Philippine presidential candidate Eddie Villanueva making deals with rebels? Vows to hand over Mindanao
Bro. Eddie Villanueva of the Bangon Pilipinas Party (BPP) headed the signing of a pact vowing to pursue a federal form of government in Mindanao, which was witnessed by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). This is said to be their permanent solution to the ongoing conflict in the region.
Quoted from the article:
"In the covenant, signed by Villanueva, all Bangon Pilipinas senatorial candidates as witnessed by Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) spokesperson Eid Kabalu, the party pledged to pursue the autonomy of the region “giving its right to self-determination within the framework of the Constitution.”"

MILF is a rebel group that has been trying to "conquer" Mindanao for quite some time now. Do you think that Villanueva's covenant is a good move? Is Mindanao getting handed over to the rebels? Speak your mind here: XroNet Forums

Baja California struck with 7.2 Earthquake
A 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit Baja California at 3:40pm Sunday. The earthquake was felt on the US-Mexico border, with shockwaves going as far as Arizona and Las Vegas.
This was the largest earthquake in the region for nearly 18 years, the last one was the Landers earthquake in 1992, which had a magnitude of 7.3.
Here's an amateur video of someone's swimming pool seconds after the earthquake. Should give you an idea of how strong it was.

April Fools' Day!
April Fools' Day or All Fools' Day is a holiday celebrated in various countries on April 1. The day is marked by the commission of hoaxes and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, family members, enemies, and neighbors, or sending them on a fool's errand, the aim of which is to embarrass the gullible.
There are several theories regarding the origin of April Fools' Day, and none of them are 100% definitive. However, one does stand above the rest: The Museum of Hoaxes explains that in 1564, King Charles IX of France passed a law that changed the beginning of the year from April 1 to January 1.
News of the change traveled slowly. Those who were either misinformed or slow to make the adjustments still celebrated the New Year on April 1. As a result, they were mocked and pranks were pulled.
Regardless of the origin, people show no signs of giving up the tradition. The number of Web searches for "april fools day prank ideas" are scary high. Everyone (and especially parents) should be on the lookout.

Can you take the heat?
The Bhut jolokia, also known as "Ghost Chili" is the spiciest or hottest chili pepper in the world! It contains 1,000,000 Scoville units (measurement for chili's spiciness). That's about 200 times spicier than the Jalapeno! (around 2,500 to 8,000 units) This chili is widely used in Indian cuisine. As we all know, this country is famous for their very spicy food. No sane man would probably eat a whole Bhut jolokia chili.
This very spicy chili pepper was recently used as a new military weapon in India. It is used as a tear gas hand grenade to disable the user's target(s). Can you imagine being tear gassed with these?! The best part in using this chili as a weapon is it's non-toxic. Although it's gonna sting.. a lot.
Cheaters Brain Stabbed!
A gamer playing in an internet cafe, was suspected of cheating in a game of Counter-Strike; lives to tell his story about being stabbed in the brain after angry players shish kabobed his head on a knife.
The doctors diagnosed that the knife just by a hair, missed the important arteries. Which failed to deprive the victim of his movement even though it went through certain parts of the brain that should have made him immobile.
The doctors were able to successfully remove the blade. An operation that lasted for 10 hours.
Guess this guy learned a lesson the brain numbing way. Cheating is not cool! But this was just way absurd. Stabbing a guy in the brain.. I guess counter-strike really does have a violent effect on people. But oh well.. That's one guy who'll never cheat again. Hopefully he can remember though. xD

Turritopsis nutricula
The Turritopsis nutricula is able to revert back to a juvenile form once it mates after becoming sexually mature.
Turritopsis Nutricula is technically known as a hydrozoan and is the only known animal that is capable of reverting completely to its younger self.
It does this through the cell development process of transdifferentiation.
Scientists believe the cycle can repeat indefinitely, rendering it potentially immortal.

Tennis: Hit for Haiti
Thousands of fans turned out last Friday night, March 12, to watch as some of tennis' biggest names "Hit for Haiti" in an exhibition game at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.
The event started off with The Palm Springs High School band and visual chorus, followed by the presentation of colors by Twentynine Palms Marines.
After a coin toss, Women's play began with Justine Henin, Steffi Graf, Martina Navratilova, and Lindsay Davenport.
Navratilova and Henin won 8-6 over Graf and Davenport.
In this unique exhibition game, all four women were wearing microphones, and seemed to have just as much fun playing as the crowd did watching them play.
Following the Women's play, four of the world’s most renowned tennis players hit the court next for the event: Roger Federer, Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi and Rafael Nadal.
The men were also wearing microphones during play, and Agassi took full advantage of his ability to speak directly to the 16,100 fans.
While Sampras and Federer took the match 8-6 to Agassi and Nadal, Agassi provided a lot of entertainment for the crowd with his fast-talking and game playing.
A fundraising goal of $1 million was set for the event, and at the end of both matches, Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle and the owner of the BNP, presented a $1 million check to the Red Cross Haiti Relief and Development Fund. To help meet the fundraising goal, three buses with a total of 150 volunteers from the Riverside and Orange County chapters of the American Red Cross were bused in. They were walking around accepting donations throughout the match.

