Arrested A Man in Milly murder case

A 40-year-old man has been arrested by detectives investigating the murder of 13-year-old Milly Dowler in 2002.

Her body was discovered on Yateley Heath, Hampshire, six months after she disappeared on the way home from school in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey.

Surrey Police said the man was being questioned over the disposal of a red Daewoo Nexia car seen in the area.

It is understood the man, from west London, is not suspected of having direct involvement in the murder.

Car 'on CCTV'

A spokeswoman for Surrey Police said: "A 40-year-old man from West London was arrested by Surrey Police at 10am this morning after voluntarily attending a police station.

"He is being questioned about the potential disposal of a red Daewoo Nexia car, which police have appealed for information about as part of their investigation into the murder of Milly Dowler."

It is understood that detectives want to question the man about what happened to the car, which is part of the ongoing unsolved murder investigation.

Police have indicated the man is unlikely to be charged with any criminal offences on Tuesday.

The car was captured on CCTV in Walton-on-Thames minutes after Milly, whose real name was Amanda, disappeared.

Convicted killer Levi Bellfield, who was last year jailed for the murder of two young women in London, has since been linked to the Milly Dowler case.

It followed fresh appeals by detectives in 2008 to trace the red Daewoo Nexia.

Scrap dealer

It later emerged that a car of the same model and colour was owned by Bellfield's then-girlfriend, Emma Mills.

Bellfield was given a "whole life" sentence after he bludgeoned Amelie Delagrange, 22, and Marsha McDonnell, 19, when they got off buses in south-west London.

He was also found guilty of trying to kill Kate Sheedy, then 18, in 2004 and was named as a prime suspect in the Milly Dowler inquiry.

The former nightclub bouncer and wheelclamper, now 41, was arrested and interviewed over the teenager's death four years ago.

In a newspaper interview this year, he admitted driving his girlfriend's car on the day Milly disappeared.

The car was reported stolen from a pub car park in Hounslow, west London, several days later, and was not seen again.

In their hunt for the vehicle, police searched 35 miles of waterways and 40 other water sites, including reservoirs and lakes in Surrey and neighbouring counties.

Detectives suspect it could have been crushed by a scrap dealer.

A similar red car also featured in another investigation, into a case in which a 12-year-old schoolgirl told police a man in a red car offered her a lift home in Shepperton, near Walton-on-Thames, on the previous day.

Milly's Fund

When the schoolgirl's decomposed remains were found, police used dental records to identify them as Milly's.

The spot was about 25 miles away from where the teenager was last seen.

She had phoned her father on 21 March 2002 to say she would be home in half an hour, but she disappeared near Walton-on-Thames railway station that afternoon, triggering a UK-wide search.

After the loss of their daughter, Bob and Sally Dowler set up a charity in Milly's name which saw a series of high-profile safety initiatives launched.

Mrs Dowler said the safety campaign had helped the family avoid falling into a black hole from which they might never resurface.

And Mrs Dowler also spoke of the family's pain in not knowing how her daughter died "or where, or when, or by whose hand".

The family went on to back renewed police appeals, including a reconstruction on the BBC's Crimewatch programme last year, that led to officers pursuing 97 new leads

China 'trusts prostitutes more'

China's prostitutes are better-trusted than its politicians and scientists, according to an online survey published by Insight China magazine.

The survey found that 7.9% of respondents considered sex workers to be trustworthy, placing them third behind farmers and religious workers.

"A list like this is at the same time surprising and embarrassing," said an editorial in the state-run China Daily.

Politicians were far down the list, closer to scientists and teachers.

Insight China polled 3,376 Chinese citizens in June and July this year.

"The sex workers' unexpected prominence on this list of honour... is indeed unusual," said the China Daily editorial.

"At least [the scientists and officials] have not slid into the least credible category which consists of real estate developers, secretaries, agents, entertainers and directors," the editorial said.

Soldiers came in fourth place.

