AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Strapped for cash and under pressure from Dutch prosecutors, the Amsterdam chapter of the biker group Hells Angels is organizing a benefit party on Saturday, looking to raise money to pay for legal costs.

"Hells Angels Amsterdam need your support," the motorcycle club said on its website on Wednesday in the party invitation as the group fights several court cases across the Netherlands in which prosecutors seek to ban Hells Angels chapters.

Prosecutors have already lost two such cases, most recently on Wednesday, when an Amsterdam court ruled against banning the local chapter.

Dutch prosecutors are also conducting criminal investigations that could lead to a major trial in October, Dutch news agency ANP reported.

"We are facing at the moment a battle we never had to fight before," the Hells Angels website read, asking for support: "Today they do it to us, tomorrow they do it to you."

OK the Hells Angles of North America is incorporated and has a legal defense fund exceeding 500 million dollars last I knew, so why the fuss from the Dutch bros.Come ask ol Sonny Barger for a few ducats!
So much for brotherhood, esp when it comes to the bucks! BC

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. (MSFT.O: Quote, Profile, Research) warned of four security flaws in its software that it categorized as "critical" on Tuesday that could allow attackers to gain control of a user's computer.

Microsoft, whose Windows operating system runs some 95 percent of the world's computers, issued the patches as part of its monthly security bulletin.

The world's biggest software maker defines a flaw as "critical" when it could allow a damaging Internet worm to replicate without the user's doing anything to the machine.

The company said the "critical" patches fixed three holes in its Windows operating system and another in its Content Management Server product. Microsoft also issued another security update for Windows it rated at the lower threat level of "important."

The fixes come a little more than a week after it released a patch outside of the regular monthly update to plug a security hole related to an animated cursor that hackers had used to launch attacks after users clicked on links to malicious Web sites.

The company has been working to improve the security and reliability of its software as more and more malicious software target weaknesses in Windows and other Microsoft software.

The latest patches can be downloaded at www.microsoft.com/security.

I am going there now! Some world leader in S-ware huh? DOH! BC

Tue Apr 10, 2007 9:06 AM ET RIYADH (Reuters) - A Saudi man lost a bit of his nose in a joint assault by his two wives after he jokingly threatened to marry a third woman. Judaie Ibn Salem had thought his threat would help resolve an argument over dividing up his house. "I swore that I would do it because ... they were impolite and that's when I came under an even bigger attack," Ibn Salem told Shams newspaper after having seven stitches inserted. "I never realized they would get so worked up. But the only way to restore my dignity is really to take a third wife. "I don't know what I'm going to lose next if I do that." Islamic law allows men to take up to four wives and polygamy is not unusual in the conservative kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam. I just hope they don't go Bobbit on the guy!! BC
