NASA and
international university researchers claim that humans have thrown off the
balance between the Earth's rotation, surface air temperatures and
movements in its molten core through our contribution of greenhouse gases.
included in the study were Jean Dickey and Steven Marcus from NASA's Jet
Propulsion Laboratory, along with Olivier de Viron, from the Universite Paris Diderot and Institut de
Physique du Globe de Paris in France.
It is well
known that an Earth day consists of 24 hours, which is the time it takes for
the Earth to make one full rotation. Over a year's time, seasonal changes occur
due to energy exchanges between fluid motions of the Earth's atmosphere, the
oceans and solid Earth itself, which changes the length of a day by about 1
millisecond. In addition, the length of a day on Earth can vary over longer
timescales such as interannual timescales (two to 10 years) or decadal
timescales (10 years).
But Earth's
oceans or motions of its atmosphere cannot explain the variances in the length
of day over longer timescales. Instead, longer fluctuations are explained by
the flow of liquid iron within Earth's outer core, which interacts with the
mantle to determine Earth's rotation. This is also where the Earth's magnetic
field originates, and because researchers cannot observe the flows of liquid
iron directly, the magnetic field is observed at the surface.
have shown that this liquid iron "oscillates in waves of motion that last
for decades," and have timescales that resemble long fluctuations in
Earth's day length. At the same time, other studies have shown that long
variations in Earth's day length are closely related to fluctuations in Earth's
average surface air temperature.
In this
study, the NASA/university team of researchers has linked Earth's rotation,
surface air temperatures and the movement in its molten core. They did this by
mapping existing data on yearly length-of-day observations and fluid movements
within Earth's core against "two time series of annual global average
surface temperature." One dated back to 1880 from NASA's Goddard Institute
of Space Studies in New York, and the other dated back to 1860 from the United
Kingdom's Met Office.
to the study, temperature changes not only occur naturally, but are also affected by human activities.
So researchers used computer climate models of Earth's oceans and atmosphere to
generate changes made by humans. Then, these temperature changes caused by
human activities were removed from the overall total observed temperature
records. What they found was that old temperature data coordinated with data on
Earth's day length and movements of its core until 1930, but after that,
surface air temperatures increased without corresponding changes in movements
of the core or day length. According to the study, this deviation after 1930 is
linked to increased levels of the human contribution of greenhouse gases.
But the new temperature data that
the researchers generated (which subtracted human activity from the equation)
had a temperature record that coordinated with Earth's core movements and day
length, showing how human activity has thrown the Earth's climate off balance.
solid Earth plays a role, but the ultimate solution to addressing climate
change remains in our hands," said Dickey.
Dickey is
unsure as to why these three variables correlate, but hypothesized that Earth's
core movements might interfere with the magnetic fielding of charged particle
fluxes, which may affect cloud formation. This affects how much sunlight the
Earth absorbs and how much is reflected back into space.
research demonstrates that, for the past 160 years, decadal and longer-period
changes in atmospheric
temperature correspond to changes in Earth's length of day if
we remove the very significant effect of atmospheric warming attributed to the
buildup of greenhouse gases due to mankind's enterprise," said Dickey.
"Our study implies that human influences on climate during the past 80
years mask the natural balance that exists among Earth's rotation, the core's
angular momentum and the temperature at Earth's surface."
This study was
published in the Journal of Climate.
quote: It is shown here that 1) the correlation among these three quantities exists until 1930, at which time anthropogenic forcing becomes highly significant; 2) correcting for anthropogenic effects, the correlation is present for the full span...
quote: In all three cases, their signals would be much smaller than the anthropogenic greenhouse gas effect on Earth's radiation budget during the coming century.

Lupron Depot (6 Month) intramuscular
Common Brand Name(s): Lupron Depot
Lupron Depot (6 Month) intramuscular Warnings
Lupron Depot (6 Month) intramuscular Uses
Leuprolide is used to treat advanced prostate cancer in men. It is not a cure. Most types of prostate cancer need the male hormone testosterone to grow and spread. Leuprolide works by reducing the amount of testosterone that the body makes. This helps slow or stop the growth of cancer cells and helps relieve symptoms such as painful/difficult urination. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of treatment.
OTHER USES: This section contains uses of this drug that are not listed in the approved professional labeling for the drug but that may be prescribed by your health care professional. Use this drug for a condition that is listed in this section only if it has been so prescribed by your health care professional.
Other leuprolide products may also be used to treat disorders of the uterus (such as endometriosis, fibroids). In women, leuprolide reduces the amount of estrogen that the body makes. Leuprolide may also be used to stop early puberty in children.How to use Lupron Depot (6 Month) intramuscular
This medication is given as an injection into a muscle (intramuscularly), usually once every 6 months or as directed by your doctor. This product slowly releases the medication into your blood over a 6-month period.
If you are directed to inject this medication yourself, learn all preparation and usage instructions in the product package. Learn how to store and discard needles and medical supplies safely. If any of the information is unclear, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Wash your hands and properly mix the medication. Before using, check this product visually for particles or discoloration. If either is present, do not use the liquid. Before injecting each dose, clean the injection site with rubbing alcohol. Change the injection site each time to lessen injury under the skin. Give each dose within 2 hours of mixing. If more than 2 hours have passed since mixing, throw out the product and prepare another syringe/dose.
Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, mark your calendar to keep track of when to receive the next dose.
Lupron Depot (6 Month) intramuscular Side Effects
Hot flashes (flushing), increased sweating, night sweats, tiredness, swelling of the ankles/feet, increased urination at night, dizziness, or mild burning/pain/bruising at the injection site may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Infrequently, shrinking of the testicles, breast tenderness/swelling, and reduced sexual interest/ability may also occur as a result of lowered testosterone levels. Talk to your doctor if these effects occur.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
During the first few weeks of treatment, your level of testosterone will actually increase before it decreases. This is a normal response by your body to this drug. This may sometimes result in new or worsening symptoms for a few weeks. If you have prostate cancer that has spread to the spine or caused urinary blockage, you may require closer monitoring by your doctor, especially when you first start treatment. Tell your doctor right away if you have any of the following serious side effects: bone pain, numbness/tingling/weakness of the arms/legs, blood in the urine, painful/difficult urination, unusual weakness, inability to move.
Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: new/worsening bone pain, easily broken bones, increased thirst/urination, mental/mood changes (such as depression, thoughts of suicide, mood swings, aggression in children).
Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: chest/jaw/left arm pain, weakness on one side of the body, slurred speech, seizures, fast/irregular heartbeat, severe dizziness, fainting.
Rarely, a very serious problem with your pituitary gland (pituitary apoplexy) may occur, usually in the first hour to 2 weeks after your first injection. Get medical help right away if any of these very serious side effects occur: sudden severe headache, sudden severe mental/mood changes (such as severe confusion, difficulty concentrating), vision changes, severe vomiting.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

