According to officials, João Bernardo Vieira, the president of Guinea-Bissau, was shot to death on Monday in his palace by renegade soldiers.
“President Vieira was killed by the army as he tried to flee his house which was being attacked by a group of soldiers close to the chief of staff Tagme Na Waie, early this morning,” Zamora Induta, a military spokesman, said to Agence France-Presse, insisting that “this was not a coup d’etat.”
“We reaffirmed our intention to respect the democratically elected power and the constitution of the republic,” he said. “The people who killed President Vieira have not been arrested, but we are pursuing them. They are an isolated group. The situation is under control.”
Induta also said that the president was “taken down by bullets fired by these soldiers,” and that afterwards they looted his home. “They were taking everything they could carry, his personal belongings, the furniture, everything,” Induta said.
The assassination is believed to be a revenge for a bomb blast that killed one of Vieira’s rivals, the army chief of staff General Batista Tagme Na Waie, just a few hours earlier.
The constitution says that the nation’s parliament chief, Raimundo Pereira, is to succeed Vieira in the case of his death.
Jean Ping, the chief executive of the African Union, said that the assassination of the president was a “criminal act”.
Guinea-Bissau, located on the western coast of Africa, has had a history of coups, and is one of the world’s poorest countries. It is notorious as being a transit point for the cocaine trade between Europe and South America.
João Bernardo Vieira, born in 1939, came to power in Guinea-Bissau during a coup in 1980, but was forced out in 1999 when a civil war started. In 2005, he returned from his exile in Portugal to participate in the nation’s elections, and won the vote.

James Brown, often referred to as the Godfather of Soul, died in Atlanta due to congestive heart failure, combined with pneumonia. His death at age 73 was announced by his agent. After his dentist noticed something unusual with him, Brown was told to visit a doctor immediately. He was taken into the hospital yesterday for treatment of his pneumonia until his death at around 1:45 AM (6:45 AM GMT). It is not known whether he received a pneumonia vaccination, as recommended for people of his age.
He was born in 1933 and grew up in poverty until he formed James Brown & The Famous Flames. His influence on 20th century music, from funk to hip hop was profound.
Before he died, he scheduled a New Year’s Eve concert series in New Jersey and New York that would help kick off a 2007 tour.

Fire Damage in Meridian ID can be dealt with by Ness LLC. The damage caused by a fire can vary considerably. If it’s just a small fire, most of the damage might be contained in one room. However, there may be smoke damage that extends beyond the damage the actual flames caused. The smoke from a fire is what can cause odor damage. This odor can cling to the walls and ceiling of a structure suffering from fire damage. The odor can also get on clothes and furniture. If the soot odor on your clothes isn’t too strong, you may be able to take the clothes to a dry cleaner to get them cleaned. But when dealing with an extremely strong odor of smoke, it’s best to have a company that specializes in fire damage use ozone gas to clean your clothing and/or furniture before you have it cleaned.
It’s important to realize that smoke rises. The fire damage services that you are dealing with may not be contained in just the lower levels of your home. The smoke from the fire may have risen to the attic. A quality service will check in your attic to make sure there aren’t any signs of soot present. The effects soot can have in an attic will be increased if the attic isn’t heavily ventilated. The smell may end up carrying over to the lower levels if it is allowed to linger in the attic.
Some contractors that don’t know much about Fire Damage in Meridian ID may try sealing over walls that are suffering from smoke damage. It seems like a good option to some people because it saves money. But applying a sealer over an odor may only mask the condition for a short period of time. The smell may come back. Also, when applying sealer or paint to a surface, you want the surface to be clean and dry so the sealer will stick. Click here for more details.
Since the residue that causes smoke odors is greasy, the sealer won’t properly stick to the surface. It’s best to have a contractor who is good at dealing with fire damage repair any damage before sealing or painting a wall. Get in touch with Ness LLC for more details.

U.S. Democratic Party presidential candidate John Wolfe, Jr. of Tennessee took some time to answer a few questions from Wikinews reporter William S. Saturn.
Wolfe, an attorney based out of Chattanooga, announced his intentions last year to challenge President Barack Obama in the Democratic Party presidential primaries. So far, he has appeared on the primary ballots in New Hampshire, Missouri, and Louisiana. In Louisiana, he had his strongest showing, winning 12 percent overall with over 15 percent in some congressional districts, qualifying him for Democratic National Convention delegates. However, because certain paperwork had not been filed, the party stripped Wolfe of the delegates. Wolfe says he will sue the party to receive them.
Wolfe will compete for additional delegates at the May 22 Arkansas primary and the May 29 Texas primary. He is the only challenger to Obama in Arkansas, where a May 10 Hendrix College poll of Democrats shows him with 38 percent support, just short of the 45 percent for Obama. Such an outing would top the margin of Texas prison inmate Keith Russell Judd, who finished 18 percent behind Obama with 41 percent in the West Virginia Democratic primary; the strongest showing yet against the incumbent president. Despite these prospects, the Democratic Party of Arkansas has already announced that if Wolfe wins any delegates in their primary, again, due to paperwork, the delegates will not be awarded. Wolfe will appear on the Texas ballot alongside Obama, activist Bob Ely, and historian Darcy Richardson, who ended his campaign last month.
Wolfe has previously run for U.S. Congress as the Democratic Party’s nominee. On his campaign website, he cites the influence “of the Pentagon, Wall Street, and corporations” on the Obama administration as a reason for his challenge, believing these negatively affect “loyal Americans, taxpayers and small businesses.” Wolfe calls for the usage of anti-trust laws to break up large banks, higher taxes on Wall Street, the creation of an “alternative federal reserve” to assist community banks, and the implementation of a single-payer health care system.
With Wikinews, Wolfe discusses his campaign, the presidency of Barack Obama, corporations, energy, the federal budget, immigration, and the nuclear situation in Iran among other issues.

