PRESS STATEMENT

All information PRESS STATEMENT.Disscuse about for Press Statement.Press Statement-We have received complaints from several Kenyans who sort to serve their country through gainful employment in the Kenya Defence Forces that there is massive corruption, including nepotism, in military recruitment exercises. Many citizens who successfully went through the rigorous quota-based recruitment in their home districts have arbitrarily been sent home from Recruits’ Training School on the whimsical decisions of senior military officers in questionable circumstances. Our specific attention has been drawn to the case of 14 discharged soldiers who had successfully been recruited to rejoin the armed forces Constabulary in 2009. They were contracted in writing and put on payroll, but one day, as they went about their duties, they were summoned by a senior military officer who verbally dismissed them. He issued them with gag orders that should they ever talk they would earn the wrath of the military. He then had them forcefully removed from the military base by an armed detail of the Military Police. There are allegations that the names of the 14 are still on payroll and somebody is earning their money. If that is true, then Kenya is in the unimaginable situation whereby we have ghost soldiers in the military. That is a major a security threat to the State that might only be removed by conducting a headcount of all serving soldiers. Some of the 14 sought and were successfully recruited again this year, only to be unceremoniously thrown out a second time. Among them was Senior Sergeant (Retired) Alpheus Ochieng Kajwang whose plight was highlighted in an exclusive report published on page 3 of the Saturday Nation of November 6, 2010. In view of the reports we have been getting, this story is just the tip of the iceberg of the rot in the military. It is unbelievable that a citizen who fulfils the stringent requirements to serve our forces, and is recruited through a rigorous exercise, can just be dismissed at the pretended discretion of senior military officers with no recourse to an appeal. There are also allegations that some of the young recruits to the core military formations are dismissed shortly before they graduate (pass out) and their positions dished out to relatives and friends of highly connected Kenyans who don’t go through the rigours of military training. If these allegations are true, then we have untested laymen masquerading as soldiers in the Kenya Defence Forces. And that too is a major security risk to the republic. Other than the security threats the ghost and masquerading soldiers pause to the country, those who are unfairly dismissed, especially the youngsters, have skills in the use of weapons that can be tapped by organized crime to heighten the levels of insecurity in the country. Since recruitments are quota-based for purposes of equity and national representation (see Article 241 (4) of the Constitution on the Establishment of Defence Forces and Defence Council), and the number of personnel required is predetermined by military needs, what criterion is followed to replace those who are dropped, given that no follow-up recruitment is carried out in the affected areas, yet the vacancies created are always filled? In such circumstances, and in the absence of contrary evidence, we are obliged to believe allegations that there is an intricate web of corruption through which such slots are sold to the highest bidder, or are taken over by relatives and friends of the well-connected. It is important that our military leaders take cognizance of the fact that Kenyans who offer to serve in the military don’t lose their civic and human rights under the law. Any discretions of the military command notwithstanding, the military are a creature of the law, they are not above the law, and they are not allowed to operate outside the law. Hence, any recruits who are irregularly dismissed must enjoy their full Constitutional rights, including the provision on Fair administrative action in Article 47, which categorically states that: (1) Every person has the right to administrative action that is expeditious, efficient, lawful, reasonable and procedurally fair. (2) If a right or fundamental freedom of a person has been or is likely to be adversely affected by administrative action, the person has the right to be given written reasons for the action. Kenyans will not condone impunity anymore! Therefore, we make the following demands: (i) That, with immediate effect, the military unconditionally readmits the affected 14 citizens and any others who have been unjustly dismissed on similar flimsy grounds, or it fully pays them for their un-served contractual term in lieu of readmission. Failure to which we will be forced to institute public interest court proceedings against the military in general and culpable individual officers for abuse of office. (ii) That the Parliamentary Select Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations thoroughly investigates the matter and recommends appropriate disciplinary action to be taken against culpable officers. Finally, we call upon His Excellency President Mwai Kibaki to institute radical military reforms that will go hand-in-hand with the reforms underway in other public institutions. Failure to reform the Kenya Defence Forces constitutes creating national insecurity. We propose that distinguished retired officers with demonstrated guts like General Daudi Tonje, and General Ken Opande should be tasked to urgently restructure and modernize the Kenya Defence Forces. We need to restructure both the colonial military architecture and doctrine still in vogue and streamline it with the requirements of the new Constitutional dispensation. Among others, the reforms should also address: (i) The need to establish a robust commission or tribunal to take care of the welfare of soldiers and their families; (ii) The need to handle the many grievances of former military personnel who allege that they were unfairly dismissed from military service during the dictatorial First Republic; (iii) The need to fence-in the discretion of senior military officers with clear checks and balances to safe guard the human rights of individual soldiers in the Second Republic; (iv) The establishment of a functioning and visible reserve force to keep tabs on discharged officers, and to utilise the many skills Kenyan taxpayers have invested in them. For example, the discharged soldiers can form an important component in disaster preparedness.

