Decoration | |

It is said that Mark Sutton (ITV) is one of the best F1 photographers around. I really didn't care until I found out that Mark also likes to point his camera at the decoration. I am convinced of his qualities and I'm sure you will agree after seeing the top 90 of his pitbabes collection.

Elvis Presley: the Nazi |
|
Almost 28 years after his death, fans of the King of Rock, Elvis Presley, can now see their icon in a radically different light; that as a Nazi.
The legend is seen wearing a Nazi cap and giving a Nazi salute in some pictures taken from a grainy half-hour home cine film. The pictures, believed to be from the sixties, were taken during a boat trip with friends and have surfaced at the same time as Presley's ex-wife Priscilla released his home movies. "I was given it ages ago, I think when I used to own a bar. But I had never watched it. It wasn't until I found it in the loft that I decided to. When I did I was shocked," Mark Vernon, who owns the tape, was quoted as saying. Can you say Prince Harry? |

Who's wasting away in Hollywood? |
|
While paging through your favorite celebrity magazine, do you suddenly and uncontrollably crave salty snacks? You're not alone. Just looking at the diminishing bodies of some of our favorite starlets sends us running for the Funyons. The gaunt look remains stubbornly popular in Hollywood, where carb avoidance could be an Olympic sport. But since when does "sexy" mean jutting clavicles, noggins better suited to bobbing on a dashboard and arms so twig-like birds could build nests out of them? We're not expecting the return of the Marilyn Monroe hourglass, but lollipop is not a shape to aspire to.

Death Row inmate asks to donate liver |
|
A convicted murderer scheduled to be executed next week asked the Indiana Parole Board to grant him clemency or at least enough time to donate his liver to his ailing sister.
"My sister is sick, she needs a liver," Gregory Scott Johnson said during a hearing Monday at the Indiana State Prison. "At this point, everything else--including my own life--is secondary to trying to help her if I can. I'm not so much asking for clemency as just a little more time to see if my liver will work for her." |

Map Reveals Wind Power Potential |
|
Wind power could generate enough electricity to support the world's energy needs several times over, according to a new map of global wind speeds that scientists say is the first of its kind.
The map, compiled by researchers at Stanford University, shows wind speeds at more than 8,000 sites around the world. The researchers found that at least 13 percent of those sites experience winds fast enough to power a modern wind turbine. If turbines were set up in all these regions, they would generate 72 terawatts of electricity, according to the researchers. That's more than five times the world's energy needs, which was roughly 14 terawatts in 2002, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. The researchers readily admit that existing buildings, land rights and other obstacles would make it impossible to set up turbines in every single one of the identified regions. But they point out that even 20 percent of those sites could satisfy world energy consumption as it stands today. |

Serena's Guide to Phallomancy |
|
Welcome to Phallomancy, a very unusual and obscure form of body reading. We are all familiar with hand and face reading. But other forms such as podomancy (foot reading), telaesthesia, mammomancy and phallomancy seem right out there. But despite their apparent oddity, these have long been seen as legitimate forms of divination.
Believe it or not, phallomancy is an authentic form of body reading with its own ancient traditions. Traditional knowledge of phallomancy has been around for thousands of years in India and Tibet, even China, but it is difficult to find out very much information. However, I have been able to develop enough information to allow every visitor to do their own readings. |

Exhibitionists pull for thrills in library |
|
Books and women it's apparently an exhibitionist's dream come true.
Two or three times a quarter, female Northwestern students studying at University Library, Evanston Public Library, Borders Books & Music or Barnes & Noble look up to see unknown men masturbating near them. Most of these men do it just for the thrill of being seen, said an NU psychiatry professor. A female student saw an unknown man masturbating about 10 feet away from her while she was studying in the reference section of the University Library two weeks ago, according to University Police. The student looked away after she first noticed the offender and the offender was gone when she looked back up. |

