A California student set a world record for solving the Rubik's Cube puzzle, turning the tiles from scrambled to solved in just 11.13 seconds. Leyan Lo, 20, is a member of the Californian Institute of Technology's Rubik's Cube club, which hosted the contest in San Francisco. Mr Lo's time of 11.13 seconds broke the record of 11.75 seconds set by Frenchman Jean Pons last year.
But Mr Lo was beaten to the overall champion's title, which is determined by averaging three of five solution times in the final round. Shotaro Makisumi, a 15-year-old from Pasadena, won with an average time of 14.91 seconds.

A billy goat did some rough, instant justice to the President when his motorcade stopped to refuel en-route to the eastern resorts of Nyanga. The president, popularly known as Bob got out to stretch his legs, and speak to a couple locals. He was holding a bottle of water, when a Billy goat developed a profound interest and chose to pursue it. Whilst Bob swung the bottle at the goat, it quickly and sharply pierced Bob's scrotum, and large bowel. Mugabe's notorious bodyguards seemed unable to prevent the attack as the goat lunged towards the president, perhaps the goat should be handling his security in future. By the time they reached Christmas pass outside mutare, the President was in horrible pain and had to be rushed to a secret location in Mutare for medical treatment.
It is not clear why the president was visiting Nyanga but Zimdaily understands Mugabe has a secret passion for gambling. He is rumoured to have visited Montclair Hotel in Nyanga endless times to fulfill his gambling desires, as he cannot use the facilities in Harare Showgrounds for security reasons. Grace Mugabe, the president's young wife, is believed to be in Pretoria doing what she does best, last minute shopping for Xmas.
Rumours are mounting that the couple have a strained relationship and to be in separate countries so close to the festive season is a telling indicator that this is indeed likely to be true. It is almost common knowledge that they no longer sleep in the same bed, so this twist in events is unlikely to make that much of a difference to a marriage that seems to revolve around convenience. This sure might affect Bob's next marriage, though.
The president is also rumoured to be in the process of acquiring a private jet to allow him to make more frequent, long distance trips more securely and to reduce the burden of fueling hassles. He is expected to join Grace and the children in South Africa once the doctors give him the all clear. A search didn't turn this one up, so I thought I'd make sure everyone got to feel the joy. Let's all hope a major infection sets in and they have to amputate.

Thank you Steve. I did a search and nothing showed. This showed up in my Sunday newspaper. I knew this one couldn't have slipped through the cracks, hereabouts.
A DETECTIVE is facing disciplinary action by his force for referring to a career criminal as âpondlifeâ in a private conversation with another officer. The detective constable, who faces possible dismissal from his job, has been told that the criminal âmight have been offendedâ had he heard the remark, although he was not present at the time.
The officer was informed that he will be subject to disciplinary action together with three colleagues â a detective sergeant, a uniformed sergeant and a constable â after covert video recordings were made of them at their police station in Nottingham. The other officers are accused of also using âinappropriate languageâ in private conversations. All four have been taken off frontline duties that might bring them into contact with members of the public while they await formal decisions as to their futures.
The covert taping was being carried out by Nottinghamshire police to investigate alleged corruption by another member of staff. The officers facing disciplinary action are not suspected of any criminal activity and the fact that their comments were recorded was a coincidence.
However, the forceâs professional standards department decided last year to place all four officers on so-called âregulation nineâ notices signalling disciplinary action even though no complaints had been received from other staff or members of the public. After the corruption inquiry has been concluded, the deputy chief constable, Howard Roberts, will review the allegations and decide whether to carry out a full inquiry which could result in the officersâ dismissal.
Critics have called the affair âludicrousâ. Mick Taylor, chairman of the Nottinghamshire branch of the Police Federation, which represents rank-and-file officers, said: âThere has been an accusation that some words have been said that may have caused offence to a career criminal if he had been present, even though he wasnât.
âThis is a man of the criminal fraternity who has a number of convictions. So it does seem ludicrous that we have to go to these levels, but that is the way life is now.
âThis was a private conversation between colleagues and surely people have got a right to that? A personal view is that if no members of the public or work colleagues have made complaints, then I question the need for disciplinary action.â
The officer accused of corruption offences, PC Charles Fletcher, who faces a charge of conspiring to commit misconduct in a public office and two counts of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, is due to be tried later this year.
Taylor said: âNow the officers on the disciplinary notices will have to wait until after the corruption inquiry is finished and all trials conducted before the video-taped evidence can be examined and that may take a long time.
âSome of these officers have got 20 or more years of service and commendations to their name and they donât deserve to have this hanging over them for so long.â
A source close to the four officers said: âIt is difficult enough for officers to carry out their frontline duties without having to battle political correctness as well.â
A Nottinghamshire police spokesman said: âWe can confirm that four members of staff have been served with regulation nine notices, which informs (them) they are being investigated on internal professional misconduct matters.â