Idol Judge Turns on the Waterworks
Even the sometimes harsh panel of judges in American Idol have a soft side.
A performance by Michael Lynche moved the American Idol judge, Kara Dioguardi to tears.
Kara seems to link her advice mainly on how the contestants relate and connect to the song they choose. Apparently, the song that Michael Lynche picked, A woman's work, is related to how his life is right now. His wife just had their first baby while he was still in the audition stages. And now in the top 8, he makes his wife proud. As Ellen Degeneres says, he is the one to beat. Randy Jackson thought it was, again, HOT. Simon Cowell almost had nothing to say, he was afterall, next to Kara, hugging her. Just watch it here and listen to what Simon says. xD

Mercedes-Benz unveils car of the future: The F800
The F800.
The Mercedes-Benz F800 Style concept car that'll debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month is highly-touted by Mercedes-benz's press release scribes for its green-car tech, but what's probably of greater interest to most of you is its styling.
F800's Interior
Mercedes-Benz also touts the concept's flexible powertrain platform. The realistic option is a plug-in hybrid system that's basically an offshoot of the V6 light-hybrid setup found in the S400 sedan. Mercedes says this new plug-in gas-electric system, which is good for over 400 combined horsepower, gives the car an EV-only driving range of 18 miles.
The F800 concept also introduces two new technologies that will doubtless appear in upcoming models. Distronic Plus Traffic Jam Assistant is an enhanced version of Mercedes' active cruise control system, which can now steer the car through curves as long as it's traveling under 25 mph. Neat. Also new is the Pre-Safe 360-degree system, which expands the existing Pre-Safe collision detection/mitigation system to the rear of the car. Now, if Pre-Safe senses that a rear-end impact is imminent, it'll apply the brakes in a bid to keep the car from getting into an additional chain-reaction accident involving other cars or pedestrians.
Here's a video for more details.

