The Michigan soccer referee critically injured this weekend after he was sucker-punched during an adult-league game died Tuesday in an area hospital. John Bieniewicz, 44, was left in critical condition Saturday in Livonia after witnesses say he was punched in the head as he reached down for a red card.
Police said Baseel Abdul-Amir Saad punched Bieniewicz after he indicated that the 36-year-old Dearborn resident was going to be ejected. Livonia police and the Wayne County prosecutor's office have not named the referee, whom Jim Acho, a childhood friend, identified as Bieniewicz.
One witness told MyFoxDetroit.com that Bieniewicz was punched near his throat and fell without raising his arms. The death was confirmed by the hospital and a family friend.
Saad was arraigned Monday in Livonia District Court on a charge of assault with intent to do great bodily harm. Bond was set at $500,000, and a probable-cause hearing was set for July 10. Article gives no info about Saad other than his name and age.
[CTVNEWS.CA] Amanda Knox's former Italian boyfriend said Tuesday the American student provided alibis for him that he will use to try to persuade Italy's court of last resort to dismiss his conviction for the murder of her British roommate.
Raffaele Sollecito hopes the Court of Cassation will rule he deserves yet another trial and throw out the 25-year sentence he received in January from a Florence appeals court, which convicted both him and Knox for the 2007 murder of Meredith Kercher, 21.
His lawyers will stress apparent contradictions in the Florence court's 337-page verdict explanation.

[PHILADELPHIA.CBSLOCAL] Fire officials in Bucks County are investigating what caused a laptop computer to explode, injuring the woman who was using it inside her Langhorne Manor home.
"It blew up. It flipped my computer back and the battery pack and all came out this way," Loretta Luff recalled, "The next thing I knew, my shirt was on fire, I grabbed that and took that off and I think that's when I singed my hair."
Even with her singed hair, burned face, arm and foot, Luff considers herself lucky. She says she is grateful she and her disabled husband escaped worse injuries when her Dell laptop exploded Sunday afternoon.

A built-in danger especially for Li-ion batteries. They are all supposed to incorporate protective circuitry to prevent certain kinds of electrochemical runaways. Good thing this didn't happen on a plane in flight.

As I understand it, the fix will consist of a heavy steel box surrounding the battery, with vent tubes leading away from the subject's lap. Then when the battery goes into runaway, the explosive gases will harmlessly dissipate overboard.

[Iran Press TV] The corpse count from a deadly Ebola outbreak in West Africa has risen to 467, the World Health Organization (WHO) says.
The UN health agency said on Tuesday that there have now been 759 confirmed or suspected cases of Ebola, which has affected Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
The latest figures showed a 38-percent increase in the number of deaths and a 27-percent rise in the number of overall cases since the WHO's last update on June 24.
The data comes shortly before a meeting in Ghana by 11 West African health ministers who are seeking to find a way to contain the deadliest outbreak of the virus in history.
There is currently no known cure for Ebola, a form of hemorrhagic fever whose symptoms are diarrhea, vomiting and bleeding.
The virus spreads through direct contact with infected blood, feces or sweat. It can also be spread through sexual contact or the unprotected handling of contaminated corpses.
Ebola was first discovered in the Democratic Republic of the Congo ...formerly the Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Zaire, and who knows what else, not to be confused with the Brazzaville Congo aka Republic of Congo, which is much smaller and much more (for Africa) stable. DRC gave the world Patrice Lumumba and Joseph Mobutu, followed by years of tedious civil war. Its principle industry seems to be the production of corpses. With a population of about 74 million it has lots of raw material... in 1976 in an outbreak that killed 280 people.

