BRITNEY Spears has flipped her lid in rehab, trying to hang herself with a bedsheet after screaming "I am the anti-christ" to frightened staff.
She made the demonic cry after scrawling the devil's number "666" across her head.
Spears's manic behaviour has concerned relatives who once again fear for her safety, and has staff at the Promises Clinic in Malibu, California struggling to cope.
The former chart-topper's troubles have been revealed in Britain's News Of the World, which broke the exclusive story.
Within days of her suicidal behaviour, Spears - who was in and out of rehab before shaving her own head and later attacking a photographer's car with an umbrella - was begging estranged husband Kevin Federline not only for a reconciliation, but demanding she wanted to soon have another baby.
The ordeal began when she terrified staff by writing the number of the beast on her head and running around the clinic screaming, "I am the anti-christ!"
"The clinic people just didn't know what to do," a friend claimed.
The pop star then tried to hang herself with a bedsheet was but was found before she could hurt herself.

At least 40 people have been killed in landslides triggered by heavy rains on the eastern Indonesian island of Flores, and dozens more are still missing, officials said on Saturday. Entire houses were washed away by flash floods, and authorities said rescue teams had still not been able to reach some of the affected areas.
Around 80 people were reported missing and presumed dead buried by landslides and washed away by flash floods. However, only 40 bodies were recovered as of Saturday evening. Of 73 people reported (missing), we have recovered 40 bodies. Four people were found alive and we are still searching for 29 more people, district police chief Santoso Ginting said on MetroTV.
The injured were being treated in the local subdistrict health centre. No further details were available on their condition. As of 6:45 pm (1045 GMT) evacuation efforts are still underway, Johnny Erasmus from the disaster management coordination office here told AFP. He said search and rescue efforts will continue for the next seven days.

I don't find any of this surprising. When you have an ins'allah ("it's the will of Allah") attitude about whatever happens, when you depend upon the Koran to explain EVERYTHING and ignore science, geography, and common sense, you're leaving yourself wide open to every natural disaster in the book. The Koran is worthless to explain how to live in a place like Indonesia, since it was written in, and for, desert-dwellers. If islam wasn't so da$$$$ insistent it has to micro-manage every single minute of its followers lives, they might actually live a bit longer, and be a bit more prosperous.

My heart pumps piss. Is Bashir dead yet?
A poster over at JW contributed an interesting anecdote about one of the recent natural disasters to befall Indonesia;
Christians had been informed by their town's mayor that they were no longer welcome to hold any religious services within the city limits. As the group gathered for worship on Christmas morning, they walked for a while until they spotted a cleared hilltop.
They arrived at the summit and began their celebration of Christ's birth just in time to watch the entire town spread out beneath them get washed away by a tsunami.
Egyptian women must not sit as judges because it would be against Islamic law or Sharia as they would have to spend time alone with men, a male Egyptian judge was quoted as saying Saturday. A woman judge would "contradict Article Two of the constitution," which states that the principal source of legislation is Sharia, judges' syndicate president Yahia Ragheb Daqruri said.
The judges' syndicate position "is based on the consensus of doctors of law and the principles of Sharia," the Al Masri Al Yom daily quoted Daqruri as saying. "When a woman works as a judge, her work requires her to be alone in a room with two or more male judges to deliberate ... Is this appropriate? Citizens and others present [in court] will be surprised by the presence of a woman judge. A woman judge will also become pregnant at some point, and that will certainly have an impact on the judiciary's prestige and on judges' public image," he said, without elaborating. "Giving birth can also have an impact on the cases she is dealing with being dealt with correctly," he said, again without elaborating.
Egypt was the first Arab country to give women the franchise in 1956. Increasing conservatism in society over the past several decades has slowed their progress in the public sphere, however. On January 27, the Akhbar Al Yom daily carried a fatwa or edict by chief mufti Sheikh Ali Gomaa saying that Islam forbids women from becoming heads of state because it would require them to lead prayer - something only a man can do. But he later said that Islam does not bar women from becoming heads of state, insisting that he had been referring to "the traditional role of Caliph as both secular head of state and imam of the Muslims," that was abolished with the fall of the Ottoman empire in 1924.

