Dope growers failed to stop confiscation order

A DUO jailed for growing home-grown cannabis at three houses in Kent and south east London failed in an Appeal Court bid on Tuesday to hold onto their ill-gotten gains. Pascal Owens and Wendy Rutter, both 32, were prosecuted after cannabis plants were discovered at two addresses in Sidcup and another property in Eltham. Police were first alerted after a British Gas engineer called at their rented property in Hurst Road, Sidcup, to disconnect the supply, only to discover “plants at various stages of cultivation” on the premises. Mr Justice Forbes – sitting with Mr Justice Davis – said an address in Eltham was also searched, with 7. 8 kilos of home-grown cannabis recovered.
HDS Greenway: Morocco’s challenge
International Herald Tribune – Apr 12, 2006
France and Spain left without a fight, and the country never disintegrated into chaos as so much of Africa did. Unlike so many states created by colonialists, Morocco was never a made- up country. Its borders have grown and contracted over the centuries, and dynasties have come and gone, but Morocco and its monarchy go back to the eighth century. Morocco claims to have been the first country to have recognized the independence of the United States, and colonization did not come until the early 20th century when the French and the Spanish divided Morocco between themselves. By 1956, however, the French, having lost Indochina and trying to hold onto Algeria next door, decided to withdraw peacefully from Morocco. The Spanish followed suit, except for two tiny toeholds on the Strait of Gibraltar. King Mohammed V returned from enforced exile in Reunion, and the country was basking in its newfound freedom… But it will be a race against time. Morocco still has low literacy and high poverty rates. And while it was thought here that the passions and political poisons of the Middle East might not reach this far west to the "farthest land of the setting sun," as it was known to Arabs in ancient times, the bombings in Casablanca in 2003 by home-grown Islamic militants ended the dream of Moroccan exceptionalism. America and Europe have a great deal riding on Morocco's success, and both know it. Both are looking at ways to ease trade restrictions and bring Morocco more into a Western economic orbit. Morocco's brand of tolerant, moderate Islam, not at war with modernity, is the West's best hope. And since the king, as a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, is "both president and pope here," as one diplomat put it, the best chance for democratic reform will come from the throne.
Manager’s lineup starts at home
St. Petersburg Times – Apr 12, 2006
, the home of Devil Rays manager Joe Maddon, food has kept its identity, flavor and language. "Joey,'' like most folks in this patch of northern Appalachian mining country, still salutes baseball, hoagies and pitza pie. Oh, Hazleton makes plenty of what the rest of the world calls pizza, maybe more per capita than other city, but the home-grown specialty is pitza, plain square thick crust pie topped with tomato sauce, cheese and a few slices of pepperoni. It is best served cold, and can be found in cardboard boxes in groceries, bars and gas stations throughout coal country. Maddon's favorite and the local crowd pleaser is the pitza from Senape's Bakery in Hazleton. In interviews on opening day in Baltimore, Maddon tossed a softball pitch to sports scribes and any of his homies who were listening: Locals coming to Rays games should pack a care package of only-in-Hazleton delicacies. That day, mom Albina Maddon had shown up with hoagies from the Third Base Luncheonette where she works and is known as Beanie.
A waste of time and space
Times Online – Apr 12, 2006
For me, the stereotypical Trekkie is a local authority filing clerk who likes to pretend he is a muscle-bound Captain Kirk, defeating aliens and casting lascivious glances at his mini-skirted, knee-length booted assistant, Lieutenant Uhura. For years we in Britain had our own home-grown, humble version of Star Trek, in the form of the faintly absurd Dr Who, which was, thank goodness, taken off the air in 1989 after almost three decades. It had its pathetic band of adult followers who got together at conventions to discuss time travel or Daleks. Fortunately, this kind of social inadequate was generally kept out of public view, except for the occasional appearance on breakfast television dressed as a sea monster. Yet, after a reassuring absence of 16 years, Dr Who returned to our screens in 2005 and proved a ratings hit, attracting more than ten million viewers. What was once little more than a children’s series had suddenly become the linchpin of the BBC’s drama schedule… For me, the stereotypical Trekkie is a local authority filing clerk who likes to pretend he is a muscle-bound Captain Kirk, defeating aliens and casting lascivious glances at his mini-skirted, knee-length booted assistant, Lieutenant Uhura.

The new Dr Who, which returns to our screens on Saturday, has not only vast popular appeal but has also attracted praise from normally sane critics.