Lucky Strike Bowling

Tonight on Undercover Boss we find ourselves following Steven Foster, the kingpin of Lucky Strike Bowling, as he changes from a business suit to a uniform to learn what really happens outside the offices of this company. Steven is the President and CEO of Lucky Strike Bowling, one of the nation’s largest chains of upscale bowling alleys. Tonight he will take an emotional journey inside his own corporation as he finds himself working as the company mascot.

Posing as an out of work business owner, he trades in his conference calls to work on the front line while he discovers the unsung hero’s that make his business work. With 18 locations across America and Canada, Lucky Strike Bowling is more like a lounge than a bowling alley. These upscale alleys are well known and frequented by many celebrities. Having recently lost his Mother, Steven is still emotional with her passing. He meditates twice a day to relax and de-stress himself and has not missed a meditation on 41 years.

Willow Palin

"Sarah Palin's Alaska," an eight-week series sort-of chronicling the life of former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her family, premiered Sunday night (Nov. 14) on TLC. What did you think?
First off, we don't think the show is a actually a real depiction of the Palins' life in any given summer in Alaska. Do they really jet around fishing for salmon and hiking Mt. McKinley like the rest of us might go to the pool or see a movie? Maybe they do -- but we are skeptical.
Compare this to the other latest TLC hit "Sister Wives" -- we believe that the five-week showcase on that program really did show a typical few months in the lives of Kody Brown and his brood. "Alaska," by contrast, seemed a little forced.
Secondly, we could've done without the few random pointed political comments, like using the Palins' erection of a high fence in their backyard (to keep out a neighbor who moved next door to write a book about them) to make a comment about our nation's borders. Again -- that was awkward and forced.
Third, the constant "come to beeeeyoootilful Alaskahhhhh" schtick was annoying. We get that Alaska is an amazing state, but the Palin family could've gone on all their nature adventures and just let the state speak for itself. The show did not need to seem like one long commercial for the state's tourism.
All that other stuff aside, we do think it's interesting to see the moments that are just Sarah and her family being themselves. Imagine for a second that Palin had never risen to any political prominance and was just this pretty Alaska lady going on nature adventures with her hsuband and kids? It's kind of delightful. She seems like a nice lady, she loves her family and the scenery is beautiful.
And we will give Palin credit -- she doesn't seem to take herself too seriously. She actually says that entering the political stage as she did has opened her up to mockery and that's just the way it is. It's nice to see her just accept that and roll with it.
Perhaps that's the entire hidden agenda -- make Sarah Palin even more appealing than she already was so that she can run for something in 2012. We don't know. But we will be here every week with you as we all experience "Sarah Palin's Alaska."
Thoughts & Tidbits
The accent is cracking us up. It's a little annoying, but mostly it's just hilarious.
Where has Willow Palin been hiding? Forget Bristol -- Willow Palin is a cutie. Mom should have her everywhere in 2012 if she's running for office.
The Palins have a TV studio-esque set up in a building near their house so Sarah can do satellite TV appearances. We can't decide if that's just too weird or kind of awesome.
Who wants to hang out with Sarah's mom and dad Sally and Chuck? We do. More Sally and Chuck, please. Maybe they could have a spin-off -- "Chuck and Sally's Bucket List" coming to TLC in 2011.

While we have lived separately for the past several months, we remain firmly committed to raising our children in the most positive, nurturing way possible. I want only good things for all going forward; right now, I’m focused on ensuring that our children understand how much they’re loved and adored by us as they continue to adjust to these changes. I would ask that their privacy, and ours as a family, be respected as we move forward. This will be my only statement on this.”

Wow. There really must have been some issues in their marriage if they couldn’t bond and be together to welcome their new child.