Apple, Intel Rumored To Be in Talks |

A deal with Intel, said one report, could possibly result in Apple computers being sold at less expensive prices, which would better position them alongside the traditionally cheaper computers using Microsoft's operating systems.
Apple Computer Inc.'s computers could eventually be outfitted with chips from Intel Corp., according to reports. The two companies are reportedly in talks that, if fruitful, could result in Apple joining old nemesis Microsoft Corp. in using Intel's computer chips . According to some sources, Apple and Intel have had on-and-off talks for years, but the rumor mill is apparently picking up steam. |

What Bird Brains Can Tell Us |
|
Based on the work of linguist Noam Chomsky, scientists now believe human language ability also is in large part innate -- flexible until puberty when the ability to absorb languages is great, then much more restricted by rules learned in adulthood.
Humans have long assumed one of the things that separates us from the lower animals is the quality of our minds. Our view of the capacity of animal minds has been heavily influenced for the past 400 years by Rene Descartes, who argued in part that since animals lack linguistic capability, they lack a mental life. Descartes thought that animals were simply automata made of meat. Even Descartes may not have been convinced completely of his own opinions, since he kept a small dog himself, breed unknown, one Monsieur Grat, of whom he was very fond. |

Iranian woman 'gives birth to frog' |
|
An Iranian newspaper has reported the controversial story of a woman who claims to have given birth to a frog.
The Iranian daily Etemaad says the creature is believed to have grown from larva to an adult frog inside her body. While it is unclear how this could have happened, the paper carries quotes from medical experts who say there are human characteristics to the animal. It has been speculated that the woman, who has not been named, unknowingly picked up the larva while she was swimming in a dirty pool. The woman, from the south-eastern city of Iranshahr, is a mother of two children. |

Laser as Hot as the Sun |
|
Ed Moses talks of the "grand challenge" that has consumed him for the past five years, comparing it to trying to hit the strike zone with a baseball from 350 miles away or tossing a dime into a parking meter from 40 miles.
"That's the precision we have to have," says Moses, the director of a high-energy physics adventure to produce the world's most powerful laser -- one that scientists hope will create in a laboratory the energy found at the center of the sun. In a building the size of a football stadium, engineers have assembled the framework for a network of 192 laser beams, each traveling 1,000 feet to converge simultaneously on a target the size of a pencil eraser. The trip will take one-thousandth of a second during which the light's energy is amplified many billions of times to create a brief laser pulse 1,000 times the electric generating power of the United States. The goal is to create unimaginable heat -- 180 million degrees Farenheit -- and intense pressure from all directions on a BB-size hydrogen fuel pellet, compressing it to one-thirtieth of its size. The result, the scientists hope, will be a fusing of atoms so that more energy is released than is generated by the laser beams, something scientists call fusion ignition. It is what happens when a hydrogen bomb explodes. |

Cellphedia Melds Facts with Mobile Smart Mobs |
|
When you need a quick fact at the office, you can always lift your head above "the cubes" and broadcast your request to your fellow workers -- or you can reach for your cell phone and send a message to Cellphedia.
Inspired by Wikipedia, the all-volunteer, online community encyclopedia, and Dodgeball, a cell phone-based social networking service, Cellphedia allows its members to broadcast questions to its community and receive answers, all through a mobile phone. Registration for the service is free at the Cellphedia Web site. After registering, members choose areas that they're interested in -- art, architecture, food, music, etc. A member can ask a question in any area, but the questions go to people who have chosen the area as one that interests them. Questions and answers are sent and received using SMS text messaging on a cell phone. A compilation of questions and answers sent through the service is maintained at the Cellphedia Web site. Cellphedia is the cerebral offspring of Limor Garcia. She created the site as part of her graduate thesis at New York University's Interactive Telecommunications Program. So far, money isn't in the picture, but Garcia said she might have to look for funding sources if the service scales up. "The more I work on this, the more I realize that as it grows, it might be close to impossible for me to do this without some funding because it's going to take up a lot of my time," she said. |

