Michael Jackson's Autopsy Results
Cnn
The autopsy on the body of pop star Michael Jackson has been completed, but the coroner has ordered further tests and the cause of death has not been determined, a spokesman said.
Craig Harvey from the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office also said the autopsy showed no sign of external trauma or indication of foul play.
The cause of death has been deferred, which means the medical examiner has ordered additional testing such as toxicology and other studies, Craig Harvey, operations chief for the coroner, told a throng of reporters.He said that once those tests are completed in four to six weeks, "We anticipate being able to close the case and issuing a final cause of death."

Silvio Berlusconi: I have never paid a woman for sex

From guardian.co.uk
Silvio Berlusconi has denied allegations he paid women for sex, as he continued to be dogged by allegations he has a fondness for young models and starlets.
"I have never paid a woman," Berlusconi told Chi magazine – which he owns – in an interview published today. "I never understood what the satisfaction is when you are missing the pleasure of conquest."
Previously, he had simply dismissed as "garbage" and a smear campaign reports that an acquaintance had paid at least three women to attend parties at his residences.
The allegations centre on an Italian model, Patrizia D'Addario, who claimed last week she had been paid more than €1,000 to attend a party at his residence in Rome along with other women. D'Addario alleged she eventually spent the night with the prime minister.
Berlusconi told the magazine that D'Addario was "very well paid" to make the allegations, which have prompted an investigation in the southern city of Bari into the local businessman accused of recruiting and paying the women.
In a statement to the Ansa news agency, D'Addario denied she had been paid to mount a scandal.
Berlusconi has been on the defensive since his wife, Veronica Lario, announced several weeks ago she was divorcing him, citing his selection of young starlets and showgirls for European parliament elections, and his presence at the birthday party of an 18-year-old model in Naples.
Berlusconi has insisted there was nothing scandalous in his relationship with Noemi Letizia, who he has said was the daughter of an old friend from political circles. He said he went to the party because he happened to be in Naples that day.
In the interview, Berlusconi said he was "sad, but serene" over the end of his relationship with Lario. "It was a very painful wound. I don't know if time will be able to cure it." D'Addario's allegations were followed by similar claims by two other women and reports that she had given over to Bari prosecutors audio and video tapes proving her story.
Giampaolo Tarantini, the man being investigated for allegedly abetting prostitution, has said he merely reimbursed the women for their travel and expenses. He said Berlusconi didn't know the expenses were paid.
Berlusconi admitted he knew Tarantini. "He was introduced to me as a serious and respected entrepreneur. Now that he is at the centre of an investigation I think that he should be presumed innocent, like any other citizen involved in a judicial case," he said.
Despite the scandals and criticism, Berlusconi has kept his popularity intact.

Kids Crooked Houses Overshadow Jon & Kate Divorce Announcement
nj.com
In fact, the houses sparked so much buzz during the show that the company's website was offline for a few hours last night.
The divrorce news came together with the new playhouses for the kids. They were done by Kids Crooked House. Perhaps these Crooked Houses -- the kids received four -- will become refuges for the children from events in the main home, which despite the game faces Jon and Kate put on for their children has been plenty crooked for a while. "I'm tired of smiling on the outside when I'm crying on the inside," Kate said. "I've been doing that for a long time." And you're never too old -- or too young -- to learn that the things that appear weakest on the outside may well turn out to be the most solid. That understanding and more, coming up next on "Jon, Kate, 8."

Shiloh Pepin-Mermaid Girl
Shiloh Pepin is only one of three surviving sirenomelia (mermaid syndrome) patients who do not have the usual kidney and bladder complications. One of them is Milagros Cerrón Arauco of Peru born in 2004. Although most of Milagros’ internal organs, including her heart and lungs, are in perfect condition, she was born with serious internal defects, including a deformed left kidney and a very small right one located very low in her body. In addition, her digestive, urinary tracts and genitals share a single tube. The other one is Tiffany Yorks of the United States, born in 1988, who underwent successful surgery in order to separate her legs. She is the longest surviving sirenomelia patient to date.

Woman Is Killed in Illinois Train Derailment
Five tank cars were still burning on Saturday morning, and officials said they would wait for the “very dangerous” inferno to burn out by itself.
Chief Derek Bergsten of the Rockford Fire Department said 74 of the train’s 114 cars were filled with ethanol.
At the height of the fire on Friday night, 14 cars were ablaze, said Patrick Waldron, a Canadian National spokesman.
Eighteen cars, all containing ethanol, left the tracks about 9 p.m. Friday, Mr. Waldron said. The cause of the derailment had not been determined.
Officials evacuated an area on the edge of Rockford, which is about 80 miles northwest of Chicago.
The Winnebago County coroner, Sue Fiduccia, said on Saturday that the person who was killed was a woman who had been waiting in a car for the train to pass through a crossing.
Chief Bergsten said that three people ran from the car when it was bombarded with flying railroad ties and that they were severely burned by flaming ethanol. They were hospitalized in serious to critical condition, he said.
The derailment was being investigated by Canadian National and the Federal Railroad Administration.
Members of the National Transportation Safety Board were en route to the scene early Saturday.

Released David Carradine death scene photo outrage the family
A Thai tabloid newspaper has reportedly published a photo of actor David Carradine's corpse where he was found hanging in a closet.
The picture, which reportedly shows Carradine with his hands tied in front of him, hanging from a closet support bar, was censored in part but still showed sensitive information from the death scene.
The pictures also revealed tattoos on the lower half of his naked body.
Reports indicate the colour of the body would indicate the actor had been dead for some time.
Carradine was a TV icon through the 70's and 80's, starring most famously in the action series, Kung Fu. He enjoyed a career resurgence of sorts when director Quentin Tarantino cast him in the Kill Bill movies.
He was 72 when he passed away.

Petrecere de premieri cu piţipoance
Astfel că s-au dezbrăcat de prejudecăţi şi... pentru a completa tabloul au invitat şi câteva domnişoare fără inhibiţii.
Probalil cei doi sunt extrem de stresaţi, unul fiind tocmai schimbat din funcţie, iar celălalt trece printr-un divorţ care-i afectează conturile şi mai ales imaginea.

"Am reinventat iarba VERDE... din nou!"
O banalitate pentru locuitorii oraşelor civilizate, o MARE realizare pentru Bucureşti.
Poate facem un efort şi reuşim să reinventăm, din pământ, din iarbă verde, şi copacii, bunul simţ sau şoferul nemitocan.

Bucharest, the land of wrong choise.
Mii de turisti britanici s-au trezit pe malul Dambovitei cautand terase chochete si yachturi-restaurant.
SURSA
In loc de aceste banalitati civilizate au gasit: sobolani-plutitori, gata "asomati", munti de gunoaie si "localnici bronzati" care isi spalau boarfele in apa "parfumata" cu dejectii de bucurestean,
taximetristi spalati acum doua veri, care in loc de cateva mii de forinti, taxau turistul cu cel putin 100 de euro, in loc de Jo napot kivanok, Bine c-ati venit ca va facem noi, soferi inarmati pana-n dinti etc.
E bine totusi ca de pe urma britanicilor ignoranti are si turismul romanesc o zvacnire.
Si ca sa fie si mai absurda situatia, turistul englez pleaca acasa cu o imagine deformata despre adevarata capitala danubiana, asta daca nimeni nu reuseste sa-i explice, pe limba lui ca: asa cum Dambovita nu e Dunarea, nici Romania nu e Ungaria.