Wisconsin Unemployment

A long time ago, but not in a galaxy far, far away, I recall dreading taking home that first-quarter report card from school.

I wasn’t the best student, but wasn’t the worst either. What made getting not-so-spectacular grades even more difficult was I had to have a parent sign my report card before turning it back in to my teacher, which guaranteed they would see it.

I recall having my mom sign report cards more frequently than my dad because she didn’t yell quite as loud.

Fortunately, the older I got, my school performance improved and by the time I was in my fourth year of college, if I received any grade lower than a B+, I would be disappointed in myself. At that stage in my academic life, I had no worries about my parents viewing my report cards even before I saw them. After all, who’s going to complain when six courses are marked with either an A or A-?

The government also prefers pointing to the good in economic data.

The state last week released the September unemployment numbers for Wisconsin’s primary metropolitan areas. All 12 regions showed a drop in unemployment.

The state’s overall jobless rate for September was 7.8 percent, down from 8.8 percent a year ago. That’s great news. The state credited an improving economy to the drop in unemployment.

However, a look at the seasonally adjusted numbers shows the state’s current work force at 3,031,000, that’s down 27,900 people from the 3,058,900 in September 2009. The data also reveals in September, 2,795,500 of our current work force is employed, that’s about 4,300 more than were employed a year ago.

Economists I contacted were puzzled by the state’s positive outlook.

“I’m not sure what the Department of Workforce Development is so excited about,” said Brian Jacobsen, an analyst with Wells Fargo Advantage Funds and an associate professor of economics for Wisconsin Lutheran College. “The labor force has shrunk by 27,900 people from a year ago … Employment has only increased by 4,300. This is not the time to be cheerleading.”

Scott Niederjohn, associate professor of economics at Lakeland College, said the economy needs a jump-start.



“Removing the uncertainty would be a good first step,” he said. “A decision by Congress on the Bush tax cuts would help.”

President Barack Obama and his administration are pondering whether to break apart the tax cuts. The plan calls for a permanent extension of cuts for families earning less than $250,000 a year, and a temporary extension of cuts on income above that.

Republican leaders have pushed to extend the Bush tax cuts, which expire in December, for all income brackets, while the president says the country cannot afford to keep tax breaks on income over $250,000 a year for families, or $200,000 for individuals.

Jacobsen said something must to be done to spark job creation.

He suggests, at the state level, elimination of corporate income taxes could be an effective lure to draw new business into Wisconsin.

Until something is done, Niederjohn is uncertain things will improve, particularly in the near term.

“I expect little or no change,” he said. “There is too much uncertainty in the private sector due to tax and health care policy to see major gains in private sector employment … Further, firms have learned to become more productive using less workers to do the same job.”

The Bureau of Economic Analysis, an arm of the Department of Commerce, last week reported the nation’s economy grew at an annual rate of 2 percent in the July-to-September quarter. That’s a slight increase from 1.7 percent rate logged during the April-to-June quarter.

The government credited increased consumer, business and government spending to the slight increase. Keep in mind the number is an early estimate, so it still can go up or down when the revised official and final third-quarter number is released Dec. 22.

I’ve always been an optimist when it comes to writing about the economy. There have been some good things happening around the region in terms of hiring and expansion news, though we could use more.

In conversations I’ve had with business professionals, I sense their mood is more positive than it was a year ago.

A majority of people I’ve spoken to seem to accept the road to better times will be long and slow. As long as everyone can remain patient and just keep moving forward, in the end, we will be fine.

I am rooting for none other than the Pacman himself – how could I not support a fellow Filipino?

Okay so just by looking at the numbers – it looks like Margarito has an advantage over the Pinoy boxer, but those are just the numbers. We all know what kind of boxer Manny is – and his fists of speed undoubtedly will be unstoppable. Sorry Margarito, it’s going to be Pacquiao for the win.

Alejandra Nash

It’s not enough for a starting five, but would certainly be fine for a three-on-three tournament.

Two-time National Basketball Association MVP Steve Nash of Victoria, point guard for the Phoenix Suns, added a son to his family yesterday.



Nash’s wife, Alejandra, gave birth to Matteo Joel Nash, weighing seven pounds and seven ounces. After the birth, the St. Michaels University School grad Nash played in the Suns’ home game against the Sacramento Kings.

