Egyptian Army Opens Fire On Muslim Brotherhood Demonstration In Cairo
From the Guardian:
Thousands of supporters of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood have defied a government-imposed crackdown to march through Cairo and Alexandria following Friday prayers.
In Cairo, Islamist supporters marched towards the site of sit-ins that had been broken up with tremendous force by the military in August. Army vehicles fired live rounds in the direction of Muslim Brotherhood supporters, who had been pushed away from the city’s Tahrir Square by security forces, a witness told Reuters. At least one Muslim Brotherhood supporter was reportedly shot dead in the clashes.
Onlookers joined soldiers in their assault, throwing rocks at the demonstrators who then threw them back. Muslim Brotherhood supporters chanted slogans calling for the downfall of the military chief General Abdel Fatah al-Sisi. Riot police had earlier fired teargas to push back the march.
Egyptian state security was boosted around Rabaa al-Adaweya mosque, the larger of the Brotherhood’s two former Cairo sit-ins, as the body of protesters approached, the state news agency reported.
Egypt has been gripped by political and economic turmoil since Sisi overthrew the Islamist leader Mohamed Morsi, the country’s first freely elected president, on 3 July after mass protests against his rule. Hundreds of people were killed when the security forces broke up the Brotherhood sit-ins in August.
The Brotherhood is facing one of the toughest crackdowns in its 85-year history. Hundreds of supporters have been killed by security forces and leaders have been jailed, but small protests are still taking place.
Security sources said a 2,000-strong march in the Maadi suburb south of Cairo was heading in the direction of the square, but was still several kilometres away.
U.S. Capitol Suspect Believed Obama Electronically Monitored Her (Video)
From ABC News:
The woman who led police on a high-speed chase near the U.S. Capitol before being shot dead had a history of mental illness and believed President Obama was electronically monitoring her Connecticut home in order to broadcast her life on television, sources said.
Sources told ABC News that Connecticut police had twice in 2012 been called by Miriam Carey’s boyfriend, who reported the woman was delusional, acting irrationally and putting her infant daughter in danger.
Carey, 34, a dental hygienist from Stamford, Conn., was killed by police Thursday after trying to ram a White House gate and leading cops on a chase down Pennsylvania Avenue with her 1-year-old daughter in the car. The toddler was uninjured and placed in police custody.
According to sources Carey believed she was the “prophet of Stamford” and was capable of communicating with Obama.
Her mother, Idella Carrey, told ABC News that her daughter had been hospitalized after suffering post-partum depression.
On Dec. 10, 2012, police were called to Carey’s home by her boyfriend Eric Francis, 54, father of her baby. Francis told police Carey was emotionally disturbed and he believed his daughter was in danger, according to sources.
Carey told police President Obama had placed Stamford on lockdown and had arranged to have her home electronically monitored and her life broadcast on television, sources said.
Police handcuffed Carey and remanded her for a mental health evaluation. According to sources, Carey had a family history of schizophrenia and was taking medication for a mental illness.
On Dec. 21, Francis again called police to report his girlfriend was “off her medication” and acting erratically.
In January, the source said, a state social worker met with Carey and Francis and Francis told the social worker that Carey was “100 percent back to normal.” Carey told the social worker she had been diagnosed with post-partum depression, was on prescription medication, and was receiving treatment, the source said.
Alleged Silk Road Kingpin Denies Running Internet Drug Market Following Arrest
If you’re not sure what the “Silk Road” is, you can get the entire breakdown here. From SFGate:
A San Francisco man accused of running the huge online drug marketplace known as Silk Road, and of seeking to have two people killed to protect the lucrative enterprise, is innocent of all charges filed against him, his attorney said Friday.
Federal prosecutors allege that Ross William Ulbricht, 29, is “Dread Pirate Roberts,” the once-anonymous administrator of a website that allowed visitors to shield their identities as they bought and sold cocaine, heroin and other drugs.
The site, now seized, resembled mainstream retail businesses like Amazon or eBay, with the operator collecting commission on deals.
Ulbricht was arrested Tuesday in the Glen Park branch of the San Francisco Public Library and appeared in U.S. District Court in San Francisco on Friday. He faces charges that include narcotics trafficking, money laundering and attempting to murder a witness.
