"Rock of Love: Charm School" contestant Megan Hauserman says Sharon Osbourne attacked her.

Los Angeles police are investigating Sharon Osbourne for minor battery after Megan Hauserman's claims that Ozzy's wife attacked her during a taping of their reality show, "Rock of Love: Charm School."

Hauserman, known on the show for her svelte figure and sharp tongue, alleges that Osbourne flipped out, running across the stage and attacking her.

Osbourne, who hosts the VH1 etiquette competition, apparently yanked Hauserman's hair and scratched at her until security separated them, TMZ.com reports. Hauserman went to the hospital, but so far no charges have been filed.

The catfight reportedly started after Osbourne made a snide remark to the bikini model, who responded by telling Osbourne that she's only famous for "managing a brain-dead rock star."

But the bad blood began long before the reunion episode. After Hauserman was booted off the show, losing out on a chance to win $100,000, Osborne didn't have kind things to say about the ditzy blonde.

"She does have a pretty damn good body, but no f---ing brain. Her brain is between her legs," Osbourne said.

How long you figure before an assassination attempt?
And let me say right off, don't start hating because I asked that. It's a valid question. I wish no harm to the man, well, unless I'm right and he is the anti-Christ.

Seriously tho, w-t-f was with Michelle Obama's dress last night? That was FUGLY..

EDIT: I knew it..

A remote-code exploit that could spread rapidly like the 2003 MSBlaster worm is putting all versions of Windows at risk.
Susan Bradley By Susan Bradley
I recommend that you immediately install a patch that Microsoft has just issued to protect your system from a vulnerability in the Server service.

MS08-067 (958644)
Rare out-of-cycle patch emphasizes the risk

With little warning, Microsoft released yesterday an unscheduled or "out-of-cycle" patch for a highly critical vulnerability that affects all versions of Windows. Security bulletin MS08-067 (patch 958644) was posted to warn of a remote-code attack that could spread wildly across the Internet.

Microsoft says it found evidence two weeks ago of an RPC (remote procedure call) attack that can potentially infect Windows machines across the Net with no user action required.

Windows Server 2003, 2000, and XP (even with Service Pack 2 or 3 installed) are particularly vulnerable. Vista and Server 2008 gain some protection via User Account Control, data-execution protection, and other safeguards, as explained in an article by Dan Goodin in the Register.

While firewalls are a first line of defense against this attack, don't think you're secure just because you have a firewall. Malware and viruses use many different techniques to wiggle their way into our systems.

For example, my office's networks are protected by firewalls on the outside, but inside the network, PCs have file and printer sharing enabled. If a worm got loose inside the office network (and the patch hadn't been installed), the attack would spread like wildfire.

Many antivirus vendors have already issued definition updates that protect against this attack. Your antivirus program, however, may not protect you completely even if your AV definitions are up-to-date. Early reports indicate that there are already nine different strains of viruses trying to take advantage of this vulnerability. We can expect more to come, so even the best AV application may not be able to update fast enough.

I've tested this patch and have had no problems applying it. I strongly urge you to download and install this patch manually. Restart your PC before installing any patch to verify that your machine is bootable. Then be sure to reboot again after installing the patch, so the patched binaries completely replace the vulnerable components.

Microsoft has posted several versions of the patch that apply to different operating systems:

• Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4 patch download
• Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or 3 patch download
• Windows XP 64-bit Edition patch download
• Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 or 2 patch download
• Windows Server 2003 64-bit Edition patch download
• Windows Vista with or without Service Pack 1 patch download
• Windows Vista 64-bit Edition with or without Service Pack 1 patch download
• Windows Server 2008 32-bit Edition patch download
• Windows Server 2008 64-bit Edition patch download

More information: Please read security bulletin MS08-067. For an excellent technical explanation of the vulnerability and possible mitigations, read TechNet's Oct. 23 description. (TechNet incorrectly refers to MS08-067 as "out-of-band," but the patch is simply out-of-cycle, because it wasn't released on Microsoft's usual Patch Tuesday monthly cycle.)

A married couple in Cambodia who had "finally had enough" of each other have gone their separate ways by literally cutting their home in half.


The husband sawed off his half of the house following the split. [Agencies] 

The wife will stay put with the upright half while her husband has carried away his half to start again on the other side of the village.

Neighbors said the couple saw the radical action as the most cost-efficient and equitable way to avoid each other in a country where divorce lawyers can be expensive.

Vorng Morn, the headman of Cheach village, fifty miles from the capital Phnom Penh, told the Phnom Penh Post: "We tried to persuade them to think clearly before they did this because they had been married for nearly 40 years. But they did not listen."

Mr Morn refused to identify the couple to protect their privacy.

The impetus for the break up was the husband's alleged malingering, or the wife's alleged lack of care, depending on your point of view.

"His wife said that if her husband got sick and stayed at home, she was made to pay for his medicine, but if he stayed at his parent's house, she wouldn't have to pay. So they separated," said Mr Morn.

Following the spat, the husband's friends helped him move his wife's belongings to one side of the property, before chiselling and sawing half of the building off, in a drastic move that even Steptoe and Son did not quite manage.

Until he reconstructs his half of the marital home the husband will live with his mother and father.

A JAPANESE company today unveiled a wearable airbag for the elderly that pops out when they fall.

The 1.1kg airbag looks like a traveller's waist pouch but inflates in one-tenth of a second when sensors detect the wearer has taken a tumble.

The Tokyo-based company, Prop, unveiled the ¥<148,000 ($1685) device at a fair of products for the elderly and people with disabilities.