Steve and Alejandra Nash also have five-year-old twin daughters, Bella and Lola.

The family is trans-national with all three children born in the United States. Nash, the former Canadian Olympic team hoops captain, was born in Johannesburg, South Africa and raised in Victoria, while Alejandra is from Paraguay. The Nashes reside in Phoenix during the season and New York during the off-season.

Barefoot Bandit

Before Colton Harris-Moore became famous as an international fugitive, before he attracted more than 100,000 fans on Facebook and before he stole a single airplane, he was one very unpopular teenager back in his hometown of Camano Island, Wash.

“Colton Harris Moore is nothing but a thief, a criminal,” Camano resident Josh Flickner says. “He’s not Robin Hood. He’s not Jesse James. He’s not James Bond.”

Colton’s crime spree on this tranquil island began when he was just 10 years old. He soon advanced to breaking into homes, using stolen credit cards and stealing boats. Now, at age 19, he has a $10,000 price tag on his head and a bounty hunter on his trail.

This past summer, residents of Camano Island reached a breaking point and gathered to discuss rumors that were frightening everyone.

“We want him stopped,” says a man at the gathering. “Most of us what him dead, period.”

A crowd roars, “No,” in response.

How did it come to this? Why would anyone want to kill this troubled teenager?

“I mean, he is a criminal,” says Ashley Martin, who grew up with Colton on Camano Island. “But at the same time, there really is a little part of me that just really feels bad for him because I’ve known him, you know, almost my whole life.”

Martin remembers Colton as “a very sweet little kid.”

Classmate Jessica Wesson remembers a little boy who always loved animals and airplanes.

“He was really smart, very into airplanes. He had a Boeing book of all the planes that they actually made,” she tells “48 Hours Mystery” correspondent Peter Van Sant.

“And did he tell you what he wanted to do for a living when he grew up?”

“He mentioned that he wanted to be a pilot,” she replies. “When we heard he was stealing planes, I was like, well, that kinda makes sense.”

Wesson says she never went to Colton’s house. Maybe he didn’t want her to see the dilapidated trailer where he grew up with his mother, Pam Kohler.

“Why do you think Colton went from being this sweet kid that you knew when you first met him into a criminal?” Van Sant asks.

“Probably his upbringing,” Wesson replies. “I hear his mom wasn’t so nice…”

“48 Hours” Investigator Paul Ciolino uncovered court records that showed a dozen calls to child protective services by the time Colton was just 14.

“The issue here with Colton is not so much what he did, but who created this kid,” Ciolino explains. “There was physical abuse. There was mental abuse. There was physical neglect.”

Author Bob Friel is writing a book about Colton’s life called “The Barefoot Bandit: The True Tale of Colton Harris-Moore, New American Outlaw.”



“I was having nightmares when I began to research his childhood… I would literally wake up in a sweat thinking about some things… Colt went through,” Friel says. “His biological father was in and out of that trailer home that Pam was in.”

Colton’s father, Gordon Moore, has been mostly absent from his life. But when Colton was 12, Gordon was convicted of assault for choking the boy. Colton told a child services caseworker that his mother, Pam, was outraged – at him – for calling 911.

Colton had nowhere to turn. As one case worker wrote, “Colton wants mom to stop drinking and get a job and have food in the house, mom refuses.”

“Pam chose beer over everything… It ruined his life,” says Jacquie Staggs, who has known Pam since Colton was born.

Asked how Colton got his name, she says, “If you ask Pam, she’ll tell you she named him after the beer.”

“You’re telling me that Pam named her son after Colt 45? The malt liquor?” Van Sant asks.

“Uh-huh. That’s what she told me.”

“48 Hours” wanted to try and meet Colton’s mother. Investigator Paul Ciolino and Producer Sarah Prior joined Van Sant on a walk up the dirt driveway to find some answers.

“That’s her house. Sarah, if she calls out, why don’t you say that you’re the one who left the note,” instructs Van Sant.

A homemade sign out front shows Pam does not like visitors. It reads: NOTICE IF YOU GO PAST THIS SIGN YOU WILL BE SHOT.

Peter Van Sant: Hello, Pam?

Pam Kohler: Who are you?

Sarah Prior: Hi, I’m Sarah. I left you a note the other day from CBS…

Pam: I’m getting my shotgun right now.