The detention hearing was put over until Wednesday. Prosecutors said they expect to transfer Ulbricht to the East Coast, where he faces a criminal complaint filed in New York and a grand jury indictment handed down in Maryland.
Ulbricht did not enter a plea. But his public defender, Brandon LeBlanc, said after leaving the courtroom, “We deny all charges,” while declining further comment. Ulbricht, a Texas native who moved to San Francisco a year ago, remains in custody.
Federal investigators spent two years infiltrating Silk Road, which used Tor, a free software that was designed to hide online communications, and bitcoins, an anonymous digital currency, to conceal user activities. The FBI said it located Ulbricht by tracking his online activity.
Twice in the past year, authorities alleged, Ulbricht sought to have people executed to protect Silk Road, though in both cases the threats apparently weren’t real.
In one case, they said, Ulbricht paid $80,000 in bitcoins to have a former website employee tortured and killed after he was arrested. But according to prosecutors, the anonymity of Silk Road backfired on Ulbricht after he asked a purported drug smuggler to carry out the hit.
The smuggler was actually an undercover agent, the government said – the same agent who had arrested the employee.

Man Reportedly Set Himself On Fire At The National Mall In Washington D.C.
A witness posted the above video of what appears to be the helicopter airlifting the man off the Mall. From The Washington Post:
Authorities were called to the Mall on Friday afternoon to respond to reports that a man had set himself on fire.
The man was taken to the hospital with “life threatening injuries,” Fire Department spokesman Timothy J. Wilson said.
“No indication on our end of what caused the fire,” Wilson said. “So how it started, don’t know.”
Hugh Carew, a D.C. police spokesman, said the initial call that came in referred to a man who set himself on fire on the Mall.
Witnesses, standing blocks from the path of a car chase that tore through downtown Washington on Thursday, described the smell of burning flesh and seeing passersby come to the man’s aid.
Nicole Didyk of the District was jogging on the mall when she witnessed the incident.
She said she saw about five men using T-shirts to smother flames on a man in the middle of the Mall at 7th Street and Jefferson Drive. She said she did not see flames on him, but his “face and arms were charred” and the ground nearby was in flames.
Didyk said she spoke to one of the men who tried to put out the flames afterward. That man told her that the injured man had faced the Capitol, doused himself on fire and then lit himself on fire.
The man who tried to put out the flames said the victim told the people who had come to his rescue “thank you” afterward.
Meghan Van Heertum was walking on the Mall when she saw a massive police response near Seventh and Jefferson.
“I saw cops fly up from all directions,” Van Heertum said.
She saw one of the officers kick something that was on fire, near a man that was lying on the ground in the middle of the Mall. What appeared to be a red gas can and yellow tarp were seen near that location.
The flames were only a couple of feet off the ground, she said. She did not see flames coming from the man, but the air “smelled strongly of burning flesh.”
Authorities were alerted at 4:24 p.m., and the fire department arrived about three minutes later, Wilson said.
D.C. police spokeswoman Saray Leon said the man was “conscious and breathing” when firefighters responded.
A Metro spokeswoman reported that a Metro Transit Police officer also saw the incident and tried to help.

He spoke more on the project below:
It’s a lot of good music that either didn’t fit the format of the last album or that we decided to save for another project. I sat down with my long time business partner and Rap-A-Lot CEO James Prince to review the music that we had and quickly came up with an outstanding track list. The Epilogue is the perfect opportunity to release some great material to the fans and a proper final chapter for the Trill-ogy. Good music is timeless.

@DizzeeRascal – The British Masters – Chapter 10 (Noisey)
Esteemed music journalist John Doran meets Dizzee Rascal in the 10th and final chapter of the series of The British Masters. So far, John has interviewed some of the most influential and colourful characters in British popular music history, including Johnny Marr, Bryan Ferry and Adam Ant.
In John’s own words: “Cutting his teeth as an MC in his early teens, Dizzee wasn’t even out of school when he was one of small group of rappers and producers responsible for the birth of grime. Just 10 years ago he released the genre-defining ‘Boy in da Corner’ which deservedly won him the Mercury Prize. Since then he has turned his attentions almost effortlessly to the pop charts. With five number 1’s under his belt, I get the feeling he is only just warming up, and his eyes are squarely on the international crown.”
