Wednesday, December 12, 2007 at 8:18 AM Jessica Alba Is Pregnant WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 12, 2007 05:55 AM EST Jessica Alba is pregnant with boyfriend Cash Warren's child, her rep tells PEOPLE exclusively. "I can confirm that Jessica and Cash are expecting a baby in late spring, early summer," says rep Brad Cafarelli. Alba, 26, has dated Warren, 28, since the fall of 2004 after they met on the set of The Fantastic Four, on which Warren was a director's assistant. The couple have been seen being affectionate together in Los Angeles in recent days, shopping for mattresses last Saturday and attending a Lakers game, where they were spotted kissing Sunday. Alba has also starred in Sin City and the recent Awake. Her upcoming films are The Eye and The Love Guru. Before the pregnancy announcement, she said she was in talks to make her Broadway premiere this summer in a revival of playwright David Mamet's Speed-the-Plow. —pookie |

Wednesday, December 12, 2007 at 10:10 AM "w00t Crowned Word of the Year by US Dictionary" BOSTON (Reuters) - "w00t," an expression of joy coined by online gamers, was crowned word of the year on Tuesday by the publisher of a leading U.S. dictionary. Massachusetts-based Merriam-Webster Inc. said "w00t" -- typically spelled with two zeros -- reflects a new direction in the American language led by a generation raised on video games and cell phone text-messaging. It's like saying "yay," the dictionary said. "It could be after a triumph or for no reason at all," Merriam-Webster said. Visitors to Merriam-Webster's Web site were invited to vote for one of 20 words and phrases culled from the most frequently looked-up words on the site and submitted by readers. Runner-up was "facebook" as a new verb meaning to add someone to a list of friends on the Web site Facebook.com or to search for people on the social networking site. Merriam-Webster President John Morse said "w00t" reflected the growing use of numeric keyboards to type words. "People look for self-evident numeral-letter substitutions: 0 for O; 3 for E; 7 for T; and 4 for A," he said. "This is simply a different and more efficient way of representing the alphabetical character." One Web site, www.thinkgeek.com, already sells T-shirts with the word "w00t" printed on the front. "w00t belongs to gamers the world over. It seems to have been derived from the obsolete 'whoot' which essentially is another way to say 'hoot' which itself is a shout or derisive laugh," Think Geek said on its Web site. "But others maintain that w00t is the sound several players make while jumping like bunnies in Quake III," it added, referring to a popular video game. Online gamers often replace numbers and symbols with letters to form what Merriam-Webster calls an "esoteric computer hacker language" known as "l33t speak." This translates into "leet", which is short for "elite". A separate survey of words used in the media and on the Internet by California-based Global Language Monitor produced a different set of winners on Tuesday. "Hybrid" took top honors as word of the year with "climate change" the top phrase. Global Language Monitor, which uses an algorithm to track words and phrases in the media and on the Internet, said "hybrid" had broad connotations of "all things green from biodiesel to wearing clothes made of soy to global warming." Runner-up was "surge," based on the "surge" of 30,000 extra U.S. troops deployed to Iraq since mid-June, followed by the word "Bluetooth," a technology used to connect electronic devices via radio waves. "The English language is becoming more and more a globalized language every year," said Global Language Monitor president Paul Payack, noting that this year's list included words also culled from India, Singapore, China and Australia. —mandeemoo22 |

Wednesday, December 12, 2007 at 2:22 PM UPS Saved 3 million gallons of gas....By not turning left Article Tools Sponsored By By JOEL LOVELL Published: December 9, 2007 It seems that sitting in the left lane, engine idling, waiting for oncoming traffic to clear so you can make a left-hand turn, is minutely wasteful — of time and peace of mind, for sure, but also of gas and therefore money. Not a ton of gas and money if we’re talking about just you and your Windstar, say, but immensely wasteful if we’re talking about more than 95,000 big square brown trucks delivering packages every day. And this realization — that when you operate a gigantic fleet of vehicles, tiny improvements in the efficiency of each one will translate to huge savings overall — is what led U.P.S. to limit further the number of left-hand turns its drivers make. The company employs what it calls a “package flow” software program, which among other hyperefficient practices
involving the packing and sorting of its cargo, maps out routes for every one of its drivers, drastically reducing the number of left-hand turns they make (taking into consideration, of course, those instances where not to make the left-hand turn would result in a ridiculously circuitous route). Last year, according to Heather Robinson, a U.P.S. spokeswoman, the software helped the company shave 28.5 million
miles off its delivery routes, which has resulted in savings of roughly three million gallons of gas and has reduced CO2 emissions by 31,000 metric tons. So what can Brown do for you? We can’t speak to how good or bad they are in the parcel-delivery world, but they won’t be clogging up the left-hand lane while they do their business.

