Jacko in Trouble Again


Michael Jackson may be in trouble again. Tabloids are reporting that Santa Barbara County investigators believe that the pop singer is trafficking prescription drugs from the US to his new home in Bahrain. Allegedly, traces of cocaine have been found on Jackson's underwear. Reports have come in that Jackson has a 40-pill per day habit of drugs like Xanax, Vicodin, and Oxycontin and were allegedly obtained with fake prescriptions.

Jackson currently lives in Bahrain, an island in the Persian Gulf off the eastern coast of Saudi Arabia. Bahrain does not have an extradition treaty with the US, so if Jacko is charged, there is no legal requirement for the Bahrain government officials to turn him over. Hmmm.... Maybe that is why Jacko moved to Bahrain.

George Michael to Wed


George Michael plans to wed long-term partner Kenny Goss soon after a law that gives new legal rights to same-sex couples comes into force on December 21. The former Wham! singer, 41, said he and his lover of almost a decade hope to hold a civil partnership ceremony in Britain next year.

TOP TEN most controversial news stories FOR 2005 ACCORDING TO ME!!!

10 Sony Anti-Piracy Software



Sony BMG's woes in the US over its much-criticized anti-piracy CD software have deepened. It is facing two separate lawsuits in Texas and California. The so-called XCP (Extended Copy Protection) software is installed on around 50 of Sony's CDs and up to two million copies have been sold in the US. It is intended to restrict copying of CDs but security experts have criticized it for using virus-like techniques. The Texan lawsuit accuses Sony of installing spyware and is seeking damages of up to $100,000 in damages for each violation. In California, digital rights group, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), is suing Sony for allegedly collecting personal data.

9 Bird Flu



Avian influenza is an infection caused by avian (bird) influenza (flu) viruses. These influenza viruses occur naturally among birds. Wild birds worldwide carry the viruses in their intestines, but usually do not get sick from them. However, avian influenza is very contagious among birds and can make some domesticated birds, including chickens, ducks, and turkeys, very sick and kill them.

Infected birds shed influenza virus in their saliva, nasal secretions, and feces.

During an outbreak of avian influenza among poultry, there is a possible risk to people who have contact with infected birds or surfaces that have been contaminated with secretions or excretions from infected birds. Symptoms of avian influenza in humans have ranged from typical human influenza-like symptoms (e.g., fever, cough, sore throat, and muscle aches) to eye infections, pneumonia, severe respiratory diseases (such as acute respiratory distress), and other severe and life-threatening complications. The symptoms of avian influenza may depend on which virus caused the infection. There currently is no commercially available vaccine to protect humans. So far this year, 67 humans have died as a result of this disease. Thousands of birds across the world have been eradicated to protect humans from contracting the disease.

The US has banned importation of chicken from Canada and many other affected regions. Earlier this month, President Bush announced a plan to prepare the U.S. for a flu pandemic. The plan emphasizes researching better ways of making vaccines, as well as stockpiling vaccines and antiviral medications.

8 Gay Marriage



In 2002 Massachusetts courts gave the go ahead for gay marriage in the state. Since then a heavy opposition has been rising. Backers of a proposed constitutional amendment that would outlaw gay marriage claim to have enough signatures to put the question to voters. There are constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriages now in 19 states and votes expected within the next year or two in several more. President Bush has come out strongly against gay marriage. He supports a Constitutional "definition" for marriage that would make it impossible for state and federal court judges to interpret the Constitution in a way that would allow gays to marry.

7 Gas Prices



Everyone knows gas prices soar to well above $3 per gallon this year. And everyone heard the reasons: hurricanes, supply and demand. But with oil companies posting record profits, it makes things seem a little unfair. Congress has recently promised to probe the record books of oil companies. Many people have been screaming "price gouging". States all across the country have set up price gouging hotlines so consumers can report stations with unreasonably high prices.

6 Michael Jackson Molestation Trial



Ten years after child sex-abuse allegations first surfaced against Michael Jackson, the "King of Pop" stands trial in California in a separate molestation case and is acquitted on all counts.

