HOUSTON — A youth minister who confessed to the unsolved 1994 killing of a convenience store clerk is being widely forgiven by worshipers at his former church who say they admire his courage to finally surrender to police.Calvin Wayne Inman, 29, remains jailed without bond since being charged Wednesday with capital murder in the stabbing death of a clerk during an alleged plot to steal cash and cigarettes. He was 16 at the time.In the first service Sunday at the 800-member Elim Church since Inman was arrested last week, congregants praised the recently ordained minister as a born-again role model taking responsibility for his sin."He's a hero, really," said Kelley Graham, 24. "I don't know how many people would do what he did. The Bible says you just need to confess to God. Calvin took an extra step."Ordained as a minister in November, Inman's admission broke a cold case for police in suburban Pasadena. He went to authorities on Feb. 5, voluntarily giving a statement admitting that h

Manley Augustus Buchanan (born April 19, 1949, Trenchtown, Kingston, Jamaica), better known as Big Youth (sometimes called Jah Youth), is a Jamaican DJ, mostly known for his work during the 1970s. Influenced by U-Roy, he started singing with Lord Tippertone's sound system in 1970. His first LP Chi Chi Run was produced by Prince Buster in 1971. The name of the band Sonic Youth is in part a tribute to Big Youth."Yes, me come inna de music as Rasta, me a de original rastaman who enter it."

It's good to know that there's more to come from Sonic Youth. Even if it's a bit disappointing we're going to have to wait until 2009. Thurston Moore tells NME:‘We haven’t gotten together in about four months, we’ve been taking a nice sort of break, which is good. I’ve been actually able to escape into the basement. We’re going to Australia next week for about two weeks then we’ll come back and start writing.’We're not sure what Thurston Moore has in his basement; perhaps wisely, NME didn't ask.

Gulmarg (J-K): Sports like ice hockey, snow rugby, ice-skating, and ice-skiing have been very popular but now snow cycling seems to have caught the fancy of the young generation. The first ever snow cycling event was recently organised by Department of Tourism here. "Snow cycling is a new thing here. We want to convey that in European countries such events are common but in India, I think, its something new and that too for the first time in Kashmir," said Shabir Ahmed, a resident.Snow cycling is difficult as the crust thickness vary according to the amount of sun it has been exposed to. The bikers were geared up with the latest available equipments and warmer suits to cover the difficult terrain on their cycles to the top and then racing downwards.According to the bikers this adventure sport requires a lot of practice. "One needs to know the proper technique while cycling in snow. For this event, we have been practicing for a while and all the boys have succeeded in cycling up and dow
If you have irritating skin conditions or are concerned about keeping the skin's signs of aging at bay, you will definitely want to read on. Two recent, exciting advancements are radically changing the face of skin care. Surprisingly, both of these breakthroughs have one common ingredient: water.Just H2O? No, this is not your ordinary tap water. The process to produce the water, called electrolysis, was originally discovered in the United Kingdom during the latter part of the 19th century. The procedure restructures water molecules, rendering them much smaller than normal, therefore allowing them to slip between surface skin cells and hydrate at a much deeper level. The electrolyzed water can also be made in either acidic or alkaline states. Scientists from Germany, Russia, the UK, and Japan have recognized the great advantages of the acidic (low-pH) water. It has been used for years in areas such as medicine, agriculture, and food production. But it was the Japanese who first brought

More Work Ahead For AIDS Group:
By Rolanda Epstein -
Nassau, Bahamas:
Although Youth Ambassadors for Positive Living [YAPL] are making positive strides in the fight against HIV/AIDS, Chairman and CEO of the non-profit organization Keith Kemp says the group still has a whole more work to do in 2008.
Mr. Kemp said in working closely with young persons in the community he perceives them as being very open and honest about the deadly disease. He said many of the myths young people believe about HIV/AIDS have been cleared up through forums YAPL holds at church meeting, schools and civic meetings.
He also said through a continuation of educational programmes, young people are becoming more receptive and open towards persons who are HIV-positive.
"I think they are now being able to see HIV as an ordinary chronic illness in terms of cancer and diabetes," Mr. Kemp told the Journal.
He said the problem is that young persons are not applying the information they receive about HIV/AIDS in th

