From www.annanicole.com: In Loving Memory DANIEL WAYNE SMITH 1/22/1986 - 9/10/2006 On September 7th Anna Nicole gave birth to a healthy 6 pound, 9 ounce baby girl. Her son Daniel was in the Bahamas with her to share in the joy of his baby sister when he passed away suddenly on the morning of September 10th. We have yet to learn the cause of death but do not believe that drugs or alcohol were a factor. Anna Nicole is absolutely devastated by the loss of her son. He was her pride and joy and an amazing human being. Please do not make any press inquiries at this time so that Anna Nicole can grieve in peace. Poor Anna, how devastating!

What's the story with carbon offsetting? Al Gore's film crusade aimed at exposing the myths and misconceptions surrounding global warming's relentless march opens in Ireland this week and it won't make for comfortable viewing. In An Inconvenient Truth, Gore says that the planet may be just a decade away from a point of no return, after which extreme weather, floods, droughts, epidemics and deadly heat waves will permanently take hold. While the predictions are dire, the man who would have been president (and may be president yet) remains convinced that there is still time to make a difference. He says we cannot just continue sleepwalking towards catastrophe and if t…

Viewers' fury at Charlotte's 'sewer rat' mouth Controversy: Charlotte Church during a sketch from the show Channel 4 chiefs have been bombarded with complaints about singer Charlotte Church's foul-mouthed new chat show. Angry viewers condemned the programme as 'coarse, crude and filthy', 'immature and puerile', and 'a load of utter bilge'. One even added: 'This woman may have had the voice of an angel in the past but now she has the foul mouth of a sewer rat.' Channel 4's confidential complaints log, seen by this newspaper, shows that the bulk of the protests have been about 20-year-old Miss Church's language. The show, which begins at 10pm, fe…

Row erupts over 'PC' cemetery where headstones face Mecca Mecca, regarded the holiest place for Muslims A row has erupted over a new cemetery where all the graves will be aligned to Mecca even though Muslims will take up only a small minority of the burial plots. Headstones in the £2.5million High Wood Cemetery in Nottingham, will face north-east in accordance with the Muslim belief that the dead look over their shoulder towards Mecca, which lies south-east of Britain. The radical move - thought to be a first in this country - has upset the Church and led to complaints that the majority Christian population is being discriminated against. Christian…

'Bin Laden is dead' claim French secret service A French regional newspaper quoted a French secret service report on Saturday as saying that Saudi Arabia is convinced that al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden died of typhoid in Pakistan last month. L'Est Republicain printed what it said was a copy of the report dated September 21 and said it was shown to President Jacques Chirac, Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin and France's interior and defence ministers on the same day. "According to a usually reliable source, the Saudi services are now convinced that Osama bin Laden is dead," the document said. "The information gathered by the Saudis indicates tha…

This WAR is for REAL! Dr. Vernon Chong, Major General, USAF, Retired To get out of a difficulty, one usually must go through it. Our country is now facing the most serious threat to its existence, as we know it, that we have faced in your lifetime and mine (which includes WWII). The deadly seriousness is greatly compounded by the fact that there are very few of us who think we can possibly lose this war and even fewer who realize what losing really means. First, let's examine a few basics: 1. When did the threat to us start? Many will say September 11, 2001. The answer as far as the United States is concerned is 1979, 22 years prior to September 2001, wi…

UK music archive in decay warning Part of the UK's national music archive could be lost as a result of copyright law, the British Library has warned. The library's Sound Archive cannot copy audio from fragile or obsolete formats for posterity until copyright runs out.

Exam halls could be insulated to stop mobile phone cheats Students could be made to sit their exams in special rooms blocking mobile phone signals to stop them cheating. The extraordinary move was suggested by a Government education expert called in to investigate the rocketing numbers of pupils cheating in exams. Professor Jean Underwood was commissioned by the education watchdog, the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority, after more than 4,500 students were penalised for 'malpractice' last summer. The figure - up 27 per cent on the previous year - showed one in four had been caught smuggling mobile phones into exam rooms. It marked a worrying …

Speed camera safety record in doubt as watchdog questions statistics Speed camera policy was drawn into a new controversy after the Government's own statisticians cast doubt on the accuracy of official casualty figures. Statistics watchdogs warned that the decade of greatest speed-camera growth had not seen a massive reduction in deaths and injuries. Instead it had remained largely static and was now going up. Figures from hospitals suggest the true rate of death and serious injury could be half as many again as the number claimed by the Government which prefers to use lower figures provided by the police. But some studies go even further and sug…

Anyway, i was googling something and i came across this site. http://www.thereligionofpeace.com Current: Should the Pope apologize for saying that Islam isn't a Religion of Peace, or should Muslims apologize for having let their religion become what it is?

"You don't come into my country; you don't come into my congressional district and you don't condemn my president," Rep. Charles Rangel, D-New York, scolded Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

Los Angeles, Alta California - February 8, 2006 - (ACN) It should now be readily apparent that pro-Israel Jews in Europe and the USA are purposely fomenting violence by Muslims against the West. The constant provocations against Islam by Jews has now placed the world in dire danger. These vile instigations by International Zionists is by design and is, in addition, endangering the well being of our Mexican-American population in the Southwest. It is time to speak out against these nefarious Jewish provocateurs before it is too late. By now our readership should be aware of the current violence, property damage and deaths caused by the desecration of the Islamic faith by…

Islam against oppression and violence at all its shapes and levels, you are only has the right to get violent when you are defending yourself against attacks. The teaching of Islam are tolerant that is why it's compatible with the different eras that because it's easy going religion against extremism (quote the prophet Mohamed "The religion is ease not hardness"), At the Islamic conquerors the last thing that the Prophet Mohamed said to the troops is "Don't harm any child, women, old men, Don't cut down a tree, Don't pollute any water, Church is not to be harmed", He always thought that people should be Muslims when they are convinced, not of fear (quote the Qur'an {t…

Is there a property in London Abramovich won't buy? He is - most famously - the owner of Chelsea Football Club. But it now appears billionaire Roman Abramovich is trying to buy up the rest of West London as well. Over the past 20 months the Russian tycoon has spent £49.3million on four houses in Belgravia and four luxury apartments in Lowndes Square, Knightsbridge. His spending spree on the houses began in June last year when he bought a property in Chester Square for £9.3million, and then paid exactly the same amount for a house behind it in Ebury Mews. In June this year he bought the house next door in Chester Square for £10.3million, according to Land Regi…

Iraqi Tribes Turn on al Qaeda September 22, 2006: Coalition forces in Iraq have suddenly received the manpower equivalent of three light infantry divisions. They did not suffer any repercussions in domestic politics as a result, and now have a huge edge over al-Qaeda in al-Anbar province. How did this happen? Tribal leaders in the largely Sunni province on the Syrian border got together and signed an agreement to raise a tribal force of 30,000 fighters to take on foreign fighters and terrorists. These leaders have thrown in with the central government in Baghdad. This is a decisive blow to al Qaeda, which has been desperately trying to fight off an Iraqi government …

Emperor Blair's loss of reality is now total British politics this weekend is defined by one gruesome paradox. Tony Blair is finished. Yet he still commands, or at any rate makes, regular appearances on the stage. There is endless, lively speculation about how much longer he will remain Prime Minister. Some surmise that he will amaze everyone and announce his resignation at his party conference speech in Manchester next Tuesday. Those who care for Tony Blair, and want him to preserve his health and in due course regain his sanity, ought to be urging him to take this wholly sensible precaution. It would guarantee him waves of affectionate applause from …