UNIVERSITY?PARK?- Less than 48 hours removed from a team upset over then-No. 18 Michigan - a game in which several Nittany Lions stepped up - two were individually awarded.
C.J. Olaniyan and Christian Hackenberg won Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week and Big Ten Freshman of the Week, respectively, for their performances in the 43-40, quadruple overtime victory.
Olaniyan, who struggled and compiled just one sack across the first five games of the season, broke out and recorded 2.5 sacks, a forced fumble and two pass breakups in the sixth.
Olaniyan's standout performance included the redshirt junior containing Michigan's dual-threat quarterback in Devin Gardner, which played a large role in the victory.
"If we take care of our assignments, play hard, no mistakes, we are going to win every game that we step on the field," Olaniyan said after the game.
Olaniyan's night was highlighted by the forced fumble when he blindsided Gardner, knocked the ball loose only to be covered up by fellow defensive lineman DaQuan Jones.
Bill O'Brien said Olaniyan and the Penn State defense played a whale of a football game and kept coming up big.
"C.J., all those guys, I was watching them closely at the end there," O'Brien said. "I thought all of those guys really contributed to the win and I can't say enough about our defense."
The redshirt junior's Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week nod marks the first time Olaniyan picked up the honor.
While Olaniyan is new to receiving the honor, Hackenberg is no stranger as he has tallied three Big Ten Freshman of the Week awards.
Hackenberg surpassed 300 yards passing for the third time this season as he accumulated 305 Saturday while tossing three touchdowns.
The freshman led an 80-yard, game tying drive in just 23 seconds in the waning moments of the fourth quarter that was highlighted with a 36-yard pass to Allen Robinson, which placed the ball on the Michigan 1-yard line.
Hackenberg would then pick up that extra yard with a quarterback sneak to send the game into the first of four overtime periods.
O'Brien said the final drive Hackenberg orchestrated was a situation Penn State practices every day and that the young quarterback and the offense came up big.
"I think Christian is, obviously, a very mature quarterback for being 18 years old," O'Brien said. "He's a fun guy to coach and some of that was training and it paid off."

Even in a situation as dark and dire as Friday's tourist train wreck, rays of light shine through, as many area residents offered help and support during the rescue effort.
Leisha Cassell, paramedic for Bartow-Frank-Durbin Rescue, said she was overwhelmed by the community support for the victims and the rescue personnel.
"Area restaurants including Station 2 Restaurant brought food for the workers," Cassell said. "Residents helped by bringing coffee, water, Gatorade and sandwiches. Also residents went around to stores and businesses and gathered donations of ice, pop and snacks for those rescue personnel working at the scene. It was wonderful to have the help."
Cassell said that she heard the same thing happened on the other side of the train, which separated the rescue teams.
"They had trays of subs from Subway," Cassell said. "They said that a local church group had paid for and arranged for the sandwiches to be delivered to the scene for the workers."
Other support was reported by Bobbie Cross, a certified professional coder at Davis Health System and health information coordinator at Davis Memorial Hospital Advanced Hearing Solutions, Inc. The employees of Advanced Hearing Solutions, Inc. donated their time and energy to deliver pizza from Darren's Pizza Shack and bottled water to the employees, law enforcement officers and passengers at the train accident.
Cross also said Rebecca Kaposy Higgins, owner of Advanced Hearing Solutions and registered nurse, volunteered to help where needed for patient care.
Many people commented on the wreck and the rescue efforts on Facebook.
Elkins resident Ralphene Holbert Maynard offered thanks via Facebook to all first responders and medical teams at the scene.
Adam West, a teacher at Elkins Christian Academy, posted, "Praying for all those involved in the train accident today."
Pastor Jamie Estep, with the Church of God Elkins Family Worship Center, wrote, "Prayers for all that were involved in the accident at Cheat. May God bless all the volunteers that served in those situations."
One of the church's paritioners, Deborah Kendrick Mayle, responded, writing, "Mark Phillips was working on the train today, Pastor. He's at the hospital now waiting to hear from the family." Phillips, an employee on the train, suffered a broken arm but refused treatment until all passengers were safe.
Please contact The Inter-Mountain if you know of others who should be recognized for volunteering in this challenging time. Comments can be submitted to the Virtual Newsroom at www.theintermountain.com.