This is courting disaster. If they start turning out expert police, they risk creating master criminals. Not only do police know most of the tricks of the trade, they are not necessarily motivated by the same things that are criminals, so can be damnably hard to catch.
A cop with a grudge, a plan, and a sense of humor, can wreak havoc, and get away with it. Hopefully, if it happens, it will be focused on utterly humiliating and ruining those individuals who foisted P.C. on the police in the first place.
Otherwise, creating several Professor Moraritys may not be a good thing at all.

You know it's bad when the police are handcuffing each other. Crimeney, the chap said "pondlife" not (the more appropriate) "pondscum." What's next, sensitivity courses for what to do when apprehending serial rapists and paedophiles?

I think they already have those--they said something something about taking off your shoes before entering their homes and making sure not to show up during their prayer times.
Cuban President Fidel Castro climbed aboard a Chinese locomotive and hailed growing economic links with the Communist nation for helping to undermine a four-decade-old U.S. trade embargo.
"The only thing we have to say to them (the United States) is forget your transition plans and that you wipe all that garbage from your mind," the 79-year-old Castro said in a Saturday speech broadcast on Sunday.He was referring to U.S. efforts to hasten a Cuban transition to capitalism through economic sanctions.
The locomotive was one of 12 delivered this year under a $400 million Chinese government trade credit Cuba is using to upgrade its transportation system and infrastructure.
The official media reported that Castro received the locomotives at a Saturday evening ceremony and that they cost $1.3 million each, compared with $3 million for a similar U.S. locomotive.
"Cuba will need around 100 locomotives in the coming years," a transportation official told Reuters recently. Cuba purchased 1,000 buses from China last year and Castro said he would buy another 1,000 this year. "We are also planning to buy more than 4,000 trucks, thousands of jeeps and cars, school buses and more," a Cuban economist said, asking that her name not be used.
U.S. President George W. Bush imposed new sanctions on Cuba in 2004 and has increased enforcement of the trade embargo in an effort to topple Castro, a feat U.S. presidents since Dwight Eisenhower have failed to accomplish. The Bush administration has also established a cabinet-level transition commission and appointed a Cuba transition coordinator in the hope, it says, of ending Castro's 47 years in power.
Despite the new sanctions, the Cuban economy is showing signs of recovering from a devastating crisis that followed the demise of former-benefactor the Soviet Union.
An oil for medical services agreement with Venezuela as well as payments for services provided to the oil-rich nation and other Latin American countries led to a $2 billion increase in Cuban imports last year, with China and Venezuela reaping most of the increased sales.
"Two-way trade has reached record levels and we hope it will continue to expand steadily," China's commercial counselor in Havana, Yang Shidi, told Reuters on Friday.
Cuban officials said total trade between the two countries reached $1 billion last year as China rose from fourth to second place among Cuba's most important trading partners, displacing Spain and Canada.
China is selling Cuba millions of television sets, refrigerators, electric cookers, rice steamers and light bulbs as part of the Caribbean island's efforts to replace old Soviet and even 1950s U.S. appliances with more energy efficient ones.
"We want to promote the best possible cooperation with Cuba to build socialism in each country," China's ambassador to Cuba, Zhao Rongxian, said at Saturday's ceremony.
#1
Yeah, and the Chinese product will break because it wasn't built to spec, and the factory managers lined their pockets by cutting corners when the owners weren't looking. Unless you've got your own people on the ground, buying Chinese is buying a pig in a poke.

