Wendi Deng Murdoch Smacks Pie-Throwing Protester Who Targeted Rupert Murdoch at Phone-Hacking
Wendi Deng Murdoch, the third wife of media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, is trending after she leapt to her husband's defense—literally—during his testimony before the British Parliament. As the chairman of the News Corporation was answering questions about the phone-hacking scandal that is rocking his media empire, a protester burst into the hearing room and tried to "pie" him. Mrs. Murdoch, a former volleyball player, sprung into action, slapping the assailant as he lunged at his target. No one was injured. The pie thrower was arrested and the hearing resumed about 10 minutes later once order was restored.

一个22岁黑社会青年说的话
一个22岁黑社会青年说的话
我叫胡斌，来自兰州市。曾经是一个不好好学习、爱玩游戏、整天打打杀杀甚至打骂父母危险分 子。由于从小家庭不和睦，父母经常吵架、打架，我从小就不听话。上四年级的时候，我曾经在学校要跳楼，折腾得整个学校不得安宁。我在上课的时候，老师希望 我在最后，只要不影响其他人，睡觉都行。我打架抽烟喝酒，逃课旷课欺负老师。哪个学校都不要我，升级的时候，班主任也不要我。 我妈没办法，只好让我回姥姥家上学。去姥姥家还是不好好上，又被开除。我爸爸又愿意给我最后一次机会，让我去爷爷家，爷爷家还是不好好上，又开除。基本上一个学期一个学校，总共被13所学校开除。
我 不上学的时候，刚刚15岁。我当时高兴死了，我妈妈说你不上学了也有时间把字练一练。我说，我好不容易不上学了，你再也别让我学习了。我多么不容易呀！我 这么捣蛋，我就是为了不上学。我妈妈看说什么也没用，让我去吃苦。叫我去卖报纸，公交车卖票。我肯定是受不了，钱不够，我就接触社会上的人。我从小也是在 这种环境长大的。我家里很多长辈就是社会上的人，而且在我们当地，名气特别大。我们出去坐车，吃、喝、玩不给钱，也没人敢要。我整天就是吃喝玩乐，晚上就 是和朋友结伙去打架。去砍，去群殴。 在我上私立学校的时候，看周润发的电影对我的影响也挺大的。宿舍里就给我们放《古惑仔》，我 们都爱看，觉得就应该这样学，这样多潇洒，整天打架多厉害。把打骂父母欺负老师当成时尚，当作光荣。你敢打你爸爸妈妈吗？你敢欺负老师吗？但是我现在发自 内心地向我爸爸妈妈，还有13所学校的老师校长认错，我在这里给这些我对不起的人鞠一躬。对不起，我错了。....详细内容请查阅 http://www.goodstorycollection.com/10/post/2011/06/221.html

The Power of Words
This short film illustrates the power of words to radically change your message and your effect upon the world. At Purplefeather we provide powerful, optimised web content to get you noticed online. Homage to Historia de un letrero, The Story of a Sign by Alonso Alvarez Barreda Music by: Giles Lamb http://www.gileslamb.com Filmed by www.redsnappa.com Director Seth Gardner.
Cast: Bill Thompson, Beth Miller http://www.uk.castingcallpro.com
It's a powerful message, but I have mixed feelings about an advertising company using the fate of blind people to promote their own business.
Yes this clip can do a lot of good and make you feel more connected with those poor people, but it is also a standard marketing strategy to create strong emotional triggers and then link them to a product.
Not saying this clip is bad, just undecided what to think of it.
Blogger: I see the power of words. Just change the words, the effect is so much different.

外报评论：性片涉及者身分确定
外报评论：性片涉及者身分确定
2011/04/15 6:13:41 PM
●摘自《马来西亚前锋报》
《马来西亚前锋报》 专栏作者阿旺士拉末在评论中祝贺警方，因为警方已鉴定疑似反对党领袖性短片中涉及者的身分。
尽管警方未公开性片主角身分，这项最新的发展将有助揭开反对党领袖被指涉及性片的各种疑问。
相信所有人都希望案件调查工作迅速完成，还被指涉及性片的各方一个公道。
全国警察总长丹斯里依斯迈表示，警方将在下周完成调查报告，并呈交给总检察署。
相信警方已完成完整与专业的调查，因为许多人已受召录取口供，包括公正党顾问安华。
评论也希望警方从奥米茄手表销售商取得资料，例如谁是名表购买者等，这肯定是性片调查的重要线索。

Review for Limitless by KC Goh
Limitless is a 2011 American techno-thriller film directed by Neil Burger and starring Bradley Cooper, Abbie Cornish, and Robert De Niro. It is based on the 2001 novel The Dark Fields by Alan Glynn with the screenplay by Leslie Dixon. The film was released in the United States and Canada on March 18, 2011. It was released in the United Kingdom on March 23, 2011.