Iran questioning US tourist trio

Three Americans arrested after apparently straying into Iran are being questioned by police, Iranian state television has reported.
"We don't know whether they are tourists or not. We are questioning them," said a local security official.

Iranian officials have accused the three of ignoring warnings from border guards and crossing over from Iraq's Kurdish region on Friday.

The frontier between Iran and Iraq in the region is said to be poorly marked.

Iraj Hassanzadeh, the deputy governor of Iran's Kurdistan province, told Iran's Fars news agency the trio were arrested on the Malakh-Khor border, near the town of Marivan, but that their identities were not yet known.

"Anyone who seeks to illegally enter the country from the Kurdistan border will be arrested," he said.

'Gifted'

The detained Americans have been named by relatives as Shane Bauer, a Middle East-based freelance journalist from Minnesota, his girlfriend, Sarah Shourd, and Joshua Fattal from Pennsylvania, whose father is Iraqi.

All three are reported to be experienced travellers

Mr Bauer, an Arabic speaker, had been studying the Middle East and planned to report on forthcoming Kurdish elections in Iraq for the California-based New America Media (NAM), said the group's executive director, Sandy Close.

Ms Close said Mr Bauer was a "gifted young correspondent" and had not had any plans to cross into Iran.

"How he'd gone into the hills, how he wound up crossing the border I have no idea, but never in the year we've been in correspondence has he indicated any interest in covering Iran," she told the Associated Press, adding that Mr Bauer did not speak Farsi.

"It's unthinkable to me that he would have just simply decided on some crash adventure," she said.

Mr Fattal's mother, Laura, told CNN she and her husband were "eager for the best welfare and conditions" for their son and his companions.

On Monday, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she was "concerned" and appealed for their safe return.

The BBC's Jon Donnison in Washington says the detentions are possibly the last thing the US government wants given how strained relations already are by the dispute over Iran's nuclear ambitions and its recent presidential election.

Problem for Pay Czar!

$100 Million Payday Poses Problem for Pay Czar!

In a few weeks, the Treasury Department's czar of executive pay will have to answer this $100 million question: Should Andrew J. Hall get his bonus?

Mr. Hall, the 58-year-old head of Phibro, a small commodities trading firm in Westport, Conn., is due for a nine-figure payday, his cut of profits from a characteristically aggressive year of bets in the oil market.

here is little doubt that Mr. Hall is owed the money under his contract. The problem is that his contract is with Citigroup, which was saved with roughly $45 billion in taxpayer aid.

Corporate pay has become a live grenade in the aftermath of the largest series of corporate bailouts in American history. In March, when the American International Group, rescued at vast taxpayer expense, was to give out $165 million in bonuses, Congress moved to constrain the payouts, and protesters showed up at the homes of several executives.

As it happens, one can see some of those homes from Mr. Hall's front lawn in Southport, not far from his office. But his case is more complex. Mr. Hall, raised in Britain and known for titanium nerves and a collection of pricey art, is the standout performer at an operation that has netted Citigroup about $2 billion over the last five years. If Citigroup will not pay him the huge sums he has long made, someone else probably will.

The added wrinkle is that Mr. Hall works in a corner of the trading world that appears headed for its own infamy. Regulators are pushing to curb the role of traders like Mr. Hall, whose speculation in the energy markets may have played a major role in the recent gyrations of oil prices.

That suggests that last summer, drivers paid more at the pump, at least in part, because of people like Andrew J. Hall. How do you hand $100 million to a guy who may have profited because gas hit $4 a gallon?

Whatever the answer, the case of Mr. Hall highlights the hazards of mixing the public interest with capitalism at its most unbridled, and it raises basic questions of fairness. There was outrage last week over a report by the New York attorney general that about 5,000 traders and bankers at bailed-out firms got more than $1 million each last year. So it could be politically untenable for a company like Citigroup to pay gargantuan sums even to those who generate gargantuan profits -- the very people the company must retain if it is to recover.

