How We See The World

I tried to play a video on Youtube and realised that there was no audio. So I opened up iTunes to see if it was just something wrong wit youtube and it said something along the lines of 'itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration, the playback of some songs/videos may be affected. And it doesn't even play the files. I haven't had any problems with this before. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A 15-year-old girl has given birth at a school in Bradford. The baby was born in a medical room at St Joseph's Catholic College in Cunliffe Road on Friday, a school spokesman said. An ambulance was called but the girl had given birth by the time it arrived. The Year 11 pupil is not thought to have known she was pregnant. Spokesman for the Catholic Diocese of Leeds, John Grady, said the girl and her baby were "fine". "It is something that will be talked about for some time but we are just happy that the girl is OK, the baby is OK, and hopefully they will be home this weekend and spend Christmas at home," he said. "It is not going to help to go moralising …

A $100 million pitcher who throws a "gyroball." Rose McGowan as a zombie-killer with a gun for a leg. And a thriller set in the Jewish homeland — in Alaska. As 2006 ticks to a close, the entertainment-industrial complex is busy churning out the coming year's worth of diversions. Some of what you will be seeing, reading and hearing will mark the end of an era. Tony Soprano's reign over northern New Jersey (and cable TV) will come to a close. J.K. Rowling will publish her final Harry Potter book. And the music industry may watch its power — and profits — continue to crumble. But there will also be plenty of rebirth. Power-rocker Axl Rose is mounting a comeback with…

I've got a huge collection of mix CD's, and I used to have a program at home to make labels for them. However, when I got a new computer, I couldn't put that program on it, and that makes me very sad. Does anyone know where I can get a program (free if possible!) that will allow me to make covers and labels and such? Thanks for all help!

Health officials in New York are warning residents to stay away from stray animals over the holiday period. The advice follows a large increase in the reported number of rabies cases, including seven in December alone. The outbreak is centred on the borough of Staten Island, which lies off Manhattan, where 35 animals have tested positive for the virus during 2006. Rabies is highly infectious and usually passed on by a bite. In humans, it is almost always fatal if left untreated. The borough of Staten Island - which sits just off the southern shore of Manhattan - has a large population of racoons and other wild animals which are susceptible to the virus. …

The French-led Corot mission has taken off from Kazakhstan on a quest to find planets outside our Solar System. The space telescope will monitor about 120,000 stars for tiny dips in brightness that result from planets passing across their faces. The multinational mission will also study the stars directly to uncover more about their interior behaviour. Corot blasted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome at 1423 GMT, carried into a polar orbit on a Soyuz-2-1b vehicle. A European Space Agency (Esa) spokeswoman said the take-off had gone smoothly. However, officials would not know until later whether the satellite had separated from its launcher correctly, she s…

Chinese cinemagoers are getting more spectacle than they bargained for in a record-breaking historical epic. Attention has focused on the quantity of bare flesh in Curse of the Golden Flower, which took 96m yuan (£6.3m) in its first weekend. Web forums have buzzed with debate on whether the film, nicknamed Curse of the Golden Corset, is salacious. Even the normally sober state news agency has described lead actress Gong Li's appearance as "eye-popping". The $45m (£23m) epic deals with court intrigue in the Tang dynasty and had the best opening weekend of any Chinese movie. But the costumes, or lack of them, have raised eyebrows both on the internet and i…

Former President Gerald Ford Dies (AP) LOS ANGELES Gerald R. Ford, who picked up the pieces of Richard Nixon's scandal-shattered White House as the 38th and only unelected president in America's history, has died, his wife, Betty, said Tuesday. He was 93. "My family joins me in sharing the difficult news that Gerald Ford, our beloved husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather has passed away at 93 years of age," Mrs. Ford said in a brief statement issued from her husband's office in Rancho Mirage.

Sad Songs Say So Much Nokia UK commissioned music and physiology "expert" Dr. Harry Witchel to scientifically determine the world's saddest, happiest, and most exhilarating songs. (This shouldn't piss people off.) So, Dr. Smarty Pants, how did you "scientifically" measure sadness? Witchel determined listeners' "'tune trigger quotient,' measuring heart rate, respiratory response and skin temperature to find the saddest, happiest and most exhilarating tracks" (via). To measure "happy," Witchel wanted a high number of sighs and a low level of boredom. "Sad" tunes were identified by decreased heart rate, and "exhilarating" by a spike in breaths per minute. And the good doc…

A new Web site, http://www.nosantaforhazleton.com, says the town intends to keep Santa out this Christmas because he represents the illegal immigration the town council believes increases crime and burdens local services. But the site is a hoax, created by someone in a bid to satirise a local law passed in July that has attracted national attention by imposing penalties on businesses and landlords to deter…

Talksport phone-in host Mike Dickin, known to listeners as "The King", has died in a road accident in Cornwall.

The ringleader of a plot to steal diamonds from the Millennium Dome will get legal aid to sue the police. William Cockram and three other men tried to snatch £200m worth of diamonds from the site in Greenwich, south east London in November 2000. Cockram has now issued a writ against the Metropolitan Police, saying he was assaulted by officers during the raid. Cockram, from Catford, south east London, was jailed for 18 years in 2002 for the attempted robbery. In a statement, the Legal Services Commission said: "We cannot differentiate between applicants for legal aid on the grounds that a decision to grant funding may be unpopular in a particular case." R…

An unarmed man has been shot dead by police in New York City hours before he was to have been married, prompting fury over the officers' actions. Two of the man's friends were hurt in the shooting, which occurred outside a strip club where they had been celebrating before the wedding. Police fired 50 bullets at a car carrying the men after it reportedly struck an unmarked police vehicle. New York's mayor says police had acted fearing an armed "altercation". "Officers on the scene had reason to believe that an altercation involving a firearm was about to happen and were trying to stop it," Michael Bloomberg said. The club was under surveillance because of…

This morning, I stumbled upon an ASTOUNDING report from the American Medical Association (AMA), one which specifically addresses the topic of abortion. YOU NEED TO READ THE FOLLOWING EXCERPT (their assessment of where abortion providers fit into the broader medical community): [These are] men who cling to a noble profession only to dishonor it; men who seek not to save, but to destroy; men known not only to the profession, but to the public as abortionists.. These modern Herods, like their prototype, have a summary mode of dealing with their victims. They perform the triple office of Legislative, Judiciary, and Executive, and, to crown the tragedy, they become the …

A search warrant has been issued in the US for a potentially vital clue to a violent crime - a bullet lodged in a teenager's head. Texan prosecutors want the bullet, embedded under the skin in 17-year-old Joshua Bush's forehead, to be removed. They say it could help convict Mr Bush of the attempted murder of a used-car salesman in a row following a robbery. The case has raised privacy concerns, with Mr Bush's lawyers fighting to have the bullet remain in his head. 'Big old knot' Prosecutors say the 9mm bullet became lodged in the soft fatty tissue in Mr Bush's forehead in a shootout with the car salesman. Police say Alan Olive returned fire after Mr Bush tried…