Sarah: We just wanna talk to you, Pam. Can you just talk to us for a moment?

Pam: I’m getting my shotgun now. Get out of here!

Later, Pam changed her mind. Off camera, she told “48 Hours” she’s always been a good mother to Colton. She also showed us a collage he made when he was 15, filled with images of things Colton might say he was missing in life: money, food and, of course, airplanes.

“When Colton Harris-Moore would break into a vacation home… he would use the shower. He would wash his clothes and he would sleep on the bed or sleep on the couch,” Friel says. “…He was not the traditional kid breaking in to steal booze and damage a house.”

But along the way, Colton did more than more just grab a snack and a shower. He stole laptops, iPods, cell phones and jewelry.

Real Housewife's Former Fiance Was Brutally Murdered

On The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kim Richards sometimes seems like the saddest of the bunch. She fights with her sister Kyle, has had trouble finding a new home and admits she feels awkward and lonely since her divorce.

But the reality-TV drama is nothing compared the pain of her past.

Nineteen years ago, Richards was engaged to commodities salesman John J. Collett, then 29, of Agoura Hills, Calif. After following her career in films like Disney's Escape from Witch Mountain, he met his movie star crush and they dated for several months before they began to discuss their dream wedding.

"She loved him and he loved her and it was like a fairy tale," his sister Nina Stormo, 35, tells PEOPLE. "They seemed really happy."
Murder-for-Hire

But in October of 1991, Collett was gunned down by a hit man outside a San Fernando Valley deli in what may have been a business scheme gone horribly wrong. Richards had to identify the body.

"It just tore her apart emotionally and she was not in good shape for a long time," Collett's mother Jan Collett tells PEOPLE. "She really loved John. They were a good match."

Marva DeCarlo Johnson, 31, was sentenced in June of 1993 to 30-years-to-life after he was found guilty of murder. Prosecutors presented evidence that it was a paid hit, but did not present evidence of who bankrolled it or why.

Before his death, Collett had worked for a commodities firm that allegedly defrauded investors for millions. He became one of six defendants in a civil suit filed by California regulators.

Katy Perry: I'd Rather 'Tease' Than Pose Nude

Katy Perry isn't shy about showing some skin – just don't expect her to bare all.

"I like to play [the sexy] card because it's fun and definitely in my deck, but I like to tease," Perry says in the December issue of British Cosmopolitan. "I'm like a burlesque girl. I definitely won't be doing a Playboy spread, but I will be doing a kind of Dita Von Teese style."

Being married to Russell Brand is what, Perry says, makes her feel unconditionally sexy.

"I'm confident in my skin I guess, lately," she explains. "I think that when you're in a supportive relationship, you don't care anymore about outside. Things that may have irked you before don't matter because you found someone who loves you no matter what."

Adds Perry, "I guess it's a mixture of, 'Hey, I'm 26, and I know these are my prime years and I feel confident,' and being loved-up."

Lady Gaga Dominates MTV Europe Music Awards

Lady Gaga won three prizes at this year's MTV Europe Music Awards on Sunday, claiming Best Female, Song, and Pop honors, just a year after taking the plaudits for best new act.

The ceremony converted two of the Spanish capital's most iconic landmarks into glittering venues from which to present its 2010 honors.

Tens of thousands of music fans crowded downtown Puerta de Alcala and Caja Magica to hear 14 separate performers, including acts by Jared Leto and Shakira.

Lady Gaga beamed her acceptance speech from Budapest, Hungary, where she was on tour. She interrupted a live act in the Hungarian capital to convey by video link her delight at the crop of awards which just kept on coming and spotlighted her song "Bad Romance" as the year's best.

Best New Act went to KE$HA, while the 16-year-old Justin Bieber won the Best Male Artist award, Paramore the Best Alternative act, and Eminem got the Best Hip Hop award.

The new MTV Global Icon award went to Jon Bon Jovi, who thrilled fans with a live performance of "Shot through the heart" and "You're to blame" at the spectacularly decorated, year-old Caja Magica venue, sometimes used for sports events.

At the center of the Caja Magica hall a brilliantly illuminated hollow cube acted as a focal point for indoor acts while the Puerta de Alcala - once the location of the eastern entrance in the long disappeared city wall - provided an outdoor flavor to the show.