Zimbabwe, which has battled severe fuel shortages over the past seven years, has begun receiving fuel supplies from the central African country of Equatorial Guinea. President Robert Mugabe, who was on a three-day state visit to Namibia, said Equatorial Guinea had already sent some fuel at favourable terms to Zimbabwe.
They are providing us with crude oil at favourable terms. We only have to pay after every three months, said Mugabe. Equatorial Guinea is the third biggest oil producer in sub-Saharan Africa. Zimbabwe has battled to raise about US$120 million that is needed every month for fuel supplies with most garages around the country going for months on end without receiving any supplies.
Zimbabwe and Equatorial Guinea enjoy warm relations particularly after Harare helped thwart a military coup organized by South African and British mercenaries against the central African countrys President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo about two years ago.

East Guinea's dictator will keep sending oil to Zim as a thank you to Mugabe for saving his butt against the mercs. Peas in a pod, the pair of Presidents-for-Life.
The Zimbabwean government has admitted that state agents are jamming radio broadcasts by foreign stations deemed hostile to President Robert Mugabe's government, state media reported on Thursday. "We cannot allow foreigners to invade our airwaves without our authority," Bright Matonga, the Deputy Minister of Information and Publicity, was quoted by the Herald newspaper as saying in Parliament.
Matonga was responding to a question from opposition lawmaker Willias Madzimure on why the government was interfering with radio broadcasts from Voice of America's Studio Seven. "We will continue to do it," Matonga told the house. "We need to protect our sovereignty. If you go to England, you will not receive [broadcasts from] any foreign radio station."
Another private radio station, SW Radio Africa, complained last year that state agents were interfering with its broadcasts. The London-based radio station, known for its opposition to Mugabe's rule, operated in a Harare hotel until it was shut down in 2002.
There are no private radio stations operating in Zimbabwe despite an amendment six years ago to the broadcasting law, which was designed to end the monopoly of the government-run Zimbabwe Broadcasting Holdings. Many Zimbabweans have turned to foreign-based radio stations for an alternative to broadcasts by government-controlled radio and television stations.
Three years ago the Zimbabwean government passed tough media laws that have been evoked to shut down five independent newspapers. The authorities have also proposed a new law to allow state agents to set up an interception centre to eavesdrop on private conversations and monitor faxes and emails.
As Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez further tightens control of the South American country's economy, wealthy Venezuelans who once thought they could live with his socialist edicts are turning to their backup plan - flight to the United States, particularly Florida.
Venezuelans have long gobbled up condos and pre-construction deals in Florida as investments, but the latest buyers want homes where they can live and business properties that will help them earn a green card. "First the people who come are the businessmen in the highest circles, then the losing politicians, then the military and then the professionals," said Miami-based immigration attorney Oscar Levin. "You're beginning to see the (Venezuelan) professionals."
This latest and largest potential group of emigrants say they fear the effect Chavez's socialist policies will have on the economy and on proposed educational reforms that could mirror the ideologically imbued education of Chavez ally and mentor, Cuba's Fidel Castro. "There is so much insecurity, political insecurity, economic insecurity," said Venezuelan Miguel Medina, a business executive who moved to the Miami in August. "You don't know if a contract you signed today will be honored by the government in the future....This was definitely my plan B, but it was time to do the plan B."
Between 2000 - a year after Chavez took office - and 2005, the number of Venezuelans living in the U.S. doubled to about 160,000, according to the latest U.S. Census numbers. Nearly half live in Florida.

Nothing should be free! Declare Forida, Texas, California, and Arizona Federal Foreign Resettlement Zones (FFRZ) and create a special lifetime IRS tax for those entering from other lands. This would discourage float-bys and help even the score a bit in health care, law enforcement and education.