Any ideas as to the reservoir organizm for the virus - where it hides between human outbreaks? Has to be something that has developed a significant immunity to it. Maybe chimp or gorilla? And the virus enters the human society through handling or consumption of contaminated bush meat?
#6
Last week (?) there was a report of about 35 or so victims missing; any ideas where they might have gone? With our wide open borders it would be easy to get a person in the early stages smuggled into Mexico and then into the US to spread this disease.
#7
(Reuters) - West African states lack the resources to battle the world's worst outbreak of Ebola and deep cultural suspicions about the disease remain a big obstacle to halting its spread, ministers said on Wednesday."In Liberia, our biggest challenge is denial, fear and panic. Our people are very much afraid of the disease," Bernice Dahn, Liberia's deputy health minister, told Reuters on the sidelines of the Accra meeting.
"People are afraid but do not believe that the disease exists and because of that people get sick and the community members hide them and bury them, against all the norms we have put in place," she said.
Authorities are trying to stop relatives of Ebola victims from giving them traditional funerals, which often involve the manual washing of the body, out of fear of spreading the infection. The dead are instead meant to be buried by health staff wearing protective gear.
Neighboring Sierra Leone faces many of the same problems, with dozens of those infected evading treatment, complicating efforts to trace cases.
The Red Cross in Guinea said it had been forced to temporarily suspend some operations in the country's southeast after staff working on Ebola were threatened.
"Locals wielding knives surrounded a marked Red Cross vehicle," a Red Cross official said, asking not to be named. The official said operations had been halted for safety reasons. The Red Cross later said only international staff were removed.
A Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) center in Guinea was attacked by youths in April after staff were accused of bringing the disease into the country.
WHO has flagged three main factors driving its spread: the burial of victims in accordance with tradition, the dense populations around the capital cities of Guinea and Liberia and the bustling cross-border trade across the region.
[An Nahar] Britannia should take a tougher stand towards Spain in disputes over Gibraltar, including using legal action and more diplomatic protests, a parliamentary committee urged on Tuesday.
Spain disputes British illusory sovereignty over the peninsula, which has long been a point of contention in relations between the two countries, with tensions increasing over the last year.
The Foreign Affairs committee, a group of politicians who analyse the work of Britannia's Foreign and Commonwealth Office, urged the government to "get off the fence and take a tougher line with Spain" in a report to Westminster.
It recommended the government increase diplomatic protests and summoning of the ambassador, and make London's support for Spanish aims on the international stage dependent on Madrid's action regarding the British outpost.
"The behavior of Spain toward Gibraltar is unacceptable. We have a situation where a NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis.... and EU ally is deliberately impacting the economy of a British Overseas Territory," the committee's chairman Richard Ottaway said.
"We are giving entirely the wrong impression to Spain about how seriously the UK takes these issues."
Ottaway accused Madrid of increasing ship incursions into British waters and deliberately causing delays at the border between Spain and Gibraltar for political reasons.
He said Britannia should threaten to take legal action against Spain if the situation does not improve within six months.
Madrid tightened border checks in response to Gibraltar's building an artificial reef in disputed waters, which Spain said blocked fishing boats.

[Iran Press TV] Russian President Vladimir Putin ...Second and fourth President and sixth of the Russian Federation and the first to remain sober. Putin is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from polonium poisoning. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to Putin. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead... has accused the West of hatching a plot to destabilize the whole region through its intervention in Ukraine.
Putin made the remarks over Russia's foreign policy during a meeting with the diplomatic service, including Russian ambassadors, at the Foreign Ministry in Moscow on Tuesday.
"Events provoked by the West in Ukraine are a concentrated manifestation of a containment policy against Russia," Putin warned, dubbing Western sanctions regarding Russia a "policy instrument."
The Russian president highlighted underlying ethnic and social contradictions in troubled countries, which he said can pave the way for illegitimate regime change.

[An Nahar] The United States Tuesday welcomed a historic shift by Japan to expand the role of its military by reinterpreting the terms of the nation's U.S.-imposed constitution.
"We have followed with interest the extensive discussion within Japan on the issue of exercising its right under the U.N. Charter to collective self-defense," State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf said. "We welcome the government of Japan's new policy regarding collective self-defense and related security matters."
Might as well welcome what is inevitable, and thereby take some credit...
After months of political horse-trading and browbeating of opponents, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said his cabinet had formally endorsed a reinterpretation of rules that have banned the use of armed force except in very narrowly-defined circumstances. Under the new definition, Japanese troops will now be able to come to the aid of allies -- primarily the United States -- if they come under attack from a common enemy, even if Japan is not the object of the attack.
The dramatic shift comes amid soaring regional tensions with China centered on disputed islands in both the South China and East China seas.
Abe had originally planned to change Article 9 of the U.S.-imposed constitution, which was adopted after World War II and renounces "the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes."
But unable to muster the two-thirds majority he needed in both houses and unlikely to get an endorsement from the public in the required referendum, he changed tack, opting to reinterpret the rules.
Harf said the U.S.-Japan alliance was "one of our most important... security partnerships."
"We value efforts by Japan to strengthen that security cooperation and also value Japan's efforts to maintain openness and transparency throughout this decision-making process that's led up to this new policy."

