How We See The World

A student accused of selling a 'dodgy' laptop on eBay is paying the price today after embarrassing personal information about him was posted on the Internet received half a million visits. Details of Amir Tofangsazan's personal life and pictures of his friends emerged when the computer buff who forked out £375 for Tofangsazan's used laptop on the Internet auction site claimed the machine arrived two months late and didn't work. Having fixed the computer, the anonymous buyer says he found it contained all sorts of information about the seller, 18-year-old Amir. So he put it on a web page for all to see, entitled: "The Broken Laptop I Sold on eBay’. It expla…

A powerful earthquake flattened buildings in central Indonesia early Saturday, killing nearly 2,000 people and injuring thousands more in the country's worst disaster since the Asian tsunami, officials said. The magnitude 6.2 quake struck near the ancient city of Yogyakarta around dawn as many people slept, causing death and damage in many nearby towns. Roads and bridges were destroyed, hindering efforts to get the wounded to hospitals. Some phone lines also were cut. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono ordered the army to help evacuate victims, as panicked residents ran into the smoldering streets, many clutching young children. He said he would head to the disaster zon…

Police sent reinforcements to the troubled northern Paris suburbs today after a night of rioting revived fear of a return of the violence that raged through France’s immigrant housing estates last autumn. In another sign of France’s continuing racial tension the Government also ordered a high-level police inquiry into an anti-Semitic black extremist group which staged an aggressive march through the historic Jewish quarter of the capital at the weekend. Seven policemen were injured in the four hours of fighting last night in the town of Montfermeil which involved some 400 local officers and national riot police. In the fiercest clashes since last autumn, police …

Imagine that you were at work just before Christmas and you found a memo spelling out your death. Something like this: “Assassin: ‘Permission to kill X.’ Boss: ‘Yes, she’s a trouble-maker, always demanding more rights for colleagues. She must be eliminated, but postpone it till after Christmas.’” No, this is not fiction. Surreal as it may sound, this was how Shirin Ebadi found out what her government was planning for her. The exchange took place between a government minister and a member of a death squad. Only it was not Christmas. This was in Iran, during Ramadan — the holy fasting month for Muslims. Despite the fear she felt, Ebadi walked back home, prepared…

After years of hiding, former SAS soldier turned best-selling author Andy McNab has officially "come out". He appeared in person at the Hay literature festival to reveal his identity in public for the first time. Beforehand there were strict warnings, enforced by dark-suited security, that no-one could photograph him. McNab left the services to write Bravo Two Zero, about "a job" in the first Gulf War, when he and his comrades were marooned behind Iraqi lines. He said the "security stuff" was still needed - he also did SAS work in Northern Ireland - but he had decided to appear "because it felt safe to do it and.. I like this festival". "I did have a go …

'Breakfast Club' Principal Gleason Dies May 28, 5:51 PM EST The Associated Press BURBANK, Calif. -- Paul Gleason, who played the go-to bad guy in "Trading Places" and the angry high school principal in "The Breakfast Club," has died. He was 67. Gleason died at a local hospital Saturday of mesothelioma, a rare form of lung cancer linked to asbestos, said his wife, Susan Gleason. "Whenever you were with Paul, there was never a dull moment," his wife said. "He was awesome." A native of Miami, Gleason was an avid athlete.

(Long but Good article, I think anyway) Neocon Gingrich Proposes Jeb Bush as Ruler Kurt Nimmo | May 30 2006 Newt Gingrich, the neocon troll who put out a contract on America, is pushing Jeb Bush as ruler, not in 2008 but down the road, in 2012 or 2016. “I just think his natural, personal ability is so great that people are going to realize he is not his father and he’s not his brother. He’s a very unique, charismatic leader with extraordinary capabilities. … Jeb Bush may well be the most innovative (governor) in the entire country,” Gingrich averred during the taping of a St. Petersburg television show. No word if the interviewer and television crew vomited. …

Clowns' buckets of water banned by drought firm For generations, the clowns of Zippo's Circus have loved to soak each other - and occasionally the audience - with buckets of water. But their Big Top has arrived at the heart of the drought zone. So water officials have banned the clowns from using water, not just in buckets but even in water pistols and plastic flowers. Sutton and East Surrey Water Board has threatened circus owner Martin Burton with a fine of up to £5,000 and disconnection from the standpipe if the ban is flouted this weekend. The board has just introduced the toughest restrictions in the country which come in force today, as Zippo's Circ…

England striker Wayne Rooney will not be fit to resume training for six weeks, a scan on his broken metatarsal has revealed. If the six-week prediction by medical staff is correct, Rooney would be fit just two days before the final. England's first World Cup group stage match against Paraguay is on 10 June, with the final on 9 July. Rooney, 20, will have another scan on 14 June to determine what role if any he will have during the campaign.

Drinking alcohol every day protects against heart disease in men but not in women, Danish research shows. A study of 50,000 people found that men who drank daily had a 41% reduced risk of coronary heart disease compared with a 7% drop in men who drank once a week. In women, the risk of heart disease fell by a third with a weekly drink but did not fall further in daily drinkers. Experts warned the results, published in the British Medical Journal, should not be used to justify heavy drinking. Previous research has shown that moderate alcohol intake is associated with a lower risk of heart disease, but up until now most studies have been in men. Men and women aged 50-…

I was surprised that no one started a thread about this amazing colt. But now that I think about, people on this board aren't really into the racing side of the horse industry. I was just curious to see what everyone's thoughts were about Barbaro. He was a triple crown contender who won the Kentuckey Derby and was trying to win the Preakness when he took a bad step and broke 3 bones in his leg (the cannon, pastern, and part of his ankle-femis or something like that- I can't remember. haha It's been a long time since I looked at a horse's anatomy.). He underwent about 5 hours of surgery in New Bolton, PA, and had a steel plate inserted with 23 screw to keep his right…

Internet search engine Yahoo and auctioneer eBay have teamed up in an exclusive online alliance. Under the deal, Yahoo, the largest internet media firm, will be the exclusive provider of branded advertising on eBay's site. In exchange, Yahoo will use eBay's payment system PayPal, to permit its customers to pay for Yahoo services. The deal comes as both firms face stiff competition from rival Google, and are seeking new ways to gain market share. "It's a very positive for both, since eBay gets to monetise its traffic with advertising," said Marianne Wolk, an analyst with Susquehanna. Monetisation denotes a way to create revenue from a property or an asset, in this …

2006 hurricane forecast: 8-10 storms U.S. government experts say 4-6 could be ‘major’ MSNBC News Services Updated: 2:47 p.m. ET May 22, 2006 MIAMI - The 2006 Atlantic hurricane season will be very active with up to 10 hurricanes, although not as busy as record-breaking 2005, when Hurricane Katrina and several other monster storms slammed into the United States, the U.S. government's top climate agency said on Monday. “NOAA is predicting 13 to 16 named storms, with eight to 10 becoming hurricanes, of which four to six could become 'major' hurricanes of Category 3 strength or higher,” said Conrad Lautenbacher, administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmosph…

Montenegro has narrowly voted for independence from its union with Serbia, unofficial projections show. Indications are that 55.3% of voters elected to secede from Serbia, just above the 55% required for victory. Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic claimed early on Monday that his drive for independence had been successful. But official results are not expected for several hours. If confirmed, the independence vote would erase the last vestige of the former Yugoslavia. The question of independence has deeply divided Montenegro, with its opponents arguing that it will damage economic, family and political ties with Serbia. Mr Djukanovic argued that an independent Mont…
