"The lizard has these very tall, straight teeth and Obama has these tall, straight incisors and a great smile,'' said Nick Longrich, a paleontologist at the school in New Haven, Connecticut.

It was believed to have lived during the Cretaceous Period, which began 145.5 million years ago. Along with many dinosaurs from that era, the lizard died out about 65 million years ago when a giant asteroid struck earth, scientists say.

Longrich said he waited until after the recent U.S. election to name the lizard.

"It would look like we were kicking him when he's down if he lost and we named this extinct lizard after him,'' he said in an interview.

Obamadon: Researchers Name Pre-historic Lizard After Smiling President

Researchers have named a newly discovered, pre-historic lizard Obamadon gracilis in honor of the 44th president's toothy grin.

The small, insect-eating lizard was first discovered in eastern Montana in 1974, but a recent re-examination showed the fossil had been wrongly classified as a Leptochamops denticulatus and was, in fact, a new species, researchers told Reuters on Tuesday.

Obamadon gracilis was one of nine newly discovered species reported on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

In naming the new species, scientists from Yale and Harvard universities combined the Latin ``Obamadon'' for ``Obama's teeth'' and ``gracilis,'' which means slender.

Researchers compared the waistline measurements and weight of participants who ate a reduced-fat diet with those whose diet included the usual amounts of fat for at least six months.

Along with the loss of 1.6 kg of bodyweight, they also found that the participants reduced their total BMI by 0.56kg/m² â€" kg per square meter -and cut their waist circumference by 0.5cm.

Wondering if the weight reduction by those in the group that consumed few fats was due in part to the additional time, attention and support they received, compared to those in the normal fat intake group, researchers looked to studies where both groups were given equal time and attention and found that the weight reduction did not disappear suggesting that the weight loss was really due to lower fat intake.

The researchers believe their findings could play a role in dietary recommendations to help in the worldwide battle against obesity. The WHO and other public health organizations say obesity is a major risk factor for high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, some cancers and musculoskeletal disorders, such as the highly disabling degenerative disease of the joints, osteoarthritis.

Looking to update its guidelines on total fat intake, the WHO recently commissioned a study to evaluate the relationship between the amount of fat and fatty products  consumed in daily diets and various indicators of body fatness such as total weight, waist size and/or body mass index (BMI).

For their study, the researchers evaluated 33 trials in North America, Europe and New Zealand, involving 73,589 participants of various ages and states of health.

Scientist Discover Way to Lose Weight Without Dieting

December 10th, 2012



British scientists have found you can lose weight without dieting â€" by replacing high-fat foods with their low-fat counterparts.

Writing in the British Medical Journal,  researchers from the University of East Anglia found that people who switched out high-fat foods with low-fat substitutes lost about 1.6 kg over six months without any additional dieting.

They also found lowering fat in your diet provides additional health advantages, such as lowering blood pressure and bad cholesterol levels.

The Art Of Epal Politics

Philippine politics is very unique in terms of its complexity and idiocy. One of its roots is epal politics. 

“Epal” as defined by  #epalwatch  as slang for “mapapel,” a Filipino term for attention grabbers or people who crave a role (papel) in affairs that are not necessarily theirs to handle or decide.

Thanks to Sen. Miriam Santiago for proposing  Anti-Epal bill â€" “An Act Prohibiting Public Officers from Claiming Credit through Signage Announcing a Public Works Project." This act will prevent shameless government officials in using government funds to campaign and promote themselves through their projects.

The defense of these officials is that they are using this to inform their people of their projects. However, having their pictures and names boldly on it is a very obvious act of promotion as if its their money and not ours. You don't have to put your whole name and picture for the project that is funded by the people's treasury.

press conference in 2007 - the 20th anniversary of the event


He now works as yoga instructor and financial analyst

Rust never piloted an airplane again. In fact, he spent many years trying to distance himself from his famous flight. In 2002 he founded a meditation service designed to “fight violence by providing proper redress,” for which he has spent a lot of time in the Middle East, mostly in Palestinian territories, but to help pay the bills Rust also works for a London-based investment firm.

Though frustrated that he never got to meet Gorbachev, he takes satisfaction in having had a small but important impact on relations between the superpowers. Four years after his “mission,” the forces that his flight helped to strengthen dissolved the Soviet Union, and the cold war ended.

