New startup wants to create a biofuel from, basically, whiskey ( whiskey to fuel car )
You may not be able to drink and drive, but pretty soon your
car will be able to. That's the goal of a new project based—where else—in Scotland that is using some next-level alchemy for a new take on the lead-into-gold cliché: turning golden whiskey into unleaded fuel.

Dying Chicago woman weds partner in first Illinois gay marriage
CHICAGO (Reuters) - A Chicago woman who is dying of cancer wed her partner on Wednesday in the first legal gay marriage to be celebrated in Illinois, six months before the state's law recognizing gay unions takes effect.
The cancer patient, Vernita Gray, 64, and Patricia Ewert, 65, were wed in a private ceremony in their Chicago home two days after they were granted an emergency marriage license in federal court, according to Lambda Legal, a legal group that advocates for gay rights.
Illinois' gay marriage law, signed by Gov. Pat Quinn last week, does not take effect until June 1, 2014. The couple had sued, arguing the delay discriminated against them by preventing the couple from marrying before Gray's death.
"I'm so excited for us and for the community, for today is a beginning. One so richly deserved," said Gray in a statement.
Illinois last week became the 16th state to recognize same-sex marriages. That was the latest in a series of gay rights victories, as Hawaii earlier in the month approved gay marriages and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie in October dropped his appeal of a court ruling that legalized same-sex nuptials.

Babu Seya, mwanae kufia jela, rufaa yagonga mwamba
JANA Rufaa ya wanamuziki wawili Nguza Viking ‘Babu Seya’ na mwanae Papii Nguza iligonga mwamba baada ya rufaa hiyo kutupiliwa mbali kwa kuoenekana hakuna sababu ya kurudia kesi hiyo
Kufuatia maamuzi hayo yaliyotolewa na Mahakama ya Rufani Tanzania, imedhihirisha wanamuziki hao watafia jela baada ya juhudi za kujinasua kugonga mwamba.
Mara baada ya maamuzi hayo kutolewa na mahakama hiyo, vilio ,huzuni vilitawala kwa ndugu, jamaa na marafiki wa wanamuziki hao
Umati wa watu ulifurika jana katika viunga vya mahakama hiyo kufuatialia mapitio ya rufaa hiyo na iliyokuwa ikiendeshwa na majaji watatu wa mahakama hiyo ambapo waliongozwa na Mwenyekiti wao Nathalia Kimaro, Mbarouk Mbarouk na Salum Massati
Hivyo mara baada ya mapitio hayo mahakama ilitamka maombi ya Babu Seya na mwanae yalitupiliwa mbali na kusema wataendelea na kifungo hicho kwakuwa hukumu yake ya awali ilikuwa sahihi.
Wamesema hoja zilizotolewa na wanamuziki hao hazina nguvu na wameonekana bado wana hatia ya makosa yao matano kati ya makosa 23 yaliyokuwa yakiwakabili likiwemo la kulawiti wanafunzi wa shule ya msingi.
Kulingana na sheria zinavyosema hatua ya jana ya kugonga mwamba kwa rufaa hiyo ni ya mwisho kabisa hakuna jinsi ya wanamuziki hao kuachiwa huru
Sheria inasema hata Rais japo ni mkuu wan chi hana mamlaka ya kuingilia kulingana na maamuzi yaliyotolewa na mahakama hiyo hata kama wakiwaona huruma
Awali Februari 11, mwaka 2010 mahakama hiyo iliwaachia huru watoto wawili wa Babu Seya ambao waliunganishwa katika kesi hiyo baada ya kuonekana hakuna ushahidi wa kutosha ulioonyesha kwamba wana hatia katika makosa hayo
Juni, 2004, Mahakama ya Kisutu iliwahukumu Babu Seya na wanawe kwenda jela kutumikia kifungo cha maisha