Among those who believe the Phibro-Citigroup relationship is doomed by bailout politics is the $100 million man himself. People with knowledge of talks between Phibro and Citigroup say that Mr. Hall is quietly pushing for what is being called "a quiet divorce" from his parent company and that he has had preliminary talks with one possible suitor.

Wary of publicity and worried that he will become the next marquee villain of the financial collapse, he has discussed with Citigroup's leadership a number of possibilities, including a spinoff.

Mr. Hall has plenty of sway over the fate of Phibro because much of its value is thought to flow from his expertise and track record. If he leaves, he could start another firm and bring colleagues with him.

History suggests that he is accustomed to getting his way. Two years ago, Mr. Hall waged a legal fight with the Historic District Commission of Fairfield over an 82-foot concrete sculpture that he had placed on the front lawn of his 7,300-square-foot Greek Revival mansion, where he lives with his wife, Christine. He thought he did not need permission to display the work, but because of his neighborhood's preservation restrictions, the state Supreme Court ultimately ruled that he did.

"The strange part is that I think he would been approved if he'd asked for permission," says Richard Hatch, who headed the commission at the time.

Mr. Hall lent this work to the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, though not because he lacks display space. A few years ago, he bought a medieval castle in Germany from the neo-expressionist painter Georg Baselitz, and he and his wife have turned the property, said to contain roughly 150 rooms, into a private museum for their collection.

"He has about 4,000 pieces in what could easily be described as one of the world's finest collections of contemporary art," said a New York dealer, Mary Boone. It includes pieces by Andy Warhol, David Salle, Bruce Nauman and Julian Schnabel.

The son of a British Airways employee who trained pilots, Mr. Hall was raised near London, and he graduated from Oxford University with a degree in chemistry. He moved to the United States in 1981 to work for British Petroleum. His trading there caught the eye of Phibro, a firm that started as Phillips Brothers early in the last century and which, in the 1970s, was the home of Marc Rich, the fugitive pardoned by President Bill Clinton.

By 1987, Mr. Hall was running Phibro. It is based today in a generic red building, part of a bucolic, 53-acre office park that was once a dairy farm. (Its former neighbors included the notorious AIG Financial Products division.) The trading floor is a modest room that was once the company's kitchen, before it downsized about a decade ago.

Mr. Hall and his colleagues -- there are about 55 in the Westport office, and handfuls in London and Singapore -- specialize in a variety of hedging and arbitrage techniques.

Generally, Phibro looks for anomalies in the market and pounces, taking advantage of unusual spreads between the spot price of oil and the price of an oil futures contract.

The company, for example, often wagers that the price of oil will rise so fast during a particular period, say six months, that it can make money by storing oil in supertankers and floating it until the price goes up. (If the price rises by more than it costs to lease the tankers, he makes money.)

Other deals are more complex. Right before the first Gulf War, Phibro placed an elaborate bet that the price of oil would spike and then go down faster than others were anticipating. The company earned more than $300 million from the gamble.

"He's got great memory, great focus," says Philip Verleger, an author of books about oil markets and a friend of Mr. Hall. "He's not as arrogant as other people who make the kind of money he makes. Of course, you make that kind of money and you're going to be a little arrogant."

A spokesman for Kenneth Feinberg, the Treasury's pay czar, said the reviews of compensation figures were just starting and that pay levels must strike the right balance between discouraging excessive risk-taking and encouraging reward.

"We are not going to provide a running commentary on that process," the spokesman, Andrew Williams, wrote by e-mail, "but it's clear that Mr. Feinberg has broad authority to make sure that compensation at those firms strikes an appropriate balance."

The mere specter of such review is already hurting Citigroup. A person familiar with its staffing travails says that for months it has been trying to fend off competitors who are calling employees and saying, in effect, "Come and work for a company that doesn't have to contend with public scrutiny."

James Forese, Citigroup's co-head of global markets, says Mr. Hall's pay-for-performance contract is the kind the pay czar will like. "We're confident in the value these types of profit-sharing arrangements bring to the company and its shareholders," Mr. Forese wrote in a statement, "as they directly align compensation with performance."