Wednesday, December 12, 2007 at 3:18 PM She just wanted to dress like us, just like a normal person." #1286707 - 12/12/07 05:37 AM Edit post Edit Reply to this post Reply Reply to this post Quote Quick Reply Quick Reply What the....? This is insane. Father killed daughter for not wearing hijab, her friends say
Dec 11 12:56 PM US/Eastern Friends and classmates of a 16-year-old girl who police say was murdered by her devout Muslim father in a Toronto suburb told local media Tuesday she was killed for not wearing a hijab. Police said in a statement they received an emergency call at 7:55 am local time Monday from "a man who indicated that he had just killed his daughter." The victim, Aqsa Parvez, was "rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries, but tragically passed away late last night." Her father, Muhammad Parvez, 57, was arrested at the scene and will be formally charged with murder when he appears in court Wednesday, said police. The girl's friends, meanwhile, told local media she was having trouble at home because she did not conform to the family's religious beliefs and refused to wear a traditional Islamic head scarf, or hijab. "She wanted to go different ways than her family wanted to go, and she wanted to make her own path, but he (her father) wouldn't let her," one of her classmates told public broadcaster CBC. "She loved clothes," another of her friends, Dominiquia Holmes-Thompson, told the daily Toronto Star. "She just wanted to show her beauty ... She just wanted to dress like us, just like a normal person." According to her friends, Aqsa had worn the hijab at school last year, but rebelled in recent months. They said she would leave home wearing a hijab and loose-fitting clothes, but would take off her head scarf and change into tighter garments at school, then change back before going home at the end of the day. The victim's 26 year-old brother was also charged with obstructing police in the investigation. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=071211175557.p3d3kaah&show_article=1 Post Extras: Print Post Remind Me!

Monday, December 17, 2007 at 12:36 PM SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOCKING! Pam Anderson files for divorce after 2 months - CNN.com LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- It seems like only two months ago that Pamela Anderson was aglow with happiness over her quickie Las Vegas wedding to Rick Salomon. Actually, it was. But the 40-year-old ex-"Baywatch" beauty has filed for divorce from her 38-year-old husband after just two months of marriage. Anderson cited irreconcilable differences in papers filed Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The documents were first obtained by the celebrity Web site CelebTV.com. Anderson and Salomon wed October 6 during a break between the 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. shows of "Hans Klok's The Beauty of Magic" at Planet Hollywood resort, where Anderson was starring as a magician's assistant. The couple separated less than 10 weeks later, on December 13. Salomon is best known for making a sex videotape with Paris Hilton, his girlfriend at the time, and was previously married to actress Shannen Doherty. Anderson was previously married to singer Kid Rock and Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee. —pookie |

Monday, December 17, 2007 at 7:31 PM MONTREAL (AFP) - After catching his 15-year-old smoking pot, a father sold the hard-to-get "Guitar Hero III" video game he bought his son for 90 dollars for Christmas at an online auction, fetching 9,000 dollars. ADVERTISEMENT The sale took place after the father spent two weeks searching for the video game for the Nintendo Wii gameboard. "So I was so relieved in that I had finally got the Holy Grail of Christmas presents pretty much just in the nick of time. I couldn't wait to spread the jubilance to my son," the father wrote on the eBay website. "Then, yesterday, I came home from work early and what do I find? My innocent little boy smoking pot in the back yard with two of his delinquent friends." The man, a school teacher, who kept his identity private, said he sold the coveted video game to punish his son and discourage him from smoking dope. The sale was a boon for the family's bank account, since the game the father purchased for 90 dollars (US) was finally sold to an Australian who plunked down 9,100 dollars for it. The naughty son, however, will not go without a present on Christmas. "I am still considering getting him a game for his Nintendo. Maybe something like Barbie as the Island Princess or Dancing with the Stars ... I know he will just love them," the father said, tongue-in-cheek. —000 |

I've always felt that way about computers and technology, but it was never more clear to me than last time I went to the dentist. Minus modern technology, you've got no anesthetic (so lots of pain), no ceramics or modern adhesives or mold-making materials (so no nice / long-lasting crowns and fillings), and no antibiotics or modern toothpaste / Sonicare / general oral hygiene. All of that together adds up to a mouth full of holes and rotten teeth that cause pain no matter what you happen to be doing, with no way to fix them that doesn't cause excruciating pain - plus the risk of dying from an infected tooth. Fuck the 1800s. Hell - fuck the 1990s for that matter (and in about ten or twenty years, I'll be saying fuck the '00s for the same reason). —anobody |