It protects the back of the head and the buttocks with two inflated bags that contain 15 litres of gas each.

Elderly people are more prone to injury when they fall due to their brittle bones.

Japan has one of the world's highest life expectancy rates, which is attributed to a mix of factors including a traditional healthy diet with plenty of vegetables.

People aged 65 or older accounted for 21.5 per cent of the total population of 127 million last year, according to the Government.

More than 36,000 people are aged over 100.

But Japan is facing growing costs of caring for its elderly since fewer young people are having children.

Ok. So, these boys ran across a field. SO WHAT? They get arrested? FOR WHAT? Thats totally stupid. It was a prank and I heard a lot laughing at it in the clip that was shown this am. Not like they streaked or anything, Which reminds me of a couple of things.
Lemme tell ya about Grand Prairie High back in the late 70's. One day, a few from one class decided to hijack the schools PA. Piped thru KZEW. No one got arrested. Maybe got detention.
Another day, I think it was for senior prom, some of the boys headed up to Kips Big Boy that used to be on Main st. (a mexican seafood place now). The took KIP! Took that huge mf'er and it showed up at prom. THEY LAUGHED. Even the teachers. It was taken back that next day. NO ONE WAS ARRESTED. Funny tho, that sucker showed up at the 10 year reunion too.
There was a pep rally too, where a guy put on shorts and covered them with balloons so you couldn't tell if he was nekkid or not. He ran thru the rally, everyone laughed and no one went to jail.
Sorry, this story just angered me..
EDIT:
 I might also mention that at that time, GPH had a smoking section. If you were 16 and had permission from your parents, you could go smoke in the lounge. It was moved outside a few years later then dumped.
I have no idea why that came to mind, but it did. LOL

Palin email hack raises a question a lot of people seem to have been ignoring: what the hell is a government official doing conducting sensitive government business on an unsecured private account? Don't get me wrong, I like the woman. But that was just a dumbass and maybe an illegal thing to do.

The Daily Telegraph September 16, 2008 12:00am


A 2cm long fish apparently found it's way into the penis of a 14-year-old boy from India in a bizarre medical case.

The patient was admitted to hospital with complaints of pain, dribbling urine and acute urinary retention spanning a 24-hour period. According to the boy, the fish slipped into his penis while he was cleaning his aquarium at home.

Professor Vezhaventhan and Professor Jeyaraman, who treated the boy and later wrote a paper on the case, explained: "While he was cleaning the fish tank in his house, he was holding a fish in his hand and went to the toilet for passing urine. When he was passing urine, the fish slipped from his hand and entered his urethra and then he developed all these symptoms."

After detecting the fish in the boy's bladder, Vezhaventhan and Jeyaraman used a technique known as cystourethroscopy to insert a special set of forceps down the patient's penis. Unfortunately, the fish was just too slippery to grip, so they resorted to using a rigid ureteroscope with a tool attached that is normally used for removing bladder stones.

The fish the urologists removed, which Practical Fishkeeping believes to be a small member of the Betta genus, measured 2cm long and 1.5cm wide.

He was later admitted into counseling to help him overcome any trauma.

Sounds fishy to me...  ;-}

Obama requesting the Iraqi president to hold off approving troop reductions until after the election? Done in secret while on his eurpoean BARACK-STAR tour? And at the same time publicly calling for the administration to do the exact opposite, on his stump speeches?

And for those who have lost track, al queda still exists and continues to plot your demise. BUT we are much more effective at foiling their plans, though you wouldn't know it from the press coverage. Tell me if you saw or read THIS on any news broadcast or paper?

Full Story and Video Here

Al-Jazeera aired video it said showed the moments after the attack

A car bomb and rocket attack on the US embassy in Yemen has killed at least 16 people, including civilians and Yemeni security guards, Yemen officials said.

The bomb targeted the main security gate as staff were arriving for work.

An exchange of gun and rocket fire followed between embassy security guards and militants, whom eyewitnesses said were dressed as policemen.

The White House said the attack was a reminder of continuing threats from "extremists both at home and abroad".

White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe added: "We will continue to work with the government of Yemen to increase our counter-terrorism activities to prevent more attacks from taking place."

Security sources said six members of the Yemeni security forces, six attackers, and four bystanders were killed in the attack, which occurred in the capital, Sanaa, at about 0830 (0530 GMT).

'Massive fireball'

British citizen Trev Mason described hearing explosions while in his residential compound near the embassy.

"We heard the sounds of a heavy gunbattle going on. I looked out of my window and we saw the first explosion going off, a massive fireball very close to the US embassy," he told CNN television.

The new attack is the second on the embassy in the past six months.

A group calling itself the Islamic Jihad in Yemen said it carried out the attack, and threatened to target other foreign missions in the region unless its jailed members were released.

Map of Yemen The authenticity of the claim could not be immediately verified.

Earlier this year, the US ordered the evacuation of non-essential personnel from Yemen after mortar bombs were fired towards the embassy. They missed but hit a nearby school.

Yemen, the ancestral home of Osama Bin Laden, has long been a haven for Islamist militants.

In 2000, 17 US sailors were killed when suicide bombers with alleged links to al-Qaeda blew themselves up on an inflatable raft next to the USS Cole in the Yemeni port of Aden.

The government of Yemen, which backs America's "war on terror", has often blamed al-Qaeda for attacks on Western targets in the country.

US special forces have been helping the government fight the Islamist militants.

But analysts say there has been only limited success in restraining the militant groups.

Yemen is a desperately poor corner of the Middle East and, like Afghanistan, there is rugged mountainous terrain, with a vast supply of weapons.
