salman khan death threat email linked to uk number, cops say
the email id through which a death threat was sent to bollywood actor salman khan is linked to a uk-based mobile number, the mumbai police has said.
according to reports quoting sources in the mumbai police, the email id from which the threat was made revealed that it was linked to a mobile number in the uk and efforts are underway to trace the person under whose name the number was registered.
mumbai police probing the threat e-mail case received by actor salman khan have found a british link.
last week, gangsters lawrence bishnoi, goldie brar and rohit garg were booked under sections 506(2),120(b) and 34 of the indian penal code (ipc) in a case registered at the bandra police station for allegedly sending threatening emails superstar salman khan’s office.
salman khan is currently under a y+ category security cover provided by the mumbai police; a step taken by the maharashtra government after the superstar had received a similar death threat from lawrence bishnoi gang earlier.
a death threat letter was sent to salman and his father salim khan last year, which was discovered by the khans’ security team near the bandra bandstand promenade outside the actor’s mumbai home where salim goes for his routine morning run.
in october last year, the delhi police revealed that in the purported plan to assassinate salman khan, the member of the lawrence bishnoi gang tried to befriend the staff of the actor’s farmhouse in mumbai in a bid to ascertain the details about the timings of his entry and exit.
earlier this week, security was tightened outside salman khan’s galaxy apartments after he received a death threat via an email from the lawrence bishnoi gang.
the email, reportedly sent by rohit garg, mentioned that lawrence bishnoi wants to meet salman khan in person. Bishnoi wants salman khan to apologize in public for killing blackbuck in 1998.
the e-mail stated salman khan must have seen the interview given recently to a news channel by lawrence bishnoi, and if not, he should see it. It further said if khan wants to close the matter, he should talk face-to-face with goldy bhai (goldy brar), adding there is still time but “agli bar, jhatka dekhne ko milega (next time you’ll have to face the music).”
lawrence bishnoi warned the actor that he would crush his ego sooner or later if he doesn’t apologize.
lawrence bishnoi is currently behind bars after was he arrested by the national investigation agency (nia) on november 23 last year for allegedly hatching a conspiracy to recruit youth for carrying out terror attacks in delhi and other parts of the country.
the notorious gangster is also suspected to be behind last year’s brutal gangster-style murder of popular punjabi singer-rapper sidhu moosewala. Bishnoi is the prime suspect in moosewala’s killing.
in a recent controversy, a punjab-based news channel allegedly aired a live interview of bishnoi from inside the bathinda jail, however, the punjab prisons administration denied reports that the program was shot inside any prison in the aap-ruled state.

| Family, fraternity take on Bearathon in memory of student who died 10 years ago |
| Posted on Saturday, March 25 @ 00:00:08 PDT (0 reads) | |
|
|
About 1,400 runners will race early saturday in the bearathon half marathon and the sic ‘em 6k through the streets of waco and baylor university and along the brazos river.
several will be running in honor of daniel jones, a baylor student who died near the bearathon finish line 10 years ago and whose kindness and resilience inspired many. Some of the competitors running in his memory are family members and close friends who knew him much of his life. Others are members of his fraternity now attending baylor who never got the chance to meet him. Both contingents take part in the race every year.
daniel jones was a fifth year senior and had applied for admission at george w. Truett theological seminary at baylor when he collapsed near the end of the 2013 bearathon. His legacy of kindness and consideration of others inspires his friends, family and members of his kappa omega tau fraternity.

daniel
daniel jones grew up in north richland hills, near fort worth. His uncle, dana jones, said daniel jones’ father was never part of his life and his mother died in a traffic crash while daniel was in middle school.
he lived with dana’s parents while dana was in high school and in the military.
“daniel was like a much younger brother,” dana jones said.
an infection daniel jones had at a very young age left him blind in one eye. Dana jones said he remembers teaching him batting stances for youth baseball so he could hit even though he could only see with one eye.
one of his fraternity brothers and college roommates, randall fowler, said daniel jones used his life story of overcoming adversity through hard work and faith in jesus as way to inspire other others.
“rather than turning to anger and substance abuse, daniel turned to hope in jesus christ,” fowler said. “He made a positive life and he inspired this in everyone who knew him. Being dealt a difficult hand in life doesn’t determine the future.”
he loved people, especially children and young people, and he showed it in volunteering with baylor buddies, big brothers big sisters and rapoport academy, fowler said.
taylor pfeiffer, another fraternity brother and roommate, said daniel was always joyful and always positive, even though he had sleeping troubles.
pfeiffer said daniel loved to wear costumes, at halloween or any time he could. He would dress as charlie brown, mr. Clean, popeye and other characters who had no hair, pfeiffer said.
