Donald Trump wins right to use family crest from Scottish heralds to advertise golf course

Riding the crest: Donald Trump, pictured with wife Melania, has won the right to use a family coat of arms to advertise his Scottish golf resort

American billionaire Donald Trump has won a battle to have his very own Scottish coat of arms - four years after falling foul of ancient heraldic laws.

The new insignia will be used to promote the ?750million championship golf links he has built at the Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire.

The businessman is well known for publicising his links to Scotland, often referring to his Lewis-born mother.

But Mr Trump's love of all things Scottish landed him in trouble in 2008 when the court of the Lord Lyon invoked a law dating back to 1672 - to warn him about using an unregistered logo.

It is a criminal offence under the ancient Scottish law to use an unauthorised crest.

But Mr Trump's official emblem has now been recognised - much to the delight of the vice-president of Trump International Sarah Malone, who said a lot of work had gone into designing the coat of arms.

She said today: 'The coat of arms brings together visual elements that signify different aspects of the Trump family heritage and the importance of this project.

'The Lion Rampant makes reference to Scotland and the stars to America. Three chevronels are used to denote sky, sand dunes and sea - the essential components of the site.

This is the coat of arms that up till now has been used on clothing and promotional material by Trump in Scotland. His new coat of arms will show a double-sided eagle representing the dual nationality of Trump's heritage. There will also be three chevronels - one more than depicted here - which will represent sky, sand dunes and sea

And this is MailOnline's crest in jest: This alternative coat of arms has golden girls and a gaudy skyscraper, a 'chevronel' of combs for his famous hair, and a fist clutching Barack Obama's birth certificate. The (roughly translated) Latin motto says 'You're Fired'

Mr Trump in full swing on the 13th tee of his golf course in Balmedie, Aberdeenshire. His cap and jacket appear to show the current crest which is set to be replaced

'The double-sided eagle represents the dual nature and nationality of Trump's heritage.

'The eagle clutches golf balls, making reference to the great name of golf, and the motto "Numquam Concedere" is Latin for "Never Give Up" - Trump's philosophy.'

Mr Trump's championship course is now complete and 3,000 people have already signed up to play - but it's not all the way out of the woods when it comes to controversy.

The clubhouse for Mr Trump's Aberdeenshire resort - despite only being in the planning stages - has already been voted Scotland's worst building in the comically titled Zit Awards.

MailOnline decided to have a stab at creating its own crest for Mr Trump, with the various visual elements signifying different aspects of his colourful life.

Central to the shield is a gaudy skycraper, denoting (literally) his business empire and (metaphorically) his virility.

Either side of Trump Tower stands a stylised 'golden' woman. These are a dual reference to his involvement in the Miss Universe and Miss USA competitions - as well as his ex-wives Ivana Trump and Marla Maples, who were rumoured to be awarded $25million and $2million from their respective divorces.

A 'chevronel' made from two hair combs are used to denote The Donald's famous 'comb-over' hairstyle, while the bottom of the crest refers to his dogged persistence last year in trying to force President Barack Obama to make public his birth certificate.

Like its position on the shield, Mr Trump's critics say his leadership of the 'birther' movement was the lowest point of his political career.?

The motto is a loose Latin translation of 'You're fired' - his favourite phrase from The Apprentice.

Not a favourite: An artist's impression of the new clubhouse planned for Donald Trump's ?750million golf resort in Aberdeenshire. Before a stone has been laid, the building has been voted the worst in Scotland

"New Girl' wins ratings night for Fox (Reuters)

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) ? Fox's Tuesday-night comedy slate returned after a five-week time-out, nearly sweeping the board and giving the network an overall ratings win for the night, while ABC's "Last Man Standing" bounced back from a season low, according to preliminary numbers.

The network's roster took the top three slots of the night (though "Raising Hope" shared the No. 3 spot with "Standing"). "Glee" at 8 p.m. ran even with its last original five weeks ago, receiving a 3.0 rating/8 share in the adults 18-49 demographic and 7.4 million total viewers. "New Girl" the following hour saw a modest bump and took the night's highest numbers in the demographic with a 3.4/8 and 6.9 million total viewers. Rounding out the night at 9:30, "Raising Hope" drew even with its last original, receiving a 2.3/6 and 5.1 million total viewers.

Overall the network was top-rated with an average 2.9/7, though CBS was the most-watched network, despite airing repeats throughout the night, with an average 9.8 million total viewers.