A looming boom in in-game advertising got industry pooh-bahs drooling at E3, with marketers and game execs salivating over the prospect of colonizing one of pop-culture's last virgin territories.
In-game ads seem to be a terrific investment. Mitchell Davis, CEO of Massive, a company that connects game companies with advertisers, told an audience Thursday that his studies show in-game ads boost brand recognition by 23 percent to 35 percent. By comparison, he explained, a good television campaign might net a 6 percent to 8 percent brand lift. |

Critic takes on logic of female orgasm | |
|
Evolutionary scientists have never had difficulty explaining the male orgasm, closely tied as it is to reproduction.
But the Darwinian logic behind the female orgasm has remained elusive. Women can have sexual intercourse and even become pregnant - doing their part for the perpetuation of the species - without experiencing orgasm. So what is its evolutionary purpose? Over the last four decades, scientists have come up with a variety of theories, arguing, for example, that orgasm encourages women to have sex and, therefore, reproduce, or that it leads women to favor stronger and healthier men, maximizing their offspring's chances of survival. But now they say the female orgasm is only there for fun. | |

'Super Size Me' turns to TV |
|
The man who made a hit movie out of eating McDonald's fast food for a month has filmed a "fundamentalist Christian" man living as a Muslim to find out what it's like to face the prejudice that many Muslims in America deal with since Sept. 11.
The experiment is part of "Super Size Me" Director Morgan Spurlock's new reality TV show "30 Days," which places people in a variety of unfamiliar circumstances for 30 days. Spurlock made his name with the Oscar-nominated documentary "Super Size Me," about the impact on his health of a month's diet of McDonald's burgers, shakes, chicken nuggets and soda. In one episode of the new TV show, a conservative straight man tries living with a gay roommate. In another, a mother turns to binge-drinking to send a warning to her daughter. Spurlock puts himself to the test by living on minimum wage. |

Riddle of pianist who will not speak |
|
He was found soaking wet in the middle of the night, unable to speak and dressed in an expensive dinner suit.
The only real clue to his identity is an astonishing talent for the piano. The 6ft musician — dubbed The Piano Man — is believed to have suffered a nervous breakdown which has deprived him of his memory and left him unable to communicate except through drawings and a remarkable ability for music. Two police officers discovered him stumbling along a road near a beach in Sheerness, Kent, during a storm last month. Police said that he was soaked to the skin, possibly from the heavy rain, but his clothes were so drenched that they thought he may have been in the sea. |

Disney: "Lindsay Lohan's Breasts Are Too Big" |

Obviously completely unaware of the concept of 'something for the dads', the assembled suits have come to the conclusion that 'Lindsay's breasts were too big and some necklines were too low'. Scrabbling together a few coppers from the petty cash jar, they've now gone ahead and 'spent millions of dollars on CGI effects to raise her necklines and lower her cup size.' |

Calabrese is one of 14 alleged mobsters who were indicted two weeks ago, at the conclusion of a long-running FBI investigation. Among those fingered are Frank "Gumba" Saladino, Paul "The Indian" Schiro, Frank "The German" Schweihs, and the apparent kingpin of the Chicago mafia, Joseph "Joey the Clown" Lombardo. Where do mobsters get their nicknames?

'The Boss' will kill you with his chainsaw |
|
When Bruce Springsteen descended on the Oakland Paramount Theatre last Thursday, to the howls and cheers of his apostles, he issued his first commandment of the night: “Turn the cell phones off, ‘cause I don’t want to charge through the crowd with a chainsaw; and try not to clap, or you’ll throw off my already tenuous sense of time.” With that, Springsteen began a night of incredible intimacy with the fans who have come to see him as the Messiah of a reborn rock.
He delivered a rock revival completely solo to celebrate the release of his new album, “Devils & Dust.” And this time, he wants people to listen. And the Boss’s wishes were obeyed. There was no clapping or dancing. Instead, the audience followed his command and sat absorbing the power of his songs. |