Susan Bennett: “I’m The Original Voice Of Siri”
CNN reports:
For the past two years, she’s been a pocket and purse accessory to millions of Americans. She’s starred alongside Samuel L. Jackson and Zooey Deschanel. She’s provided weather forecasts and restaurant tips, been mocked as useless and answered absurd questions about what she’s wearing.
She is Siri, Apple’s voice-activated virtual “assistant” introduced to the masses with the iPhone 4S on October 4, 2011.
Behind this groundbreaking technology there is a real woman. While the ever-secretive Apple has never identified her, all signs indicate that the original voice of Siri in the United States is a voiceover actor who laid down recordings for a client eight years ago. She had no idea she’d someday be speaking to more than 100 million people through a not-yet-invented phone.
Her name is Susan Bennett and she lives in suburban Atlanta.Apple won’t confirm it. But Bennett says she is Siri. Professionals who know her voice, have worked with her and represent her legally say she is Siri. And an audio-forensics expert with 30 years of experience has studied both voices and says he is “100%” certain the two are the same.

Jim Jones Arrested For Driving While High As A Kite
From TMZ:
Rapper Jim Jones was arrested for cruising around high — and allegedly at high speed — this morning in the Bronx … TMZ has learned.
According to law enforcement sources … NYPD pulled JJ over around 2 AM for speeding on a highway … and when officers approached his Chevy Impala (baller) — they say he had bloodshot eyes and looked out of it.
We’re told they put Jones through some field sobriety tests … which he did NOT pass with flying colors.
Sources tell us JJ refused a breathalyzer test back at the police station, and was booked for driving under the influence of drugs. We’re told the drug is believed to be marijuana.
Jones has been busted a few other times in NY and NJ, but still can’t touch DMX’s stats. Nobody does.
There Is Apparently A Love & Hip-Hop Houston In The Works, With More On The Way (DETAILS)
Spotted on CelebNMusic247:
Mona Scott-Young is obviously looking for some high drama rap stars to add to the dysfunctional rebranding machine that has helped Lil Scrappy, Stevie J, Joe Budden, Rich Dollaz, Olivia, K Michelle, Rasheeda and Karlie Redd to get their brands back on the map. Next stop Love and Hip Hop Houston all aboard!
Here’s the drop on the new cast of Love and Hip Hop Houston:
Now Houston is the new hub for high anxiety filled with drama as Love and Hip Hop Houston is about to take off, but first we have to give you the dish on who is joining the cast.
Wednesday (Oct 2) our first LHHH cast member Slim Thug took to Twitter to reveal He was NOT the father after winning his child support court case. Thug has recently made headlines for getting a vasectomy and beefing with MTO over sickness rumors.
The number 2 slot is taken by Willie D of the Geto Boys, who is known for his work with his community.
Then comes the drama, with our number three reveal. Hip Hop Vixen Jhonni Blaze interview about being a Hip Hop Vixen and aspiring artist as Jzaper also was part of viscious vixens modeling agency, and previous stripper, twerka holic. She been been published three times on Stunnaz Mag.
Number four is Crawford Wilkerson aka DJ Hi C a rap artist from Houston. He has collaborated with DJ Quik and AMG. He’s one of the most sought-after celebrity DJ’s in H-Town spinning for Lebron, Kevin Hart, James Harden, Kid Capri, P Diddy, Nelly, Common, Chris Paul and Trey Songz
Kristal Solis, another model/vixen and of course aspiring actress is the eye candy hopefully bringing lots of drama and secrets to reveal on camera. Obviously she’s a hopeful ratings draw.
Last is, Lil Keith Nelson, Houstons mega famous promoter and boyfriend to Kristal Solis.
Basically the new Love and Hip Hop seems to have a Stevie J, a Joseline, a Joe Budden and a Rich Dollaz and a Erica Mena type character. We’ll see if Houston can bring it. We would love to have seen Scarface or Paul Wall as part of the cast, but time will tell.
Next Stop New Orleans and Los Angeles which are currently being cast, so we will keep you posted…