[An Nahar] Ukraine's new leader congratulated his troops on Tuesday with the "first victory" in their resumed campaign against separatist insurgents, announcing they had regained control of one Russian border crossing.
President Petro Poroshenko's office said government forces had seized back the Dovzgansky crossing in Lugansk -- one of 24 in the separatist province, most of which are under rebel control.

[HERALDSUN.AU] THE Interior Ministry headquarters in eastern Ukraine's largest city has fallen to pro-Russia separatists after a five-hour gunbattle that erupted hours after the Ukrainian president ended a cease-fire.
THE shaky cease-fire had given European leaders 10 days to search for a peaceful settlement, and its end raised the prospect that fighting could flare with new intensity in a conflict that has already killed more than 400 people since April.
In Tuesday's festivities, rebels fought for more ground, and badly trained and disorganised government troops seemed incapable of crushing the mutiny.
President Petro Poroshenko had called a unilateral cease-fire to try to persuade the rebels to lay down their weapons and hold peace talks. Some of the rebels signed onto the break in fighting as tentative negotiations began, but each side accused the other of repeated violations. When he ended the cease-fire, the president said the rebels were not serious about peace.
In Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin ...Second and fourth President and sixth of the Russian Federation and the first to remain sober. Putin is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from polonium poisoning. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to Putin. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead... argued that substantive talks with representatives in eastern Ukraine had failed to start in earnest and that the cease-fire announced by Poroshenko amounted to an ultimatum to the rebels to disarm.
The Russian leader also denounced the Western threat of sanctions as blackmail, adding that Moscow wouldn't accept "ultimatums and mentor's tone."