Wednesday, December 19, 2007 at 9:15 PM E.P.A. Says 17 States Can’t Set Emission Rules for Cars By JOHN M. BRODER and FELICITY BARRINGER (New York Times) WASHINGTON — The Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday denied California and 16 other states the right to set their own standards for carbon dioxide emissions from automobiles.The E.P.A. administrator, Stephen L. Johnson, said the proposed California rules were pre-empted by federal authority and made moot by the energy bill signed into law by President Bush on Wednesday. Mr. Johnson said California had failed to make a compelling case that it needed authority to write its own standards for greenhouse gas emissions from cars and trucks to help curb global warming. The decision immediately provoked a heated debate over its scientific basis and whether political pressure was applied by the automobile industry to help it escape the proposed California regulations. Officials from the states and numerous environmental groups vowed to sue to overturn the edict. In an evening conference call with reporters, Mr. Johnson defended his agency’s decision. “The Bush administration is moving forward with a clear national solution, not a confusing patchwork of state rules,” he said. “I believe this is a better approach than if individual states were to act alone.” The 17 states — including New York, New Jersey and Connecticut — had waited two years for the Bush administration to issue a ruling on an application to set stricter air quality standards than those adopted by the federal government. The decision, technically known as a Clean Air Act waiver, was the first time California was refused permission to impose its own pollution rules; the federal government had previously granted the state more than 50 waivers. The emissions standards California proposed in 2004 — but never approved by the federal government — would have forced automakers to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent in new cars and light trucks by 2016, with the cutbacks to begin in 2009 models. That would have translated into roughly 43 miles per gallon for cars and some light trucks and about 27 miles per gallon for heavier trucks and sport utility vehicles. The new federal law will require automakers to meet a 35-mile-per-gallon fleetwide standard for cars and trucks sold in the United States by 2020. It does not address carbon dioxide emissions, but such emissions would be reduced as cars were forced to become more fuel efficient. California’s proposed rules had sought to address the impact of carbon dioxide and other pollutants from cars and trucks that scientists say contribute to the warming of the planet. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger of California said the states would go to federal court to reverse the E.P.A. decision. “It is disappointing that the federal government is standing in our way and ignoring the will of tens of millions of people across the nation,” Mr. Schwarzenegger said. “We will continue to fight this battle.” He added, “California sued to compel the agency to act on our waiver, and now we will sue to overturn today’s decision and allow Californians to protect our environment.” Twelve other states — New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington — had proposed standards like California’s, and the governors of Arizona, Colorado, Florida and Utah said they would do the same. If the waiver had been granted and the 16 other states had adopted the California standard, it would have covered at least half of all vehicles sold in the United States. Automakers praised the decision. “We commend E.P.A. for protecting a national, 50-state program,” said David McCurdy, president of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers. “Enhancing energy security and improving fuel economy are priorities to all automakers, but a patchwork quilt of inconsistent and competing fuel economy programs at the state level would only have created confusion, inefficiency and uncertainty for automakers and consumers.” Industry analysts and environmental groups said the E.P.A. decision had the appearance of a reward to the industry, in return for dropping its opposition to the energy legislation. Auto industry leaders issued statements supporting the new energy law, which gives them more time to improve fuel economy than California would have. The California attorney general, Edmund G. Brown Jr., called the decision “absurd.” He said the decision ignored a long history of waivers granted California to deal with its special topographical, climate and transportation circumstances, which require tougher air quality standards than those set nationally. Mr. Brown noted that federal courts in California and Vermont upheld the California standards this year against challenges by the auto industry. Senator Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat, said: “I find this disgraceful. The passage of the energy bill does not give the E.P.A a green light to shirk its responsibility to protect the health and safety of the American people from air pollution.” Representative Henry A. Waxman, Democrat of California and chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said the E.P.A. decision defied law, science and common sense. He said his committee would investigate how the decision had been made and would seek to reverse it. Richard Blumenthal, the attorney general of Connecticut, called the ruling a “mockery of law and sound public policy.” Andrew M. Cuomo, the New York attorney general, said the state would challenge the decision. Mr. Johnson, the E.P.A. administrator, cited federal law, not science, as the underpinning of his decision. “Climate change affects everyone regardless of where greenhouse gases occur, so California is not exclusive,” he said. Mary Nichols, the head of the California Air Resources Board, which had geared up to enforce the proposed emissions rules on 2009-model cars, said the reasoning was flawed. “Thirty-five miles per gallon is not the same thing as a comprehensive program for reducing greenhouse gases,” Ms. Nichols said. David Doniger, a lawyer for the Natural Resources Defense Council, said that since 1984, the agency has not distinguished between local, national and international air pollution. “All the smog problems that California has are shared with other states, just like the global warming problems they have are shared with other states,” he said.

