UK's Hague: Syria to face more pressure (Reuters)

LONDON (Reuters) ? British Foreign Secretary William Hague said on Monday the international community would do as much as it could to turn up the heat on Syria after President Bashar al-Assad said he would not bow to pressure to crack down on protesters.

"We will increase the pressure on the Assad regime. I discussed this with the Secretary of the Arab League yesterday and I believe they will wish to do so at their further meeting tomorrow," he told BBC Radio in an interview.

"The behavior of that regime is appalling and unacceptable and of course we will do what we can to support democracy in Syria in the future."

Hague will meet representatives of various Syrian opposition groups in London later on Monday in an intensification of contacts with opponents of Assad.

"We're not at the point of a formal recognition of them ... partly because there are differing groups; there isn't a single national council as there was in Libya ... and the international community has not yet reached that point."

Hague said the international community had "done a lot" already to ratchet up the pressure on Assad, including imposing sanctions and stopping all of Syria's crude oil exports from entering European Union waters, representing a quarter of the regime's revenues.

"We are working this week on a further round of sanctions which I hope we can agree next week," Hague added.

Dumb GOP Quote Of The Day: President Of UT College Republicans Apologizes For Saying Shooting Obama Is ?Tempting?

Posted on November 19th, 2011 - By Bossip Staff

Barack Obama and UT College Republicans president Lauren Pierce

We?ll start by stating the obvious: Ho Sit Down!

Lauren Pierce is the current president of the College Republicans at The University of Texas at Austin. The organization has been accused of racism in the past, and doesn?t seem to care about changing this tradition. This week on Twitter, the president said that the idea of assassinating President Obama is ?tempting.? Only in Texas would the idea of killing a black man be so pleasing.

?Y?all as tempting as it may be, don?t shoot Obama. We need him to go down in history as the WORST president we?ve EVER had! #2012.?

Pierce sent her ?enticing? tweet right after a man was arresting for firing shots at President Obama and his family. Pierce may be too young to understand that death threats are very real for President Obama and his family.

Pierce later said that her excitement over someone shooting President Obama was merely a ?joke? and that the ?whole [shooting incident] was stupid.? She then joked even further, saying that shooting President Obama would ?only make the situation worse.?

The group?s Vice President stood by Pierce?s racism, stating that she made a ?positive statement.?

Some other members of the UT College Republicans have called for her resignation. What do you think? Should she take a seat?

Her faulty tweets are below:

Robin Gibb Battling Liver Cancer | PerezHilton.com

robin-gibb-has-liver-cancer.jpg

We are so sad about this.

Legendary singer/songwriter Robin Gibb, of the Bee Gees, has been diagnosed with liver cancer.

A few months back, he was diagnosed with the disease by doctors after being hospitalized for stomach pains. But things have seem to have gotten worse as he was rushed to the hospital earlier this week.

Thankfully, he was discharged five hours later, but that still doesn't stop the concerns.

Since Tuesday, he's canceled several public appearances.

So sad. Robin is in our thoughts and we are praying for him.

Self-help guru gets 2 years in sweat lodge deaths (AP)

PRESCOTT, Ariz. ? A charismatic self-help author was sentenced Friday to two years in prison for leading an Arizona sweat lodge ceremony that was supposed to offer spiritual enlightenment but instead ended with disoriented participants struggling to breathe and being dragged outside. Three people died.

A judge gave James Arthur Ray three, two-year sentences, to be served concurrently, and ordered him to pay more than $57,000 in restitution

"I find that the aggravating circumstance of emotional harm is so strong and such that probation is simply unwarranted in this case," Yavapai County Superior Court Judge Warren Darrow said.

The courtroom was silent as the sentence was handed down. The victims' families held hands, as did Ray's parents and brother.

Afterward authorities immediately took custody of Ray, who will serve his time with the state Department of Corrections. Ray's parents, Joyce and Gordon Ray, said they hoped to get a chance to meet with him briefly after the hearing. They declined to comment further.