Tiger Cubs Breastfed by Woman Die |

Two Bengal tiger cubs that were breastfed by a woman for nearly six weeks have died of dehydration in a zoo in Burma, according to a report.
The cubs were taken from their mother after she killed one of their siblings and refused to nurse them. Hla Hla, 40, the mother of a seven-month-old baby and relative of an employee at Rangoon zoo, had volunteered to breastfeed the cubs when bottle feeding failed. “We tried our best to save their lives but they have been deprived of their natural mother’s milk, and their livers could not accept human milk,” according to the Interview journal, quoting Dr Khin Maung Win of the Rangoon Zoological Garden. |

The Loudest Band in the World |
|
They call themselves "The Loudest Band in the World", and claim to hold the Guinness World Record for 129dB on-stage heavy metal. Reinforced exclusively by NEXO, American band Manowar has recently completed an ear-splitting tour of Europe, playing 35 shows in 11 countries to audiences of up to 8000 people.
The sound was provided by leading German PA company Ultraschall, a 36-stack NEXO Alpha system with 24x CAMCO Vortex 6 digital amplifiers, and FOH-mixed by Manowar engineer Jeff Hair, using a Yamaha PM4K. "Manowar is one of the biggest US acts to be serviced by a German sound company this year," explains Ultraschall's sound designer Jesko Purmann. "This tour has been a great success for us. Manowar frontman Joey DeMaio has commended our crew, particularly PA Tech. Michael “Miwe” Wengerter and Monitor Tech. Ingo Thürauf, for their work, and Jeff Hair has been really impressed by the powerful, precise and clear sound of the Alpha rig." |

Bill Gates sees mobile phones overtaking iPods |

Microsoft founder Bill Gates sees mobile phones overtaking MP3s as the top choice of portable music player, and views the raging popularity of Apple's iPod player as unsustainable, he told a German newspaper.
"As good as Apple may be, I don't believe the success of the iPod is sustainable in the long run," he said in an interview published in Thursday's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. You can make parallels with computers: Apple was very strong in this field before, with its Macintosh and its graphics user interface -- like the iPod today -- and then lost its position," Gates said. |

How to Be Famous in Ten Easy Steps |

I used to joke with my friends about how easy it would be to pretend that you're famous. All you really needed was a couple of big dudes in black suits and another guy -- the player -- in a dark pair of sunglasses. It seemed like a surefire way to pick up chicks.
So we finally did it, with a little help from my friends at the Houston Press. In the span of five weeks we went to five different clubs, never had to pay cover and had a helluva time. Anybody can do it. All it takes is a few friends, some nice clothes and a whole lot of nerve. That, and these ten lessons. |

Legs Raise Eyebrows |

People in Henderson, N.C. are talking about the massive sculpture of a woman's legs, spread open on Welcome Avenue.
At first glance, it looks more like something you'd find at a strip club, instead of a quiet neighborhood. A backhoe contractor, Ricky Pearce poured concrete into hand-drawn molds to create the 40-ton, 17-foot-high legs. Then, he lifted them into place with a crane. "The project took about three years," Pearce said. "I was inspired by Marilyn Monroe's legs, with the skirt blowing." |

Maranello: The home of Ferrari |
|
This is a story about a trip to the car enthusiasts’ Mecca, Maranello. It’s the place we have read about since we were kids, where they build the cars that still have the most evocative badge in the world, Ferrari.
The omens are good right from the start. BAR F1 star Takuma Sato is on the flight from Heathrow to Bologna, so we quickly put together a conspiracy theory that he is paying a discrete visit to the home of the prancing horse. He is whisked away from the airport and we see nothing more of him. The Planet Hotel is bang opposite the old factory gates. Underneath is the Ferrari store, selling everything from overpriced mugs and T-shirts to small bits of bodywork from crashed F1 cars. Across the car park, in a nondescript yellow building, is the F1 operation. We eat pasta and veal that night in the Montana restaurant up the road, walls lovingly adorned with pictures of Michael Schumacher helping out in the kitchen, and countless images of past drivers, their helmets and overalls displayed around the walls. This place is a shrine. |