Yo, Fidel: explain to us exactly why you want the sanctions ended.
You have a choice: either the US is the great satan, or it's just a truculent neighbor. If the former, then you don't want to trade with the devil, now do you? You'll get cooties and your people will start getting ideas. That's bad for your health and for your revolution (which isn't going to last 15 minutes after you're cavorting in hell with Himmler).
If we're just a truculent neighbor, then understand that we've got the money, technology and the clout, and all you have are fine beaches and hookers. Trade's going to be some one-sided for a while. We take cash, no credit.
So make up your mind, and please don't announce it at the end of a six-hour speech.

ALMATY -An opposition leader in Kazakhstan returned to Almaty on Sunday, the day after being released from prison where he was held since 2002 on charges of abusing his power as a former regional governor. The freed leader, Galymzhan Zhakyanov, was met at the train station by the current head of the main opposition and several hundred supporters.
âThis is a day for justice, the ruling power has bowed to international pressure and civil rule,â said Zharmakhan Tuyakbai, leader of the opposition movement called âFor a Just Kazakhstanâ and an unsuccessful candidate in last monthâs presidential election.
âWe have waited for this for such a long time.... Itâs a very emotional moment, I donât know what to say,â said Karlygach Zhakyanova, the freed leaderâs wife. The 42-year-old Zhakyanov stepped off the train, smiling, but made no comment about his release.
âHis return will strengthen the opposition, thatâs certain. But it is not possible to say what his role and his positions will be,â said Yevgeny Zhovtis, leader of the International Office for Human Rights in Kazakhstan.
Zhakyanov, who in 2001 founded the opposition Democratic Choice of Kazakhstan party which was outlawed three years later, was freed under a provision in the law allowing detainees to be released on parole after having served half their sentences. Considered by the human rights group Amnesty International as a political prisoner, Zhakyanov could still be returned to jail if he violates the law.

"If you look at what most other money going into China is earning, it is not that inefficient," said Chew. "If you don't invest in U.S. bonds, what do you invest in?"
True. As for the part at the end where they suggest that China wants to build a strategic petrol reserve, er... it's fairly certain they already have.
These reserves help keep the price of energy at the retail level lower than market. They allow the economy to support the 50% plus bad loan rate of the banking industry. They allow the central planners to continue to refuse to open their financial markets to foreign banks for debt repricing and refinancing. And, it provides a buffer for the lies that will, sooner rather than later, catch up to the central planners.
#2
So they dump the American dollars. The dollars plummet. Big time inflation. American's can't buy foreign goods. Cheaper for Walmart to produce in Mississippi and Louisiana. Socialist Europe with low per capita discretionary spending because of massive taxes and dependency on now even more expensive oil can't take up the production difference from China. Chinese factories close. An explosion of unemployment and destruction of the 'good future' for most Chinese spell disorder and discontent across the landscape. Revolution. Sounds like a plan to me. Heh.
#4
These reserves help keep the price of energy at the retail level lower than market.
If the reserves to which this refers are petroleum reserves, they have raised the price of energy in the past by artificially raising demand. If the reserves are kept in the ground they have no effect on price. When they are used, they will lower demand and thus reduce the price for oil.
"If you don't invest in U.S. bonds, what do you invest in?"
U. S. companies. U. S. real estate. Or foreign companies and assets whose owners will accept dollars.

In 20 years the US has gone from balanced trade with China to a deficit of $200 billion in 2006. Just the last 10 years, we has seen a $956 billion trade deficit and the gutting most manufacturing industries, and increasingly tech industries. Also notice that in that time, China has been running a trade deficit with the rest of the world.

