   Pig Farmer Murdered Prostitutes

 

  A pig farmer accused of being Canada's worst serial killer was found guilty of second-degree murder in the deaths of six women Sunday. Robert 'Willie' Pickton was facing the first of 26 murder charges for the deaths of women, most of them prostitutes and drug addicts from a seedy Vancouver neighborhood.Pickton, 58, was found guilty of the murders of Mona Wilson, Sereena Abotsway, Marnie Frey, Brenda Wolfe, Andrea Joesbury and Georgina Papin. The defense acknowledged that their remains were found on Pickton's farm outside Vancouver, but denied he was responsible for their deaths.Pickton listened to the verdict with his head bowed. He will receive life in prison and will not be eligible for parole for at least 10 years when he is sentenced Tuesday. The jury had no recommendation Sunday on whether to extend that 10-year period. When the jury entered the courtroom again for that announcement, Pickton smirked.Two jurors, both women, wiped tears from their eyes while the verdict was read.The jury of seven men and five women took 10 days to reach a verdict. They had the option of finding Pickton guilty of first-degree murder, second-degree murder or manslaughter or not guilty on any of the six counts.

MOBILE PORN Revenues from mobile 'adult services' are set to approach $3.5bn by 2010, according to a new report.Juniper Research said that growth will be fuelled by increasing adoption of streamed video and video chat, and a sharp rise in the adoption of 3G services.A significant proportion of new revenues are expected to come from the relatively underdeveloped North American markets, despite restrictions on on-portal content. "While operators in the US and Canada are still very reluctant to introduce age-verification systems and offer adult content, it is a completely different story off-portal," said report author Dr Windsor Holden."A number of service providers are now offering direct-to-consumer content and services aimed at those markets. As mobile subscribers become more comfortable and familiar with the off-portal environment, traffic to these sites will mushroom." Mobile porn to hit $3.5bn by 2010

FAMILY CONCERNS

 

Anne Graham Lotz

My Mother’s legacy in my life runs very deep…and wide. When I think of my Mother, I think of… … her sparkling eyes--she just loved life. She was full of fun, opinions, and a zest for living that was evident until her last breath. …her arms always outstretched to welcome me into her presence with unconditional love. …her quips and quotes, such as: Anne, make the most of all that comes, and the least of all that goes. A good marriage is made up of two good forgivers. Every cat knows some things need to be covered. It takes two to make a fight. God called you not to make your husband good, but to make him happy. You can’t teach your kids to like spinach if every time they see you eating yours, you gag. But two things stand out above all the rest. My Mother was in love with Jesus…and that love was contagious. She wasn’t caught up in religion or tradition or rituals-- she was caught up in a personal relationship with Jesus. And she developed that relationship through hours spent reading and studying her Bible, hours spent on her knees in prayer. DallasNews Religion: Anne Graham Lotz, on her mother's death