At least the Russkies have a firm hand at the helm, unlike another nation I might mention.
Washington is a city of frequent surprises, but this latest one about Barack Obama and Narendra Modi takes the cake. President Obama was at a fundraiser, a very, very exclusive one, to raise money for Democrats in the Senate and in the House of Representatives who are fighting the November election with their backs to the wall. There — predictably as Indians in their current national mood are prone to assumptions — one of the fat cat donors asked about India's new prime minister.
Obama replied in his calm, no-nonsense style that he continued to have concerns about Modi's past. The reply shook up the small audience which was hanging on to every word that came out of the president. It was a surprise because the media coverage after Modi's rise as the new star over the Indian political horizon had created an impression that bygones are now bygones in the Modi-Obama equation, which the incumbent president, in any case, had inherited from his predecessor, George W. Bush.
The invitation to Modi to visit the White House in September, rarely extended to leaders who travel to New York for the annual United Nations General Assembly, had additionally been interpreted — quite wrongly as it turns out — that the United States of America had reversed course on its visa ban on the long-time former chief minister of Gujarat. One television station went so far as to assert that the US had done a U-turn on Modi. Nothing is farther from the truth.
Given such atmospherics, it was only natural that Obama's admission that he continues to have concerns about Modi's past triggered a supplementary question to Obama as a follow-up. The president was unflappable. He was a master of understatement. His reply was a classic. Once again, the answer vindicated the 2008 rhyming description of him during his first successful presidential campaign as "No Drama Obama."
"My name is Barack 'HUSSEIN' Obama," was all that he said in a reply that was pithy but pregnant in its implications. The president did not, of course, emphasize his Muslim middle name. The emphasis in the text here is mine. He did not have to: because the self-sustaining emphasis was not lost on anyone present at the fundraiser. There was a brief, but stunned, silence as everyone who heard the president digested the import of what Obama had said in six words that were worth a thousand.
Ever since I first met Obama in 2004 when he was elected to the Senate as one of its junior-most members and easily accessible then, I have heard him use his middle name only twice. At his inauguration on the steps of the Capitol building in 2009 and again in 2013. Those who follow Obama closely agreed that this fundraiser was probably the third time he used his Muslim name and its significance cannot be overlooked.
On a visit to Washington last week, I was recounted this very revealing anecdote on the strict understanding that if I ever wrote about it I would leave no clues about the source of my information, that I would be as vague as possible about this fundraiser and that I would also balance my account of the incident against the reality that notwithstanding the president's personal concerns about Modi, the Obama administration will leave no stone unturned to work towards a thriving relationship with the new Bharatiya Janata Party-led government in New Delhi.
Whatever maybe tugging at the president's heartstrings and triggering his feelings about the man who became India's prime minister over a month ago, it is a given certainty that Modi will receive a spectacular red carpet welcome in the White House in September. There will not even be a hint during the visit of past baggage in Modi's equation with two successive American administrations. Every effort will be made to live up to the prime minister's expectation — which he has shared in the last few weeks in more than one private conversation — that his September sojourn is to be the most important of his foreign visits in the immediate future.
More than most politicians elsewhere, the only times US presidents and presidential hopefuls come anywhere near telling the whole truth is when they are at fundraisers. Which is not surprising because without fat cat donors, no public servant seeking high elected office has any chance of succeeding in America where money is the pivot on which elections revolve.
During the 2012 US presidential campaign, with only seven weeks to go before voting, the Republican candidate, Mitt Romney, was caught in a surreptitiously taped video as admitting at a fundraiser that he did not care about the kind of people who support Obama because they take no responsibility for their livelihoods and think they are entitled to government handouts. Romney acknowledged in the leaked video that such Obama supporters account for "47 percent" of voters and that he, Romney, does not "worry about those people."
Romney, according to opinion polls then, had a reasonable chance of defeating Obama, but Romney's true self that was revealed to donors in a purportedly secret conversation severely damaged the Republicans and they did not recover in that presidential poll cycle. Obama quickly pounced on Romney's disparaging remarks about nearly half of America's population. His campaign said, "the president certainly does not think that men and women on Social Security are irresponsible or victims, that students aren't responsible or are victims…"
Politics in America is replete with examples of truth having brought down aspirants for high office. In the 2006 Senate election season, a potential presidential hopeful, Virginia Senator George Allen, was caught on video making racist comments about an Indian American student volunteer for Democrats who was at his campaign event. "This fellow here, over here with the yellow shirt, macaca, or whatever his name is. He is with my opponent. He is following us around everywhere." The leaked video did Allen in and he lost.
Wiser by such experiences, Obama's fundraiser where he opened a small window to his true feelings about Modi was carefully managed to avoid any faux pas on account of leaks. Video cameras were out of question, of course. Donors had to deposit their mobile phones outside the venue, pens or even notebooks were not allowed. Every donor was then frisked to ensure that the president would not have to confront the ghosts of any of his truthful assertions to his moneyed supporters.
But there is nothing to beat the most conventional method of passing information which has stood the test of time: word of mouth. I have verified with a second donor what I was told by one donor about Obama's remarks referring to the prime minister. The second donor, too, insisted on discretion, however, and protection of his identity because this US administration is seen in Washington as the most unforgiving in recent years, where those who fail tests of loyalty to the White House are treated as no less than apostates.
Yet it is a tribute to the perennial concessions that America makes to its larger interests and an example of its diversity of State machinery that work has already begun in earnest in Washington to guarantee that Modi's first visit to the city as prime minister will be a milestone to remember in Indo-US relations. Like all successes, the perceived transformation of Modi from persona non grata into a welcome friend in the White House is a success that has many claimants for its fatherhood.
However, two names deserve mention: Frank Wisner, former US ambassador in New Delhi, and Ron Somers, who recently resigned as president of the US-India Business Council. These two men took it upon themselves while the Lok Sabha election campaign was under way to mobilize America's business community as the vanguard of a change in attitude towards Modi.
Contrary to the impression in India, there is no evidence to support any claim that the US has changed its policy on a visa for Modi. His new job as head of India's national government entitles him to an A-1 visa. As chief minister, he was not entitled to this visa and he was denied a visa in the category that he was eligible for as Gujarat's top official. What the campaign by Wisner and Somers achieved was to cover up this zone of discomfort and provide respectability to the process of inviting Modi to Washington.