Hopefully the ass will lose by a startlingly large margin, and the lesson learned will be to not insult the Americans. Although if he merely loses, and no other lesson is learnt, I can live with that.
Mayor Ray Nagin suggested Monday that Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and other storms were a sign that "God is mad at America" and at black communities, too, for tearing themselves apart with violence and political infighting.
"Surely God is mad at America. He sent us hurricane after hurricane after hurricane, and it's destroyed and put stress on this country," Nagin, who is black, said as he and other city leaders marked Martin Luther King Day.
"Surely he doesn't approve of us being in Iraq under false pretenses. But surely he is upset at black America also. We're not taking care of ourselves."
Nagin also promised that New Orleans will be a "chocolate" city again. Many of the city's black neighborhoods were heavily damaged by Katrina.
"It's time for us to come together. It's time for us to rebuild New Orleans â the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans," the mayor said. "This city will be a majority African American city. It's the way God wants it to be. You can't have New Orleans no other way. It wouldn't be New Orleans."
Nagin described an imaginary conversation with King, the late civil rights leader.
"I said, `What is it going to take for us to move on and live your dream and make it a reality?' He said, `I don't think that we need to pay attention any more as much about other folks and racists on the other side.' He said, `The thing we need to focus on as a community â black folks I'm talking about â is ourselves.'"
Nagin said he also asked: "Why is black-on-black crime such an issue? Why do our young men hate each other so much that they look their brother in the face and they will take a gun and kill him in cold blood?"
The reply, Nagin said, was: "We as a people need to fix ourselves first."
Nagin also said King would have been dismayed with black leaders who are "most of the time tearing each other down publicly for the delight of many."
A day earlier, gunfire erupted at a parade to commemorate King's birthday. Three people were wounded in the daylight shooting amid a throng of mostly black spectators, but police said there were no immediate suspects or witnesses.

Nagin, who is black . . . also promised that New Orleans would be a "chocolate city" again.
Oh, thank goodness. At last someone is combating the jackbootneoconracistwhitehomophobicfascistrepublican plan to whiten New Orleans. Mayor Nagin to the rescue--again!
#2
Forgive me for pointing out the obvious, Mayor Ray, but it wasn't America that got whacked, it was New Orleans. Just maybe, God is mad at YOU and your sorry-ass attempt at running a city.
Have those buses at the Ray Nagin Memorial Motor Pool dried out yet?

Pat Robertson says something like this, and the entire MSM declares he's delusional and a moral idiot. Ray Nagin says it, and it's greeted as the sterling truth. Just another bit of evidence that the mainstream media has nothing to do with truth, integrity, or news.

Nagin also promised that New Orleans will be a "chocolate" city again. Many of the city's black neighborhoods were heavily damaged by Katrina.
Translation: "I need my hapless supplicant underclass back again or my incompetent chocolate ass will be voted out of office at the next election."
A variety of historical, demographic, and economic factors aligned to make New Orleans a uniquely awful place to be poor and black. It isn't instructive to view New Orleans' problems as black/white because the city's privileged ruling class is in fact creole.
Louisiana's French past has given it a French-flavored present. It's the most corrupt state in the union. Corruption is theft and theft is the very opposite of wealth creation. After a while lack of opportunity takes its toll on a person's will, and resignation rules the day. The post-hurricane flood created an imperative for much of the underclass to leave. Many of them aren't hurrying to rush back, either because of their aforementioned resignation, or because they've found genuine opportunity elsewhere.
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has said it will not permit the decommissioned French aircraft carrier, Clemenceau, to dock in the country as it is carrying toxic waste.
However, the apex court also modified the order after the owners said they would satisfy the court that the ship has no pollutants on board.
Shipping Decommissioning Industry Corporation (SDIC), the French owners, also gave an undertaking that Clemenceau will not enter India's exclusive economic zone while the matter is sub-judice.
The two-judge bench comprising justices Arijit Pasayat and S.H. Kapadia said: "We don't want the environment to be polluted. When the French government had not permitted the ship to be broken there, why should we allow the ship to come to India?"
"Whether breaking the ship will result in pollution or not is immaterial. The best thing will be to ask the ship to go back from where it started," the court observed.
The observation came when the bench took up for consideration the report of the Supreme Court Monitoring Committee on Hazardous Waste that met in Mumbai earlier this month, stating that the ship should not be allowed to enter Indian waters as it contained a large quantity of asbestos.
Clemenceau, heading for the Alang ship-breaking yard in Gujarat, is facing protests from environmental groups in India who say it is carrying 45 tons of hazardous asbestos.