We really should alleviate our stress by getting up at 3 a.m. and doing two hours of yoga"? Don't worry, neither does anyone else. But it doesn't stop celebrities from dispensing it like that virtually see-through toilet paper in a truck stop shitter. There are reasons we wisely choose to ignore their advice (or in many cases, make fun of it), but I don't think the celebrities themselves see the problem. Allow me to explain to them that ...
#5. They Come from a World Where Money Isn't a Thing
The number one cause of stress in the average person's life is money, mainly because all of the other things you worry about (your job, your degree) are just other ways to worry about money. So when we get advice from Gwyneth Paltrow on "what to get the man in your life," it's incredibly hard to not burst into fits of psychotic laughter like the black guy from RoboCop. Seriously, take a look at what she suggests and tell me you don't want to punch her in the face:
- "Room spray" (the size of a pill bottle): $125
- Sweater: $800
- Belt: $420
- Rug with silhouette of his head: $3,500

No, seriously, go fuck yourself.
I mean, I understand that Gwyneth is a special kind of crazy, but is she really so out of touch with the general public that she thinks these are 1) things men want and 2) things the average person can afford without taking part in some hardcore, Class X embezzlement? If my wife brought home any one of those items, I'd immediately assume she had taken on a second job fucking Japanese businessmen for poker chips in Vegas.
It's not a huge mystery that when you enter into that celebrity level of financial security -- let me rephrase that: when you become so effortlessly rich that your life makes fuck sounds -- the enormous weight of that stress just evaporates. I'm not talking about some successful business owner who works around the clock, I'm talking about a class of people who can collect six-figure checks just for showing up to some event whose organizers want a famous person in the audience. After living that lifestyle -- and hanging around others who share it -- for so long, it becomes impossible for you to relate to the average human. But since she still thinks of herself as "just another person," she can't help but come off as catastrophically clueless.
"I'm such an average, normal person. I just ate six ounces of gold!"
Don't think I'm just picking on Gwyneth here -- the problem is everywhere among that group. When asked about how to keep level-headed and grounded, Goldie Hawn's advice is to stand in front of the ocean. Which I'm sure that, for the multimillionaires living on beachfront property, it's a great idea. Or for the small percentage of people who live close enough to the ocean to drive there. But for the overwhelming majority of the globe, it's just gibberish horseshit spraying from the mouth of an ultra-privileged, out of touch alien.
You can't give advice based on a lifestyle that's only shared by a single-digit percentage of the globe and expect to be taken seriously. "But what about the things that don't take a huge bank account to do, like dieting tips and workout regimens?" asks all of Hollywood in unison. "Surely we could have something valuable to say there."
"Wait, before you move on, I don't understand. Why can't you just buy an ocean and have it moved to your yard?"
#4. They Literally Pay People to Live Their Lives for Them
First off, let me tell you that I don't trust anyone who claims to be able to make you lose massive amounts of weight if they've never been fat themselves. Yes, our first instinct is to trust supermodels because they have the body fat percentage of a window. "Well, she must be doing something right -- look at her!"
But metabolism and what-should-be-obvious science aside, we know they're not getting those results on their own. Yes, we know they're getting help, but what I don't think a lot of people realize is that the first thing a celebrity invests in when they hit the big time is a personal assistant -- and in many cases, several. Believe me when I tell you that these people are more valuable than the star's cocaine shed. Assistants do everything for them, effectively wiping away all of life's normal stress inducers like picking up the kids, mowing the lawn, organizing weddings, chartering last-minute flights and even crawling under the house to fix the goddamn air conditioner.
"Sir, I'm sorry, but there just isn't buried treasure here. I'm sorry."
This not only frees up time for a heavy workload, public appearances and ... racism conventions (I don't know what celebrities are required to do), but it also gives them time to actually work out instead of playing catch-up with all of life's normal, mundane bullshit. It's a privilege that most of us obviously don't have, but they obviously don't get.
So when a celebrity proudly boasts, "I lost 30 pounds on the nothing-but-Slim-Jims diet," we immediately call bullshit, because we know the story doesn't end there. No, the diet wasn't as much of a factor as the personal trainer you pay to hold your ass accountable for working out every night. And to show you how to do it, coaching you along through every pushup and crunch. You have a nutritionist who buys your groceries, plans your diet, fixes your meals and watches every calorie you put into your body.
"It's diced children. Very slimming."
So, celebrities, that question I pretended that you asked about tips that don't involve a huge bank account? It involves a huge fucking bank account, because these people don't come cheap to normal humans. And having them on the payroll is invaluable, because they effectively remove willpower from the equation.
"OK, so we'll give you that one," they all say, still in perfect unison -- which is actually getting kind of creepy. "But what about stuff that truly has nothing to do with money? Spirituality, mental health, self-esteem?" Ah, that's a good point. And it would be a valid one, if not for the fact that ...
#3. Their Day-to-Day Life Bears No Resemblance to Yours
I'm not going to harp on Gwyneth Paltrow because she's an easy target (well, that, and Soren already did a whole brilliant article on her), but I have to call attention to this duh-storm when she said in an interview, "Every woman can make time [to work out] -- every woman -- and you can do it with your baby in the room. There have been countless times where I've worked out with my kids crawling around all over the place. You just make it work, and if it's important to you, it'll be important to them."
So just out of curiosity, are you picturing Gwyneth as a single mother getting home after a 12-hour shift at the local factory or dealing with asshole customers all day? Do you see her letting out an exasperated sigh as she realizes that her day isn't done because she still has to cook dinner, go over homework with the kids, do the dishes, start the laundry and clean the house? Are you picturing her falling onto the couch in total exhaustion, too tired to even make it to the bedroom?
Hey, get your lazy ass up! You have two hours of working out to do!
Yeah, neither is anyone else. Not even her. Now, that's not saying she doesn't work hard. I'm sure that her schedule is a nightmare when she's filming and making her appearances, but she also doesn't exactly have to worry about being fired when she takes a few months off between shoots. And for that matter, even if she got blacklisted tomorrow, who cares? She's set for life. When you add that factor in with the personal assistants I mentioned earlier, of course she has time to work out. She's just lost touch with the general public so much that she just assumes everyone has access to these perks.
This is where that core message shows up that always just makes me want to explode -- where a celebrity says or implies that people who work that hard need to slow down and enjoy the small things because they're missing out on life. They can't imagine a world where people work themselves into exhaustion because they have to -- not because they want to. They don't live in a world where someone can show up and take your fucking car because you couldn't make the payments, where one missed rent check plus one intolerant landlord equals instant homelessness.
That guy's not actually homeless. He's just playing "race car" with an old box he found.
But it's not just a money thing. Carnie Wilson, daughter of legendary Beach Boy Brian Wilson, was a part of what was once one of the biggest pop groups on the planet, Wilson Phillips. She was also, at 5 feet 3 inches tall, one of the biggest pop stars in the world, weighing in at 300 pounds.
Via Lemondrop.com
Which she offset by having incredibly stupid fucking hair.
Having gone through some pretty dramatic weight problems and having a dad whose crazy was on par with Hannibal Lecter, she took some pretty solid lessons out of it that she was sure to pass on to her own child, telling Babble.com, "... it's important to build their self-esteem. There are people of all different shapes and sizes, and I try to teach Lola that people aren't as sensitive as she is. She's almost 5, and that's the age kids in school start to tease each other. It hurts her. I try to teach her that you can have thick skin but still be sensitive."
Well that's not bad, right? Kids should know to never be ashamed of their looks and to always be proud of themselves just the way they are. Hell, I teach that to my own kids. Though it probably means something different coming from a woman who has had two gastric bypass operations, the last one as recent as last January (she's a self-proclaimed food addict), and multiple plastic surgeries before showing it off by posing for Playboy.
"Just be proud of who you are. Until you're 18, and then we can just carve you into whatever you want."
Don't get me wrong, what she's saying is great. I'm a former alcoholic, and I'm sure as hell telling my kids to stay away from the shit. The difference is, I'm not telling them that with a beer in my hand. The source is everything, and kids notice stuff like that. But all that aside, even if their advice seems to make some semblance of sense, they don't realize that things can get dangerous on our end -- because many of us forget that ...