ABC's 8 p.m. "Last Man Standing" earned a 24 percent ratings boost over last Tuesday, when it preceded the much-maligned and quickly axed "Work It." It scored a 2.6/7 and 8.5 million total viewers. Following a "Standing" repeat, "Celebrity Wife Swap" at 9 performed even with last week for a 2.1/5 and 5.8 million total viewers. "Body of Proof" at 10 also matched last week's performance with a 1.6/4 and 7.8 million total viewers.

NBC's ratings were largely flat. "Biggest Loser" at 8 tied its season low with a 2.3/6. It had 6.6 million total viewers. "Parenthood" at 10, was flat with last week's season low, taking a 1.7/5. It had 4.9 million total viewers.

CW's premiere of its new series "Remodeled" at 9 p.m. fared poorly, earning a 0.3/1 and 707,000 total viewers. It was preceded by "90210" at 8, which posted a 0.6/2 and 1.3 million total viewers.

'Spooky action at distance': Physicists develop first conclusive test to better understand high-energy particles correlations

ScienceDaily (Jan. 16, 2012) ? Researchers have devised a proposal for the first conclusive experimental test of a phenomenon known as 'Bell's nonlocality.' This test is designed to reveal correlations that are stronger than any classical correlations, and do so between high-energy particles that do not consist of ordinary matter and light. These results are relevant to the so-called 'CP violation' principle, which is used to explain the dominance of matter over antimatter.

These findings by Beatrix Hiesmayr, a theoretical physicist at the University of Vienna, and her colleagues, a team of quantum information theory specialists, particle physicists and nuclear physicists, have been published in The European Physical Journal C.

According to the famous Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Gedanken-Experiment, two particles that are measured independently obey the principle of locality, implying that an external influence on the first particle, such as measurement, has no direct influence on the second -- in other words there is no "spooky action at distance," as Einstein would likely have described it.

In an experimental setup, however, measurement results for one particle revealed a correlated measurement result for the other particle. Initially, these correlations could only be explained by referring to hidden parameters. In 1964, John Bell found that so-called local realistic hidden parameter theories imply that the relations between these correlations could be experimentally tested through so-called Bell tests. Since then many experiments have proven that local, realistic hidden parameters cannot be used as an explanation for these correlations.

In this study, the authors have succeeded in devising a new Bell test, taking into account the decay property of high-energy particles systems, called kaon-antikaon systems. This procedure ensures that the test is conclusive -- a goal that has never before been achieved -- and simultaneously guarantees its experimental testability. Experimental testing requires equipment such as the KLOE detector at the accelerator facility DAPHNE in Italy.

Revealing "spooky action at distance" for kaon-antikaon pairs has fundamental implications for our understanding of such particles' correlations and could ultimately allow us to determine whether symmetries in particle physics and manifestations of particles correlations are linked.

Homeless killing suspect warned dad of danger

YORBA LINDA, Calif.?? Just months after he was deployed to Iraq in 2008, a Marine veteran now suspected in the deaths of four homeless men in Southern California sent his family a short, upbeat video greeting.

The video, which was mostly in Spanish, showed Itzcoatl Ocampo wishing his father a happy Father's Day and reading an excerpt from Dr. Seuss' "Green Eggs and Ham" to his then 10-year-old sister.

The former Marine's 17-year-old brother, Mixcoatl Ocampo, recalled how happy his family members were when they got the video in the mail that summer. They all gathered around the television in the living room to watch Itzcoatl Ocampo, who appeared in fatigues and talked against the backdrop of an American flag.

"We hadn't seen my brother since he got deployed," he said. "Dad saw the video, and when he first saw it he was thrilled."

According to friends and family, a much darker Ocampo returned home after he was discharged in 2010. His parents separated, and his father eventually became homeless.

Now, Ocampo's family is left trying to reconcile the smiling, slightly nervous-sounding soldier in the video greeting friends and family with the blankly staring man in the police mug shot accused of murder.

STORY: Report: Suspect in homeless slaying distraught after Iraq combat

Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas has scheduled a news conference for 11 a.m. Tuesday to announce charges against Itzcoatl Ocampo. The 23-year-old is expected to be charged with four counts of murder in the serial killings of four homeless men since late December.

He was arrested Jan. 13 after a locally known homeless man, John Berry, 64, was stabbed to death outside an Anaheim fast-food restaurant. Bystanders gave chase, and police made the arrest. Ocampo is being held in isolation at the central jail in Santa Ana for his own safety because of the notoriety of the case, according to Lt. Hal Brotheim, a spokesman with the Orange County Sheriff's Department.

Ocampo's father, 49-year-old Refugio Ocampo, said his son came back a changed man after serving in Iraq, expressing disillusionment and becoming ever darker as his family life frayed and he struggled to find his way as a civilian.