Whale 'missing link' discovered By Helen Briggs Science reporter, BBC News
The whale is descended from a deer-like animal that lived 48 million years ago, according to fossil evidence. Remains found in the Kashmir region of India suggest the fox-sized mammal is the long-sought land-based ancestor of whales, dolphins and porpoises. Research in Nature suggests the animal lived mainly on land but dived into water to escape predators. Whales are known to be descended from land-dwellers but the "missing link" has been a mystery until now. Although Indonyus, as it is known, looks nothing like the whales of today, it shares certain anatomical features. The structures of its skull and ear are similar to those of early whales, and like other animals that spend a lot of time in water, it had thickened bones that provided ballast to keep its feet anchored in shallow water. "We've found the closest extinct relative to whales and it is closer than any living relative," said study leader Professor Hans Thewissen of the Department of Anatomy at Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine in Ohio, US. Hippo link Indonyus belongs to an ancient order of mammals that had two or four toes on each foot. Modern day representatives of the group include camels, pigs, and hippopotamuses. DNA studies show that hippos are in fact closely related to modern whales. They do not appear in the fossil record, however, until about 15 million years ago, some 35 million years after the cetaceans originated in south Asia. This led Professor Thewissen and his team to search for an older land-based ancestor that would fill in some of the gaps in our knowledge of the whale's dramatic evolutionary journey from land to sea. After seeing loose teeth and fragments of jaw bones found by the late Indian geologist A Ranga Rao some 25 years ago, Professor Thewissen obtained rock samples from Rao's private collection. They harboured a treasure trove of complete Indohyus fossils, including skulls and leg bones. Dietary clues The stable-oxygen-isotope composition of its teeth suggest that the animal spent much of its time in water. Some have assumed that the ancestor of whales first took to the water to feed on fish but the latest evidence suggests otherwise. "The new model is that initially they were small deer-like animals that took to the water to avoid predators," Professor Thewissen told BBC News. "Then they started living in water, and then they switched their diet to become carnivores." Although the behaviour and habits of Indohyus appear somewhat strange, there is a modern day parallel in the African mousedeer (chevrotain). The mousedeer lives on land, but is known to leap into the water to avoid predators such as eagles. —mandeemoo22 |

Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 6:15 PM Teacher Arrested After Offering Good Grades For Oral Sex Thursday, December 20, 2007 BARTOW, Fla. -- Police say a Bartow High School student hoping to improve her math grades through extra credit instead got a lewd request from her teacher. Isaac Nathan Tillis was arrested after repeatedly telling student she could earn an "A" if she gave him oral sex. He lured the girl into a teacher's lounge bathroom on Wednesday, but once inside police and the girl sprung a trap. The 16-year-old was wearing a hidden listening device, which recorded Tillis' proposition after he dropped his pants, police say. The 29-year-old teacher had also scribbled his request on a hall pass, an arrest report states. Officers arrested Tillis and charged him with soliciting a lewd sex act from a minor.

Saturday, December 22, 2007 at 11:12 AM US 'penis photo doctor' loses job A surgeon who allegedly took a photo of a patient's penis during an operation at a US hospital is no longer working there, it has been announced. Dr Adam Hansen, of Arizona's Mayo Clinic Hospital, is accused of taking the snap while conducting gallbladder surgery earlier in December. The chief of general surgery allegedly showed the photo to fellow surgeons. The patient is a strip club owner, Sean Dubowik, whose penis is tattooed with the words "Hot Rod". A member of the surgical staff tipped off local newspaper The Arizona Republic about the incident in an anonymous call on Monday. The announcement that he was "no longer practising" at the Mayo clinic was posted on the hospital's website. It is not clear whether he resigned or was dismissed. 'Great outrage' On the same day, Mr Dubowik, 37, learned about the photo when the Nobel Prize-winning clinic, based in Scottsdale, telephoned him. The businessman said: "I got a strange call after my surgery from a doctor who said there was a problem. He said Hansen was on the phone and would explain." Mr Dubowik said that the surgeon confessed to having used his mobile phone to take the picture while inserting a catheter into his penis. The patient, who said the tattoo was done for a $1,000 (£500) bet, continued: "Now I feel violated, betrayed and disgusted. "The longer I sit here the angrier I get." —mandeemoo22 |