K now it does that right away when I try to type "make-kpkg -initrd kernel_image" again... is it trying to compile from where I left off? Should I erase everything and start over?
K now it does that right away when I try to type "make-kpkg -initrd kernel_image" again... is it trying to compile from where I left off? Should I erase everything and start over?
I'm using dapper with the 2.6.15 patched for reiser4 and a little tweaked, is this kernel + patchset really better than the almost 'official' one ?
I don't think that you should upgrade. You won't really get that much better performance in my opinion.Originally Posted by geearf
Allright then, I will just tweak it a little more, is there any specific patch I should try ?
I don't think there is a specific patch you could use but I just compilied the new 184.108.40.206 kernel and I tried to customize it for speed. I also didn't use any patch...let's see how fast it is...Originally Posted by geearf
I was hoping I could get the newest kernel on my slowish computer, but alas, I have encountered a problem.
When I'm building the kernel I get the following error:
I noticed that if I start building it again, it starts off where the error occured and continues until it reaches the next "Segment fault".Code:... ... ... CC kernel/posix-timers.o CC kernel/kthread.o CC kernel/wait.o CC kernel/kfifo.o CC kernel/sys_ni.o CC kernel/posix-cpu-timers.o kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c: In function run_posix_cpu_timers: kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c:1275: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate.

This can't good, can it?
ok, this can be the result of a bad patch. Try re-compiling the kernel and skip the patch step. Also compile the 220.127.116.11 kernel from kernel.org. Just follow the tutorial but replace the old kernel name (2.6.16) with the new one (184.108.40.206).Originally Posted by eRoot
what do you mean with <name of the fine> ?
I mean name of file. Sorry, typo. Are you installing the kernel now ? If so I hope it works.Originally Posted by IsKall