Broadband through Gas, Seriously | |
|
For starters, guys I would like to say, that I am not making this up. A San Diego-start-up, Nethercomm Corp., which has no trial partners or no known venture capital backers, is promising that it can deliver up to 10 gigabits per second broadband using natural gas pipelines.
The idea here is to encode the broadband signals using ultra wideband and beam them through the pipeline, and then at the gas meter, the signal is offloaded (using Nethercomm equipment off course) to on-the-premise wireline or wireless networks. The company, which lists Patrick and Ann Munally as co-founders, thinks this is a neat work around the current restrictions on the UWB for now. Since the wireless transmitters are in the pipeline, it is a closed environment. The company explains that its technology needs no modifications to the existing natural gas distribution infrastructures. | |

The Top Employers for M.B.A. Students |
|
When they envision their dream jobs, most M.B.A. students don't get all starry-eyed and idealistic.
Instead, they take a very pragmatic view and set their sights on the companies that happen to be paying the most and hiring the most. That attitude is apparent in the results of a new survey that asked M.B.A.s to name their "ideal" employers. In the annual study, students awarded higher popularity scores this year to nearly all of the management-consulting and financial-services companies, many of which have flocked back to campus with more jobs and fatter paychecks. While they have traditionally been magnets for M.B.A.s, banks and consultants became scarce on campus during the bleak job market of the past few years, and some dropped in the ranking produced by Universum Communications, a research and consulting firm that surveyed more than 4,700 M.B.A.s at 50 U.S. schools. |

Two seniors at this rural Florida Panhandle community's only public school have been suspended and others were punished after they violated their principal's ban on T-shirts that read "Kiss Our Class Good-bye" or "Holy Ship, we're graduating."
When dozens of Baker School students defied the edict by wearing the "Kiss" T-shirt earlier this month they were warned suspensions would follow if they persisted. "There's an obvious suggestion that many people find offensive," Principal Tom Shipp said. "I guess I might be old-fashioned, but I believe values are important." |

The charges resulted from a federal indictment returned Wednesday by a federal grand jury in Rockford. The indictment accuses Wagner of eight counts of selling a firearm to a felon and eight counts of illegally distributing marijuana, the release states. |

The eco-friendly cemetery will bury the deceased vertically to save space and in bio degradable bags in a field to be used later as pasture.
Strange that these Aussies choose to the . It's down-under so you would expect a "Head First" approach. "..Bodies will be stored in a morgue in Melbourne and buried in batches of 12 to 15 in three-metre pre-drilled holes.." That's so nice; in Iraq they already have used this approach..... |

Muslim cleric: women incite men's lust with 'satanic dress' |
|
A Muslim sheik told followers at a public meeting in Bankstown that women who were raped had incited men's lust by dressing immodestly and only had themselves to blame.
Sydney-born Sheik Faiz Mohamad, 34, a former boxer who teaches at the Global Islamic Youth Centre in Liverpool, made the comments during a lecture for more than 1000 people at Bankstown Town Hall. "Strapless, backless, sleeveless, nothing but satanic skirts, slit skirts, translucent blouses, miniskirts, tight jeans: all this to tease man and appeal to his carnal nature." |

Sexual Darwinism |
|
It's time to set the record straight. Like it or not, penis size matters to both men and women. Any woman who tells you otherwise is lying, and any man probably has a small member.
So how do you measure up? According to the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University, which investigates sexual behavior and health, the white male's average penis size is 6.2 inches long and 3.7 inches around when erect. But when polled, most men say they believe the average erect penis measures 10 inches. So it's not a surprise that in Playboy's survey of 20,000 men, 96 percent said they were "not satisfied with (their) current size." |