Missed the article yesterday where the oil companies were seriously planning to cut and run if Chavez continues his attempted grab of their assets?
Concensus is if they leave, the oil money stops instantly, and the venezuelan finance minister is sweating bullets, the oil companies are NOT playing, "Screw with us and we ruin you" is the message here.

Simply put, the Venezuelans that are fleeing Chavez did NOT put him into power : he won riding the poor and Indian vote into office. The wealthy and educated overwhelmingly {upwards of 90%} voted AGAINST Chavez. These are the individuals of means and education that are fleeing the storm that will swamp their homeland, and we want them to come here and become very grateful to us. That way, when Chavez gets himself overthrown and executed, the very people needed to rebuild the country will be in the US and we will have a certain measure of control over them.
Also, the oil industry in Venezuela is very dependent on US expertise, refineries, and equipment : Venezuela crude is thick, gooey, sulfuric crap that takes a specific refinery setup to crack into anything resembling a useful product. If Exxon and the others leave, Chavez has 6 months before the oil industry collapses around him.
President Chen Shui-bian made unusually strong pro-independence remarks Sunday in a message apparently aimed at provoking rival China and shoring up his base.
"Taiwan should be independent," Chen said to cheers at a banquet marking the 25th anniversary of the Formosan Association for Public Affairs, a pro-independence group.
"Taiwan is a country whose sovereignty lies outside the People's Republic of China," he said, referring to the mainland Chinese government.
China and Taiwan split amid civil war in 1949 when the communists defeated the ruling Nationalist Party, which retreated to the island of Taiwan.
Both sides initially sought to rule both Taiwan and the mainland. But Taiwan's stance shifted after Chen's election in 2000, which marked the end of Nationalist rule. He has since taken steps to assert Taiwan's separate identity.
In the past year, Chen has substituted "Taiwan" for "China" at the post office and two large government-owned companies. He also removed late Nationalist leader Chiang Kai-shek's name from Taiwan's main international airport and ordered the dismantling of hundreds of Chiang statues at military bases throughout the island.
Chen's remarks came after Beijing said Sunday it will hike military spending by 17.8 percent in 2007. The Chinese military budget is largely oriented toward any possible conflicts with Taiwan and its increase has worried the island's leaders.
Hoping to beef up its defenses, Taiwan recently sought to buy 218 AMRAAM medium range air-to-air missiles and another 235 Maverick missiles from the U.S. for an estimated $421 million.
Beijing lashed out at the proposed arms sale Friday, calling it a "rude interference into China's internal affairs."
The Taiwanese leader's comments Sunday also appear aimed at galvanizing his supporters ahead of legislative elections in December and next year's presidential election, as his party recovers from a series of alleged corruption scandals.
Chen's wife and three presidential aides were indicted last November for allegedly skimming from a special presidential fund used to promote Taiwanese diplomatic activities abroad.
The scandal has prompted protests calling for Chen's resignation.