The 21-man roster for the U.S. men's national team's game at Switzerland this Saturday features a whopping seven uncapped players and only eight from this summer's Gold Cup-winning side. Head coach Bob Bradley apparently opted to let his MLS players concentrate on the playoffs. Only three MLS guys made the roster--Maurice Edu, Robbie Findley and Chris Seitz--and all play for teams that aren't going to play in the post-season. The "Europeans" on the other hand, are in full force, but for some reason Bradley is going with Marcus Hahnemann over Tim Howard. Not sure what that's about; it's not like Howard is injured anymore (is he?). Maybe Bradley just wants to give Hahnemann a look.The seven uncapped players are goalkeeper Tally Hall (plays for Denmark's Esbjerg--no I haven't heard of them either), defender Steve Purdy (1860 Munich), midfielder Danny Szetela (Racing Santander) and forward Preston Zimmermann (Hamburg SV), along with the aforementioned Edu, Findley and Seitz.With the excep
Earlier this week, Sheikh Abdel-Aziz Al-Asheikh – the most senior Wahhabi cleric in Saudi Arabia -- released a rather surprising religious edict. In this fatwa, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia instructed Saudis not to leave the Kingdom to participate in jihad – a statement directed primarily at those considering going to Iraq. Al-Asheikh said that he decided to speak up, “after it was clear that over several years Saudis have been leaving for jihad” and that “our youth…became tools carrying out heinous acts.” Perhaps even most significantly, Al-Asheikh also addressed potential donors, urging them to “be careful about where [their money is] spent so it does not damage young Muslims.”

From SFGate:Poll: Young voters disenchanted with Republican party... A Democracy Corps poll from the Washington firm of Greenberg Quinlan Rosner suggests voters ages 18 to 29 have undergone a striking political evolution in recent years. Young Americans have become so profoundly alienated from Republican ideals on issues including the war in Iraq, global warming, same-sex marriage and illegal immigration that their defections suggest a political setback that could haunt Republicans "for many generations to come," the poll said. The startling collapse of GOP support among young voters is reflected in the poll's findings that show two-thirds of young voters surveyed believe Democrats do a better job than Republicans of representing their views - even on issues Republicans once owned, such as terrorism and taxes. And among GOP presidential candidates, only former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani registers with more positive views than negative with young voters, the poll shows. The anti-GO

Youth stage is the replica of a chaos liberating room filled with loads of friends around dancing and sweating; everyone with a style statement of their own personal attitude. Today youngsters grow up in a surrounding where there is flooded media coverage on latest fashion, celebrities acknowledging functions and a high on air materialistic world. They spend their time in diverse groups and hence have unique lifestyles clothing. They are brand centralized today. So the question is , what is the thinking of youth today in terms of fashion?· They require clothes that replicate their attitude.· They consider fashion isn’t confined to their apparel only, and hence youth spend more money on accessories.· They love to explore places and hunt and therefore they love to test different brands in the market.· Youth are sensible too; they remain loyal to the brands which they feel are promising.Technorati Profile

It has been said that one of the keys to successful marketing is a good understanding of your target demographic.The Fly PenTop Computer site is a fantastic example of a website clearly in touch with its target market. I believe it is a truly great example of understanding who it is you wish to sell your product to and then utilising technology to 'speak' to that audience.Any examples of South African companies doing the same type of marketing online?

One of my sons asked me the other day what were some of the things I did as a kid.

And then I introduced them to the concept of the "Tomboy".I told them about how I helped build numerous forts out of anything I could get my hands on, along with my sister and two best "boy" friends.How we made our own putt-putt golf course under the pine trees and then played for hours.How we went exploring in the hollows of rural Alabama, playing Land of the Lost alongside the creek and in the bluffs.How we swung off rope swings into the creek, crossed ancient bridges over said creek, falling in the water on purpose and trying to catch the fish with our bare hands.About when we went fishing with our grandmother on the banks of the river and then watched her clean the fish and cook it.How we played cowboys an