Still, the company is an awkward spot, and it is hard to say which is worse: the inevitable public outcry if Mr. Hall is paid $100 million, or the risk that he might take his talents to a firm in which the public has no stake.



Kites Vs Kajraare

MUMBAI: One has an Iron Body… and the other… an Iron nose.
Kites and Kajraare
Come this October (Diwali)… you will witness the clash of two of the most anticipated movies of this year, Kites and Kajraare. If you are not aware of the star cast and still wondering about Iron Body and Iron Nose, here is the list: Kites would star Hrithik Roshan, Kangana Ranaut and Barbara Mori. The movie is directed by Anurag basu. Whereas… Kajraare would star Himesh Reshammiya and Pakistani beauty Mona laizza. The movie is directed by actress-turned-director Pooja Bhatt.

More than anything… this is going to be the clash of Alphabets. Both the movies have ‘K’ as the starting alphabet in their titles. We know how crazy the producers and directors are after ‘K’.And if that is not enough, both the actors’ names start with ‘H’.

All said… I have a strong feeling that both the movies are going to bomb big time at the box-office. How long could anyone survive with six packs and Sinus affected nose?

Sentencing Postponed on 2003 Mumbai Bombers

MUMBAI: An Indian judge on Tuesday adjourned sentencing on three people found guilty of planting bombs that killed 52 people in Mumbai in 2003, as the prosecutor pushed for the death penalty.

Judge M.R. Puranik, sitting at a special anti-terror court in the city, deferred judgement on Haneef Sayyed, his wife Fahmeeda and Ashrat Ansari until Thursday after hearing arguments from their lawyers.

All three were convicted of a string of charges last week, including murder and attempted murder, after two bombs exploded at the Gateway of India monument and the Zaveri Bazaar jewellery quarter on August 25, 2003.

Israel Must be Crash Zawahiri Warned to Obama

DUBAI: Osama bin Laden’s right-hand man Ayman al-Zawahiri took aim at US President Barack Obama in a new video, accusing him of continuing to spill the blood of Muslims and saying Israel was a ‘crime’ that must be wiped out, according to a US monitoring group.

He also dismissed Obama’s Middle East peace push as a “deception,” and accused Obama of seeking to create a “Palestinian state that works as a branch of the Israeli intelligence,” according to a transcript published by the SITE Intelligence Group.

“Israel is a crime that must be eliminated,” al Qaeda’s second-in-command said, according to SITE.

Zawahiri also rejected Obama’s overtures to the Muslim world as an illusion, pointing to raids in Pakistan’s tribal regions and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and speaking of “bloody massacres.”

Balochistan High Court All Judges Resign

Registrar BHC has confirmed the resignations, saying that all the five resignations have been sent to President for approval.

More resignations from the PCO judges of Supreme Court of Pakistan and the other three high courts are expected to avoid references in Supreme Judicial Council against them as was announced in a verdict by a full bench of SC on Friday.

After Tuesday’s resignations no judge is presently available in the high court to hear the cases. It is expected that President Asif Ali Zardari would soon carry out fresh appointments in the court on the advice of Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani and on the recommendations of Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry.

Bill Clinton Arrives in North Korea

Hafiz Saeed Trial Acid Test for Pakistan: Krishna

NEW DELHI: Pakistan’s real test that it is acting against India-specific terror will come when it acts “decisively” against Lashkar-e-Taiba chief Hafiz Saeed, Indian Foreign Minister S M Krishna has said.Hafiz Saeed Trial Acid Test for Pakistan, Krishna

In an interview with Times of India, Krishna indicated that foreign secretaries’ talks would be “futile” if Pakistan did not create a “favourable” atmosphere.

The sentiment is a marked departure by India from the Indo-Pak joint statement that said foreign secretaries would meet “as often as necessary”.

“Unless they address our concerns on terror and as the PM put it, create a favourable atmosphere for talks, talks will be futile. For any talks you have to build a favourable atmosphere, trust needs to be built up.”