[DAWN] KARACHI: Loose dress with trailing ends is a major contributor to road traffic injuries suffered by women pillion riders in the city, it emerged on Tuesday.
"Women suffered injuries in 74 per cent cases out of 986 clothing-related road traffic injuries recorded in three years. The risk analysis data shows that female pillion riders were 31 times likely to be involved in clothing-related cycle of violence injuries than male pillion riders. Further estimation shows that 97pc of clothing-related injuries in pillion riders could be attributed to females," said a study, Clothing-related cycle of violence injuries in Pakistain: findings from a surveillance study, published in the International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion.
It is the first surveillance-based study describing the patterns of clothing related injuries in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... .
The department of emergency medicine of the Aga Khan University Hospital, Aman Healthcare Services, Road Traffic Injury Research and Prevention Centre conducted the study in collaboration with Public Health Solutions Pakistain Private Limited, Lahore and Douglas Hospital Research Centre, Montreal, Canada.

[DAWN] Shahrukh Jatoi and three others convicted of killing young Shahzeb Khan must wait for at least a month to learn if they could be acquitted after being pardoned by the victim's family, as the Sindh High Court directed the trial court on Tuesday to verify the genuineness of a "compromise" reached between the two parties within three months.
A two-judge bench headed by Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar was seized with the appeals of Shahrukh Jatoi, his friend Nawab Siraj Ali Talpur and two others against their conviction by an anti-terrorism court in the Shahzeb murder case.
While their appeals were still pending disposal, the parents and two sisters of the victim had approached the SHC to seek their acquittal after pardoning them "in the name of Allah".
The four appellants also filed applications along with a proforma for effecting a compromise, which was duly signed by them and the victim's legal heirs.
Earlier on Monday, the court heard the applications and questioned as to whether the compromise might be effected in the convictions handed down by an ATC.

[An Nahar] A young Lebanese man killed his sister in the southern town of Bfarweh after discovering an SMS message in her telephone that indicates she had committed a "dishonorable act," the Internal Security Forces revealed on Monday.
"The Zifta police department (in the South) received an anonymous telephone call on June 28 reporting that S.A., 32, was found dead at her house in the Bfarweh area after she had been shot," the ISF announced in a released statement.
Following investigation, the ISF Intelligent Bureau managed to identify and arrest the suspect two hours after receiving the telephone call.
The statement revealed that the victim's 24-year-old brother Z.A. is the suspect.
"He claimed during the probe that the death of his sister happened by accident, but later confessed to killing her after reading a text message on her mobile phone that indicates she had committed a dishonorable act," the ISF detailed.
Investigation is ongoing under the supervision of the competent judicial authority, added the ISF statement.

Suzanne Chase of Acton was talking about her husband, Doug, a Vietnam veteran who was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2011.
In 2012, she tried to move his medical care to the Veterans Affairs hospital in Bedford.
"It was so difficult for him to take the ambulance ride into Boston, we wanted to be closer."
They waited about four months and never heard anything. Then Douglas Chase died in August 2012.
But two weeks ago, he got a letter, from the VA in Bedford, saying he could now call to make an appointment to see a primary care doctor.
"It was addressed to my husband and I opened it," said Suzanne Chase. "I was in complete disbelief."

Stuff happens. The problem is that when it happens in a giant bureaucracy there is seldom a way to get it fixed, especially when there are no alternative organizations to deal with.
So we are also giving the government bureaucracy jurisdiction over the health care of the other 95% of us, when what we should be doing is converting even this 5% to vouchers because it is already too big.
[Washington Examiner] Applications for insurance coverage through President Obama's health care law submitted in the final three months of 2013 contained millions of inconsistencies in which information such as income and immigration status could not be independently verified by the federal government, according to a June report from the inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services. Indeed difficult to determine immigration and citizenship when national sovereignty has been abolished and the borders are open to all.
The inconsistencies may have resulted in individuals receiving an improper amount of subsidies, or subsidies that they shouldn't have been eligible for in the first place something that could require them to repay the money in future tax bills. Good luck with that.
In other cases, inconsistencies led to bizarre outcomes. According to the report, "one marketplace cited situations in which infants and young children included on applications were erroneously identified as incarcerated." Perhaps "incarcerated" was simply an assumed future status.
At issue is the information that individuals are asked to submit when they apply for coverage, such as income, citizenship status, Social Security number, or incarceration status. In theory, once data are submitted, they are supposed to be checked in a massive storage database known as the "hub," which gathers data from multiple federal agencies. Huba, huba, huba, it's another colossal gov't cock-up.