Anarchists from across northern Europe flocked to join protesters in the Danish capital on Saturday after two nights of riots sparked by the eviction of squatters from an abandoned building that had been a center for young leftists and punk rockers.
More than 500 people, including scores of foreigners, have been arrested since the riots started Thursday. Authorities said more than 200 were arrested early Saturday following overnight clashes in which demonstrators pelted police with cobblestones and set fire to cars.
Police said 50 more people were arrested as scuffles broke out in various parts of the city early Sunday after a day of relative calm. Several fires were set across the city, but the level of violence was far less than it had been over the previous two nights. One protester was reportedly wounded in violence Saturday, while 25 were injured the night before in what police have called Denmark's worst riots in a decade.
Police said activists from Sweden, Norway and Germany had joined hundreds of Danish youth in the protests. Sympathy protests were held in Germany, Norway, Sweden and Finland. Peter Vesterheden, the head of Copenhagen's prisons, said 25 foreigners had been arrested.
Critics said the demonstrations were misguided because they target a Scandinavian welfare state that ranks among the world's most egalitarian countries. "The spoiled kids in the Youth House woke up to reality in Danish society where you have a job and pay rent," Anders Fredrik Mihle of the governing Liberal Party's youth wing said, referring to the building where the squatters had been evicted. Like its neighbors, Denmark has a generous welfare system supported by high taxes. Education is free and health services are heavily subsidized. However, leftists have criticized the center-right government for eroding the system with proposed reforms including raising the retirement age and trimming student grants.
The protesters see their fight to keep the "Youth House," a four-story building used by young squatters since the 1980s, as symbolic of a wider struggle against a capitalist establishment. "This is a display of anger and rage after more than seven years of struggle to keep what is ours," said Jan, a 22-year-old activist who has been coming to the building for the last 10 years. He declined to give his last name, saying that was the norm among people frequenting the building.
The riots were sparked when an anti-terror squad on Thursday evicted the squatters from the red brick building with graffiti-covered walls. Built in 1897, it was a community theater for the labor movement and a culture and conference center; Vladimir Lenin was among its visitors. In recent years, it has hosted concerts with performers like Australian Nick Cave and Icelandic singer Bjork.
As news of the riots spread, sympathizers around Europe rallied support for the protesters. The Danes warned like-minded foreigners Saturday that the borders were tightening after two nights of clashes had turned the normally quiet streets of Copenhagen into a battle zone. "Solidarity among people has no borders, just like the Spanish civil war or the youth rebellion in the late 1960s. People recognize themselves in such causes," said Rene Karpantschof, a sociology lecturer at the University of Copenhagen and former squatter.
The eviction had been planned since last year, when courts ordered the squatters to hand the building over to a Christian congregation that bought it six years ago. The squatters said the city had no right to sell the building, and they demanded another building for free as a replacement. Police spokesman Flemming Steen Munch said officers searched more than 10 homes in Copenhagen in an effort to track down activists. Meanwhile, vandals covered Copenhagen's famed Little Mermaid statue with pink paint, but Munch could not say whether the vandalism was linked to the riots.
Copenhagen residents had mixed feelings about the demonstrations. "The idea of an alternative society is good," said Berit Larsen, 57, as she watched a peaceful demonstration against the eviction on Saturday afternoon. "We need to have room for everyone but the violence we have seen is not what I consider an alternative way for society."

If Denmark hanged a few foreign and domestic anarchists as agents of piracy and insurrection the problem would come to a sudden stop. I would immediately double my weekly havarti purchase in solidarity.

It's party time! Let's all get together for an old-fashioned street protest! You know the leftists treat this sort of thing as an event somewhere around the entertainment value of a good college football bowl game.

What BP says -- these are extreme leftists, not anarchists. Germany had a lot of that in the 15 years leading to their Nazi electoral victory (look up Rosa Luxemburg and her "intellectual" heirs).

This has tickled my curiosity, for example just how would anarchists lay a sewer line, then put a street over it?
Well if he's communist (the other posters are right on here), he uses either slave labor or your money. If he's really an anarchist, he pays a company to do it, does it himself, or does without.
Danish police fought fresh street battles on Saturday with youths who set fire to cars in protest at the eviction of squatters from a Copenhagen youth center. Demonstrators hurled Molotov cocktails and stones at police who fired tear gas in early morning clashes. At least 200 activists were detained in the clashes and subsequent police raids, bringing the total to some 600 in three days of violence.
Police, who used helicopters and water cannon to evict the squatters from the center on Thursday, raided houses on Saturday to find foreign activists who they said would be expelled. Media reports spoke of around 50 foreigners, including Germans.
Police were braced for fresh clashes on Saturday night and drafted reinforcements from other districts and borrowed police vans from Sweden, police spokesman Flemming Steen Munch said. A new demonstration was planned in the capital at 10 p.m., activists said. Media reports said protesters were urged via mass cellphone text messages to demonstrate. "The struggle will continue for a long time. As long as there is no Youth House in Copenhagen, there will be a fight to get one," said Jan, a spokesman for the youth center.
A peaceful demonstration was also held on Saturday ending in Copenhagen's multi-ethnic, working class Norrebro district, the focus of recent protests with the hippie enclave Christiania.
The conflict over the youth center has simmered since 2000 when local government sold the building to a religious group. Left-wing activists have used it as a base since 1982 but the current owners gained a 2006 court order to evict squatters.
The clashes early on Saturday flared after a street party with live music in Norrebro sparked violence after midnight in St Hans Square.