Plot
Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper) is a writer who lives in New York City and has recently been dumped by his girlfriend Lindy (Abbie Cornish) in addition to failing to meet the deadline to turn in his new book, which he hasn't written yet. One day, Eddie comes across Vernon Gant (Johnny Whitworth), the brother of his ex-wife Melissa Gant (Anna Friel). Vernon is a drug dealer who offers Eddie a sample of a new drug, NZT-48. Eddie accepts, and, much to his surprise, the drug increases his intelligence and improves his focus.
Eddie asks Vernon for more of the drug, and Vernon agrees. When Eddie goes to Vernon's apartment, he finds Vernon dead. Eddie finds a stash of NZT hidden in the oven alongside a book with several names and some money, which he takes for his own personal gain. With Vernon's money and the NZT, Eddie creates a new image for himself and abandons writing to enter the stock market. He becomes rich at an incredibly fast pace and is soon employed by the powerful businessman Carl Van Loon (Robert DeNiro). Eddie also gets back together with Lindy. Meanwhile, he feels that he is being followed by a man in a tan coat (Tomas Arana). Soon, the side-effects of NZT appear.
Eddie fails to accomplish a task assigned to him by Carl because of the lack of NZT and fears he might have killed a woman. He learns that withdrawal from the drug causes death or a serious damage of the mental faculties. Eddie is warned to reduce the dosages until he can stop, before it's too late.
Eddie tries to do so, but, with the lack of it, he starts to feel ill. Eddie pays a chemist to produce more NZT and, in the meantime, tries to recover his stolen stash.
A year later, Eddie has had his book published (the book's title, Illuminating the Dark Fields, linking to the novel that inspired the film) and is running for United States Senate and is further considered to be a potential candidate for the United States Presidency. In the midst of his Senate campaign, Carl approaches Eddie and informs him that he has purchased the pharmaceutical company that created NZT and forced the closure of Eddie's lab. Carl offers Eddie an unlimited supply of NZT; however, Eddie must approve Carl's agenda in return. Eddie refuses the offer, informing Carl that he no longer takes NZT and has in fact experimented with and created a better version of NZT that lacks its side effects and works even better. As they are talking outside of Eddie's campaign office, Carl expresses his doubt regarding Eddie's new and improved NZT analogue. To prove it, Eddie points to a van up the street and tells him it will crash into the taxi cab stopped further up the street, even predicting the exact timing of the event. Carl turns around to watch the driver of the van, who is distracted with his cell phone, driving too fast and not looking up in time, resulting in him crashing into the cab. This appears to be enough evidence for Carl and he gets into his vehicle to depart from the scene.

Scientific accuracy
Physics professor James Kakalios said it was plausible that medical science could improve intelligence, but that neurochemistry was not advanced enough for it to be possible currently. Kakalios also said the notion used in the film that human beings can only access 24% of their brains (though the film never explicitly states that this is the case, with one character only once saying "you know they say we can only access 24% of our brain?") is a myth; 100% of it is used at different times. Moreover, if 100% of the brain's neurons were to fire simultaneously, all of the available oxygen would be consumed and the individual would most likely die or suffer severe neurological trauma. Kakalios said if such a pill existed, a person running out of the supply could actually experience a rebound effect, and "might become really stupid".[9]
This blogger’s reviews
Limitless is entertaining. If we could just take a pill and become son intelligence, we like to do it if there is no side effect.
In the market, there are people who can predict the future and these people can go into your past lives and see what you have done and try to correct it so that fate in the future which is now the present times could improve. This kind of courses can sell like a hot cake.
The 10% of brain myth is the widely-perpetuated myth that most or all humans only make use of 10 percent of their brains. It has been misattributed to people including Albert Einstein.[1] By association, it is suggested that a person may harness this unused potential and increase intelligence.
Though factors of intelligence can increase with training, the idea that large parts of the brain remain unused is without foundation. Although many mysteries regarding brain function remain, every part of the brain has a known function. Therefore, when we said that we only use 10 % or 24 % of the brain, it is actually not true.
The fact that if we can think with clarity and be able to learn things in a short span of time, we can become successful and we can be very rich. The improved intelligence could just change the perception of people towards you.
If we don’t have the pill, what should we do. We should read more and trying to improve our intelligence by using the available techniques as of today. We should do meditation and try to acquire the psychic powers so that we can make better decisions. Of couse, there is currently no scientifically verified body of evidence supporting the existence of such powers.
You will love this movie, it opens up a lot of imagination and possibilities. Of course, there is always a difference between reality and myth. Take a pill or you just have to work for it.
