Man’s head plays host to squirmy guests
This is just plain gross. This would have plain weird to have something moving around in your head like this. The doctors should have found it sooner.

Russian Probe Shuts Media Foundation – washingtonpost.com
While many other things are going on in the world, Russia is slowly clamping down on rights and privileges, without much cause or concern from around the world.
They took a media foundation that trains journalists and closed it down for a mistake. Not one world from the U.S. Government or any other government around the world.
I think that we need to be careful of Russia and provide more insight on what is happening there to the outside world. Otherwise they are going to be back where they were many years ago, treating their people poorly and scaring the entire world.

The Denver Post – Ill. students lose diplomas over cheers
The Denver Post – Ill. students lose diplomas over cheers
This is crazy. Their parents and friends celebrated their child/friend earning their high school diploma and the school is penalizing them because in their opinion they were too disruptive.
Granted their were problems the previous year. But it sounds that this year it was pretty well under control.
Let’s hope that cooler heads prevail and the students are able to get their diplomas without having to do 8 hours of community service. They earned them already.
Newspapers Don’t Get It – Harsh On Google Indexing
In an article that appeared on the weekend edition of CNet’s News.com website, newspaper publisher’s are harshing on Google wondering why they are getting a free ride.
Last month in a speech at Stanford University, the Tribune Co’s new owner wanted to know, “If all of the newspapers in America did not allow Google to steal their content, how profitable would Google be?”
But the problem is that newspapers get about 25% of their traffic from search engines. If they start trying to get compensated for this coverage, then they will lose viewership and revenue.
Basically, if someone can’t find you on Google, then you don’t exist on the web. Whether that is right or wrong, it is the truth.
When I search news stories on the Internet, I am searching for specific stories. If I can’t find them, then they don’t exist. It would be best for them to let Google index them and make them available so I can find them.
That increases views and that increases their ad revenue.
The newspaper business is changing from a paper based model to a mixed paper and electronic and will soon be all-electronic.
If they don’t adapt and move towards new ad revenues, then they won’t be around. And that would be a bad thing.
Now don’t get me started on subscription based newspaper websites. I think that they are stupid. More soon.

Dusting – It is a bad trip
Well this has becoming the new huffing and it is much more dangerous.
KUSA in Denver had a story this evening on an aspiring teenager who decided to huff when he was taking a bath. He passed out and became paralyzed and he died.
One manufacturer, Memorex, will make it harder to dust by using a bitterent to make it unpleasant. You can read more on this story on Gizmodo.
This is a step, but education that this is going on a big step. I wasn’t even aware that this was happening. It is dangerous and quite stupid.
Kids, don’t do this. It could kill you or ruin your life.
Take a look at the story on the Today Show.