“In its absence, regardless of how many times the PMs or foreign ministers meet or foreign secretaries meet, it will have no impact. Pakistan should address our terror concerns, move decisively against those people named by India, and then tackle them accordingly. This will be the first indication to the government of India that they are moving decisively to tackle terror,” the minister said.

Asking Pakistan to “come clean”, Krishna said, “We have provided, according to our judgment and assessment, enough evidence to punish anybody for terror-related activities. We know for a fact that Hafiz Saeed is the mastermind of Mumbai attacks. We also know that UN Security Council has passed a resolution where Hafiz Saeed has been named a terrorist.” Equating the al-Qaida and LeT, Krishna said he saw a pattern in their targeting of India.

“The al-Qaida and LeT are all different names but they work in tandem for the same purpose ? to destabilise India and divert our attention from the path of development. I’m afraid the whole exercise of these terror activities from Pakistan is to divert us from our progress,” he said.

“We should put them on notice,” the foreign minister added. “We want Pakistan to bring the same kind of seriousness that they are employing against the Taliban in Swat to the terrorists against India.”

Sarah Palin Affair

Sarah Palin divorce? Everyone need to know about Sarah Palin Divorce.A couple of bloggers in Alaska posted stories this morning claiming to have inside information that former Gov. Sarah Palin is divorcing her husband Todd.

The bloggers went on to claim that Sarah Palin plans to leave the state, possibly moving to Montana.

To try to bolster its credibility, one of the sites claims to have been the first to report two previous Sarah Palin scoops: that Sarah Palin was running for governor and later that she was joining Sen. John McCain on the Republican ticket. In other words, the blogger is claiming to have a pretty good source inside the Sarah Palin camp.

The juicy details this blogger, The Immoral Minority, claims to have sound right out of a soap opera. For example, Sarah Palin apparently was not wearing a wedding ring at her farewell picnics last weekend. One blogger claims that’s because Sarah Palin recently threw the ring into a lake in a fit of anger. Seems awfully clichĂ©,sarah palin divorce scandle doesn’t it?

Sarah Palin spokeswoman Meg Stapleton issued a statement – on Facebook – blasting the claims as a bunch of bunk from “some so-called journalists.” Sarah Palin says there’s absolutely no truth to the rumor and reminded everyone that a week ago Sarah Palin “asked the media to ‘quit making things up.’ ”

The story, naturally, is getting attention on politics blogs, but nothing has moved on the wires at this hour. This looks like one that will burn up the blogs on the Internet for a few hours but not make it into print outside the tabloids.

CBS News appears to be the only mainstream media weighing in on the issue on its news page online rather than just in a blog. This story on its politics page (and on web sites of its affiliates) adds a quote from one Sarah Palin attorney, who says the divorce story is “categorically false” and another Sarah Palin’s lawyer who says the rumors are “totally untrue.”

CBS News goes further to tamp down the rumor by quoting its own political director as saying that Sarah Palin often campaigned without her wedding ring. And a CBS News producer who followed Sarah Palin on the campaign trail says that the claim that the Palins weren’t talking to each other at last weekend’s picnics “appears to be untrue.” The online story, though, does not note on what basis the producer made that assessment. Was he there last weekend or is he reporting what his sources are telling him?

CBS also says Sarah Palin may make a statement herself later today.

If Sarah Palin does, it will be her first since leaving office. Though she said she would remain active in politics, primarily through Twitter, observers pointed out this week that she has been completely missing from the scene.

This one goes out to the one I love

Remember way back in the day, for must of us Generation Y’rs, that was high school and junior high, when sending a special message, via music, was as easy as calling your local radio station and dedicating a song? There was a perfect song that described exactly how you felt and you could say “this one goes out to the one I love.”

Now, before anyone gets too excited, the I in the title is not referring to me specifically, but rather to us collectively. How can we send a message out to the one we love these days?