As for Mathias Rust himself â€" he has been in trouble a few times since. He stabbed a girl twice in the stomach with a knife in 1989 when she refused to go out with him. He spent 15 months in jail for that offence.

In 1996 he became engaged to a daughter of a rich Indian tea merchant and converted to Hinduism.

In 2001 he was convicted for stealing a cashmere pullover and ordered to pay 10,000 marks; the sentence was later reduced to 600 marks. In 2005, he was convicted of fraud and had to pay â,¬1,500 for stolen goods.

He lived in several different places around the world during the 1990’s, but today he has settled back into a small town outside his birthplace, Hamburg. He is now working as a financial advisor, advising private investors and companies about investment in properties in the Baltic countries and elsewhere.. Rust has also discovered another source of income. He has become a keen Poker player for high stakes, and has come away from the table with a major windfall on several occasions.

Over a period of five evenings playing poker on a yacht he won â,¬750,000.

He is busy writing his memoirs and will publish the book in 2012 on the 25th anniversary of his landing in Red Square.

Main article source: The Notorious Flight of Mathias Rust, Ronald Reagan was president, there was still a Soviet Union, and a 19-year-old pilot set out to change the world. By Tom LeCompte - Air & Space Magazine, July 01, 2005

http://rnzaf.proboards.com/

Then in 1988, following the signing of a non-proliferation treaty by Reagan and Gorbachev, Rust was released as a gesture of good will after serving only 14 months.

Rust's flight was seen as so incredible to Muscovites that it wormed its way into popular culture. For a while Red Square was jokingly referred to as Sheremetyevo-3 - Sheremetyevo-1 and -2 are airports near Moscow.

Within a year of returning to Hamburg, Rust stabbed a colleague at a hospital where he worked and ended up behind bars again.

Today he makes his living as a financial analyst and a yoga instructor.

He says he has no regrets about what he did and believes he had a hand in helping President Gorbachev with his reforms.

"I am very convinced that I enabled him to push through his Perestroika and Glasnost much faster than he would have done without me."

http://www.bbc.co.uk/

Once the police had recovered from the shock of finding an unauthorised aircraft parked at the gates of the Kremlin, Rust was arrested.

He spent hours trying to persuade the authorities that he had acted alone and was not part of some sinister plot hatched by foreign governments.


“A big crowd had formed around me,” Rust says. “People were smiling and coming up to shake my hand or ask for autographs. There was a young Russian guy who spoke English. He asked me where I came from. I told him I came from the West and wanted to talk to Gorbachev to deliver this peace message that would [help Gorbachev] convince everybody in the West that he had a new approach.”

In the Kremlin there was shock and plenty of red faces as the full extent of the humiliating incident became apparent.

But it is likely that President Gorbachev realised he could use the opportunity to his advantage to rid himself of military officials whom he saw as standing in the way of his reforms.

Within a couple of days the minister of defence had been forced to retire, and the head of the air defence services had been sacked. Over the next few months more than 150 people lost their jobs.

*Rust bypasses Soviet air defence system of 2,250 aircraft and 10,000 surface-to-air missiles

*Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev holds an emergency meeting of the ruling Politburo - it criticises air defence ministers for carelessness and lack of decisiveness

*Defence Minister Sergei Sokolov is forced to retire - air defence chief Alexander Koldunov is sacked

*About 150 officers are removed from their posts

Rust was charged and pleaded guilty to violating international flight rules and illegally crossing the Soviet border. After some confusion in court he pleaded not guilty to "malicious hooliganism".

The judge sentenced him to four years in a labour camp for what he called an act of adventurism.


Rust's trial started in Moscow on September 2, 1987. He was sentenced
to four years following light regime terms for hooliganism, disregard
of aviation laws and breaching of the Soviet border.

Despite being allowed to serve his time in Lefortovo prison in Moscow, Rust took his confinement badly.

"It was really hard for me being just 19 years old to just be locked up for 23 hours a day. I had a lot of difficulty keeping food down and I lost a lot of weight," he says.

At around 19:00, just as the sun was going down, Rust taxied his plane into the square and climbed out of the cockpit to greet the crowds which gathered around him.

They wanted to know where the young foreigner was from and why he was there.

"I am here on a peace mission from Germany," Rust told them.

When they shook his hand, glad to meet an ally, he had to explain that he came from "the other Germany", West not the Communist East as they presumed.

Dr Robin Stott, a British doctor who happened to be in Moscow as part of an anti-nuclear pressure group, was taking time out from a non-proliferation conference to see the sights when Rust landed his plane right in front of him.