United States swimmer Michael Phelps has been banned from competition and his training stipend revoked for three months by USA Swimming after Phelps was photographed smoking from a glass pipe, often used for smoking cannabis. The picture was published last Sunday by British tabloid News of the World.
USA Swimming, which is the governing body of swimming in the United States, however said that no “anti-doping” rules had been violated.
“This is not a situation where any anti-doping rule was violated, but we decided to send a strong message to Michael because he disappointed so many people, particularly the hundreds of thousands of USA Swimming member kids who look up to him as a role model and a hero,” it stated. “Michael has voluntarily accepted this reprimand and has committed to earn back our trust.”

The suspension will end in time for Phelps to train for the US Championships, which are to be held on the 7th of July.
Phelps has also lost sponsor Kellogg, who said that it would not renew its deal with the swimmer next month.
Phelps won a record eight gold medals at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing last year, and has since become one of the world’s most famous athletes.
Sunday, February 13, 2005Cordon-bleu chef Homaru Cantu has announced a technique which allows him to create dishes made of edible, inkjet printed paper. Cantu, a head chef at the Moto restaurant in Chicago, has modified an ink-jet printer with the help of computer specialists from local firm Deep Labs and loaded it with cartridges containing concoctions of fruit and vegetables. Using this modified printer Cantu then prints onto edible sheets of soybean and potato starch tasty images downloaded from the web.
“You can make an ink-jet printer do just about anything,” says Cantu. Once the items have been printed they are dipped into a powder made of soy sauce, sugar and vegetables before then being further processed by frying, freezing, or baking them.
Cantu has applied the technique to the printing of menus so that diners can further flavor their soups by ripping up the menu and adding it to the dish.
He hopes that his idea may find its way into popular media. “Just imagine going through a magazine and looking at an ad for pizza. You wonder what it tastes like, so you rip a page out and eat it,” says the chef who is working at perfecting the flavors and has applied for a patent on the technique.
Cantu also has plans for further culinary innovations. He plans to cook steak using a handheld laser that will sear the inside of the steak well done whilst leaving the outside medium rare. He also plans to use the laser to produce bread baked from the inside out thus producing a crust on the inside.
Dancers are vulnerable to sciatica because of the amount of concentration on turning out their legs. This often leads to piriformis syndrome. Dancers also move in a large range of movement at the spine, which end in undue stress on the spinal discs when alignment or body mechanics is poor. This could lead to herniated discs. Poor body mechanics, arthritis, and scoliosis can be factors in spinal stenosis which ends up in sciatic pain.Widespread Causes of Sciatica1) Piriformis syndrome2) Herniated disc3) Spinal stenosisPiriformis SyndromePiriformis syndrome is a situation where the piriformis muscle, the biggest of the 6 deep lateral rotators, irritates the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve typically passes underneath the piriformis muscle, however in about 15% of the population the nerve goes through the piriformis muscle increasing it’s potential for compression. When dancers overwork their turnout, their piriformis muscular tissues could also be excessively contracted and might press on the sciatic nerve. It is a functional syndrome. It isn’t simple to diagnosis by means of a MRI or CT scan.Signs include pain within the low back and buttocks, ache that can radiate down the back of the leg and troublesome, and uncomfortable sitting.Remedies include physical remedy which focuses on stretching and strengthening the rotator muscles at the hip, and ultrasound to the infected side to release and soften the piriformis muscle. Anti-Inflammatory treatment, (such as ibuprofen), is also administered to decrease irritation of the nerve. For more acute cases, a cortisone injection could also be suggested. Deep massage may assist to release the tension within the turnout muscle tissues as well as surrounding pelvis and hip muscles. After a lengthy period of unsuccessful conservative treatment, surgical release is the final resort.Herniated discSpinal discs are tender cushions of cartilage with a gel-like middle between the boney vertebrae of the spine. It is where the movement and flexibility of the spine is created. Discs often lose elasticity with age and develop into extra susceptible to injury. A herniated disc bulges out between the vertebrae where it compresses the spinal nerves. This causes ache in the lower back, usually traveling down the leg. A herniated disc is confirmed via a CT imaging scan or a MRI. It’s also commonly known as a slipped disc or bulging disc.You might be suffering from herniated disc if you have leg pains usually over the surface of the thigh and lower leg and foot. Typically shooting down the leg, felt like an electric shock. Different signs include persistent ache regardless of whether or not you might be standing or sitting, tingling or numbness down the leg and muscle weakness. The worst is that if bowel or bladder problems occur. This time see a physician as quickly