Hanif Omar Defends Mahathir Only Partially
"You can't blame him. He is right. As a matter of fact, it was entirely the police's decision. It was not his (Mahathir's) decision. Mahathir was actually opposed to it... He was against Ops Lalang," said Hanif.
In the 1987 crackdown on Oct 27, 106 people - mostly opposition and a handful of MCA and Umno politicians - were arrested under the Internal Security Act while the publishing permits for The Star and Sin Chew Jit Poh and Watan were revoked.
However, Hanif added that it was Mahathir's responsibility as the home minister to sign the detention orders once the first 60-day detention provided for under the Internal Security Act expired.
While most of the detainees in the Ops Lalang were released either conditionally or unconditionally, 40 were issued two-year detention orders, including then DAP secretary-general Lim Kit Siang and party deputy chairman Karpal Singh.
Mahathir did not order the crackdown but he did sign the 2-year detention orders to keep a few top opposition leaders including the opposition leader Lim Kit Siang in Kamunting.
Second, it is near impossible for Mahathir to completely wash off his hands because it was him who revoked the permits for several local newspapers.
Hanif may be one of the most respected and credible IGPs in the country but his argument that the police force were independent of political influence is rather unconvincing. If so, why didn't the police arrest some UMNO youth leaders including the current PM Najib? In response, Umno held a counter protest, where notably then-Youth chief Najib Abdul Razak led a mammoth rally in Kampung Baru days prior to the arrests.
Both Mahathir and Hanif's statements cemented the need to abolish the ISA to avoid it being abused as a political tool to detain detractors and to implement the IPCMC to monitor the police force conduct.
17 comments:
Typical of this shenanigan Mahathir, he will deny not only this but over time he will deny all the atrocities he had committed. While this ex-IGP is very afraid of being kicked out of Genting and hence the gravy train and needs the support of this bloody racist to remain in the board.
Now you know why Umno need to have laws to compel non believers muslims to remain as muslim with muslims like the shenanigan and the ex-IGP foe living off the gambling money of the non muslims.
So this descendant of the untouchable pariah did not do it ! Yes, just I did not eat for the last few years to survival till this day.Yes he did not take any action pertaining to the arrest physically.
He only signed and gave the order to the IGP to it as the Home MInister and above all as P.M. do you believe the shenanigan Mahathir would allow the police force to override him ? It has to be the joke of 2011 plus he will have to go and tell the marine this event or tell that to a three years old kid.
I tell you,if non-malays demonstrate,the police consider it as dangerous and say may cause racial tension(ya, racial tension is bcos the UMNO's followers will take the opportunity to create unrest).
But if UMNO's members(or malays) demonstrate,the police sees it as legitimate(as if they are being victimised).
Recalled also when Teresa Kok was dragged into the controversal issue of azan prayer and the Sin Chew reporter's reporting on the news,both of them were detained under ISA.But Utusan's Awang Selamat and Ridzuan Tee spewing racial hatred,no actions were taken.
This is clearly double standards and can Mr.Najib explain what is this 1Malaysia slogan about?
This mamak senile oldman(I wont call him a stateman)is a real hypocrite.
When will he tell the real truth and apologise once for the mistakes he make during his premiership?
And now trying to be popular by telling half-truth stories.
That's the easiest way and the most expedient way. Power in the hands of corrupt minds destroys. You can take politics from Dr. M but definitely can't take Dr.M from the slyiest politics!
Hi Khoo,
1) Whether MAHATHIR is responsible for OPS LALANG is "NOT" important. More over, it's already HISTORY.
2) Every country require some sort of CONTROL. During OPS LALANG era, there were ABUNDANCE of BIADAP WANKERS of whom posed extreme danger to national security. Thus, I sincerely support the use of OPS LALANG in 1987.
3) LIM KIT SIANG, LIM GUAN ENG & KARPAL SINGH were the 3 most notorious local PEST back in 1987. Thus, what's so wrong to have these 3 dudes stored in Kamunting Resort??? These 3 dudes should be LUCKY they weren't HANG TILL DEATH. Having the privilege to stay in KAMUNTING RESORT is deem LUCKY for these 3 donkeys.
3) MAHATHIR was a GREAT LEADER. He almost single handedly carried MALAYSIA to new frontiers. He too have put MALAYSIA in the world map with his BRILLIANT plans & visions.
4) ISA should NOT be abolished!!! There are still ABUNDANCE of MONKEYS who need to be thrown into KAMUNTING RESORT. Wankers such as KIT SIANG, GUAN ENG & KARPAL should be sent back there again. After all, I bet they MISS that place. 1 NEW RECRUIT is none other than the MALE ARSE LOVING dude name "ANWAR IBRAHIM"
Now, Khoo.....go get a life or do you want to visit KAMUNTING RESORT as well???
Beware Mr. KKP,
There is an UMNO guy (aka Jerry Chin) infiltrating your blog and he is assigned to mock every thing you wrote. Perhaps, getting a cut from the RM6 billion deal?
To Jerry Chin,you are either an UMNO member(using chinese name)or a running dog for UMNO.
The words you use sound unfriendly and threatening!
A rational guy will not defend such way!
Jerry Chin,
You are obviously are not a Chinese disguised as one. Short of saying you will lick the ass hole of the shenanigan Mahathir after he gone to the loo
you have the audacity to call this untouchable pariah shenanigan Mahthir a great leader. He is indeed a great 'commission taker' when he implemented the many white elephants without ever considering if Malaysia needed them. His main purpose building the unneeded white elephants was that they can then give him the opportunities to get his '10% commission' that he is so famous for plus also they would allow him to bribe his cronies, may be it included you, the shares of the loots. That was how the most hated and corrupted man remained in power as President of Umno as as P.M. of Malaysia. Not because he was the most popular guy around and as a matter of fact he was there as P.M. because he had the most number of votes in the country but the most number of 'yes' men in Umno and the running dogs in the component parties. Truthfully these 'yes men' and the running dogs did not represent the majority people of Malaysia. This shenanigan knows that but because of his evil tactics he remain as P.M. for 22 years. He is now still appealing to the Malays just to ensure his ill gotten gains are protected and not because he cares for them. He never did and never will because he has never deemed himself or his family as Malay or even Indonesian. His grand father came from Kerala and in case you don't know where that is, it is in southern India where all the untouchable pariahs are from.
- Khoo Kay Peng said...
Don't worry folks. The more people like 'Jerry Chin' opens his mouth the more rot he brings to himself
Now we know the reason why THE DIVINE Allows mahakutty apanama to live longer than as expected - to make a fool of himself to churn out more nonsense and hypocricy to disclose his trueself.......
He cud have blessed with Hero "departure" if he knows how to close his big mouth shut after retirement.
Now the damage he had done to himself is beyond reparable...
Dirty. O.. M..
Jerry Chin is the Jerry Lewis - stupid actor always depends on the singer Dean Martin.
He knows nuts about Op Lalang. At that time, MCA Lim Kim Sai and another UMNO guy like Jerry Chin are having a quarrel to the point of cutting a cockle throat. Lim Kim Sai was told by this knutty togo to Down Under for holidays. This knutty was speaking to a group but to Lim Kim Sai and and Lim kit Siang. So Lim Kim Sai went Down Under to escape the Op Lalang.
BN is telling all lies yet claiming to be a religious nation
And the mamak TDM will always use the words "I cannot remember" !!!!
Mamakutty is forever a snake, a liar and a hypocrite of the highest honour in this world. What can we expect from a despicable person who openly denied his root and be what he claims to be of what he is not?
Who would believe Hanif, a Muslim who survives on 'gambling income'. He lives in sin. Ignore him as his words are not worth 2 sen.
As for Mahathir, a keling who converted to Malay, is a devil's advocate. Wait for him to burn in hell.
Jerry Chin is an UMNO Malay masquerading as a Chinese.
Any man with Chinese blood will not think or write like a moron.
Even MCA (UMNO dogs) will not write like that.
85% of the malays respect him.You nonmalays dont be foolled by 15% of pengkianat melayu to hentam TDM so you take the opportunity to hentam UMNO .This is what you did to the Seenivasigam brothers at first the chinese dare not say anything bad about UMNO.After the Seenivasigam brothers conqer Ipoh Dap kikcked them Off.That is why the indians support UMNO/BN now.