"It was an extraordinary thing. None of us had a clue what was going on," he recalls.

"Everyone around him was very impressed; even the security services kept saying what a brave boy they thought he was."


Mathias talking to the crowd after landing in Red Square May 28, 1987

On the ground, Soviet citizens were stopping and looking up in amazement as the small white plane circled just 30 ft (10m) above the ground.

Finally Rust spotted a four-lane bridge next to St Basil's Cathedral so he circled around one more time and touched down there.

Later, when he was questioned by the Russian police, he learned that the bridge was usually spanned by thick cables, which would have made a landing impossible.

By chance, they had been removed from the bridge that very morning for maintenance.

"The police presumed that I had co-operators in Moscow who had arranged it so that I would be able to land," Rust says.

Somehow Rust managed to make it hundreds of miles across Soviet airspace to the capital without any further contact from USSR defence forces.

"I couldn't believe I actually survived," he recalls.

"I had calculated at the time that my chances of survival were about 50:50 and after I reached my destination, I knew that I really was on the lucky side."

But his relief at seeing the spires and domes of Moscow quickly faded when he realised that landing was going to be difficult.

He had wanted to bring down the plane in the middle of Red Square in order to make a big statement but the landmark was packed full of people.

An enormous manhunt was launched by the Finnish coastguard and when a patch of oil was spotted on the sea surface, divers were brought in to search for a wreck.

While they were hunting for him, Rust was sitting snug in his cockpit as his plane crossed into Soviet airspace, over Estonia.

Within minutes he had been picked up by Soviet radar, and less than an hour later a MiG fighter jet approached him.

"It passed me on my left side so close that I could see the two pilots sitting in the cockpit and I saw of course the red star of the wing of the aircraft."

Rust was terrified, but instead of attacking him, the jet passed by and disappeared into the clouds.

A combination of unbelievable luck and human error had led to Rust's plane being mistaken for a friendly aircraft.

A plane crash the previous day, and an ongoing rescue operation, along with training for new pilots had led to confusion in the air and in control centres.

"I was weighing if it is really responsible, reasonable, to take this kind of risk. At the end I came to the conclusion, 'I have to risk it.'"

On the morning of 28 May, he told air traffic control in Helsinki he would be heading to Stockholm, in Sweden. Even then he wasn't completely sure he would go through with it.

"I made the final decision about half an hour after departure. I just changed the direction to 170 degrees and I was heading straight down to Moscow," he says.

Back in Helsinki, operators at air control began to worry. Rust was heading in the wrong direction and then vanished from their radar screens before they could make radio contact.

"I am here on a
peace mission

Mathias Rust
Red Square, May 1987

His first stop was in the Shetland Islands, then the Faroe Islands. He spent one night in each.

Next came the capital of Iceland, Reykjavik, then Bergen in Norway before he arrived on 25 May in the Finnish capital, Helsinki.

He spent several days there trying to decide if he really had the courage to go through with his plan. He had good reason to be nervous.

The USSR had the largest air defence system in the world. Less than five years earlier, a South Korean civilian airliner had been shot down after straying into Soviet air space, causing the death of all 269 passengers on board.

"Of course I was afraid to lose my life," Rust recalls.

"I was thinking I could use the aircraft to build an imaginary bridge between West and East to show that a lot of people in Europe wanted to improve relations between our worlds."

Many idealistic teenagers may have had similar fantasies of bringing about world peace by performing daring acts. The difference with Rust is that he actually went ahead with his plan.

On 13 May 1987 he told his parents he was going to tour northern Europe in a Cessna airplane, in order to clock up hours towards his professional pilot's licence.

A summit between the US and Soviet presidents in Reykjavik had ended in a stalemate, and the teenager who had a passion for politics felt he wanted to do something to make a difference.

"I thought every human on this planet is responsible for some progress and I was looking for an opportunity to take my share in it," he says.

Rust already had a pilot's licence and had clocked up 50 hours in the air when it occurred to him to put his skill to use.

Mathias Rust: German teenager who flew to Red Square

By Chloe Hadjimatheou
BBC World Service
7 December 2012



In 1987 a West German teenager shocked the world, by flying through Soviet air defences to land a Cessna aeroplane in Red Square. He was jailed for more than a year - but a quarter of a century later, he has no regrets.