as possible with these symptoms.Anti-Inflammatory medicine (such as ibuprofen) is given to decrease inflammation. Doctors could choose to do a steroid injection. Bodily remedy can be used to redevelop muscle steadiness and proper spinal alignment. If less invasive measures don’t help, surgical procedure is a last resort.Spinal stenosisStenosis means a narrowing of an opening. Sciatic ache can happen from lumbar (lower back) spinal stenosis, whereas numbness and problems in the arms can happen from cervical (neck) spinal stenosis. The area where the nerves come out from the spinal column can inflame and narrow. This creates strain and ache on the nerve. Older ones are most commonly affected on this type of nerve because of chronic poor body mechanics such as a swayback or tucking under, being obese, having arthritis and/or scoliosis.Signs include ache in the buttocks, thigh, and calf, weakness of one leg and pain that always will increase with motion and strolling, and decreases when sitting or lying down.Diagnostic checks such as x-rays and CT scans or MRI can be used to substantiate the diagnosis. Anti-inflammatory treatment along with physical therapy is prescribed for gentle cases. Surgery may be necessary to remove the stress from the nerve, if much less invasive measures are unsuccessful.Ideas for PreventionIn case you have sciatic signs and are a dance trainer, dont be so depressed. It’s a curable disorder. However, you need to adapt your educating style temporarily. Since teachers have unhealthy habits of showing a movement without being fully warmed up, it is necessary to pull back on demonstrating.Below are some steps that may assist:Stand simply in a turned out first place, Are your gluteal muscular tissues rock hard? It could be a sign of overworking the turnout and hip joint muscles. Periodically, sit on a chair with one leg crossed over the opposite thigh in an open position and lean forward. You will feel the stretch deep within the gluteal of the bent leg.Are you standing in a swayback? Then stretch out the hip flexors within the runners lunge. Usually the hamstrings, gluteal and turnout muscular tissues become overly contracted as they counter the pull of the hip flexors.Notice whats taking place on your feet. Pronation means your weight is not centered and your toes are rolling in – which then creates more muscular pressure within the turnout muscles.Give your turnout muscles a break! Stand with your feet turned in towards each other. Bend your knees then lean into one hip before switching to the opposite hip. It could look unusual, however is a fast reminder that the turnout muscles must be both strong and flexible.Be sure your weight is appropriate for your height and activity level. Extra weight can put strain on the lower back and discs.Are your hamstrings weak or tight? Pay attention to the muscle balance across the hip joint and address any apparent weak point and/or tightness.Relax for a few minutes on your back over a large physioball. This helps to decompress the spine.Get up straight without tension. When sitting and standing, don’t slump as it keeps the spine aligned and the discs and spinal cord happy!How you can Release RigidityTo release stubborn muscular stress, you may work with a pinkie ball. Begin by placing a small 2-2/15 inch rubber ball between the back of your pelvis and the wall. The farther your feet are from the wall the more weight you place on the ball and the deeper the pressure. To start out, roll on the ball from sacrum (base of the backbone). Then roll around the sides of the pelvis and right down to the sits bone. The piriformis and other turnout muscle tissues are in the midst of the buttocks and that area could also be tender. Work slowly and easily and comfortably to loosen the muscles. When you notice any nerve indicators, such as ache radiating down the leg, move away from that spot, or cease all together. 5 minutes before or after class can make a big distinction in reducing extra muscular rigidity!

Comply or Die, the racehorse who won the 2008 Grand National has died at the age of 17. His death was announced by his former trainer, David Pipe. He died over at the weekend in Gloucestershire, where he had been staying with jockey Timmy Murphy. He was cremated on Monday and his ashes will return to Murphy.
Murphy was the jockey in the saddle when Comply or Die won the 2008 Grand National. Speaking to the Press Association, he spoke about the horse’s death. He said, “He was part of the furniture at home so it’s very sad. He gave me the greatest day of my career, obviously that can never be taken away. He paraded at Cheltenham and Aintree and was getting ready to do some dressage in the summer. I’m not actually sure how he died, to be honest, but it wasn’t nice to come home to. He was cremated on Monday. He was a happy horse and he was also very clever.”
During his racing career he made £798,809 in prize-money after winning a total of eight races.
The 2008 Grand National victory was his greatest achievement and he almost matched it when he came second place in 2009. He retired in 2011 but remained active, often being paraded at race grounds such as Aintree and Cheltenham. He also participated in some hunting activities. Pipe said, “Since his retirement he had been a lead-horse at Timmy Murphy’s establishment before trying his hand at dressage, a discipline in which he had proven very successful”.
Tributes have been paid to Comply or Die on social media by horse racing fans with several tweeting their appreciation and memories.
