug Melvin has prepared a solid bullpen to support any rotation the Brew-Crew are finally able to string together. If a Laker drives to the hoop, and an official forgets to blow the whistle, while the ball is going back up court, there will be the player turning to the official, arms raised out to the side, making the patented, “Don’t you know I’m a Laker?

The irony of it is that if it is successful, they will have to find a live artist to represent the virtual one.”At the moment, Kyoko is a cultural phenomenon only in Japan and her fans are mainly otaku, full-on no-mate net geeks. Her profile reveals that she is age 17, 162cm tall, likes Toy Story and fancies Christian Slater. She has been kitted out with a family and kooky memories – her first love was a boy in her football club – and even poor vision.
Kyoko Date is the first “Digital Kid”, progeny of Japanese “talent agency” HoriPro Inc and computer graphic designers Visual Science Laboratory. The world’s ultimate exploitable star is a state-of-the-art virtual chick, made up of 40,000 polygons. She will happily frolic for free 24 hours a day without appearing at awards ceremonies with “slave” scrawled across her cheek.

No chance of her ever having posed for Playboy, or being caught hoovering up dunes of coke. Kylie is the original diminutive long-toothed Ozzie singing-and-soaping sensation, Neighbours’ Charlene to Dannii’s mere Emma of Home & Away.Plastic Fantastic: Dannii, 5ft 2ins, has changed in a few brief years from a raven-tressed balloon face with a chubby hooter to a slender blonde with narrow nose and large breasts “I don’t have a problem with surgery,” she says. Dannii recently posed in that internationally prestigious organ Australian Playboy.Fame Prospects: Dannii displays the determined camera-happy grin and glittering eyes of the ferociously ambitious. Expect further reinvention, body modification and a few more careers, including a spot as agony aunt for Australia’s Woman’s Day and the odd pet food ad..

Kyoko Date is not your average pop idol. OK, OK, she may have had a role in Young Talent Time when she was virtually a toddler and called plain-old “Danielle”, but obscure Antipodean broadcasts count for very little in this world. They never lose their dreadful accents or shed their essential small town lack of hip, but they do cop roles in pantos and behave Lycra-and-lager-lout style in trendy clubs.Past Form: Never forget that Dannii was famous first then Kylie came along and spoiled all the fun. Now she’s dating New York-based photographer Steve Shaw.Wizards of Oz: Let’s face it, trendy old London is full of irritating Ozzies who think it’s cool to live here – see Jason Donovan, Kylie, and now Home & Away’s Isla Fisher.

Now make yourself stop.Boy Toys: Dannii, 25, has publicly ached over the demise of her 17-month marriage to simmeringly handsome soap star Julian McMahon “My marriage will stay with me forever,” she says. Kylie lookee-likee.
Sister Act: While Kyles has made the almost unprecedented metamorphosis from bubble-permed nafferie to genuine crop-headed cool, with her wasted gamine icon status, sexy boyfriends and sense of irony, the package that is Dannii smacks of desperation, silicone, and the me-me-me screams of the frantic-to-be- famous Whistle one Dannii ditty Then whistle I Should Be So Lucky. Dannii, after floundering about horribly in the hit parade’s shallows, has suddenly emerged with a new single, a new body, a forthcoming album, and a starring role in the New Taste Diet Pepsi ad Welcome to Britain, er, Dannii

The 1993 world champion, Anna Biryukova, also went out after injuring her knee.

Kravets was one of the main threats Hansen identified before these championships. After suffering from an Achilles tendon injury, she returned to action last month in Nice where she recorded a merely respectable distance of 14.40.The first medal of the championships went to the Ukraine’s Aleksandr Bagach who beat the US wild-card entrant John Godina by three centimetres with 21.47m. Hansen, whose recent preparations had been undermined by a niggling back injury, underlined her medal potential by jumping 14.77 metres with her second attempt, some 20cm clear of the nearest challenger.The 25-year-old’s prospects were further improved by the withdrawal of the defending champion and world record holder, Inessa Kravets. The Scot – who complained afterwards of a hamstring problem – improved to 10.24 but could finish only fifth, not enough to see him through.Ashia Hansen gave Britain’s team one reason to be cheerful yesterday as she reached tomorrow’s triple jump final as the best qualifier. His successor as British champion, Ian Mackie, was drawn in Boldon’s heat after a disappointing 10.42 in the first round to earn a qualifying place by 0.01sec. Bailey was followed home by Darren Campbell, who secured a place in today’s semi-finals as one of the four fastest losers with a time of 10.13.Campbell’s coach and Britain’s fastest man this season – Linford Christie – was looking on from the BBC television commentary box.