The father said he lost his job and home, and ended up living under a bridge before finding shelter in the cab of a broken-down big-rig he is helping repair.

Just days before his elder son's arrest, Itzcoatl Ocampo came to visit his father, warning him of the danger of being on the streets and showing him a picture of one of the victims.

"He was very worried about me," Refugio Ocampo told The Associated Press on Sunday. "I told him, 'Don't worry. I'm a survivor. Nothing will happen to me.'"

Itzcoatl Ocampo had been living with his mother, uncle, and younger brother and sister in a rented house on a horse ranch surrounded by the sprawling suburbs of Yorba Linda. At the humble home, his mother, who speaks little English, tearfully brought her son's Marine Corps dress uniform out of a closet and showed unit photos, citations and medals from his military service.

The son followed a friend into the Marine Corps right out of high school in 2006 instead of going to college as his father had hoped. Itzcoatl Ocampo was discharged in 2010 and returned home to find his family in disarray, his father said.

The same month, one of Itzcoatl Ocampo's friends, 22-year-old Cpl. Claudio Patino IV of Yorba Linda, was killed in combat operations in Helmand province, Afghanistan.

"Once he received the news, he was never the same," Mixcoatl Ocampo said. He said his brother visited Patino's grave twice a week.

Refugio and Mixcoatl both described a physical condition Itzcoatl suffered in which his hands shook and he suffered headaches. Medical treatments helped until he started drinking heavily, both said.

"He started drinking like crazy ? too much, way too much," the father said.

A neighbor who is a Vietnam veteran and the father both tried to push Itzcoatl to get treatment at a Veterans hospital, but he refused. Refugio Ocampo said he wanted his son to get psychological treatment as well.

"He started talking about stuff that didn't make any sense, that the end of the world was going to happen," he said.

While Refugio Ocampo lives away from his family, they remain close. He saw his children every day, and his wife brings food to the parking lot where the truck is located in the city of Fullerton.

Refugio Ocampo, who said he was educated as a lawyer in Mexico, immigrated with his wife and Itzcoatl in 1988 and became a U.S. citizen. He described building a successful life in which he became a warehouse manager and bought a home in Yorba Linda. In the past few years he lost his job, ran out of savings, lost his house and separated from his wife.

Standing near the truck where he sleeps, Refugio Ocampo fought back tears as he described the changes he saw in his son in the year since returning home.

"Before, he had the initiative to do things, the desire. But after the military, he didn't have any of that," he said.

Refugio Ocampo said investigators came to him Friday night and showed him surveillance photos from a crime scene, but he did not recognize his son as the person in the images.

"If he did it, it wasn't right, obviously. But there's something wrong with him," he said.

In addition to Berry and McGillivray, Lloyd Middaugh, 42, was killed near a riverbed trail in Anaheim on Dec. 28; and Paulus Smit, 57, was found dead outside a Yorba Linda library on Dec. 30.

Authorities have provided no information on evidence against Ocampo, or a possible motive. But Anaheim Police Chief John Welter has said investigators are confident they have the man responsible for the string of murders.

Kavita N. Ramdas: Beyond Vietnam Lie Afghanistan and Iraq: In Memory of MLK

"Abba, Amma, did you know we used to have to ride on the back of the bus?" our five year old daughter Mira Husnara emerged from her kindergarten class full of indignation. "And," she added breathlessly, "did you know, that Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks fought for us so we can swim in a swimming pool and not in the Mississippi?" We smiled -- our dark skinned daughter, born on the South Side of Chicago and growing up in rather pale Palo Alto, appeared to have found her sense of belonging and community. Celebrating Martin Luther King's birthday was her introduction to the gross inequalities and divisions of the United States, but also to a rich heritage of social justice, human rights activism, and non-violent resistance.

Our daughter is now 18 and on the cusp of a new adventure as she readies herself for college. She has grown up watching King's dream for greater racial equality in the United States is on its way to being partially realized. In her sophomore year at high school, a black man with a Muslim middle name that sounds close to hers, Barack Hussein Obama, was elected President of the United States. Yet, she also has grown up in a world where the United States has been at war for the greater part of her childhood. It still is.

Pakistan, home to my husband's family, is reviled in the U.S. for its Islamic fundamentalism, terrorism, military dictatorships and coups. She has grown up traveling between the U.S., Pakistan and India and is used to being pulled aside for special security screenings because she and her father have names that match suspects on the "list". The United States, which we once viewed as valuing social equality in ways that could be models for India and Pakistan, has become one of the most unequal societies in the developed world. Mira has been exposed to great wealth and privilege in this suburban town, but barely a mile away across Route 101 in East Palo Alto, Latino and African American families live from paycheck to paycheck, without access to good schools or healthcare, and vulnerable to violence in their everyday lives.