Katy Perry got Best Video for "California Gurls" and raised a cheer when she collected the award wearing an ornate, dark outfit.

Presenter Eva Longoria also regaled viewers with a dazzling array of elegant dresses and at one point had the audience in fits of laughter by saying she had discovered her long-lost Spanish relatives in Madrid. She then introduced four statuesque and muscular young men dressed only in underpants bearing the letters "Longoria" at the back. "That's my family, which I'm going to introduce to the girls backstage," she said.

Christina Aguilera Spotted On Double Date

Christina Aguilera went on a double date Saturday night with a male friend.

According to the Daily Mail, Aguilera enjoyed dinner with Matthew D. Rutler, a set assistant on her new movie 'Burlesque,' in which she co-stars with Cher.

Aguilera and Rutler dined at Hollywood's SoHo House with Nicole Richie and her fiance Joel Madden.

As they left the restaurant, Rutler reportedly hid under a blanket in the back seat of Aguilera's car, which was driven by Madden.

Aguilera filed for divorce from husband Jordan Bratman in October, and admitted in a recent interview that she sometimes struggles to get out of bed.

Jill Clayburgh's Costar Jake Gyllenhaal

In one of her final roles, Jill Clayburgh plays the mom of charismatic Viagra salesman Jamie Reidy (Jake Gyllenhaal) in the romantic comedy "Love and Other Drugs."

Gyllenhaal and the film's director Edward Zwick said they had no idea the Oscar-nominated screen legend was battling chronic lymphocytic leukemia at the time. They learned of it after their work together.

"I think part of her sickness is what made her live her life ... and really cherish the moments she had and cherish the people she was with," said Gyllenhaal while promoting the film in New York on Sunday. "And she did when she was with us, cherish those moments, and they made us all love her."

Gyllenhaal filmed with Clayburgh in September of 2009.

Clayburgh, 66, died Friday at her home in Lakeville, Conn., after a 21-year battle with the disease.

Gyllenhaal credits Clayburgh's iconic portrayal of a divorcee in 1978's "An Unmarried Woman" with helping his own mother through divorce.

"It helped her through that time in a way that no other movie or anybody else had," he said.

"She left an indelible impression on me," he said. "You don't really need much time to work or meet somebody and know that they're really alive ... and when I heard that (she was sick) I just thought, you know there's that moment when you go like 'oh, like maybe that might be why she was so extraordinary.' And it makes me want to encourage people to wake up and live it like Jill did."

Michele Bachmann

Rep. Michele Bachmann's (R-Minn.) leadership aspirations appeared to have cold water thrown on them Monday when news broke that she had been passed over for a spot on the GOP's post-election transition team. To compound the matter, Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas,) her primary competition for the desirable conference chair position, was brought on to the crew.

Jordan Fabian of The Hill tweeted Monday:

Rep. Jeb Hensarling named a member of the House GOP transition team, Rep. Michele Bachmann is not.
It's just the latest wrinkle in a GOP leadership dispute that has pitted establishment Republicans against the new wave of conservative energy.

Bachmann announced last week that she would be throwing her name in the hat for the title of GOP Conference Chair, which is soon to be the party's fourth most powerful post.

It didn't take long for some of the most powerful Republicans, including top officials such as likely House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (Va.) and Mike Pence, who had earlier retired his title as Conference Chair, to unite behind Bachmann's rival, Hensarling.

With this latest public and repressive snub of one of the House's most outspoken symbols of fresh, anti-establishment, Tea Party influence, this is either a sign of a potentially divisive and growing rift between two schools of conservative power, or at the least, a blow that will necessitate some mending to keep the relationship between various ranks of Republicans and their constituents from scarring too deeply.

Natalia Vodianova Aims To Be Model Mother

Natalia Vodianova, who dismissed rumours that her marriage was nearing its end as "rubbish", now wants to have more children with her husband, the property heir Justin Portman. "I want to have at least two more babies," the Russian model told Mandrake.

Vodianova, 28, already has three children with her husband, the half-brother of Viscount Portman. "The most important thing to me is being a mother," she told me. "Growing up, I never knew I was going to be famous, but I always knew I would be a good mother."