Located in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Paris, which has attracted Parisian intellectuals since the 18th century, Hotel Bel Ami calls one of Paris' most storied districts home. Here you can enjoy the beautiful Rive Gauche, find some of the most complete and interesting bookshops in Paris, stop by one of the historical cafés, or simply get lost in the enchanting streets peppered with hidden restaurants and young designer boutiques around the church of Saint-Sulpice. Tucked away on a tiny side-street, Hotel Bel Ami brings together in its concept and design the most interesting characteristics of its setting: history, cultural life, and sophisticated choices for relaxing, shopping, and eating.
Rooms & Suites
Inspired by Hotel Bel Ami's literary background as a 19th century printworks, the newly refurnished bedrooms have been conceived as elegant environments with a focus on minimalism. Here, one can easily settle in with a desk and bookshelf for the simple pleasure of reading or writing. The bathrooms, designed as luxury huts, are decorated in natural wood tones. The hotel's architecture features two exposed external walls, giving each room a special light according to its direction and floor. For total quiet, all rooms have double-glazed windows.
Philippe Maidenberg
Housed in a former 19th-century printing works, in which the first copy of Guy de Maupassant's novel Bel Ami was printed, the building was redesigned by architect and designer Philippe Maidenberg. The surrounding quartier Saint-German-des-Prés slowly grew around the ancient Abbey during the 12th-Century. Today, the Abbey is perfectly integrated to the Hausmanian architecture of Paris, and is the heart of the quartier. Its ancient history and lively cultural life are perfectly reflected in the Hotel Bel Ami, located in the heart of this neighborhood.
Low-key Luxe
Luxury fabrics and bright colors create an elegant, yet cutting-edge atmosphere. Hotel Bel Ami's 108 rooms and suites feature natural grey furnishing offset by green and blue tones that allude to the evening hues of Paris. While at Bel Ami Café, the radiant colors, a collection of art books and video-screenings showing Parisian life and the natural light entering from a bay window, make it the perfect place to enjoy a plentiful brunch.
Anne Jousse and Philippe Maidenberg
Savvy businesswoman Anne Jousse is president of B Signature Hôtels & Resorts, a family-run hotel brand that offers luxury with a human face. Jousse worked as an insurance broker for 20 years in the family business before turning towards hospitality. As travelers, the Bessé family seeks to create ideal spaces for business and leisure.

a mini wing is a very small person, not quite small enough to be classed as an actual midget, but she's pretty close. The wings themselves are not actually visible to the naked eye, but that does not mean they aren't there. Sometimes they can be revealed under a UV light. Mini wings are awesome despite their lack of height.
"Hey, that chick is super small but really cool."

STATE COLLEGE - It wasn't a great second day for Cambria Heights' Morgan Spaid in the District 6 Class AA girls golf championships at the Penn State White Course, but her final-round performance on Thursday was good enough to not end her season.
Spaid outlasted Penn Cambria's Madison Krug - for the third and final qualifying position in next week's regional - in a playoff that lasted one hole after the pair ended the tournament with matching 189s.
St. Joseph's Kinsley Bonfilio (171) won the individual title, while Bishop McCort's Kayla Orr (178) finished second.
"I was very surprised because today I did not do very well," said Spaid, who admitted she was nearly ready to withdraw from the tournament because of her second-day struggles. She had a 100 Thursday after Wednesday's 89.
"A lot of my drives did not go straight and I was getting really frustrated. I pulled it together, and it turned out OK."
The one-day PIAA Western Regional will be played on Monday at Tom's Run in Blairsville, where Spaid will not only face Bonfilio and Orr again, but will compete against some of the state's best female golfers.
"I was very happy about [qualifying], but I'm nervous to see what happens [at regionals]."
Krug had the same collapse on Thursday, shooting a 101 after her 88 in the first round.
Fittingly, the two were paired for the final round.
"I played with her all day," Spaid said. "We got to be pretty good friends. We were pretty even the whole day. It was a bittersweet [to have to play her in a playoff]."
Despite not advancing to next week's Class AAA regional, Hollidaysburg's Marissa Rosensteel (fourth, 176) and Quincy Gildea (sixth, 188) shot well enough to earn medalist honors.
State College's Jessalyn Holdcroft secured the lone qualifying spot with her individual title. She was one of two golfers in the tournament to shoot a round in the 70s with her 79 on Thursday, and led the entire field with a two-day total of 163.
Bellefonte's Alyssa Sinclair - who shot a 78 on Wednesday, but an 89 on Thursday - was second, four strokes back.
State College (711) won the team championship by 77 strokes over Bellefonte. Hollidaysburg (804) finished in third.
Bishop McCort (842) won the Class AA team title by 80 strokes over Forest Hills.

Protocol Now Requires Aspirin to Manage Possible Side Effects
The International Myeloma Foundation today is pleased to inform physicians, patients and their families that the clinical trial of Revlimid® plus dexamethasone in people newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma has resumed. The announcement was sent was sent to participating institutions by the Eastern Oncology Cooperative Group (ECOG), which is conducting this trial.
The ECOG study, designated E4A03, was halted at the end of September because not all study participants were taking aspirin as recommended to manage DVT's or blood clots that may occur with this regimen. The study was redesigned to make aspirin mandatory, and the participating institutions will now begin implementing the new protocol.
E4A03 is a randomized phase III study of Revlimid plus high and low-dose dexamethasone in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.
Celgene, the company that developed Revlimid, has filed with the FDA for its approval in a malignant blood syndrome called MDS, and plans to file a supplementary new drug application to use Revlimid in multiple myeloma. In March, a trial of Revlimid with dexamethasone in relapsed myeloma did so well ("exceeded pre-specified efficacy") that all patients in the trial were offered Revlimid as part of their treatment regimen.
Patients interested in participating should contact their own physicians. More information about the study can be found on our website at (http://e4a03.myeloma.org)

