Wesley Snipes Sentence to Three Years in Jail
Thu, 24 Apr 2008 18:51:43 PDT
All of a sudden, Miley Cyrus giving fans a glimpse of her bra doesn’t seem like that big a deal in the world of entertainment news. Actor Wesley Snipes has been sentence to three years in prison as punishment for failing to file his tax returns. The actor sat stone-faced – while many in the courtroom gasped – when the sentence was read. “I’m very sorry for my mistakes and errors. I apologize to my family, the court and the community,” Snipes said. “I’ve asked the court to show me mercy and th

Try being in a library at 2.33am having polished off a delicious bagel and a cuppa. Though the wad of notes next to me makes me inclined to work, I’d rather do anything else. Even sit on flickr and find cheesy photos of my friends taken without their knowledge. Here are a bunch of sexy snaps of the usual suspects from Southbank, I won’t name and shame either the riders or the photographers, because that’d be mean. All I’m going to give away is that Tim is looking rather pensieve in his picture
Excerpts from Bill Moyers’ Interview of Jeremiah Wright
Thu, 24 Apr 2008 18:52:17 PDT
Guest post by DRJ] Jake Tapper at ABC News reports excerpts from tomorrow night’s PBS-Bill Moyers interview of Jeremiah Wright: “The persons who have heard the entire sermon understand the communication perfectly,” he tells Moyers, according to excerpts released by Moyers’ show. “When something is taken like a sound bite for a political purpose and put constantly over and over again, looped in the face of the public,” Wright says, “that’s not a failure to communicate. Those who are doing th
Ben Cohen: Why The Left Must Shout Louder
Thu, 24 Apr 2008 18:52:21 PDT
The recent collapse of the U.S financial industry and the tailspin into recession seems not to have dented neoconservative confidence. Incredibly, there are those still defending the economic system responsible for the crisis, beating the drums for less regulation and increased trade liberalization. In the mean time, tax payers are busy bailing out the companies that insisted on less government intervention, acting as a financial safety net for the rich while their own living standards decline.
More on Homo floresiensis bipedalism and a bit on Homo floresiensis dental work
Thu, 24 Apr 2008 18:53:28 PDT
A week ago, I shared with you news of Bill Jungers’ conclusions on how the morphology of the Homo floresiensis foot affected its locomotion. Science has dedicated a short two page ditty on this topic and you may wanna check it out for a more authoritative take on it. In other related Homo floresiensis news, John Hawks was contacted by Peter Brown who wanted to share his response to the claims that the LB1 specimen showed signs of recent dental work. I didn’t share this news, which first reall
IP in the News: Some Fashion Designers Sue Innovators; Others Just Innovate
Thu, 24 Apr 2008 18:53:47 PDT
The March 31 issue of Business Week had an interesting article on recent efforts by some fashion designers to sue their copiers, "Put a Patent on That Pleat." Stuart Weitzman and Diane von Furstenberg sued a couple competitors, including Target, which copied von Furstenberg's "spotted frog" print. Target spinelessly caved in and stopped selling its frog knockoffs, saying it respected others' "intellectual property." This is the kind of stuff Ayn Rand meant when she talked about "the sanction of