“time that he could have spent studying a little more, daniel would invest it with his friends instead,” pfeiffer said.
running with the joneses
current kappa omega tau president ethan houser said members of the fraternity run in the bearathon every year to remember daniel.
one of daniel’s distant cousins, justin gardiner, said he and alaina sloan started the tradition among family members of running the bearathon in daniel’s name a few years after he died.
sloan, a first cousin who lived with daniel at their grandparents’ house for part of their childhood, said friday that she was not very good at running growing up but she enjoyed it.
gardiner said kappa omega tau members do a lot to remember daniel.
“they still tell his story, 10 years after he died,” gardiner said. “And they get a group of guys together to run the bearathon in daniel’s name every year.”
seth mackinnon, a current baylor student and fraternity member in charge of getting this year’s group of runners together, said the fraternity gets a group together and has dinner with daniel’s family members the friday before the race.
“running with the jones family is really important to us,” mackinnon said. “None of us there now knew daniel personally, but the tradition has gone on for 10 years. Daniel made an impact. We’re running in daniel’s name for the inspiration.”
the race course for bearathon, which bills itself as the toughest half marathon in texas, includes some significant hills in cameron park, and a portion of each registration fee goes to support the baylor student foundation’s scholarship fund, according to the race website. |

| This guy knows what its like to play in 3 straight Final Four games |
| Posted on Saturday, March 25 @ 00:00:08 PDT (0 reads) | |

Houston — ever wondered what its like to play in three straight final four games?
one of the few players to have ever done it is former university of houston star michael young. He did it during the great phi slama era of houston basketball.
nobody really believes that i went to three final four, said young.
and young wasnt riding the bench in any of these tournaments. He was starting -- hailed a charter member of the worlds tallest fraternity, phi slama jama.
when you popped onto the scene in 1982, no one really knew who you were, young said. But you were nationwide stars after three straight final fours.
young was a bonafide star who went to the ncaa tournament all four years that he was at houston. He averaged double digits in scoring all four years, including 29 points and six rebounds a game his senior year.
his third final four attracted all kinds of interest from pro scouts.
what it does, it puts you on a stage where youre playing longer than all the other teams and all the professional scouts are watching you, young said.
after his third final four, the boston celtics made young a first-round draft pick.
hey i really appreciate the celtics drafting me for red auerbach, but it didnt work out, he said. Thats the way professional sports are.
although he didnt make it with the celtics, young played professionally for 15 seasons. Twelve of those were in europe.
i just loved the game, he said. What a great way to make a living/
because most of youngs professional career was played overseas, he never regained being a household name to the national basketball fans like he was while playing in those three straight final fours with phi slama jama.
college basketball was some of the greatest experiences that you could ever experience, young said. The guys that you play with, theyll be our friends for the rest of your life. |

john fitzgerald kennedy jr. (Born november 25, 1960) and often referred to as john f. Kennedy, jr., Jfk jr., John jr., John kennedy or john-john, is the 44th president of the united states. He is the son of former u.S. President john f. Kennedy and first lady jacqueline lee bouvier kennedy. He was elected to the us senate in new york in 2000 and served until his resignation in december 2008. In 2008, he was elected president defeating senator john mccain in an electoral landslide 400 to 137.
early years
john f. Kennedy jr. Was born at georgetown university hospital sixteen days following united states presidential election, 1960. The younger kennedy was in the public spotlight from john f. Kennedy 1961 presidential inauguration. He has an older sister, caroline kennedy, and he had a younger brother, patrick bouvier kennedy patrick (who died two days after his birth in 1963). For most of the first three years of his life, he lived in the white house. His nickname john-john came from a reporter who misheard jfk calling him (john spoken twice in quick succession). Though he was often referred to publicly as john-john, members of the kennedy family themselves did not use the nickname.
on november 22, 1963, and three days later, on john jrs third birthday, the state funeral of john f. Kennedy was held. In a moment that became an emotional and iconic image of the 1960s, young jfk jr. Stepped forward and rendered a final salute as the flag-draped casket was carried out from cathedral of st. Matthew the apostle. Following his fathers assassination, kennedy grew up on the upper east side of manhattan in new york city, and in 1968, his mother jaqueline married greek shipping tycoon aristotle onassis, whom she had met in the early 1950s. Their marriage lasted until onassis death in 1975, when john jr. Was fourteen years old.