5 Meth Epidemic



The crystalline white drug quickly seduces those who snort, smoke or inject it with a euphoric rush of confidence, hyperalertness and sexiness that lasts for hours on end. Once derided as "poor man's cocaine," popular mainly in rural areas and on the West Coast, meth has seeped into the mainstream in its steady march across the United States. Relatively cheap compared with other hard drugs, the highly addictive stimulant is hooking more and more people across the country. More than 12 million Americans have tried methamphetamine, and 1.5 million are regular users, according to federal estimates. Meth-making operations have been uncovered in all 50 states. Cops nationwide rank methamphetamine the No. 1 drug they battle today. One measure of the drug's reach: Target, Wal-Mart, Rite-Aid and other retailers have moved nonprescription cold pills behind the pharmacy counter, where meth cooks have a harder time getting at them. The active ingredient in those pills is pseudoephedrine, a chemical derivative of amphetamine. The "pseudo" is extracted from the cold pills, and cooked with other chemicals like iodine and anhydrous ammonia—using recipes readily available on the Internet—over high heat. The resulting compound, when ingested, releases bursts of dopamine in the brain, producing a strong euphoric effect.

4 Terry Schiavo



Terri Schiavo, the 41-year-old brain-damaged woman who became the centerpiece of a national right-to-die battle, died nearly two weeks after doctors removed the feeding tube that had sustained her for more than a decade. The Schindlers lost what their lawyer described as their "last meaningful legal appeal" in their desperate battle to have their brain-damaged daughter's feeding tube reinserted. The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear an emergency appeal from the Schindlers. Michael Schiavo, Terri's husband, was her legal guardian and wanted the tube removed.

3 Natalee Hollowell



Natalee Holloway, 18, disappeared in Aruba on May 30, 2005, during her vacation. Joran van der Sloot, 17, was last seen with Holloway.

Many politicians including the Governor of Alabama have asked Americans to boycott Aruba as a tourist destination.

2 Hurricane Katrina



Hurricane Katrina was the eleventh named tropical storm, fourth hurricane, third major hurricane, and first Category 5 hurricane of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. It was the third most powerful storm of the season, behind Hurricane Wilma and Hurricane Rita, and the sixth-strongest storm ever recorded in the Atlantic basin. The official death toll now stands at 1,322 and the damage from $70 to $130 billion, topping Hurricane Andrew as the most expensive natural disaster in U.S. history. Over a million people were displaced creating a humanitarian crisis on a scale unseen in the U.S. since the Great Depression.

There were widespread reports of murders, rapes, beatings, robberies, and general mayhem in the Superdome, the center were the refugees evacuated to. These reports are unfounded and are viewed by some as merely urban legend.

Now there are health concerns from the mold that has developed throughout New Orleans. Also the hurricane has left Louisiana in a state of financial ruin as officials struggle to pay for all the damage left behind. President Bush has also been widely criticized for his administration's handling of the disaster response.

1 Iraq



This year we saw the US troop death toll rise to 2,000. The Iraqis held elections and formed a Constitution. Bush's approval rating stands at a reported 28 percent, the lowest rating for a president in a decade. Many American's are angry with the Iraq war. Some are calling for immediate withdrawal. Cindy Sheehan, mother of a killed US soldier, has been protesting strongly against the war. She stood outside the President's ranch in Crawford, Tex. and then made her way to D.C.. Republicans and Democrats alike have demanded the President to explain the war. Recently, Iraqi leaders have expressed a desire for withdrawal of US presence as well.

There is a current plan for a significant reduction in US troops in 2007, but many Americans want it earlier.

Since the war, free elections have been held. Women are allowed to persue an education. The ethnic cleansing of tribes has been stopped. No weapons of mass destruction have ever been found. Terrorist activity and recruiting have not decreased. Many soldiers have seen their tour of duty extended as many as three times.

Photocopier Repairs Increase During Holiday Season



Photocopier supplier Canon is warning customers to take better care of their office equipment during the Christmas period, claiming that the festive season traditionally leads to a 25 percent hike in service calls due to incidents such as the classic backside copying prank. Such a stunt often results in cracked glass on the copier, with 32 percent of Canon technicians claiming to have been called out to fix glass plates during the Christmas period after attempts to copy body parts went wrong.

