| NOT BUYING IT: Without proof, sorry, it's 'No way, Jose'
Without proof, sorry, it's 'No way, Jose' January 25, 2008 BY MICHAEL ROSENBERG FREE PRESS COLUMNIST I have no idea whether Magglio Ordonez has ever used steroids. No idea.

Mohamed teddy bear teacher, Gillian Gibbons, is spared lash but gets ...
A British schoolteacher was behind bars in an overcrowded Sudanese prison last night after being convicted of inciting religious hatred for letting her pupils name a teddy bear Mohamed. Gillian Gibbons, 54, escaped a sentence of 40 lashes after apologising to the court for any offence she had caused. But she began serving a 15-day sentence in a women’s prison where the regime is extremely harsh by Western standards. Many Sudanese consider Omdurman’s women’s prison to be one of the country’s more comfortable jails. It is, however, overcrowded. Many inmates are southern Sudanese women convicted of selling alcohol, and many have babies. Ms Gibbons will have to rely on wellwishers bringing her food and water. David Miliband, the Foreign Secretary, said he was "extremely disappointed" with the sentence and summoned Omer Siddig, the Sudanese Ambassador, to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to explain the decision.