Saturday, December 22, 2007 at 12:46 PM OMG TOPANGA! NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Former child star Danielle Fishel, a teen heartthrob on ABC's "Boy Meets World," was arrested this week on a drunken driving warrant from Los Angeles County, police said. Fishel was arrested Thursday just before 5 a.m. after officers stopped a car she was in, said Newport Beach Sgt. James Rocker. She was released from jail shortly after her arrest. Fishel grew up in Yorba Linda and spent more than seven years playing Topanga, the love interest of "Boy Meets World" star Ben Savage. In 2006, Fishel became the spokeswoman for NutriSystem after she announced on The Tyra Banks show that she was so thrilled about losing 20 pounds with the diet program that she wanted to be the company's spokeswoman. In February, Fishel became a special correspondent for the Tyra Banks show. —mandeemoo22 |

Tuesday, December 25, 2007 at 7:57 PM SAN FRANCISCO, California (CNN) -- An escaped tiger attacked and killed a zoo patron Tuesday afternoon in a cafe at the San Francisco Zoo, a spokeswoman for the San Francisco Fire Department told CNN. art.tiger.victim.kgo.jpg A San Francisco Zoo visitor attacked by an escaped tiger is carried away on a stretcher. The tiger was shot and killed after attacking two other visitors, Mindy Talmadge said. Both of the victims were transported to San Francisco General Hospital with life-threatening injuries, she said. A spokeswoman at the hospital would not give out any information about the victims. "Apparently, right around closing time -- there was a pen with four tigers in it -- one of the tigers got out," Talmadge said. "The tiger went into a cafe at the zoo and attacked a patron. That person ended up dying at the scene." Police arrived on the scene as the tiger attacked two other patrons, Talmadge said. Don't Miss * I-Report: Did you see the tiger drama? "They shot the tiger, and the tiger is deceased," she said. Talmadge said the 125-acre zoo was locked down after the incident and all the facility's other animals were accounted for, including three other tigers that had been in the same enclosure with the escaped tiger. Initially, officials feared some or all of the other tigers may have escaped, but later determined they had not, Talmadge said. The 78-year-old zoo closed at 5 p.m. PT, and authorities received word of the escaped tiger at about 5:15 p.m. Police, fire and zoo officials remain on the scene investigating, Talmadge said. A year ago, one of the zoo's Siberian tigers attacked a keeper during a public feeding. The keeper survived and recovered from her injuries. California's Division of Occupation Safety and Health later determined that the zoo was at fault in the incident because of hazardous conditions in the Lion House, which houses the zoo's large cats, and lack of specialized safety training for employees. The zoo made OSH-ordered changes. The Lion House was closed for more than six months after that incident. The zoo has Siberian tigers and rarer and smaller Sumatran tigers. It was not clear which subspecies of tiger was involved in the incident. E-mail to a friend E-mail to a friend * Share this on: del.icio.us Share —000 |

Wednesday, December 26, 2007 at 4:21 PM I've always thought it would be cool to have a monkey or a parrot for a pet, because you can teach them to do things and say things (at least you can teach the parrot to say things). I went to a store this afternoon that had a parrot outside that said stuff, like "Hello". They should get one and teach it to swear, that would be funny. Everytime someone walks by it could say "fuck you" or "asshole" or something. —John Lennon |

Wednesday, December 26, 2007 at 4:51 PM Edited Wednesday, December 26, 2007 at 4:55 PM A monkey seems like it'd be a great pet... until you realize that they have no control over their bowels, they like to fling poo, they have a propensity toward biting people's fingers, they're more dependent than dogs, and they're smart little bastards with an impish sense of humor that will often land you on the losing side of their slapstick. *edit* actually parrots are mean little fuckers too.

Wednesday, December 26, 2007 at 8:47 PM In response to the San Francisco escaped tiger incident, the geniuses at the Detroit Zoo put out this reassuring tidbit: Detroit Zoo: Tiger Escape Impossible ROYAL OAK, Mich. -- News of an escaped tiger killing an onlooker at the San Francisco Zoo on Tuesday has some local people wondering about the safety of the tiger exhibit at the Detroit Zoo in Royal Oak. The Detroit Zoo has a setup very similar to the one in San Francisco, 21 feet across with a 15-foot-deep moat. Zoo officials said that it is physically impossible for a tiger to escape. Police investigators in San Francisco, who consider the zoo a crime scene, were trying to determine whether the big cat could have gotten out of its enclosure on its own or whether it had some help. Still, there is a danger from these carnivores who still have the instincts of a tiger in the wild even though they were born in captivity. Detroit has had a few escapes, but never anything serious, officials said. (Uh, what was that last part again?)