I can’t think of a single radio station that even has a dedication hour any more. And, even if there was one, the odds of your flame, or whomever you are dedicating a song to, actually hearing it, especially with XM/Sirius and iPods, are slim to none. (Oh, wait, Delilah does still take dedications, but it’s doubtful that a substantial number of Generation Y’rs follow that program, or at least fess up to it.) So, how can we send one out to the one we love?

  • iLike Facbeook music application – Not only can you create playlists to share with the rest of the online world, you can dedicate those songs on your lists, and so can your friends. (Truth be told, this is very cool application whether you’re in dedicating songs or not.)
  • Twitter – You can tweet your sweet dedication and even saying “this one goes out to the one I love” leaves you with 105 characters to explain exactly what “this one” is. (Perfect idea for MusicMondays).
  • FB Wall posts – You know the ones, the nauseating ones you send to your special someone’s page and all your friends roll their eyes at when they see (openly they roll their eyes, secretly they wish they had a post like that on their wall). Nothing says I love you like quoting song lyrics on a FB wall for all the world (and more importantly all your friends) to see.
  • DJ – (is this really an option?) There’s always the hope that you can find a nice DJ at whatever club, restaurant, bar or party you’re attending, who will let you say those precious little words before rolling out your special song. (haha…can you imagine?)

Alright, admit it, “this one goes out to the one I love” probably isn’t a phrase we’ll use to much these days unless it is somehow connected to an online endeavor (or you’re really into vintage R.E.M.). But it’s a nice thought. Who doesn’t appreciate the occasional public flaunt of affection? With that in mind, this one goes out to the ONES I love (i.e. YOU–my subscribers/readers) “Thank You” by Dido. (Oh, I know … unbelievably cheesey … sorry. Once again, full permission to mock me!)

Michael Jackson Deathbed Photo Published by News of The World

A photo of Michael Jackson’s deathbed has been published by News of the World.

The photo, which was reportedly taken of the second floor bedroom where Jackson died, shows alcohol pads used for cleaning the skin before injections, a roll of surgical tape and a box of latex gloves. There is also a used AMBU bag - a pump device used by medics to force air through a mask and into the lungs, on the floor at the bottom of the bed.

More medical equipment sits on a trolley to the left, and according to an insider, oxygen bottles sit just out of view of the camera.

In the center of the bed is an incontinence pad. Also on the bed is a makeshift tourniquet, an unopened tube of Crest toothpaste, prayer beads, and the legs of a doll that usually sat on top of the bed sticking out from under the duvet.michael jackson death bed pic

A landline phone sits on the nightstand next to the bed, contradicting Dr. Conrad Murray’s claim he delayed calling 911 because there was no phone nearby.

The picture was taken by a family insider the day after Jackson’s death. It shows the bedroom at the rented Holmby Hills home where Dr. Murray is thought to have stored medical supplies, exactly as detectives found it after paramedics rushed the King of Pop to the hospital.

Los Angeles County Coroner Lieutenant Fred Corral confirmed, “That IS the scene where Michael Jackson died.”

New of the World is not publishing Michael Jackson’s deathbed photo online. It is only available in their Sunday print edition (that is, until someone leaks it online

Demi Moore Twitter Picture – Hoax or publicity stunt?

Demi Moore Twitter Picture: the picture featuring Demi Moore Mohawk style is today’s hottest commodity on the internet.



The real question is about the authenticity of the image. Most claim it’s an astute and perfect photoshop.



The picture surfaced today on Demi Moore’s husband Twitter page.



Ashton Kutcher’s public Twitter profile has already been a hot internet commodity when he posted the famous sexy photo of his wife’s... errr.... behind.



Hundreds of thousands have been viewing his twitter page. A success that urged Kutcher to post the following: “I’m just playing baby, but I think you’d look great with that cut…”



We also think Demi Moore Mohawk looks great; we actually believe she’d be a perfect fit as top star and exclusive UFC ring girl at the upcoming UFC 101.



Needless to say our sports writers Jake Thompson and Phil Simms have the UFC 101 fully covered be it rumors, odds, picks and fight card.