Jo Wood wobbles on artful exposure
Jo Wood does not seem to be the body conscious type but, it seems, sitting bare-bottomed for an artist can strike fear into the heart of the most intrepid of women. Posing for Alice Instone, in a stance that left little of her derrière to the imagination, the former Strictly Come Dancing contestant tells me she gave strict instructions.

"I told her to paint my bum really small," she said at the exhibition of The House of Fallen Women, in which the painting of Wood, posing as Louis XV's maîtresse-en-titre, Madame de Pompadour, was displayed.

Instone, 35, whose exhibition at Quintessentially Soho in London, showed modern women depicting infamous characters from history, said Wood's concern was a common theme among sitters, who included Cherie Blair, Annie Lennox and Emilia Fox.

"None of the celebrities wanted me to paint what they referred to as their 'wobbly bits'," she said.
Sue Perkins issues Daybreak a low blow

The disappointing viewing figures of ITV's Daybreak may be no laughing matter for hosts Christine Bleakley and Adrian Chiles, but it has provided endless fodder for comics.

Addressing an audience at the Stonewall Awards, an event celebrating those who have had a positive influence on the lives of homosexual people, Sue Perkins, who hosted the evening at the V&A in London, could not help but have a jibe at the floundering ratings of the breakfast television programme.

"Recently, 4 Poofs and a Piano disgraced themselves by appearing on Daybreak," the 41-year-old comedienne said of the "recent tough times" faced by homosexuals.
She added: "I suppose the consolation is that nobody will have seen it."
Ouch.

Free Wifi Across UK

In order to use the service, people will have to do so through Skype Access, the company’s internet feature, and ensure that they are in a wifi hotspot and have the latest version of Skype for Mac or Windows.

Internet Week Europe will last five days, during which more than 100 events, celebrating internet organisations and the technology scene across the continent, will happen in and around London.

Technology giants such as Google and Yahoo! are hosting several events and organisations like the BBC are also getting involved. BBC Worldwide, the commercial arm of the Corporation, announced this morning that it has made its two most popular iPhone apps, Lonely Planet and the BBC Good Food Health Recipes app, usually both £1.79 each, free of charge for the week.

This is the first time Europe has ever laid on an ‘Internet Week’, with the concept having begun in the US two years ago. The aim of the five-day festival is to raise the profile of Europe’s digital industry.

Last week, the Prime Minister, David Cameron, laid out plans for London’s East End to become a centre of technological innovation to rival Silicon Valley. He also announced a new via for entrepreneurs who are prepared to invest in the UK.
Additionally Google, Facebook, Intel and consultants McKinsey & Co committed to investing in the long-term future of the area growing out of London’s Old Street and Shoreditch that is already becoming known as Silicon Roundabout.

King Carl Gustaf Sex Scandal

Five months ago, the Swedish royal family was the toast of Europe. All eyes were trained on Stockholm as the glamorous Crown Princess Victoria wed her long-time boyfriend in a fairy-tale ceremony, and the world's press clamoured for a glimpse of the elegant Swedish royals and their regal guests.
Now the international media is again camped outside the gates of Stockholm's Drottningholm Palace – but this time for far less congratulatory reason.

