Britney Spears checks into rehab

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -        Britney Spears has entered a rehabilitation center, her spokesman said on Tuesday, after the troubled pop star’s recent wild ways escalated this weekend to a bizarre incident in which she shaved her own head.
“Britney Spears has voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed rehab facility today,” publicist Larry Rudolph said in a statement. “We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those (privacy concerns) of her family and friends at this time.” Rudolph did not elaborate on the treatment Spears was seeking or where the facility was located — though People magazine and TMZ.com both reported that it was in Los Angeles and that the 25-year-old singer checked in at the urging of family members. Since her split with husband Kevin Federline in November after two years of marriage, Spears has raised eyebrows with heavy partying, sometimes with celebrity heiress        Paris Hilton, and a series of pictures that caught the Grammy-winning entertainer wearing no panties under her short skirts. This January, Spears posted an impassioned letter to her fans on her official Web site (www.britneyspears.com) in which she acknowledged that her image had taken a beating and pledged to come back “bigger and better than ever.” But on Friday reports swirled that Spears, a former child star who exploded onto the pop scene as a teenager and has since sold 70 million albums, had entered rehab on the Caribbean island of Antigua, only to drop out 24 hours later. Later that evening she was spotted at a hair salon in Los Angeles, shaving her own head in pictures that made headlines around the world. She followed that up with a trip to a tattoo parlor and on Sunday night she was photographed heading into a West Hollywood night club wearing an ill-fitting blonde wig. Her Web site has been taken down and replaced with a message saying that a new one was in the works. After she filed for divorce, Federline quickly sought custody of the couple’s two young sons Sean Preston and James Jayden, claiming that he needed to “safeguard” them. Child welfare authorities visited Spears twice in 2006 after she was photographed driving a car with her infant son on her lap, and after Sean Preston fell from a high chair and hit his head. No charges were brought. Since early in her career, Spears has generated as much attention for her personal life as for her music, including a highly publicized romance and break-up with singer Justin Timberlake. Spears famously pledged in 1999 to keep her virginity intact until her wedding day but gradually shed that image as she grew in popularity, assuming a more overtly sexual persona known for provocative costumes and stage performances. source REUTERS . http://blogs.mindbodynsoul.com http://www.mindbodynsoul.com     Tags:

Networks and film makers accuse Google of encouraging pirates

Monday, February 19th, 2007
• Claims that search engine advised illicit websites
• Row follows fears about You Tube’s content Andrew Clark in New York
The Guardian America’s biggest media companies have accused Google of knowingly encouraging copyright theft by suggesting to illegal movie download sites that they place adverts to appear in response to search terms such as “pirated” and “bootleg”.
 
Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation, Viacom, Walt Disney and Time Warner are among a group of leading television and film producers that has complained about a lack of controls at Google.
Their anger centers on a case going through the courts in New York state surrounding five defunct movie download websites with names such as TheDownloadPlace.com, MoviesAdvance.com and EasyDownloadCenter.com. Run until last year by two 26-year olds in Missouri, the sites allowed users to download Hollywood hits such The Incredibles, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Meet the Fockers and Mr. & Mrs. Smith in their entirety.
 
Legal documents allege that Google accepted adverts and endorsed “sponsored links” from the websites’ operators, Brandon Drury and Luke Sample. The company even offered credit on payments from the duo. Google is accused of suggesting to the pair that their adverts appear when people enter various movie titles on its search page - or when terms are entered such as “bootleg movie download”, “pirated” and “download Harry potter movie”.
 
The row is a sign of deteriorating relations between media companies and Google. For months television companies and film studios have been struggling to agree deals to control the way their content is used on You Tube - the video-sharing site acquired by Google last year.
Google’s main source of income is a fee paid by advertisers whenever anyone clicks on a sponsored link. The company routinely helps clients choose suitable search terms to prompt their links.
The firm, which trades under the slogan “don’t be evil”, assured the media companies on Friday that it would tighten its systems to prevent a recurrence of sponsored links to bootlegging sites.
A Google spokesman said: “We prohibit advertisers from using our advertising program to promote the sale of copyright-infringing materials. Hundreds of thousands of advertisers responsibly abide by our ad content policies and we’re committed to preventing those who don’t from using our program.”
The broader question of controlling content on Google’s network of websites remains contentious. You Tube users routinely upload clips from popular shows.
 
News Corp’s Fox network last month got tough with You Tube by filing a subpoena demanding the name of a subscriber who posted entire episodes of the television series 24 and The Simpsons on the site. You Tube has since complied.
 
The media firms would prefer to use You Tube as a shop window offering a controlled selection of tasters from their movies and television shows.
In a step towards such control, News Corp’s MySpace social networking site yesterday announced plans to block unauthorized music and videos using technology from a company called Audible Magic. The software allows MySpace to compare uploads with a database of copyrighted material and to block content that shows a match.
 
In a pilot, MySpace intends to use the technology to filter out any clips by Universal Music’s roster of artists - which includes the Black Eyed Peas, Miss Dynamite and Snow Patrol.
Steve Weinstein, an analyst at Pacific Crest Securities, said neither the media firms nor Google wanted to get into the kind of bitter copyright face-off that led to the downfall of the once ubiquitous music sharing site Napster. But he said a solution to the problem was elusive: “The studios don’t know and Google doesn’t know how best to make this work yet.” Back story Downloading films has never been easier, thanks to the sheer number of services available. The most prominent is BitTorrent. Users download software and find a “tracker” site which tells them where the movies they are looking for are stored. Despite some high-profile closures, web services continue to act with impunity. One of the most famous is The Pirate Bay, run by a Swedish group that believes copyright is wrong. After police raids, it announced that it was raising funds to buy its own island.