5 Things You Never Want to See at an Open Mic
#2. Poetry
Comstock/Comstock/Getty Images
I've never told a joke at a coffee shop. I'm not saying that to sound like some kind of cool guy; I don't know if a person would ever say a thing like that in an effort to sound cool. What I mean is quite the opposite. I've never been brave enough to tell a joke at a coffee shop.
Here's the thing: It's not that I've never considered it. I did go to an open mic at a coffee shop, again, in San Francisco. I arrived with plans to rock the mic, but was immediately put off when I walked in to find that someone was doing just that, except for real. It was a rapper, with dreadlocks and an Army jacket and everything, just like the ones who took over Detroit in the action classic 8 Mile.
Unfortunately, they lost.
This would have marked the third time I'd ever done comedy in my life. At the time, the heart of my material was based on my articles about unintentionally gay rap lyrics. It was a confidence-rattling start to the night.
Things momentarily got less intense when the kid who was rocking back and forth in his seat (wearing the exact same Army jacket as the rapper, because strange is a branch of the military in San Francisco) jumped up in response to a name being called and headed for the microphone. Up to that point, I'd assumed he was planning to detonate a bomb vest of some sort. Fortunately, the only bombs he brought were in the form of the nonsensical phrases he'd strung together in the name of "poetry." If I remember correctly, it somehow involved him being born a crab, and I am not fucking making that up.
I was sure I'd seen the worst live performance of all time when, much to my dismay, the next four or five people to take the stage did the exact same thing. Johnny Crabcakes wasn't even the worst of the lot. At least his ramblings seemed like the result of a drug problem. Everyone else was just probably into poetry for the sake of it, and that's scarier than any drug issue by a wide margin.

Dear God, does she even own a television?
While I'm being an asshole about it, as the terms of my contract say I must, I will admit that it was kind of a cool thing. There was a lot of acceptance in that room. I just couldn't imagine that what I do would be accepted in that room (or any room like it). I don't know if I'm even able to write a joke that's not offensive to someone in some way. That's not a brag -- that's a glaring deficiency in my joke-writing process. So much so that I was sure my stuff would not go over in a room like the one with the rapper and the superficially menacing poet, so I never even bothered trying.
I should have, though. I haven't been doing stand-up long enough to give much in the way of advice to anyone, but if forced to come up with something, I'd say try your jokes in places where laughs are hard to come by. If something hits there, keep after it.
My only other advice is to make sure you're less funny than me, even if people tell you it's not possible.
#1. Your Exhausted Co-Workers
I invited my co-workers to an open mic once. Four of them, to be precise. Dan O'Brien, Soren Bowie, Kristi Harrison, and Robert Brockway. Well, I invited all of them, I'm no asshole (citation needed). That just happened to be the configuration that was available to accompany me at the time. I knew it was a risky proposition in that this open mic determined the order of the lineup by randomly drawing names from a bucket. Every time I'd been there, my name was pulled in a reasonable amount of time, but there are always a lot of names to get through, usually 20 at least. Each of those people gets five minutes on stage. If your name is drawn at or near the end, it can make for an excruciatingly long night.
Naturally, my name was drawn at or near the end. Third to last, to be exact. When we arrived, there were maybe 50 people in the club. By the time I took the stage, the only people left were the people who worked there, two comics, my girlfriend, and three of the previously mentioned four co-workers. Brockway left at the approximate point where "Old Time Rock and Roll" would have been played if we were at a Seger concert (meaning he stayed for a long damn time) because his motorcycle gets harder to see as it gets darker out, and what's the point of riding a motorcycle if people can't see it? I understood, while also wondering to myself why he didn't like me anymore.

Pictured: The list of possible reasons.
The other three stuck it out, though, and Kristi was even nice enough to laugh at every single thing every comic said the entire night even if it was the opposite of funny. I was equal parts grateful and horrified. On the one hand, it was super nice of them to even consider showing up at all, and I'd like to thank all four of them for that again right now. On the other, holy shit it was like 1 a.m. before we got out of there and my friends and co-workers had to sit through a whole lot of bad comedy in the name of listening to me tell jokes. I never want supporting my dreams to involve supporting others also. I resent it, in fact.
Don't worry, I repaid their patience and kindness by absolutely killing it that night. I was really great, you guys. Seriously. Unfortunately, I don't have video to prove it, you'll just have to take my word for it.
Or, you could come see me try to recreate that magic in person! Starting March 5 (that's Tuesday!), I'll be co-hosting a stand-up show at Westside Comedy Theater in Santa Monica. This time, my fellow Cracked workers Dan O'Brien and Michael Swaim will be performing too, along with people way more talented than us, like Blaine Capatch and Laurie Kilmartin. It will be a rocking good time, and tickets are only $5. But they're only $2.50 if you use the promo code CRACKED. You may remember all of this from the opening paragraph.
And just so the last impression you have isn't that video of my very first open mic, this is me doing a marginally better set at a club called The Stand in NYC (order the tater tot nachos and tell Cris to answer my goddamn emails if you see him) over Christmas.
I'm the one telling jokes behind the giant woman in the stocking cap. I hope I see you this Tuesday!

The National Machinery Foundation has been supporting large projects through grants and assistance, as well as quietly assisting many local citizens since the 1940s, Martin said.
"The foundation is a big deal, and tonight they are making a big deal out of you (the students)," he said. "You are the leaders of tomorrow and are recognized and praised for your personal integrity and academic accomplishments. You are exceptional because you stand out for all the good reasons, not the wrong."
Through truthfulness, honor and reliability, Martin said the students do the right thing and make the right decisions and hold their morals to the highest standards.
"You, as today's students, are to become tomorrow's leaders," Martin said. "You are not done yet though, you are just getting started.
"Now you should take all the things that you have learned and continue to work on them until you get them right. Live each and every day better than the day before."
Martin said, "Don't be afraid to put yourself out there and take the risk. Are you citizen enough to stand up and be counted on?"
During the ceremony, cash awards also were presented to the following seniors from:
Bettsville Samantha Kohlenberg;
Hopewell-Loudon Allison Arnold, Benjamin Bodart, Ryan Depinet, Jarid Gelinas, Kassandra Shaver and Jordan Stewart;
Mohawk Clara Adelsperger, Julie Adelsperger, Kasey Adelsperger, Lydia Coldiron, Erin Conner, Ciara Long and Sabrina McDermott;