education
kennedy attended the collegiate school in new york city from third through tenth grades, and later graduated from phillips academy (also known as andover). Kennedy graduated from brown university in 1983 with a bachelors degree in history. During his studies at brown, kennedy was admitted to the phi kappa psi fraternity and through that fraternitys cornell university chapter, the irving literary society.
after brown, kennedy took a working break, traveling to india and spending some time at the university of delhi where he met mother teresa. He also worked with some of the kennedy special interest projects, including the east harlem school at exodus house and reaching up. From 1984-1986 he worked for the new york city office of business development. He served as deputy director of the 42nd street development corporation in 1986. He also did a bit of acting during that time, an activity which had been one of his passions; he appeared in many plays while at brown.
generally considered handsome and athletic, kennedy was dubbed people magazines sexiest man alive in 1988, and was the only person so named who was not a working actor.
in 1989, kennedy earned a juris doctor degree from harvard law school. He failed the new york bar exam twice before passing on the third try in july 1990. Kennedy then served as a prosecutor in the manhattan district attorneys office for four years.
public career and personal life
in 1995, kennedy founded george (magazine), a glossy politics-as-lifestyle monthly which sometimes took editorial aim even at members of his own family. He controlled 1 percent of the companys shares. After kennedys election to the us senate in new york, the magazine was bought out by hachette filipacchi magazines. Kennedys ex-girlfriends include jennifer christian (his high school sweetheart at andover); sally munro (his girlfriend at brown; they dated for six years); julie baker (a model he dated in the late 80s on and off for a few years); christina haag (a brown alumna and actress hed had a crush on while there; they started dating in 1985 for a few years); and ashley richardson (a model and actress).
kennedy married carolyn bessette on september 21, 1996, on cumberland island, georgia. His older sister caroline acted as the matron of honor and his cousin acted as best man. The couples first child, jacqueline rose kennedy, was born on october 7, 2000. The couples second child, john f. Kennedy iii, was born on may 5, 2005.
u.S. Senate campaign
the long-serving united states senator from new york, daniel patrick moynihan, announced his retirement in november 1998. Several prominent democratic figures, including representative charles b. Rangel of new york, urged kennedy to run for moynihans open seat in the united states senate election of 2000. Kennedy expected to face rudy giuliani, the mayor of new york city, as his republican opponent in the election. However, giuliani withdrew from the race in may 2000 after being diagnosed with prostate cancer and having developments in his personal life become very public, and kennedy instead faced rick lazio, a republican member of the united states house of representatives representing new yorks 2nd congressional district.
kennedy began his campaign by visiting every county in the state, in a listening tour of small-group settings. During the campaign, he devoted considerable time in traditionally republican upstate new york regions. Kennedy vowed to improve the economic situation in those areas, promising to deliver 200,000 jobs to the state over his term. His plan included tax credits to reward job creation and encourage business investment, especially in the high-tech sector. She called for personal tax cuts for college tuition and long-term care. Kennedy received the endorsement of then president bill clinton and vice president al gore jr.
the contest drew national attention as kennedy was seeking the seat previously held by his late uncle robert kennedy. Lazio blundered during a september debate by seeming to invade kennedys personal space trying to get him to sign a fundraising agreement. The campaigns of kennedy and lazio, along with giulianis initial effort, spent a record combined $90 million. Kennedy won the election on november 7, 2000, with 70 percent of the vote to lazios 28 percent. He was sworn in as united states senator on january 3, 2001.
united states senate
upon entering the senate, kennedy maintained a low public profile and built relationships with senators from both parties. He forged alliances with religiously inclined senators by becoming a regular participant in the senate prayer breakfast.
kennedy has served on five senate committees: committee on budget (2001–2002), committee on armed services (since 2003), committee on environment and public works (since 2001), committee on health, education, labor and pensions (since 2001)[200] and special committee on aging. He was also a commissioner of the commission on security and cooperation in europe (since 2001).
following the september 11, 2001, attacks, kennedy sought to obtain funding for the recovery efforts in new york city and security improvements in his state. Working with new yorks senior senator, charles schumer, he was instrumental in quickly securing $21 billion in funding for the world trade center sites redevelopment. He subsequently took a leading role in investigating the health issues faced by 9/11 first responders. Kennedy voted for the usa patriot act in october 2001. In 2005, when the act was up for renewal, he worked to address some of the civil liberties concerns with it, before voting in favor of a compromise renewed act in march 2006 that gained large majority support.