Man dies when 911 fails to respond to his calls
PITTSBURGH - On the snowy morning of February 6, a man named Curtis Mitchell needed to go to the hospital badly because of severe abdominal pain. His partner, Sharon Edge, called 911 to ask for help. They assured her that someone was on their way.
Mitchell died 30 hours after. No help arrived, despite them making 10 calls to 911, four calls from 911, and about a dozen calls from 911 to the paramedics.
What happened? Here's a list of shortcomings as reviewed by the city's officials:
• Details of Mitchell's calls weren't passed on from one 911 operator to another as shifts changed, so each call was treated as a new incident.
Mitchell died 30 hours after. No help arrived, despite them making 10 calls to 911, four calls from 911, and about a dozen calls from 911 to the paramedics.
What happened? Here's a list of shortcomings as reviewed by the city's officials:
• Details of Mitchell's calls weren't passed on from one 911 operator to another as shifts changed, so each call was treated as a new incident.
• Twice, ambulances were as close as a quarter-mile from Mitchell's home but drivers said deep snow prevented the vehicles from crossing a small bridge over railroad tracks to reach him. Mitchell was told each time he'd have to walk through the snow to the ambulances; in neither case did paramedics walk to get him.
• Once, an ambulance made it across the bridge and was at the opposite end of the block on the narrow street where the couple lived — a little more than a football field's length. Again, paramedics didn't try to walk.
"We failed this person," said Michael Huss, the city's public safety director.
You have to take note that this incident happened right after a storm put the city about two feet under snow, 911 was swamped by calls during this time.
Want a more complete picture? Here's an account from Yahoo on what happened:
Records indicate the first call was made about 2 a.m. on Feb 6. Sometime Friday night, the storm knocked out their power and the couple sought warmth under blankets as the house got colder.
Edge said Mitchell had begun to feel stomach pains during the week, but he tried to deal with it. By Friday morning, he woke up in pain. Still, he tried to manage with medication, she said.
A review of the 911 calls by the Associated Press shows no anger in Mitchell's or Edge's voices. There was no screaming. Conversations with operators were cordial and the couple seemed to understand the difficulties the snow posed.
Still, Mitchell and Edge let them know he was in pain.
"My stomach man, it's real messed up. It's killing me," he tells a 911 operator about 11:15 a.m. on Feb. 6.
About 8 p.m. that night — in the eighth call to 911 — Edge tells an operator: "My boyfriend called for an ambulance. He's in a lot of pain and we've been waiting for a couple hours now."
At one point, Mitchell can be heard exclaiming "Oh man, what?" when Edge relayed to him that they would have to walk to the ambulance because of the snow. It was not clear when that conversation took place.
In all, three ambulances were dispatched at separate times. In each case, Mitchell was told he'd have to walk to them — and he canceled the calls.
As the hours went by, Mitchell's pain intensified and he began to have shortness of breath. Because he complained of abdominal pain, which is generally not considered life-threatening, he was initially ranked as a medium priority. About 11:20 a.m. Saturday, his priority level was upgraded, but not as an emergency.
Mitchell tried to sleep. He took his prescriptions — oxycodone for pain and sleeping pills for his insomnia. Edge gave him the medication and closely followed the dosage, she said.
"All that time, he was dying and I didn't even know it," Edge said.
Shortly before 8 a.m. on Feb. 7, Edge made her last 911 call.
"I think my husband's dead. Oh God, oh God," she sobbed.
The 911 operator told Edge to calm down and asked for the address and phone number.
"I've been trying to get an ambulance here for three days. He's been having stomach pains," Edge said.
The operator talked Edge through a check to see if Mitchell was breathing. Try to get him onto the floor on his back, the operator said.
But Mitchell's body was cold. Edge couldn't wake him.
"Oh God, he can't leave me ... Curtis? Curtis?" Edge said, struggling to move him.
The operator assured Edge that paramedics were on the way.
"He's dead," Edge said.
"No, no, no. You're going to stay with me," the operator said, continuing the checks on Mitchell.
Finally, someone came to the door.
"Who is it?" asked Edge. "Is it the medics?"
"Yes."
"All right," said the operator. "You did a good job. I'm going to hang up now. Let them in. Good bye."
The snow had long since stopped falling. It took firefighters two minutes from being dispatched to reach the couple's home.
They checked for a pulse, but it was too late.
"They said he was gone," Edge said.
It would be five more hours before workers from the medical examiner's office came for Mitchell's body.
A police officer waited with her. Edge sat on the sofa with the body.

Why are there ridges on the F and J keys on the keyboard?
Look at the 'F' and 'J' keys on your keyboard. Ever wondered why they have ridges?
Here's a little trivia: The ridges on the F and J keys are there to determine the position of the fingers on the keyboard. This is usually used by "touch typists" or people who type without looking at the keyboard. Touch typists put their index fingers on the F (left) and J (right) keys before they type so they know where their fingers are at. If your keyboard has a NumPad or numeric pad, you'll notice that the 5 key also has this ridge.

A Winter Sport: Curling
The name alone sounds different. It even sounds like a ballet move of some sort. But it's been around for ages and, literally, the game is sweeping the globe. :D
As I was surfing the tube, I landed on the channel that was covering the Vancouver Winter Olympics. And saw this odd type of sport. At first I wasn't really sure what it was. People were just sliding across the ice with what seemed to be marble rocks with handles, and as the rocks were gracefully sliding, 2 people were sweeping in front of it. Making the ice smoother or maybe melting it a bit so there'd be less friction and the rock would slide further.
I was intrigued as to how this sport worked. So I decided to tune in and see what happens.
My first impression was, "Hey, this isn't really fun at all! Why would anyone wanna slide and hit rocks and SWEEP on ice?!"
But as I observed, slowly and I mean slowly, because mainly the rock thingy takes a while to get where they are supposed to be going and there are 2 teams competing. I noticed the degree of skill involved in the game. The accuracy and finesse it needs to hit the other team's curling rock.
Now it's not really that ahtletic, and others argue that it's not really a sport. It's in the olympics anyway so I dunno. There are lots of games that revovles on accuracy to win. Archery, Golf, Darts to name a few.
The game can really catch your attention. Mainly because of how unusual it is. But as you progress in watching it, you appreciate the level of skill involved.
Watch this to learn a bit more on curling.
Intrigued? Let's talk about it here.