Defense attorney Luis Li said an appeal was likely. "We just hope the process of healing can begin and the victims' families can find some peace," he said.

County Attorney Sheila Polk said she was disappointed that the judge didn't give Ray the maximum sentence of nine years in prison. She said she made a strong case for accountability, justice and deterrence ? "all the reasons a more significant prison sentence should have been imposed."

But, Polk added, "certainly some prison over probation is better than no prison at all."

Ray had faced probation to nine years after being convicted on a trio of negligent homicide counts. Authorities originally charged Ray with manslaughter, but jurors rejected arguments that he was reckless in his handling of the October 2009 ceremony.

Prosecutors urged Darrow to hand down the maximum sentence to keep Ray off the self-help circuit and from harming others. Ray's attorneys said probation was best for a man who showed remorse, lacked a prior criminal history and is the sole caretaker for ailing parents.

Earlier Friday, Ray stood before the judge and the victims' families and begged for forgiveness. He said he would have stopped the ceremony had he known people were dying or in distress.

Ray turned to the more than a dozen family members seated in the courtroom, tearfully taking responsibility for the pain and anguish he caused them.

"At the end of the day, I lost three friends, and I lost them on my watch," Ray said. "Whatever errors in judgment or mistakes I have made, I'm going to have to live with those for the rest of my life. I truly understand your disappointment in my actions after, I do. I'm disappointed in myself. I don't have any excuse."

It was the kind of apology that the victims' families say they would have like to receive from Ray immediately following the deaths of Kirby Brown, 38, of Westtown, N.Y.; James Shore, 40, of Milwaukee; and Liz Neuman, 49, of Prior Lake, Minn., more than two years ago.

"There was nothing you could teach Liz, James or Kirby about honor, integrity and impeccability, but they could have taught you a lot," Neuman's cousin Lily Clark said in a raised voice while looking at Ray. "They were born spiritual warriors, and you are not worthy to spit shine their combat boots."

Ray's motivational mantra drew dozens of people to a retreat nestled in the scrub forest near Sedona with a promise that the sweat lodge ceremony typically used by American Indians to cleanse the body would help them break through whatever was holding them back in life. It was the culminating event of his five-day "Spiritual Warrior" seminar.

Participants began showing signs of distress about half way through the two-hour ceremony. By the time it was over, some were vomiting, struggling to breathe and lying lifeless on the ground. Two people ? Brown and Shore ? were pronounced dead. Neuman slipped into a coma and never regained consciousness. She died more than a week later at a Flagstaff hospital.

The trial was a mix of lengthy witness testimony and legal wrangling that lasted four months. Witnesses painted conflicting pictures of Ray, with some describing him as a coach who encouraged participants to do their best to endure the heat but never forced them to remain in the sweat lodge. Others said they learned through breathing exercises, a 36-hour fast, and a game in which Ray portrayed God that they dare not question him and lost the physical and mental ability to care for themselves or others.

Prosecutors contended that Ray ratcheted up the heat to dangerous levels, ignored pleas for help and watched as participants were dragged out of the sweat lodge. Ray's attorneys suggested that toxins or poisons contributed to the deaths, but jurors said that theory was not credible.

Ray's attorneys made at least nine requests for a retrial or mistrial based on what they say were errors by the prosecution. While Darrow ruled that prosecutors broke disclosure rules, he rejected each of the defense requests. The case is bound for appeal.

Sony starts making NEX and SLT cameras again, following Thai floods

DPReview reports that Sony has resumed production of its SLT and NEX cameras, which may include the NEX-7 and A65 cameras, after two of its three main manufacturing plants in Thailand were hit by extreme floods nearly a month ago. The impact was enough to make a sizable dent in the company's financial outlook and force it to establish a new plant further south in the country. There's apparently still no confirmation of when products will start shipping, but as long as the conveyor belts are rolling and people are back in employment, we're not complaining.