kennedy strongly supported the 2001 u.S. Military action in afghanistan. Like his uncle, edward kennedy, kennedy was a leading opponent in the bush administrations war efforts against iraq, and he voted against october 2002 iraq war resolution, which authorized united states president george w. Bush to use military force against iraq, should such action be required to enforce a united nations security council resolution after pursuing with diplomatic efforts.
after the iraq war began, kennedy made trips to iraq and afghanistan to visit american troops stationed there. On a visit to iraq in february 2005, kennedy noted that the insurgency had failed to disrupt the democratic elections held earlier, and that parts of the country were functioning well. Noting that war deployments were draining regular and reserve forces, he cointroduced legislation to increase the size of the regular united states army by 80,000 soldiers to ease the strain.
presidential campaign
on february 10, 2007, kennedy announced his candidacy for president of the united states. A large number of candidates entered the democratic party presidential primaries. The field narrowed to a duel between kennedy and senator john edwards after early contests, with the race remaining close throughout the primary process but with kennedy gaining a steady lead in pledged delegates due to better long-range planning, superior fundraising, dominant organizing in caucus states, and better exploitation of delegate allocation rules. On april 6, kennedy earned enough delegates and was named the presumptive nominee.
kennedy proceeded to focus on the general election campaign against senator john mccain, the presumptive republican nominee, in the lead up to the democratic national convention. He announced on august 23, 2008, that he had selected freshman illinois senator barack obama as his vice presidential running mate. At the convention, held august 25 to august 28 in denver, colorado kennedy delivered his acceptance speech to a crowd of over 75,000 at invesco field at mile high and presented his policy goals; the speech was viewed by over 100 million people worldwide. During both the primary process and the general election, kennedys campaign set numerous fundraising records, particularly in the quantity of small donations. On june 19, 2008, kennedy became the first major-party presidential candidate to turn down public financing in the general election since the system was created in 1976. After mccain was nominated as the republican candidate, three presidential debates were held between the contenders spanning september and october 2008. On november 4, kennedy won the presidency by winning 400 electoral votes to 137 that mccain received, in the process capturing 56.9% of the popular vote to mccains 43.7%. Kennedy delivered his victory speech before hundreds of thousands of supporters in new york city.
presidency
the inauguration of john f. Kennedy jr. As the 44th president, and barack obama as vice president, took place on january 20, 2009. In his first few days in office kennedy issued executive orders and presidential memoranda directing the u.S. Military to develop plans to withdraw troops from iraq and ordered the closing of the guantanamo bay detention camp as soon as practicable and no later than january 2010. Obama also reduced the secrecy given to presidential records and changed procedures to promote disclosure under the freedom of information act. The president also reversed george w. Bushs ban on federal funding to foreign establishments that allow abortions |

| Texans testify 5-1 against drag ban bills in first Senate committee debate |
| Posted on Friday, March 24 @ 00:00:06 PDT (4 reads) | |

Austin — a state senate committee on thursday debated two bills that would heavily restrict, and at times criminalize, drag performances in texas. Public testimony was split about five-to-one against the bills.
while neither bill explicitly mentions the word “drag,” both seek to restrict performances in which men dress and act as women, or women as men. Both are authored by sen. Bryan hughes , r-mineola, who carried the state’s abortion bounty bill last session.
“drag shows are sexually explicit and expose children to issues of sexuality and identity that should be reserved for adults,” hughes told the senate state affairs committee thursday afternoon.
the committee, which is majority republican, did not vote on the bills but can at any future meeting. If passed, the legislation will continue to the full senate for further debate.
senate bill 1601 would bar public funds to municipal libraries that put on so-called drag queen story times for kids. Senate bill 12 would redefine a “sexually oriented performance” to include when men present or exhibit themselves as women, and vice versa, and the performance “appeals to the prurient interest in sex.”
prurient means “the extreme interest in sex,” hughes said.
drag artists’ “prurient” performances would be prohibited in public spaces and in front of minors, and violators could be charged with a class a misdemeanor punishable up to a year in jail, a $4,000 fine, or both. Businesses could be slapped with $10,000 fines.
the texas bills come on the heels of similar bills, including one recently signed into law in tennessee , filed in more than a dozen states this year.