He is, after all, the man who rescued TV-am by importing Anne, Nick and Roland Rat.Gyngell is a skilled businessman who has read the market well throughout his career. The NVALA may have clutched him to their hearts, but he has a long and noble history of lowering our broadcasting standards. “I believe that in the mass broadcast media people should expect never to be embarrassed and that they should be able to watch a programme with their families and be able to enjoy it.”Bruce Gyngell is an anomaly among moral crusaders. “The programmes that are the most popular on television are the ones that do stick to some family values,” he said. His remark at the Royal Television Society that “so-called entertainment which once could only be found in the seedy cellars and basements of Soho clip-joints is paraded on mainstream television as if it were respectable” became one of the most quoted of last year.”What,” he added, “are we doing to our sensibilities and moral values and, more importantly, to those of our children, when day after day we broadcast an unremitting diet of violence, extremes of sexuality and negative behaviour?”Comments worthy of Mrs Whitehouse.Last Friday brought more of the same. In January, YTT replaced Hollywood Lovers with reruns of Whicker’s World.These events were given an extra fillip by Gyngell’s notable skills at publicity. Last year, the sex shows Carnal Knowledge, The Good Sex Guide and God’s Gift bit the dust.

Gyngell, a dapper 67-year-old Australian, has entered the good books of the NVALA by pulling programmes and providing soundbites that pierce the heart of Middle England. Presenting are Diane-Louise Jordan, former Blue Peter girl now fronting Songs of Praise, and the man who is the current darling of the new moralists and has been described by NVALA’s Chairman, The Revd Graham Stevens as “a television director who has taken action to show that he is concerned about working to good broadcasting standards”.
Step forward Bruce Gyngell, MD of Yorkshire/Tyne Tees. This year’s winners are Great Ormond Street, Pride and Prejudice and Goldwyn Associates’ The Business: Tomorrow’s Television. Recipients of their awards have included Cliff Richard, Frank Bough, Tomorrow’s World, Jim’ll Fix It, Songs of Praise, Crimewatch, Highway, Record Breakers and Challenge Anneka. NVALA is the watchdog body set up by Mary Whitehouse to keep an eye on the nation’s programming.

This is not your average boozy media event: tea and sandwiches and a sartorial style owing more to Lord Cardigan than Mr Armani. Friday night, in a church hall in Marylebone, and the National Viewers and Listeners’ Association (or “National VALA” as their courageous acronym runs) are handing out their annual awards. I like sticking my neck out, which probably hasn’t done me any favours in the company I’m currently at, but I think you have to fight for what you believe in. Glenda is a great example of that, because when we launched Marie Claire, I got such criticism over her appointment, internally and externally “What are you doing, Heather?” people said.

Fitch believes that concern regarding this litigationis offset by the fact that the payment of the PILOT by the Carousel Owner isabsolute and unconditional, notwithstanding the inability of the Carousel Ownerto recover this payment from its tenants. Some of the mall’s tenants have recently terminated their leases as a result oftheir respective bankruptcy filings and several others are currently delinquentin their PILOT payments. It is envisioned that bonds issuedto fund future expansions will be separately secured by PILOTs on other portionsof the Carousel Center, which will constitute separate tax parcels, and will notbe owned by the Carousel Owner. The bonds are secured by a PILOT payable to SIDA by the Carousel Owner,pursuant to a PILOT Agreement, and interest earnings on the debt servicereserve.

PILOT mortgages granted by the Carousel Owner and SIDA impose a liensimilar to liens imposed by taxing authorities, and provide for similarremedies, i.e., foreclosure of property and tax lien sale. The obligation of theCarousel Owner to pay the PILOT is on par only with governmental charges andfees, all of which are senior to any other payment obligations, including debtservice to any other lenders, operations and maintenance and any distributionsto the Carousel Owner. The interestearnings on the GIC (projected to yield approximately 4.9% annually) combinedwith the annual PILOT payments described below provided 1.0 times (x) debtservice coverage on the bonds. The issuance of parity bonds requires an increase in thePILOT equal to the additional debt service. The bond proceeds were used to fund an expansion project at the Carousel CenterMall.

Pledged revenue is now likely to be insufficientto fully cover debt service as the level of interest earnings on the series Areserve fund has declined significantly in the current low interest rateenvironment. NEW YORK–(Business Wire)–Fitch Ratings has placed the unenhanced ratings of Syracuse IndustrialDevelopment Agency, New York’s (SIDA) $228.085 million PILOT revenue bondsseries 2007 A (rated ‘AA-’ by Fitch) and $97.648 million PILOT revenue bonds,taxable series 2007 B (rated ‘AA-’ by Fitch) ( collectively, the bonds) onRating Watch Negative. The Negative Watch is expected to be resolved in the nearterm pending the receipt and analysis of additional information from the issuer.The Negative Watch reflects the dramatic decline in expected pledged interestearnings on the series A reserve fund as a result of the termination of aguaranteed investment contract (GIC) entered into at the time of closing on thebonds with XL Asset Funding Company LLC (XL) and the limited financialflexibility to offset the lost earnings in the current market.

But Doyle repeated that Charter had not made a major change to its quarterly numbers.DirecTV has previously been sued successfully by Time Warner Cable and Comcast Corp in cases of false advertising.The satellite company, which is owned by former media mogul John Malone’s Liberty Media Corp, has been winning video customers across the United States, even as cable companies have lost video subscribers. The campaign said there was no way Charter could continue to provide more HD channels or exclusive programing, according to Charter.Charter said in other ads, DirecTV claimed Charter customers must be “saved” from its bankruptcy.”DirecTV’s ads are literally false, grossly misleading, cause consumer confusion, and are likely to deceive Charter’s current and prospective customers,” Charter said in the court document.A DirecTV spokesman said “we stand by the accuracy of our advertising.”St.
