Wo, so many sex offenders in MySpace.
The operators of MySpace have identified and removed more than 29,000 registered sex offenders with profiles on the hugely popular website, according to the US authorities.
but, any one knows how much are still in MySpace?
The figure is more than four times higher than that announced by the social networking site earlier this year.
It has been obtained by the authorities in North Carolina, which demanded that MySpace provide data on how many registered sex offenders were using the site, as well as information about where they live.

Microsoft in ads deal with Digg.com
Do you like Microsoft?
Microsoft and news sharing site Digg have signed a three-year deal that will see the software giant manage advertising on Digg.com.
Have you even used digg.com?
The text-based Google advertising that currently appears on Digg is due to be replaced in the coming weeks.
Digg says it gets over 17 million unique monthly visitors.
How come thre are so many visitors?
In other news, Microsoft has also announced that its games advertising division Massive Inc has secured the contract for the display of adverts on some of the top games from publisher EA.
Any way, Microsoft and Google are facing each other directly.
The five games - mostly popular US sports titles - are Madden NFL 08, Nascar 08, NHL 08, skateboarding game Skate, and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08.
At the time Microsoft bought Massive last year, the Wall Street Journal reported the deal was worth between $200m to $400m.
No financial details of the EA deal have been released.

Mobile phone masks do not ...
A major UK three-year study has indicated that mobile phone masks do not make you sick - they are not the cause of the symptoms of ill health claimed by some people.
Such symptoms as nausea, fatigue and anxiety may feel genuine, according to the Environmental Health Perspectives study, but they are not triggered by the masts.
Believe it not or...everyday there are new reports..
Mast Sanity, a campaign group, says the findings are unreliable because 12 participants in the trial dropped out due to ill health.
Numerous people during the trial blamed the masts for their symptoms when they were told they were turned on. However, dozens thought the mast was on when it was off and still felt the symptoms, while others felt well when they thought the masts were off.
The study indicates the problem is a psychological one.
Ha ha ..psychological..a word many people like to use to explain thing cant be proved.
Study leader, Elaine Fox, University of Essex, explained that belief is a powerful thing. "If you really believe something is going to do you some harm, it will."
Electro-sensitivity is believed by a number of individuals to be an allergy to such modern day appliances as mobile phone masts and hair driers.
A previous UK study, carried out by the HPA (Health Protection Agency) reported there was no evidence that showed an association between electrical equipment and ill health.
That study, however, did not examine the effects the waves from phone masts might have.
This latest study has done just that.
But..there will be many many reports saying ..not ...
chees..
Scientists studied a total of 44 participants, excluding the 12 who dropped out. All the 44 had reported symptoms. They were compared to a control group of 114 who had never complained of ill effects from phone masts.When both groups were told a signal was being emitted from the phone masts - both GSM and UMTS (3G), those who had reported symptoms said they did not feel well.However, when the trial was double-blind, the number of symptoms reported was completely random. In other words, when neither testers nor participants knew whether the masts were emitting or not, the participants' reports of feeling ill did not correspond at all with the masts' emissions or lack of emissions.5 people out of the control group of 114 guessed correctly when emissions were taking place, and 2 did the same from the group of 44. The researchers said this proportion is what is expected by chance.Even though it seems the 'sensitive' people reported symptoms at random, their symptoms were real - their blood pressure had risen and their perspiration had increased. Despite their symptoms not synchronizing with emitting phone masts, these physiological reactions did occur.

DNA .. the chemical secert
In living organisms, DNA does not usually exist as a single molecule, but instead as a tightly-associated pair of molecules.
These two long strands entwine like vines, in the shape of a double helix.
The nucleotide repeats contain both the segment of the backbone of the molecule, which holds the chain together, and a base, which interacts with the other DNA strand in the helix.
In general, a base linked to a sugar is called a nucleoside and a base linked to a sugar and one or more phosphate groups is called a nucleotide.
If multiple nucleotides are linked together, as in DNA, this polymer is referred to as a polynucleotide.
The backbone of the DNA strand is made from alternating phosphate and sugar residues.[8] The sugar in DNA is 2-deoxyribose, which is a pentose (five carbon) sugar.
The sugars are joined together by phosphate groups that form phosphodiester bonds between the third and fifth carbon atoms of adjacent sugar rings.
These asymmetric bonds mean a strand of DNA has a direction.
In a double helix the direction of the nucleotides in one strand is opposite to their direction in the other strand. This arrangement of DNA strands is called antiparallel.
The asymmetric ends of a strand of DNA bases are referred to as the 5 (five prime) and 3 (three prime) ends. One of the major differences between DNA and RNA is the sugar, with 2-deoxyribose being replaced by the alternative pentose sugar ribose in RNA.
The DNA double helix is stabilized by hydrogen bonds between the bases attached to the two strands. The four bases found in DNA are adenine (abbreviated A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T).
These four bases are shown below and are attached to the sugar/phosphate to form the complete nucleotide, as shown for adenosine monophosphate.