Unfackingbelievable, European youths ready to fight for their creed.
Army officials plan to revise the command structure at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, installing a nonmedical general officer as deputy commander to ensure that administrative operations run smoothly, in the wake of reports of serious problems with outpatient care at the facility, officials said yesterday.
A one-star general -- who has not yet been identified -- will work with Maj. Gen. Eric B. Schoomaker, a physician who was named on Friday to head Walter Reed, according to two defense officials. The new deputy will be a general who will bring a nonmedical eye to the operation to "make it run like it's supposed to run," said one Army official familiar with the decision.
Gen. Richard A. Cody, the Army's vice chief of staff, has also directed that an infantry officer -- one who recently served in Iraq -- assume the leadership of a new unit at Walter Reed called the "Wounded Warrior Transition Brigade," whose specific aim is to take care of outpatients.
The brigade will address problems such as those identified in a series of Washington Post reports about substandard conditions and bureaucratic tangles that affected the care of injured soldiers who had returned from Iraq and Afghanistan.
"The changes will allow commanders to provide direct organizational leadership without any other distraction," said Brig. Gen. Anthony A. Cucolo III, the Army's top spokesman.

Iff the news reports are correct, Walter Reed went from one of the Army's-DOD's oustanding facilities to one of SSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHH cover-up and politix. Some Netters are arguing that GOP-DEM PC are turning Amer warriors into frontline politicians of dubious credentials/

Mitt Romney won the most support for the Republican presidential nomination in a straw poll of GOP activists attending an annual conference. Despite his record of inconsistency on some social issues, the former Massachusetts governor got 21 percent of the 1,705 votes cast by paid registrants to the three-day Conservative Political Action Conference. They were asked who their first choice would be for the Republican nomination. Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor whose moderate stances on social issues irks the party's right wing, was second with 17 percent.

Republican presidential hopeful Rudolph Giuliani, virtually tied with John McCain in a January poll, held a 25-point lead over the Arizona senator in a Newsweek magazine survey released on Saturday. Among registered Republicans, 59 percent said they backed the former New York City mayor and 34 percent said they favored McCain, who announced on Wednesday he would seek the presidency in 2008, Newsweek said. "Most registered Republicans are not familiar with Giuliani's positions on key social issues," the magazine said, listing his support for abortion rights and gun control as examples. "When asked about whether Giuliani's views on these same issues would be enough to prevent them from supporting him, few registered Republican voters said it would," it said.
Giuliani was in a statistical dead heat with McCain in a January 24-25 poll, with 48 percent compared to McCain's 44 percent, the magazine said.
Meanwhile, a Newsweek poll of registered Democrats showed Democratic Sen. Barack Obama chipping away at front-runner Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's lead in the past month. Clinton enjoyed the support of 52 percent of registered Democrats in the latest poll to Obama's 38 percent. That compared with 55 percent for Clinton and 35 percent for the Illinois senator in late January, Newsweek said.

...according to one scientist's controversial theory
It's controversial because it's based upon data and not manipulated computer models. It fails to meet the modern 'scientific dictum' that if the model doesn't match the data, throw the data out.
#2
I am waiting for George W. Bush, Exxon, and the usual suspects to take the blame for global warming on Mars. Maybe it was our faulty intelligence that led to the deteriorating ice caps on Mars.