The irony of this is the ignorance of asbestos. It comes in two forms, long fiber and short fiber. The long fiber stuff is determineably deadly; it is also quite uncommon in asbestos.
Most asbestos is short fiber, which with a modicum of protective equipment, is no great threat, any more than ordinary silica is for silicosis, or coal for "black lung" disease.
I saw a story on the Indian shipbreaking "yards" on National Geographic once. They run the ship at full speed up on the beach at high tide and this gang of men swarm over it and take them apart piece by piece with hand tools. Only protective gear would be a pair of sneakers.

A man-centric occupation till now, the fire services in India now has its first woman firefighter. Twenty-six-year old, Harshini Kanhekar was recently designated as fire engineer and selected to join the Oil and Natural Gas Commission (ONGC). Desiring to be in any uniformed service, she created history by opting to join the fire engineering course at the National Fire Service College (NFSC) in Nagpur, Maharashtra in 2002.
In a interview with Gulf News, Nagpur-based Harshini admitted having shocked her own parents by her decision. "They were stunned when I informed them about securing admission at NFSC." The NFSC is considered one of the finest fire training institutions in Asia that functions under the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair would make a "good" secretary general of the United Nations, former US president Bill Clinton has said. Clinton said he had discussed Blair's future with him and told him there was "a lot of good you can do in the world" after leaving Number 10.
The current UN chief, Kofi Annan, ends his term not soon enough on 31 December this year.
Blair has said he would step down before the next general election, but has not revealed his future plans. When asked on BBC2's Newsnight if Blair should run for UN secretary general, Mr Clinton responded: "That would suit me. He would be a good one."
Far better than Billy-boy himself.
"What I would say to him and what I have said to him - I saw him actually last month - is that, when he does go, he's still got a lot he can do, a lot of good you can do in the world and that's the most important thing," Clinton said. "You can... take a position, or you can do what I do - just create your own operation and try to find some public good you can do as a private citizen."
Since his own retirement from leading a country in 2000, Clinton has been in the company of multiple good-looking women established a foundation campaigning on issues such as the fight against HIV/Aids. "This has been an immensely rewarding phase of my life and I think he will find immense rewards when his service is done," Clinton added.

Nope. Nope. Joe Mendiola is a stone cold lock for SecGen. And he's gonna need a lot of 'advisers'. I'm polishing my resume next week...
An appeals court gave new life Friday to the defense of a former Green Beret doctor convicted of the 1970 murders of his wife and daughters, ruling that his lawyers can introduce evidence that a prosecutor threatened a witness.
A panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., granted a motion by Jeffrey MacDonald's lawyers to present the new evidence in Raleigh federal court. It could result in a new trial, said Hart Miles, one of MacDonald's attorneys.
The defense filed the motion last month, after a former deputy U.S. marshal came forward last year to say he heard a defense witness tell a prosecutor she was in the MacDonald home in Fort Bragg, N.C., on the night of the slayings. Jimmy B. Britt, part of the security detail during MacDonald's 1979 trial, said he heard prosecutor James Blackburn tell Helena Stoeckley that he would indict her for murder if she told the same story on the witness stand. Stoeckley later testified she could not remember where she was the night of the slayings.

My problem with the whole affair is that the man stood Court Martial which is a federal court and was acquitted. In total disregard of Constitutional protection against double jeopardy, he was triad again in a civilian criminal court for the same offensive and found guilty. Whether he did it or not, the system demonstrated that regardless of what the Constitution says, fundamental guarantees mean nothing. Now if he had been a member of what the judiciary declares to be a 'protected group' I'm sure the second trial would never had happen.