as drag shows have become more popular in mainstream popular culture — from rupaul’s drag race to drag queen story hours in libraries — they have come under greater fire by conservatives who do not want children to be able to attend the performances.
lt. Gov. Dan patrick, a republican who leads the senate, has prioritized multiple bills that would put restrictions on the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender texans. In addition to senate bill 12, the committee has already voted to send to the full senate two other priorities to ban certain medical treatments for transgender minors and require college athletes to compete in sports according to their sex at birth.
related: texas drag queens, protesters at odds in latest battleground over lgbt rights drag performers speak out in heels and wigs, satin and sequins, drag performers converged on the state capitol to defend their chosen artform. Brigitte bandit, a drag artist who performs for children and adults, asked if she would be subject to the bill because she was born a woman and performs as one.
“why should i be able to continue the same kinds of events with similar content and costumes, but not my male counterparts?” Bandit, known as the dolly parton of austin, said.
“none of us want to have children at our drag shows at the gay bar at 11 p.M. On a friday night,” she said. “But we do want to continue our events like drag story times that are intentionally modified to be appropriate for children.”
drag has deep roots in the lone star state , from the “female impersonators” featured at the state fair of texas more than a century ago to divas that draw big crowds today to the rose room or round-up saloon in dallas. Drag performers can be gay or straight, cisgender or transgender .
like most any form of entertainment, drag can be raunchy or pg, playful or political. Comedy, lip-syncing, acrobatics and dancing is common.
jay thomas, who performs drag as “bobby pudrido,” said he opposes the bills as “a drag king, as an uncle, as a texan.”
“accessing our full authentic selves is precious. It is healing, and it is everyone’s fundamental human right. To restrict drag, an art form, in any way is a direct attack on my fundamental rights as an american and as a performer,” thomas said.
related: a brief history of drag queens in texas business, arts community support drag the bills’ opponents — including representatives from the business, library and performing arts communities — expressed concerns that the bills would hurt small businesses, especially those that cater to the lgbtq community, and worsen protests against venues that have hosted all ages drag performances.
they also raised questions about the bills’ unconstitutionality and expressed concerns that the bills could have knock-on effects outside of drag, like restricting transgender texans from expressing themselves publicly in venues like karaoke bars. In texas, children are allowed into restaurants that serve alcohol if they’re with a parent.
pat buchta, ceo of the nonprofit austin texas musicians , questioned whether bands like kiss or mötley crüe would be allowed to perform in front of minors, and said he had concerns about both the “financial and legal implications” of the legislation.
hughes said the bill did not target theatrical performances “not intended to appeal to the prurient interest.” He also said he would be adding a “severability clause” to the bill to ensure that if it is deemed unconstitutional, the rest of the bill could remain standing.
but when asked if the bill would apply to kinky boots , a broadway musical about an unlikely partnership between a shoe factory owner and drag queen, hughes said he was unfamiliar with the show.
sen. José menéndez, d-san antonio, asked who would decide whether a show is “prurient,” since the word isn’t defined in the bill. Hughes said enforcement was up to the attorney general and the courts.
“if a term isn’t specifically defined, then it takes on this normal and customary meaning,” he explained. Menéndez responded, “i am concerned that what this is going to do is just put a target on the backs of certain people in certain businesses.”
baylor johnson, spokesman with the austin public library, opposed the library bill. It specifies that funds must be withheld for a year if “the person being dressed as the opposite gender is the primary component of the entertainment.” The bill does not include a “prurient interest” clause, so it would apply to all drag shows.
christians among supporters, opponents among those testifying for the bill were mary elizabeth castle with the christian advocacy group texas values , physician and anti-lgbtq rights activist steven hotze and kelly neidert, the leader of a group that’s organized several anti-drag protests in and around dallas.
paul hale of queen city, who has testified in favor of patrick’s other priority bills, said that most of the public testimony against the bill was from members of the lgbtq community.
“i would like to remind what those stand for: l is for lesbian. They cannot reproduce. That equals death. Gay cannot reproduce. That equals death,” hale said. “The b in there is bisexual, as a spreader of disease.”
members of the faith community also spoke for the bill. Unitarian universalist rev. Erin walter said debating bills like these, even if they never become law, imperils lgbtq people by sidelining their identities and modes of expression.
“i beg you: no more lives lost because of hearings like this,” walter said. “You have very important work to do for the children of texas, very important work, and this is not it.” |