World's tallest man saves dolphins
How Islamist gangs use internet to track, torture and kill Iraqi gays
Sitting on the floor, wearing traditional Islamic clothes and holding an old notebook, Abu Hamizi, 22, spends at least six hours a day searching internet chatrooms linked to gay websites. He is not looking for new friends, but for victims.
"It is the easiest way to find those people who are destroying Islam and who want to dirty the reputation we took centuries to build up," he said. When he finds them, Hamizi arranges for them to be attacked and sometimes killed.
Hamizi, a computer science graduate, is at the cutting edge of a new wave of violence against gay men in Iraq. Made up of hardline extremists, Hamizi's group and others like it are believed to be responsible for the deaths of more than 130 gay Iraqi men since the beginning of the year alone.
The deputy leader of the group, which is based in Baghdad, explained its campaign using a stream of homophobic invective. "Animals deserve more pity than the dirty people who practise such sexual depraved acts," he told the Observer. "We make sure they know why they are being held and give them the chance to ask God's forgiveness before they are killed."
The violence against Iraqi gays is a key test of the government's ability to protect vulnerable minority groups after the Americans have gone.
Dr Toby Dodge, of London University's Queen Mary College, believes that the violence may be a consequence of the success of the government of Nouri al-Maliki. "Militia groups whose raison d'être was security in their communities are seeing that function now fulfilled by the police. So their focus has shifted to the moral and cultural sphere, reverting to classic Islamist tactics of policing moral boundaries," Dodge said.
Homosexuality was not criminalised under Saddam Hussein – indeed Iraq in the 1960s and 1970s was known for its relatively liberated gay scene. Violence against gays started in the aftermath of the invasion in 2003. Since 2004, according to Ali Hali, chairman of the Iraqi LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) group, a London-based human-rights group, a total of 680 have died in Iraq, with at least 70 of those in the past five months. The group believes the figures may be higher, as most cases involving married men are not reported. Seven victims were women. According to Hali, Iraq has become "the worst place for homosexuals on Earth".
The killings are brutal, with victims ritually tortured. Azhar al-Saeed's son was one. "He didn't follow what Islamic doctrine tells but he was a good son," she said. "Three days after his kidnapping, I found a note on my door with blood spread over it and a message saying it was my son's purified blood and telling me where to find his body."
She went with police to find her son's remains. "We found his body with signs of torture, his anus filled with glue and without his genitals," she said. "I will carry this image with me until my dying day."
Police officers interviewed by the Observer said the killings were not aimed at gays but were isolated remnants of the sectarian violence that racked the country between 2005 and 2006. Hamizi's group, however, boasts that two people a day are chosen to be "investigated" in Baghdad. The group claims that local tribes are involved in homophobic attacks, choosing members to hunt down the victims. In some areas, a list of names is posted at restaurants and food shops.
The roommate of Haydar, 26, was kidnapped and killed three months ago in Baghdad. After Haydar contacted the last person his friend had been chatting with on the net, he found a letter on his front door alerting him "about the dangers of behaving against Islamic rules". Haydar plans to flee to Amman, the Jordanian capital. "I have… to run away before I suffer the same fate," he said.
According to Human Rights Watch, the Shia militia known as the Mahdi army may be among the militants implicated in the violence, particularly in the northern part of Baghdad known as Sadr City. There are reports that Mahdi army militias are harassing young men simply for wearing "western fashions".
A Ministry of Interior spokesperson, Abdul-Karim Khalaf, denied allegations of police collaboration. "The Iraqi police exists to protect all Iraqis, whatever their sexual persuasion," he said.
Hashim, another victim of violence by extremists, was attacked on Abu Nawas Street. Famous for its restaurants and bars, the street has become a symbol of the relative progress made in Baghdad. But it was where Hashim was set on by four men, had a finger cut off and was badly beaten. His assailants left a note warning that he had one month to marry and have "a traditional life" or die.
"Since that day I have not left my home. I'm too scared and don't have money to run away," Hashim said.

Meet a Woman With More than 19 Feet of Hair
Asha Mandela hasn't been clipped in 22 years -- giving her a record of more than 19 feet of dreadlocks, according to Guinness.
Amazingly, she first entered the record books with just 8 feet of hair -- forgetting all the tied up locks hidden in her hair.
It took 14 hours for a hairdresser to straighten them out -- but when she did, Mandela placed another call to the Guinness folks and had her numbers adjusted.
Mandela was born in Trinidad & Tobago, but is currently a U.S. citizen living in Florida where she create and sells -- you guessed it -- hair products.
Man 'with world's longest hair
A Vietnamese man who was thought to have the world's longest hair died
2yrs ago.The exact length of Tran Van Hay's unwashed hair was unclear but some estimates put it as long as 6.8 metres.
China's Xie Qiuping is on record as having the world's longest hair, measured at 5.6 metres in 2004, according to the Guinness World Records.
Hay began to let his hair grow more than 50 years ago because he often got sick after a haircut, the Vietnam News quoted his wife, Nguyen Thi Hoa, as saying.
Media reports said he lived a simple life as a herbalist, but his hair could complicate things. Reports said no motorcycle taxi would carry him because he could not wear a helmet. In the daytime he balanced his hair on his head like a basket, protected by a scarf.

SHOCKING PICTURES FROM TLC’S, ‘THE MAN WITH THE 132-LB SCROTUM’
Last night TLC aired a special about Wesley Warren, Jr., the man with the 132-lb scrotum. It was both fascinating and sad, a shocking look at a man who suffers from the worst case of scrotal lymphedema the world has ever seen.
The 50-year-old Las Vegas resident first noticed the problem in 2008, after a traumatic injury to his testicles. He was treated with antibiotics, anti-virals, steroids, everything but the kitchen sink. Nothing worked. Finally, Dr. Joel Gelman of the University of California, Irvine's Center for Reconstructive Urology took the case. The hour long special follows Warren through the last few weeks leading up to surgery. We've highlighted some of the more "interesting" parts. Don't worry, they're safe for work.