Exactly 25 years ago, the USSR Foreign Ministry announced that it had rejected an appeal by a German teenager against his prison sentence.

Mathias Rust, just 19, had single-handedly flown more than 500 miles (750km) through every Soviet defensive shield in a single-engine plane to land at the gates of the Kremlin.

The idea had come to him a year earlier while he was watching TV at his parents' home where he lived in Hamburg, West Germany.

Dihang gipangutana sa GMA News kon ang iyang anak nagsunod na ba sa iyang mga tambag, nibuto ang kasuko sa inahan batok sa mga pastor nga nagpalibot kang Manny.

“Makinig man. May sikreto na itong anak ko kasi makulit ang mga pastor talaga sa kanya. Hindi ako matakot kahit sino pa sila, harapin ko sila.

Magulo ang mga pastor dito sa bahay ni Manny. Magulo. Bakit kunin niya ang anak ko eh tahimik siya? Yan ang nakapagchampion sa anak ko, ang dati niyang relihiyon na pinanggalingan niya,” dugang sa inahan.

Si Dionisia nipabuhagay sa iyang pagsupak bahin sa pagbiya ni Manny sa pagka Romano Katoliko.

Even the athlete-turned-politician's mother scolded him on public television for no longer wearing the rosary as he used to while entering the boxing ring.

As for Lucas, he said whatever God's message is in Pacquiao's loss is subject to personal interpretation.

Manny himself, he said, should discern its meaning.

"What I can say for my part is that if Manny has been receiving all the blessing when he was devoted to the Catholic faith, why did he not keep it?" Lucas said.

http://ph.news.yahoo.com/

"If you are devoted to something and you suddenly let go of that devotion, it entails a shaking of the psyche," Lucas said.

"It was a lucky punch, so they claim, still, there must have been something amiss in Manny which disabled him from dodging it," the priest added.

This, as he noted that Manny "does not do what he used to do," including openly wearing a rosary right before fights, and the breaking of such habit coincided with a "losing streak."

The same observation has been espoused by sports commentators and netizens hours after Pacquiao bowed down to Marquez Sunday.

Retired Lingayen Archbishop Oscar Cruz concurred, adding in a separate phone interview that although he respects "the pious thoughts, it is very difficult to validate such assertions."

He meanwhile urged the Filipino public to "respect Manny's beliefs."

"Although he is a born-again Christian, I have been told that he does not have any vice at hindi nagsusugal kaya mabuhay siya (and does not gamble so good for him)," Cruz said.

Lucas did not discount the possibility, however, that Manny's abandonment of his devotion to the rosary and other doctrines of the Catholic faith may have impacted the boxing legend's performance.

CBCP: Pacquiao defeat not 'God's vengeance'

Manny Pacquiao's defeat to Juan Manuel Marquez may have been partly caused by his change in religious beliefs, but the knockout was "self-inflicted" and not an act of a "vengeful God," an official of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines said.

"God himself does not inflict pain on anybody. Whatever pain we encounter is the effect of the evil in us," said Francis Lucas, executive secretary of CBCP's Episcopal Commission on Social Communications and Mass Media.

"Our God is not a vengeful God but a God of love," he told Yahoo! Southeast Asia in a phone interview.

hey, he's simply not up to it in this particular fight.  sometimes, the runner stumbles.

Even more dramatic than fiction, this Hubble image captures the chaotic activity atop a three-light-year-tall pillar of gas and dust that is being eaten away by the brilliant light from nearby bright stars.

3 light years!  make that 9,500,000,000,000 kilometers (1 light year) x 3, or twenty-eight trillion, five hundred billion kilometers!  (is that correct, engineer pikoy and doc lorenz?)  i shudder at the height and my own insignificance.

This craggy fantasy mountaintop enshrouded by wispy clouds looks like a bizarre landscape from Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" or a Dr. Seuss book, depending on your imagination. Even more dramatic than fiction, this Hubble image captures the chaotic activity atop a three-light-year-tall pillar of gas and dust that is being eaten away by the brilliant light from nearby bright stars. The pillar is also being assaulted from within, as infant stars buried inside it fire off jets of gas that can be seen streaming from towering peaks. Credit: NASA, ESA, and M.

i think what was slammed was the "electioneering" by his companions, with relief goods having their names and signatures?  as for the guy, well, yes, he "won" with what he did.  besides, he isn't running anymore, and 2016 is a long way off if ever he would think of going the way of gma.