Revelations last week that the King of Sweden once enjoyed romps in seedy nightclubs owned by shadowy underworld figures have eclipsed the sparkle of July's wedding. King Carl XVI Gustaf, the stern-looking, bespectacled monarch who is honorary chairman of the World Scout Foundation, has found himself thrust uncomfortably in the spotlight following the publication of an unflinching book, Carl XVI Gustaf – Den motvillige monarken (Carl XVI Gustaf – The reluctant monarch) which catalogues his past predilection for wild, alcohol-fuelled orgies and naked jacuzzi parties with models.
The book has caused uproar and dominated the country's media, leading to nationwide soul-searching about the 64-year-old King's role, reputation and right to privacy.
"Strip clubs, illegal clubs, rented ladies who are naked under their fur coats. Women were simply desserts, used as sweets to be served with the coffee," wrote Katrine Kielos in the daily Aftonbladet newspaper.
"The royal family has always been viewed as an august, fabulous family. But these allegations are so grave that our trust in them is seriously damaged," said Jenny Madestam, a political analyst. "The King is not even denying it."
Indeed, the King's bizarre press conference on Thursday – held in a forest after an elk hunt – only served to fan the flames of interest.
"I have spoken with my family and the Queen and we choose to turn the page and move forward because, as I understand, these are things that happened a long time ago," he said – standing in a field, still dressed in his wax jacket and hunting clothes, among a sea of camera crews and reporters.
His handling of the book's publication has shocked some observers.
"Now is the time for the King to be quiet and give no comments. Instead, he says yes to a press conference in the middle of the forest where anything can happen. It is like playing Russian roulette," said Paul Ronge, a PR expert, in the Svenska Dagbladet newspaper.
"His statement can be interpreted as a confession. It is beneath his dignity to even comment a gossip book about his private life. Now the plug is gone and the papers can print page after page with material from the book.
"For the royal court to handle the issue like kindergarten behaviour, without responsibility is very serious".
Indeed, the allegations that the king frequented Mafia-run clubs and used the state police to hide the evidence are extremely serious.
The book's authors, Thomas Sjöberg, Tove Meyer and Deanne Rauscher, spent two years unpicking the complicated story behind the throne.
"He was only 27 when he took office, in the midst of his bachelor years, with girls, booze and 'the lads'," they wrote.
"Then he suddenly became king, and had to promise the people to be a loving father. It was a totally unreasonable promise that he stood and gave in the state room."
Mr Sjöberg, a leading interviewer and investigative journalist, originally decided to look into the rumours of a dark private life that had long been muttered in Swedish society – enlisting the help of researcher Tove Meyer and former social worker Deanne Rauscher.
Together they set about lifting the veil of secrecy that hung over the palace.
"That was what I originally wanted to find out: how could such a young king handle a role he has not been allowed to grow into?" said Mr Sjöberg.
It was Ms Rauscher who interviewed many of the women who had been involved with the King.
From her two-bedroom antique-filled flat in Stockholm's upmarket Östermalm area, Ms Rauscher pieced together the testimonies of the women who had partied with the playboy monarch - including Camilla Henemark, a Swedish-Nigerian pop singer and model who had a year-long affair with the King in the late 1990s.
The authors write that the King "had fallen in love like a teenager" and that the Queen, his wife since 1976, knew about the affair but was powerless to stop it.
In an interview before her relationship with the King was known, Ms Henemark spoke of her spiral into depression around the end of the affair.
"It had been a party all the time and lots of champagne and money," she said.
When her modelling and pop career faded, she said: "I became distant and drank constantly. I sank deeper and deeper into depression and hated the world.
"I was thinking about suicide."
Last week Mr Sjöberg and Ms Rauscher took to a houseboat, sheltering one of the women who revealed details of her trysts with the King.
"It has been very stressful," Ms Rauscher told The Sunday Telegraph.
The authors also uncovered evidence of how a Serbian gangster, Mille Markovic, hosted parties for the King and his friends at an underground club in Stockholm, below the National Police Department.
Mr Markovic described how the club had a jacuzzi inside, and the girls invited to the parties "threw off their clothes and sat in the men's laps".
In the evenings the women were assigned their rooms. "It was not formally mandatory, but there were name signs on the doors showing who was going to sleep with whom", said one of the women.
Mr Markovic told a Swedish newspaper yesterday: "I've got live evidence. The entire world will see. This is no fake but real facts. I can prove every single thing."
But perhaps one of the most intriguing elements of the scandal, for those outside the Scandanavian country, is how the Swedish population have reacted.
Over 80 per cent say that the lurid allegations have not changed their perception of the King – and almost 50 per cent say that it is wrong for journalists to look into the private lives of their royal family.
Upon hearing about the book, producers an investigative news programme met with the authors - only to decide that they weren't interested in investigating the royal family.
Thomas Sjöberg, the book's author, admits that the royal family are seen as being above criticism.
"If it would have been the PM, he would be forced to resign the following day," he said.
"There would be a public outcry, severe political consequences for Sweden, political chaos and a constitutional crisis."
But despite the media whirlwind, Swedes seem very relaxed about their head of state's behaviour.
"All the negative PR experts commenting on the King's meeting with the press are totally wrong," said Brita Svensson, a royal correspondent.
"It was no fiasco, no disaster, not unprofessional nor a huge embarrassment. It was completely brilliant. Carl XVI Gustaf was himself.
"The King is ruling. Half of all Swedes say they have very good or good faith in the King. That is a sensational result for a 'Reluctant Monarch'."