CAREY - Carey didn't shoot well from the outside for much of the game Friday night against Mohawk; it's 4 of 18 shooting line from deep isn't impressive.
But when it mattered, the Blue Devils were perfect from 3-point range, giving them the momentum they needed to win their Midland Athletic League opener, 55-44 over the Warriors.
The game was tight most of the way, and it was tied at 33 after three quarters. Carey used a pair of baskets in the paint by Logan Johnson, sandwiched around one by Hannah Tong, to push an 8-2 run that gave the Blue Devils a 41-35 advantage with 5:08 left.
But a trey from Ashley Parker cut the Blue Devils' lead to three, and appeared to put the Warriors right back in it.
But Carey's Hannah Draper (11 points) answered with a 3 from the right corner, the Blue Devils' first since the first quarter.
Mohawk's Sarah Parker answered with a jumper, but then Carey's Sydney Wentling was left open on the right corner, and hit, making it 47-40. After Parker scored again to make it 47-42 with 3:09 left, Draper was again open, this time on the left wing.
Again, she buried it. Carey went up 50-42.
Three 3's in about 90 seconds.
"It was momentum," Carey coach Phil Vaughn said. "And every time I think of those three shots... it looked like those players wanted the ball.
"So I think the confidence was rolling. We didn't hit a lot of 3's in the first half, but you hope - we do have some good shooters - that the percentage will be on your side if you keep taking those open 3's."
For Mohawk coach Josh Fortney, the events were unacceptable.
"We talk about making adjustments on offense. If someone has the hot hand, we try to go to them," Fortney said. "Kasey Adelsperger ... she had the hot hand. We planned to go to her. (The Blue Devils) made the adjustment, took that away.
"Same thing goes on defense. It's pretty basic. Somebody makes a 3 on their side of the floor, you might wanna get on guards the next time. They make it again, you oughta think a bit harder about [guarding them]... Now three times in a row, I can't live with that," Fortney said. "Our defense shouldn't either. That was just poor execution."
Mohawk was outscored 22-11 in the final quarter.
"It was Carey's effort," said Fortney, who later took the blame for the squad not being ready to go. "Their effort was unbelievable. Coach Vaughn, he's a good coach, he had them ready to go, and their effort on offense, their effort on defense, nothing was easy for us all night."
Kasey Adelsperger had a brilliant game for Mohawk, with 18 points and eight rebounds. But she was the only Warrior to score in double digits. Sarah Parker had 11 rebounds to go with four points, while Sarah Runion hit three 3-pointers for nine points.
Carey was led by Logan Johnson, who paced the offense, especially in the second half. With Sarah Parker defending her much of the evening, Johnson scored 14 points, 12 coming in the second half.
Johnson scored five baskets in the final 24 minutes, most of them in the paint.
"Right here on the left side of the basket, she finished with her left hand," Vaughn said. "Maybe twice with Sarah Parker going up over her, and she was still able to use her left hand, and keep the ball away from her and score off the backboard. That was huge."
Hannah Tong also had a big night, with a double-double of 13 points, 10 boards.
"She played a strong, strong second half for us, and we needed it," Vaughn said.
Carey improved to 3-0, while Mohawk slipped to 2-2.

|Tourette's syndrome (TS) is a developmental disorder that has one of the highest familial recurrence rates among neuropsychiatric diseases with complex inheritance. However, the identification of definitive TS susceptibility genes remains elusive. Here, we report the first genome-wide association study (GWAS) of TS in 1285 cases and 4964 ancestry-matched controls of European ancestry, including two European-derived population isolates, Ashkenazi Jews from North America and Israel and French Canadians from Quebec, Canada. In a primary meta-analysis of GWAS data from these European ancestry samples, no markers achieved a genome-wide threshold of significance (P<5 × 10(-8)); the top signal was found in rs7868992 on chromosome 9q32 within COL27A1 (P=1.85 × 10(-6)). A secondary analysis including an additional 211 cases and 285 controls from two closely related Latin American population isolates from the Central Valley of Costa Rica and Antioquia, Colombia also identified rs7868992 as the top signal (P=3.6 × 10(-7) for the combined sample of 1496 cases and 5249 controls following imputation with 1000 Genomes data). This study lays the groundwork for the eventual identification of common TS susceptibility variants in larger cohorts and helps to provide a more complete understanding of the full genetic architecture of this disorder.Molecular Psychiatry advance online publication, 14 August 2012; doi:10.1038/mp.2012.69.

Understanding charge-transfer processes at the atomic level of nanoscale systems is of the utmost importance for designing nanodevices based on quantum-dot structures, nanotubes, or two-dimensional graphene sheets. Researchers from Western Michigan University, Berkeley Lab, and other international research facilities investigated charge-transfer processes and subsequent ion fragmentation dynamics in nanoclusters composed of argon (Ar) shells and xenon (Xe) cores. The clusters were site-selectively ionized (i.e, ionization took place either in the xenon core or in the argon shell). Using a high-resolution photoelectron-ion coincidence technique at ALS Beamlines 10.0.1 and 11.0.2 , the researchers concluded that charge-transfer processes and fragmentation dynamics are strongly influenced by the environment of the initially ionized atoms.

I voted for Bush because Kerry is a liberal sissy. If those democrats hated Bush so much, then why even throw Kerry in? Are they SERIOUS?

Proof that voting in America can be rigged. Instigated the 9/11 attacks with his illogical foreign policies, and made the world hate America even more by starting an illegal oil war in Iraq. He has also succeeded in turning America from a once prosperous nation into a debt-ridden chaos.
Way to go, Dubya.

Perhaps the worst, most hypocritical, idiotic president the U.S. has ever had in office (and anyone who supports him and his war effort in the Middle East needs a foot broken up into his/her ass and his/her facts straightened out).
George W. Bush is a dick!

The butt of all jokes, he not only embarrassed America, but the whole human race.
There was no way in hell that George W. Bush excel in a Ivy League school because he lacks intelligence.