Canon claims a shocking 46 percent of service calls are in response to non-work-related breakages.

US to End "Catch and Release"



The US is trying to close a legal loophole which has allowed tens of thousands of illegal immigrants to slip into the country and to remain unchecked. Under long-standing procedure along the U.S. border with Mexico, illegal crossers of nationalities other than Mexican (OTMs) have been entitled to a hearing before an immigration judge before they could be deported. Because of a severe shortage of space to hold them until the hearing, they were released after being fingerprinted and given a "notice to appear," a document stating they had agreed to show up at court at a certain date.

The notice serves as a travel document allowing its holder past Border Patrol checkpoints on the roads leading from the border to the interior. Most OTMs do not show up for their hearing and meld into the population.

Train Crashes Into Traffic

Thor's Helmet


NGC 2359 is striking emmission nebula with an impressive popular name - Thor's Helmet. Sure, its suggestive winged appearance might lead some to refer to it as the "duck nebula", but if you were a nebula which name would you choose? By any name it is a bubble-like nebula some 30 light-years across, blown by energetic winds from an extremely hot star seen near the center and classified as a Wolf-Rayet star. These stars are rare massive blue giants which develop stellar winds with speeds of millions of kilometers per hour. Interactions with a nearby large molecular cloud are thought to have contributed to this nebula's more complex shape and curved bow-shock structures. NGC 2359 is about 15,000 light-years away toward the constellation Canis Major.

If passed, this bill would have been the first education funding cut in 10 years. The cuts would have included cuts to Federal Pell Grants.

People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive Is Not On My List



Every year People magazine publishes a an issue with their sexiest man alive on the cover. 2005's was Matthew McConaughey! Matt did not make my list of the 10 sexiest men for 2005 and perhaps this was an oversight. There has been outrage from many of my readers denouncing 50 Cent. They don't want him on my list! Well, I guess the question remains, "Is Matt McConaughey sexier than 50 Cent?" I think not. 50 has that thug appeal and he is younger. 50 has a better body and I bet Matt can't say that he has been shot nine times! There nothing sexier than a bullet ridden back!!

Penn Voters Boot "Intelligent Design" School Board

Dover, Penn voters decided eight of the nine school board officials up for reelection would not serve another term on Tuesday. Democrats fought against the eight because in 2004 these members enacted a policy that required ninth grade biology teachers to read a statement about "Intelligent Design" to students before teaching evolution. Eight families sued the school board on grounds that it was a violation to the Constitution's guarantee of separation of church and state.

Intelligent design holds that the universe is so complex that it must have been created by some kind of higher force. The statement read to students says Charles Darwin's theory is "not a fact" and has inexplicable "gaps."

The Fieger and Cox rumble has been going on for some time now, ever since Cox began an investigation of Fieger. Since March, Cox's office has been investigating a $450,000 television ad campaign that urged viewers to "vote no" against Justice Stephen Markman in last year's Supreme Court race. Markman easily won re-election. But it was not until June -- seven months after the election -- that Fieger, a multimillionaire, filed papers in Oakland County acknowledging he paid for the anti-Markman ads.

US Military Developing New Non Lethal Weaponry


The US government has unveiled a new non-lethal laser rifle designed to dazzle the enemy without causing permanent harm. The Personnel Halting and Stimulation Response (PHSR) rifle delivers a low level laser beam to blind the eyes of anyone that it is fired at. In the past the problem with laser rifles of this type has been that they often caused permanent damage. The new weapon uses a lower level laser and initial tests have shown that those the weapon has been fired at were not left permanently blind.

UPDATE - Man Claimed Before To Be Glued to Toilet Seat

The man suing Home Depot over a toilet seat allegedly covered with glue is being identified as the same man who mad a similar allegation more than a year ago. The 57 year old man is suing for $3 million dollars. His lawyer denies the man ever made the previous allegation.

Sounds to me like the man set up Home Depot and put the glue on the seat himself. I just hope that he doesn't get any money. Frivolous law suits lead to higher consumer prices as well as increased costs for insurance for all of us.