Game Review: Star Wars The Force Unleashed
A long time ago in a galaxy, far, far away...
*fanfare*
TA TA TA TA!!! TA!!! TAA TAA TAAA TAAA!!!
It starts out with the view from outer space. Ships of the empire looming over the outer atmosphere. A ship lands in the planet of Kashyyyk. Out comes a black figure, cloaked, and enveloped in the aura of darkness. Lord Vader.
You'll know it's Star Wars when you hear that trademark fanfare of theirs that strikes excitement in millions of fans all over. All you Star Wars fans out there, get ready to feel the Force Unleashed!
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is one of the greatest Star Wars games ever made! The game has awesome physics. It has a variety of moves you can chain up that results in a devastating combo with killer effects. The physics not only involves the movement of the characters, but also the environment. The way the character manipulate the objects around (using the force of course :D) and how they correspond with the controls, totally kicks arse!
The graphics are crazy smooth. The details on the characters, the environment, the action sequence are mind blowing! The effects alone on each swing of the lightsaber makes you feel the intensity of the game.
Though the pros have it going on. There are, of course, cons to it.
For some players, they might find the targeting system, not so flexible. It's pretty much like, once locked on, kill it kinda thing. You can switch though but with all of the action going on, I'd rather just lightsaber throw the target or use the choke hold and mop the poor victim all over the place.
Second is the frame rate issue. At some parts of the game, the frame rate drastically goes down, reducing the gaming quality. Even on a high end computer. Not all maybe, but still it really is a bother. Just when you're throwing enemies all over the place and applying those learned combos on them troopers, the frame rate goes down and everything goes into slow motion.. With a lag effect.
Also with this kind of game, it's heavy in terms of memory if you're playing on a PC. The graphics really speak for itself, the gameplay is kick arse. But, personally, the game seems too short. Hard core gamers might finish this game in less than 10 hours. The action makes you bite in the game, may make you lose track of time, and before you know it. You finished it.
Nevertheless.. The game is awesome!
Force throw those cons in the void of space and enjoy the experience of Star Wars the Force Unleashed!
Setting/Story: 8/10
You can't argue with it. The story is great. Assuming you read all of the books. You'd probably know everything about it. But for those who haven't. This should be a fresh one.
System: 8/10
The typical 3rd person action game. Some might have problems with the camera angles with a third person view, particularly when manipulating the movements of the characters. But with the kind of action going on. Can't really comment on the view.
Gameplay: 8/10
The gameplay is impressive. As mentioned above, the physics are totally bad arse. I don't think the level of physics in this game has been in any other Star Wars game.
Graphics: 10/10
Dynamite graphics. Details are maxed all over. It's not like we have a choice really. Gamers can't really opt to lower the details of the graphics because, we simply can't. It's not in the options. So if any of you out there want to play this game on a PC platform. Make sure you meet the system requirements!
Replay Value: 6/10
At first, gamers might find this game to be easy. The enemies are too slow, they don't do enough damage, the boss combos are getting old..
*SPOILER*
After you finish the game, twice. Yes you can finish it twice. You get to choose how it ends. Difficulties will open up. The higher the difficulty, enemies have more damage, they don't really move any faster but they last longer, and the boss fights get more interesting. They have new moves which is surely enough to intrigue players. It gets repetitive over time. But it's still fun!
Overall Rating: 40/50
For Star Wars fans out there. This is a must play game! Combine cool moves, throw stuff around with the force, and give enemies a shock with the force lightning! You'll stick your face at the screen all day with this game. Might sound bad.. But sometimes bad is fun! I mean, look at Lord Vader! He's one fun guy! Seriously!

China Breaks Russia's 46-year Winning Streak
Since 1964, Russia has been winning the gold for pair figure skating, giving them a total of 12 gold medals. But not this time.
China's Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo managed to swipe the gold away from the reigning champions with a score of 216.57. After a not-so-impressive performance, the Russian team of Yuko Kavaguti and Alexander Smirnov ended up in fourth place, which means that not only their time at the top is over, but their medal run in general.
Another Chinese couple, Pang Qing and Tong Jian, took the silver with 213.31 points. Two-time world champions Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy from Germany took the bronze, with 210.60 points.

Vancouver Winter Olympics 2010
Jesse Owens (Athlete of the 1936 Summer Olympics)Olympics -- A lifetime of training for just ten seconds.
For athletes, hard work, training, hours of dedication just to get that desired result... It's a never ending chase of perfection.
The Vancouver Winter Olympics opened on Friday night. A grand opening that really captured the soul of Canada.
The events are extensive. A series of Skiing, Skating, Snowboarding, Ice Hokey and the lot. Every sporting event on a winter setting.
But one significant event ended up in tragedy. A Georgian luger by the name of Nodar Kumaritashvili, died in a horrible luge crash. The accident happened on Friday morning during a practice run. Officials have reported that the athlete lost control of his sled, went over the wall of the track and hit a steel pole.
The athlete has competed in five World Cup races finishing 44th in the world standings.
