Charlie Sheen: On the Record
The "Two and a Half Men" star issues a statement to ET. CHARLIE SHEEN is coming to ET to set the record straight about recent reports that his custody case has been settled with ex-wife, DENISE RICHARDS. "A published report last week detailing the outcome of our proposed custody settlement couldn't be further from the truth. The idea that we would agree to the exact provisions we've fought so hard to overcome is absurd. Once again, this derisive fiction recklessly provided by an 'inside source' is as transparent and baseless as the entire case against us." Lawyers for Sheen and Richards are due back in a Los Angeles courtroom Wednesday as they continue working out a custody agreement. .
Wilkes has wily new residents
But that fear has a new twist in the Highwood area of outer Northeast Portland's Wilkes neighborhood, where the new neighbors are neither friendly nor particularly well-groomed. In fact – and at the risk of being rude – they live like animals. "They're very brazen," Ross Monn says. "They walk down the middle of the street in broad daylight. … People find them in their front yards all the time. … People sitting in their hot tubs will have them walk right by." Nor do they mind their own business. "I go out at night and turn out the light, and I see these two bright green eyes staring at me," adds Monn, who is chairman of the Wilkes Community Group. The intruders, a pack of coyotes that moved in during August, have sparked fears from residents, mainly for people's pets.
Statement from Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals, Inc.: AP Article Nothing But ...
NORCROSS, Ga., Nov. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- The following statement is being issued by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. An Associated Press article, "Herbal Sex Pills Pose Hidden Dangers," released November 12, 2007, which was reprinted in media outlets nationwide, continues to repeat baseless government allegations against Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Jared Wheat. The article repeats government allegations that Jared Wheat "peddled knockoff pharmaceuticals cooked in a Central American lab" and other knowingly false allegations. From the beginning, the government has chosen to try this case in the media, instead of in a court of law. Fox News anchor Greta van Susteren routinely says, "When you have a case, you take it to the judge and jury ... When you don't have a case, you take it to the media." This is clearly what is happening in this case in Federal Court in Atlanta.
Francine Nijimbere: "My husband cut off my arms for having a girl"
She is now living in fear following her husband's release and has sought refuge with ADDF, an association based in Bujumbura, dealing with the protection of women's rights. She spoke to IRIN on 22 February:
"In December [2007], the president announced a pardon for all inmates suffering from incurable diseases. I hear my husband was released on a false name; how can a criminal like him be pardoned? The head of state pardoned inmates suffering from incurable diseases but my husband was not ill.
"I was married to his elder brother, who was a soldier. He died in 2000 five months after our wedding. However, I remained in the house as I waited for the end of the mourning period in order to return to my parents' home. My mother-in-law insisted I should not go to my parents since dowry had been paid.
