Meet EntrePod, Our New Lil Friend
February 28, 2009 01:23 PM PST
Welcome to BADGALS REVIEWS-Entrecarders With Our Recommendation-We Want to share the good news about some of our Favorite Entrecarders and Their Blogs.Since You Were All Exceptionally good this afternoon we've decided to give the late readers a treat - introducing EntrePod.
When I first visited this blog a few months ago, I was awe struck by how razor sharp this guy's assessment of the current political situation really was. he was openly supporting the Obama campaign. His way of doing it was via comparisons with the current administration at the time - Bush and Co. He had me rolling on the floor laughing at the Bush and Dick Jokes (yes we realize what we just said, and we're glad you do too.. but he said it, not us). then he "liberally" sprinkled in his secret desire to investigate then secretary of state Condi Rice. Oooooo La La ! You Bad Boy You.. Just look at how in a last ditch effort to help salvage the Bush Rep, he proposed a new citizen funded venture capital op - this guy is really working for America, God bless Him. these days our friend has stuck to such political hot spots as the present problems with our Tinker Toy Passenger Rail System, and it's unbelievably faus paux make-over. never-mind that he writes like a washington hater - this guy is a total insider; in the know that is. as an example of how clever he is, when he's bored he conducts international investigations. just look at how skillfully he uncovered the problem with the Irish Drivers License Fraud. better known as the “Prawo Jazdy” Scam. Sheer Razor Sharp Wit, I Tell You.."This Guy is No Johnny Come Lately - No Sir Ree Bob.." Trust Us, if you are interested in getting to the middle of this political Donut, make sure you stop over for a lil daily Paczki at Politicus.US. and yes we did say Paczki - for those who are uninitiated, that's pronounced "Punch Kee". as in donut stuffed with jelly and deep fried for serving on Fat Tuesday.

WE Lost another Reggae Great last week - the High Priest of Reggae, Roy Shirley.[podcast]http://badgals-radio.com/wp-content/uploads/royshirley-pod.mp3[/podcast] Jamaica Gleaner News - 'High Priest' remembered - Tuesday | July 22, 2008 <!-- Begin of Kontera div //--> 
Roy Shirley goes down on his knees as he wows the audience at the palace Theatre. - file
ROY Shirley, the theatrical singer known as the High Priest of Reggae, has died. An entry on the Trojan Records website said Shirley passed away last week in Britain.
No cause, or date of death, was given.
Shirley was best known for the 1967 hit song, Hold Them, which was produced by a young Joe Gibbs. Several musicologists consider Hold Them to be the first rock steady song.
Although he had other songs of note including I Am The Winner and Heartbreak Gypsy, a cover of soul singer Ben E King's hit.
Hold Them was the Kingston-born Shirley's signature song. Early in his career, he worked with Jimmy Cliff and Ken Boothe, but never matched the chart success of those singers.
Shirley's penchant for drama (wore capes, 'wept' during performances) overshadowed his talent, but reggae historian Roger Steffens said there should be no disputing the mark he made on Jamaican music.
"As an artiste, he was unique and inimitable. He had a voice like a squeezed mango, a stage manner that bordered on the absurd, and a strange offbeat sense of humour that found expression in odd songs like Dance the Auna and Music Field," Steffens told The Gleaner.
Shirley, who was 64, last performed in June at the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival in Boonville, California.
He immigrated to England in 1973, and like many of his contemporaries, developed a cult following in that country. He last performed in Jamaica in 2004 at the Stars 'R' Us show.
Roy Shirley facts
Was born Ainsorth Roy Rushton Shirley.
First song, Shirley, was done for producer Leslie Kong in 1962.
Was founding member of vocal group The Uniques with singer Slim Smith.
Founded the British Universal Talent Development Association.

Foreigners were forced into temporary camps in May
|
South African police have forcefully removed hundreds of immigrants from temporary shelters where they had taken refuge from xenophobic attacks.
Authorities say the immigrants, who were taken to a repatriation centre in Johannesburg, had not registered with the home affairs department. They now face deportation to their home countries, officials said. More than 60 immigrants were killed and tens of thousands more fled during the attacks against foreigners in May. <!-- E SF --> A BBC reporter witnessed angry and emotional scenes at the Glenanda temporary centre as they were removed. Some immigrants chanted “human rights for refugees” as they were driven away by dozens of riot police. The BBC’s Mpho Lakaje said the immigrants taken from the camp, where about 2,000 people were sheltering, included women and children. “It is not the South African government’s intention to deport a huge group of people, but we want to identify the ring leaders [behind unrest at the camp] and deport them,” Home Affairs Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula told South Africa’s Independent newspaper. ‘Very disappointed’ Home Affairs spokeswoman Cleo Mosana said the immigrants had been offered exemption from deportation but had not taken it up. She said they had been given enough time to apply for proper documentation, but had refused to do so. Many foreigners said the registration process was not clearly explained, or that they did not register because they feared losing their refugee status. The government denied this would happen. One woman from the Democratic Republic of Congo said her sister was among those taken away. “They are going back to their country, but I know in our country there is still fighting,” she said. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Listen to
THIS WEEKS COMPLETE Episode Here
Tavares-finson
King’s House has refused to say whether it has formally apologised to Senator Tom Tavares-Finson for incorrectly informing him that it had no record of a pardon being granted to Marcus Mosiah Garvey.
By way of a letter, King’s House had told the senator that no such request was ever formally made on behalf of the country’s first National Hero, to expunge from the records two convictions for contempt of court on August 5 and September 26, 1929.But Rose-Marie Gibbs, the governor general’s acting secretary, said documents detailing the pardon were subsequently found.