In other words, the other part of King's dream, his hope for a more egalitarian and peaceful United States, is far from being realized. On his birthday most of us hear and read excerpts from King's famous "I have a dream" speech. Yet, it is King's "Beyond Vietnam" that is the one that goes beyond the issues of racial equality and civil rights. He bluntly denounces the U.S. invasion in Vietnam, challenges the direction of global capitalism and calls for "a true revolution of values". This new approach he asserted "will look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth. With righteous indignation, it will look across the seas and see individual capitalists of the West investing huge sums of money in Asia, Africa and South America, only to take the profits out with no concern for the social betterment of the countries, and say: "This is not just." The Western arrogance of feeling that it has everything to teach others and nothing to learn from them is not just."

King goes on to argue that it is only through such a transformation of values that communism can be challenged. It is easy to substitute Islamic fundamentalism or terrorism for communism in the following passage: "This kind of positive revolution of values is our best defense against communism. War is not the answer. Communism will never be defeated by the use of atomic bombs or nuclear weapons. These are days which demand wise restraint and calm reasonableness. We must with positive action seek to remove those conditions of poverty, insecurity and injustice which are the fertile soil in which the seed of communism grows and develops."

The year that has just ended began with remarkable and largely peaceful protests by common people on the streets of Tunisia and Egypt that led to ousters of dictators and serious challenges to military regimes long propped up by the United States. These struggles are far from done and here again King's words have much resonance: "These are revolutionary times. All over the globe men are revolting against old systems of exploitation and oppression and out of the wombs of a frail world new systems of justice and equality are being born. The shirtless and barefoot people of the land are rising up as never before. We in the West must support these revolutions. Our only hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary spirit and go out into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility to poverty, racism, and militarism."

This is not a popular message in today's world where force is regularly used to settle conflict and where the United States has the world's largest defense budget and remains the world's most significant military power. He minced no words when he said, "A true revolution of values will lay hands on the world order and say of war: "This way of settling differences is not just." He went on to add, "The only change came from America as we increased our troop commitments in support of governments which were singularly corrupt, inept and without popular support. All the while the people read our leaflets and received regular promises of peace and democracy -- and land reform." He might easily be speaking about the despotic governments that the activists of the Arab Spring sought to topple, many of which remain allies of the United States. Saudi Arabia recently received a commitment of over $60 billion in armament sales.

In an ironic twist this week, the Obama administration has been forced to redo King's quote on the newly innagurated memorial in DC. It is an apt metaphor for how totally we have forgotten his radical call to action. "We must rapidly begin the shift from a "thing-oriented" society to a "person-oriented" society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered." These words were not written or spoken in a post 9/11, post Arab Spring, post Occupy Wall Street world but they were never more relevant than they are now. If Mira and her generation are to have a fighting chance to realize King's dream they need the wisdom and courage of "Beyond Vietnam".

Security breaks up southern Yemen protest, kill 4 (AP)

SANAA, Yemen ? Security forces opened fired with bullets and tear gas on protesters in the southern city of Aden on Friday, killing at least four people, a medic and a witness said.

The protesters were staging a rally in a central square to demand the country's outgoing president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, be put on trial.

The witness said some armed men in the demonstration returned fire. A security official said three troops were wounded, including an officer. The medic and security official spoke Friday on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to reporters. The witness feared retribution from the authorities.

Protesters held rallies in cities across Yemen Friday calling for regime change and rejecting a recent law granting President Ali Abdullah Saleh and his government officials immunity from prosecution for all crimes committed during his 33-year rule.

Security across Yemen, the Arab world's poorest country, has collapsed during the 11-month uprising, and Yemen's active al-Qaida branch has seized territory in the country's south.

Inspired by the uprisings across the Arab world, Yemenis have been taking to the streets in huge numbers, calling for Saleh's ouster. Security forces have often responded with deadly force, killing more than 200 demonstrators, spurring calls that Saleh be put on trial for allegedly ordering the killings, as well as for alleged corruption.

In November, Saleh signed a U.S.-backed deal brokered by Yemen's powerful Persian Gulf neighbors to transfer power to his vice president in exchange for immunity. Protesters say the deal doesn't address their demands for wider political reform in the country.

Human rights groups object to the immunity law, saying it stands in the way of justice for a corrupt regime with a long history of rights violations.