Pakistan's first women fighter pilots |
|
The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) academy has been all-male for more than 55 years - but now it is going through major change.
Women are now allowed to enrol on its aerospace engineering and fighter pilot programmes and are doing rather well. To the great surprise of many men, some of the female recruits will soon start flying jet-engine planes. Male cadets are having to come to terms with the fact that masculinity itself is no longer a condition for reaching this prestigious institute. |

Sex, Sinatra and the women who fell for him |
|
Frank Sinatra was famously well-endowed and a voracious womaniser. A new biography details his string of lovers.
Nancy Venturi, barely into her teens, was one of those who fell. “He had sex on the brain,” she recalled. “He would make love to anyone who came along . . . There was something unusually intensive about his lovemaking. At least it was with me.” She remembered Frank’s seduction technique, his sexually direct lines. Other guys, she thought, “didn’t talk like that back then”. Venturi contributed to the legend that Sinatra was hugely well endowed sexually. “There’s only ten pounds of Frank, but there’s 110 pounds of cock,” Ava Gardner once told a British diplomat at a social function. |

Sex researchers shed light on unpopular sex acts |
|
From bondage to "breath play" and zoophilia, it's not easy keeping up with society's fast-developing sexual trends.
That's why some of North America's top sexologists are hunkered down with academics and therapists at a Fisherman's Wharf hotel this weekend: to swap findings about everything from teens with underwear fetishes to transgender couples. "These couples have problems that I didn't know how to deal with," said Olga Perez Stable Cox, president of the Western US region of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality. "You have to understand the culture, otherwise you're an outsider, and you don't get it." |

Pupil raped new teacher |
|
A rapist aged 15 brutally attacked a teacher on only her second day at a boys’ school, a court heard yesterday.
The burly pupil bit and head-butted her during a frenzied 12-minute assault. But he was trapped because the 28-year-old woman had the presence of mind to keep DNA evidence he left behind. The teacher desperately threw furniture at the youth but he overpowered her, slapping, butting and threatening to kill her. He bit her chest and forced her to perform oral sex — which has been classified as rape since a change in the law in 2003. |

Ban Comic Sans |
|
In 1995 Microsoft released the font Comic Sans originally designed for comic book style talk bubbles containing informational help text. Since that time the typeface has been used in countless contexts from restaurant signage to college exams to medical information. These widespread abuses of printed type threaten to erode the very foundations upon which centuries of typographic history are built.
While we recognize the font may be appropriate in a few specific instances, our position is that the only effective means of ending this epidemic of abuse is to completely ban Comic Sans. |

Condoleezza Rice changed terrorism report |
|
A state department report which showed an increase in terrorism incidents around the world in 2004 was altered to strip it of its pessimistic statistics, it emerged yesterday.
The country-by-country report, Patterns of Global Terrorism, has come out every year since 1986, accompanied by statistical tables. This year's edition showed a big increase, from 172 significant terrorist attacks in 2003 to 655 in 2004. Much of the increase took place in Iraq, contradicting recent Pentagon claims that the insurgency there is waning. Condoleezza Rice, the secretary of state, ordered the report to be withdrawn and a new one issued minus the statistics. |

The arrangement lasted for three months until the day in January 2004 when Slicker made a life-changing mistake. She was fast-forwarding through a James Bond movie, Die Another Day, when a sex scene appeared. The 4-year-old boy in her care demanded she take off her clothes. Slicker complied, and let him touch her. |

By maintaining a man's performance throughout sexual intercourse, it is designed to prevent unwanted accidents. It may also help men who find love-making with a condom a flop, and are therefore less willing to practise safe sex. |

Sex makes women sprinters faster |

Women sprinters who have sex before competing generally perform better but men should avoid amorous exploits before taking to the track, the trainer of Germany’s men’s sprinting team said on Friday.
“With women, it’s not true that sex before competitions has negative effects. On the contrary, we have scientific evidence that women who have sex shortly before competing run better. It boosts performance,” Uwe Hakus told Germany’s Fit for Fun magazine. So what does that tell us about Florence Griffith Joyner, besides that she died a couple of years ago? |