Grave embarrassment
However, Gibbs refused to say where they were found. She also refused to say whether a formal apology has been made for misinforming the senator.The incorrect information was used by Tavares-Finson in his contribution to the State of the Nation Debate in the Senate on July 4 and has caused him much embarrassment, The Gleaner has learnt.
During the debate, Tavares-Finson called for a statutory declaration by Parliament to remove the designation of ‘convicted criminal’ from four National Heroes, including Marcus Garvey.
However, Garvey had already been pardoned in 1987 after the then Cabinet, led by Prime Minister Edward Seaga, petitioned then Governor General, Sir Florizel Glasspole, to posthumously grant the National Hero pardon.
Sources close to the senator told The Gleaner yesterday that since then, Tavares-Finson has been the butt of many jokes among his professional peers and members of the Senate.The source also revealed that Tavares-Finson had been even reprimanded by the prime minister for the boo-boo.On the contrary, an article published in The Gleaner on August 18, 1987, confirmed that Garvey was post-humously granted pardon.The article also stated that Seaga made the announcement at Garvey Day ceremonies in St Ann’s Bay. When contacted yesterday, Seaga expressed certainty that the pardon sought by his Cabinet for Garvey was granted.
Tavares-Finson’s could not be reached yesterday, as he was said to be abroad on business. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Are Lab Rats Smarter Than US Politicians?
Mon, 14 Jul 2008 22:26:12 By: Paul Armentano, NORML Deputy Director
So if rats can deduce that whole cannabis works better as a medicine than a single synthesized molecule, what’s stopping our federal Government and bureaucrats from reaching this same conclusion? Antihyperalgesic effect of a Cannabis sativa extract in a rat model of neuropathic pain: mechanisms involved via PubMed; This study aimed to give a rationale for the employment of phytocannabinoid formulations to treat neuropathic pain. It was found that a controlled cannabis extract, containing multiple cannabinoids, in a defined ratio, and other non-cannabinoid fractions (terpenes and flavonoids) provided better antinociceptive efficacy than the single cannabinoid given alone, when tested in a rat model of neuropathic pain.
On a separate but related note, am I the only one offended that most scientists appear to be more inclined to document pot’s healing powers in rats and mice than in, say, human beings?
Of course, if you want to enroll in clinical trials intent on documenting so-called “marijuana abuse,” you can take your pick of The So Called Abuse Trials Here.
Austria Allows Cannabis For Medical Purposes
Sun, 13 Jul 2008 15:08:18 By: Allen St. Pierre, NORML Executive Director
VIENNA (AFP) - Austria’s parliament has adopted a new bill allowing the cultivation of cannabis for medical and scientific purposes, under the Health Ministry’s control.The bill, approved by parliament during a late-night session Wednesday, will give the health and food safety agency AGES the exclusive right in Austria to grow the plant, which is otherwise categorised as a drug.
Michael Bach, president of the Austrian pain studies association OeSG, welcomed the new legislation, saying: “Any initiative that makes it possible to develop and provide new drugs for pain therapy is welcome.”
“Substances drawn from cannabis have been used for medical purposes more and more in the last few years,” he added.
Possession of or dealing in cannabis incurs a 6-month prison sentence in Austria.
a new ruling by the Supreme Court of Cassation has sided with the Rastafarian religion’s treatment of marijuana as a sacred sacrament.
The news from Rome hit the streets Friday morning, as a case brought before appeal judges against a reggae musician sentenced to 16 months in prison by a lower court in Perugia, was overturned.
Virtually unheard of in Roman Catholic Italy, Rastafarians were presented to the court as a faith that allows its members to smoke even 10 grams of marijuana daily.
HEALTH BLOG: Is pot really more potent these days?
Smoking pot in Italy is not a crime, but being caught with amounts considered too large for personal use can bring charges of trafficking.
The panel should examine whether the House Ways and Means Committee chairman broke ethics rules by using House stationery to solicit corporate donations for the Charles B. Rangel Center for Public Service at the City College of New York, said Kevin Smith, a spokesman for House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio), and Melanie Sloan, executive director for Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
Rangel (D-N.Y.), 78, drew criticism last year for obtaining a $1.9 million earmark to help start the center. He has met with potential donors such as Donald Trump and officials of insurance giant American International Group in an effort to help the college reach its $30 million goal. The center promotes diversity in public administration and will house Rangel’s official papers when he retires.
“This is yet another example of the hypocrisy of House Democrats who famously promised to ‘drain the swamp’ in Washington,” Smith said. “Using taxpayer resources to solicit donations for a ‘monument to me’ earmark fiasco raises serious questions, and the ethics committee has a responsibility to examine this issue.”
Sloan, a former federal prosecutor and Democratic House committee staffer, said there is no question that Rangel crossed an ethical line.
“It’s not a close call,” she said. “He’s clearly violated the rule against using the letterhead.”
Sloan pointed to a House ethics provision that allows members to solicit money for certain kinds of nonprofit groups but bars the use of office equipment and supplies. It specifically bans the implied official endorsement that accompanies use of congressional stationery.
“No official resources may be used,” the rule reads, in part.
Rangel, who could not be reached for comment yesterday, last week defended his fundraising efforts. “If it was an ethical problem, I wouldn’t do it,” he said.
Meanwhile, Rangel is facing a political controversy back home. The New York Times reported Friday that the 38-year veteran of Congress pays below-market rents on four apartments in the Harlem building in which he lives, sparking criticism in a city where affordable housing is in short supply.
Rangel, who defended the arrangement as legal and fair last week, said Monday that he would give up one of the apartments, which he uses as a campaign office.