Interesting Country - Canada
The man who created a detection system used by MySpace to track and expel 29,000 American-registered sex offenders from the online social network site says Ottawa's information laws are preventing detection verification companies from tracking Canadian offenders.
Canada is an interesting country. They live to help the offenders to break the laws.
The public does not have access to the national sex offender registry -- a database that provides Canadian police services with information to investigate crimes of a sexual nature.
I dont like the is stupid nation.
MySpace, which has an estimated 180 million profiles, announced Wednesday it had "partnered with Sentinel Tech to build technology to remove registered sex offenders from our site."
That's why even Canada is a resource very rich nation, it is so poor.
"Through this innovative technology, we're pleased that we've successfully identified and deleted these registered sex offenders and hope that other social networking sites follow our lead," Hemanshu Nigam, MySpace's chief security officer said in a release.
Speaking from his company's offices in Miami, Fla., Cardillo said keeping sexual predators off the Internet is no longer a technical challenge, it's become a political challenge, with only the United States freeing up information to companies like his to integrate a database of predators into a detection system.

Japanese may buy much more oil
Japanese officials agreed to work with UN inspectors after a powerful earthquake shut down the country’s largest nuclear plant and raised fresh concerns about its nuclear sector.
I dont care about the safe of the plants. I care about the oil price.
The earthquake caused radioactive spills and other problems reportedly compounded by employee error.
All fifty-five Japanese nuclear plants have this kind of vulnerability,” a Kobe University seismologist told USA Today.
So, the 50 plants may be closed very soon.
The incident follows last year’s order from a judge to shut down Japan’s second-largest plant because it was not earthquake ready.
A series of other high-profile nuclear accidents, including in 1999 and 2004, create a growing quandary for Japan—the world’s third-largest consumer of nuclear power behind the United States and France.
Japanese are using a lot of nuclear power.
If japanese change to use oil instead ...
Environmental advocates were quick to assert that the latest incident means nuclear power is unsafe.
Japan is not the only country in the world that has built nuclear power plants on or near fault lines.
The Philippine government pays $155,000 a day in interest on a nuclear facility never put into operation because it was built near major fault lines.
Energy-starved Armenia continues to run its Metsamor nuclear plant despite a nearby fault line and the safety concerns of European Union and U.S. officials.
A 1988 quake in the region killed twenty-five thousand people.
Oil price will keep on going up...all over the wrold ..
In the United States, two watchdog groups want to close a Michigan nuclear plant, which they believe fails to adhere to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s earthquake safety regulations for waste handling.
Concerns about earthquakes also threaten U.S. plans to build a nuclear waste repository in Nevada’s Yucca Mountain.
and, dont forget, China will use much more oil in the coming years.

Abby Lockhart in ER
I like watching ER, I like Abby ..Maura Tierney, a familiar face to television viewers after her four-year role as newswriter Lisa Miller on NBC’s critically acclaimed comedy “NewsRadio,” has shifted to a more dramatic gear on the full-throttle pace of “ER” where she received an Emmy Award nomination for her performance as a former medical student who’s resumed her nursing career in the ER.
Even Abby is not very pretty, but many poeple like to watch her performance in ER.
Born in Boston, Tierney says she prefers living in New York over Los Angeles -- or for that matter, any other city she’s visited.
She has made a habit of travel; she and her husband drive cross-country for fun and adventure and they’ve only missed two states so far.
However, she divides her working time between New York and Los Angeles.
If you like watching ER, I believe you are also a fans of Abby.
Tierney, who has always been interested in the dramatic arts, attended New York University and Circle-in-the-Square Theatre School. Her stage credits include roles in “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead,” “The Bald Soprano,” “Baby with Bathwater,” “Danny and the Deep Blue Sea” and “Talking With.”
The young actress had her first starring role on television in Norman Lear’s comedy series “704 Hauser Street.” Tierney’s additional credits include starring in the television films “Out of Darkness,” “Student Exchange” and “Crossing the Mob.” She guest-starred in the series “Growing Pains,” “Family Ties” and NBC’s “Law & Order.”
On the big screen, Tierney starred with Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock in the film “Forces of Nature,” opposite Anthony Hopkins and Cuba Gooding Jr. in “Instinct,” alongside John Travolta and Emma Thompson in Mike Nichols’ “Primary Colors,” and opposite Jim Carrey in “Liar, Liar.” Earlier this year she was seen in “Scotland P.A.,” written and directed by her husband, Billy Morrissette, and also starring Christopher Walken and Tierney’s former “NewsRadio” co-star Andy Dick. Tierney was most recently seen starring opposite Al Pacino, Robin Williams, and Hilary Swank in “Insomnia.”
Tierney lives in Los Angeles with her husband. Her birthday is February 3.