UN appoints Sharapova as Goodwill Ambassador

Thursday, February 15th, 2007
  United Nations, Feb 15 (PTI) Top-ranked Russian tennis player Maria Sharapova has been named a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Development Programme. Her work for the UN poverty-fighting agency will have a special focus on helping the areas affected by 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster. “One of my proudest contracts ever,” Sharapova said after signing on for a symbolic one dollar salary at a brief ceremony at the UN Headquarters here yesterday. Sharapova announced that she and her newly created private foundation would donate 100,000 dollars to eight UNDP projects in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine that try to assist those areas still reeling under the impact of the Chernobyl accident. The projects aim to restore hospitals and sports facilities, improve access to computers, and promote ecological awareness across the three countries. “I was just briefed on Chernobyl effects and how I will be involved with it, and I’m just so excited to be a part of this process. I can’t wait. I can’t wait to help with everything I can,” she told reporters. The 19-year-old, winner of two Grand Slam titles and currently ranked number one in the world, has a personal connection to Chernobyl.

Sunita Williams out for another back-to-back spacewalks

Thursday, February 8th, 2007
Seema Hakhu Kachru Houston, Feb 8 (PTI) Indian American flight engineer Sunita Williams and International Space Station Commander Michael Lopez-Alegria are venturing out once again for their third spacewalk in nine days. “Beautiful day, I’m ready,” Sunita said. The three spacewalks, termed EVAs 6, 7, and 8 because there were five previous station spacewalks from the US airlock Quest during increments, began at 0726 CST (1856 IST) today when no shuttle was present. NASA spacewalkers on mission are packing tools aboard an equipment cart outside the International Space Station (ISS) as they prepare to head to their first worksite: a pair of rotary joint motor controllers outside the ISS. The astronauts will haul the cart, known as a Crew Equipment Translational Aid (CETA), along the space station’s main backbone-like truss to the Port 3 (P3) segment to remove a pair of thermal covers from the two pieces of ISS hardware. The Expedition 14 spacewalkers today tasks include removing protective thermal shrouds from a pair of Rotary Joint Motor Controllers on the space station’s Port 3 (P3) truss. They’ll then haul in a pair of unneeded, expansive sun shades (each larger than a king-size bed sheet) and wrap them up into bundles smaller than an outdoor garbage can before tossing them overboard. They are also slated to deploy attachment devices for a future spare parts platform on the P3 truss before heading up to the station’s space shuttle docking port on the Pressurised Mating Adapter-2 at the tip of US Destinay laboratory.

WWII vet, 84, claims $254M lottery prize

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007
CHESTERFIELD, Mo. - A World War II veteran and his family stepped forward Monday to claim a Powerball jackpot worth more than a quarter-billion dollars, one of the largest single-ticket lottery prizes in U.S. history. ADVERTISEMENT
 
Jim Wilson II, 84, and his wife, Shirley, 79, claimed the winning prize from last Wednesday’s drawing, along with their three sons. “I was absolutely astonished,” said Jim Wilson, a retired electrician who served in the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division in Africa and Europe, at an afternoon news conference. “I couldn’t believe it, and still don’t.” He bought the winning ticket — with the numbers 9-19-29-42-53 and a Powerball number of 17 — at a grocery store in St. Louis County. The store will get $50,000. When the Wilsons learned they had won, they got professional financial advice before claiming the prize. Jim Wilson II has the option of receiving $254 million in 30 payments over 29 years, or accepting a lump-sum payment worth $120 million before taxes. The couple said they will share the money with their sons. The St. Louis family has been buying family Powerball tickets for years with the understanding that they’d share any winnings, the Missouri Lottery said. Two sons — Bill, 54, and Jim III, 59 — lost their jobs in the past year, though Bill Wilson has found a new one. Another son, Terry, 53, said he hasn’t had a vacation in 30 years and will probably go to Australia. The couple also said they will set aside money for their grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The Wilsons’ prize is the 10th-largest single-ticket lottery prize in world history, with all 10 coming from the United States, Missouri Lottery officials said. The largest was a $365 million prize won by eight Nebraska meatpacking plant workers in February 2006

World’s smallest country with sea view - FOR SALE

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007
LONDON, Jan 8 (Reuters Life!) - For sale: the world’s smallest country with its own flag, stamps, currency and passports. Apply to Prince Michael of Sealand if you want to run your own nation, even if it is just a wartime fort perched on two concrete towers in the North Sea. Built in World War Two as an anti-aircraft base to repel German bombers, the derelict platform was taken over 40 years ago by retired army major Paddy Roy Bates who went to live there with his family. He declared the platform, perched seven miles off the east coast of England and just outside Britain’s territorial waters, to be the principality of Sealand. The self-styled Prince Roy adopted a flag, chose a national anthem and minted silver and gold coins. The family saw off an attempt by Britain’s Royal Navy to evict them and also an attempt in 1978 by a group of German and Dutch businessmen to seize Sealand by force. Roy, 85, now lives in Spain and his son Michael told BBC Radio on Monday his family had been approached by estate agents with clients “who wanted a bit more than a bit of real estate, they wanted autonomy.” He suggested Sealand, which has eight rooms in each tower, could be a base for online gambling or offshore banking. Asked to describe the delights of living on what he described as a cross between a house and a ship, the 54-year-old said: “The neighbors are very quiet. There is a good sea view.” Apply to Prince Michael of Sealand if you want to run your own nation, even if it is just a wartime fort perched on two concrete towers in the North Sea.
