MANILA -- Proving anew Pope Benedict XVI's confidence with the newest Filipino cardinal, Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle has now been appointed to two vital councils in the Vatican.

According to a report by CBCP News, the Pope named Tagle as a member of the presiding committee of the Pontifical Council for the Family and the Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant Peoples.

"Pope Benedict XVI has given Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle new assignments to help him govern the universal church," noted the official news agency of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP).

However, this would not mean that Tagle will be uprooted from Manila as he will be keeping his main job.

As member of the two Rome-based offices, Tagle may attend the Council's important meetings and receive regular correspondence from Rome on matters that need consensus.

It was only back in November when Tagle officially became a cardinal and introduced as a member of the College of Cardinals. -- http://www.sunstar.com.ph/

The police official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with government rules, said police had examined security cameras around the embassy and had identified two people who could have been the suicide bomber.

The embassy building is heavily protected. It is near an area where several other embassies are located, including that of Germany and France. Police sealed off the area and journalists were being kept away.

The phones were not being answered at the embassy. In a statement, it thanked Turkey for "its solidarity and outrage over the incident."

There was no claim of responsibility, but Kurdish rebels and Islamic militants are active in Turkey. Kurdish rebels, who are fighting for autonomy in the Kurdish-dominated southeast, have dramatically stepped up attacks in Turkey over the last year.

As well, homegrown Islamic militants tied to al-Qaida have carried out suicide bombings in Istanbul. In a 2003 attack on the British consulate, a suspected Islamic militant rammed an explosive-laden pickup truck into the main gate, killing 58, including the British consul-general.

In 2008, an attack blamed on al-Qaida-affiliated militants outside the U.S. Consulate in Istanbul left three assailants and three policemen dead.

Turkey has become a harsh critic of the regime in Syria, where a vicious civil war has left at least 60,000 people dead. The first of six Patriot missile batteries being deployed to Turkey to protect against attack from Syria was declared operational and placed under NATO command on Saturday and others were expected to be operational in the coming days.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) â€" A suspected suicide bomber detonated an explosive device at the entrance of the U.S. Embassy in the Turkish capital on Friday, killing himself and one other person, officials said.

U.S. Ambassador Francis Ricciardione told reporters that a guard at the gate was killed in the 1:15 p.m. blast, and a Turkish citizen was wounded.

The bomb appeared to have exploded inside the security checkpoint at the side entrance of the embassy, but did not do damage inside the embassy itself. Footage showed that the door had been blown off its hinges and debris littered the ground and across the road. An Associated Press journalist saw a body in the street in front of an embassy side entrance.

Police swarmed the area and several ambulances were dispatched. An AP journalist saw one woman who appeared to be seriously injured being carried into an ambulance.

Michael Malloy was a homeless alcoholic who lived in New York City during the 1920sâ€"1930s. He had no known family and nothing would be thought of his sudden demise, leading five men to come up with a cunning plan. The men, dubbed The Murder Trust conspired to take out a life insurance policy on Malloy. They then planned to kill him in order to collect the money. Their method of murder was inspired by Malloy’s alcoholism: let him drink himself to death.

One of the involved men owned a speakeasy, so he gave Michael unlimited credit to drink to his heart’s desire, hoping he would quickly die of his indulgences. But Malloy continued to pound drinks back for the entire working day, every day. Noticing that Malloy hadn’t yet succumbed to his own alcoholism, the Trust began to add secret ingredients to his beverages. First, they added antifreeze, which Malloy didn’t even notice. Next they tried turpentine, horse liniment, and rat poison, all of which failed to affect Malloy.

Deciding on another final solution for their pesky problem, they fed Michael oysters soaked in methanol. Then came sandwiches full of spoiled sardines and rat poison, with just a hint of carpet tacks. After that failed miserably, the Trust threw creativity out the window and simply waited for Malloy to pass out, then dragged his unconscious body into the -14 °F (-26 °C) night and tossed him in a snow bank. They then dumped 5 gallons (19 liters) of snow on his bare chest and left him to die.

Certain that Malloy was dead, the Trust were astonished when he strolled in the next morning, looking no worse for wear. At this point the Trust was running out of patience and ideas, so one member bit the bullet and ran Malloy over with his taxi, which was traveling at about 45 mph (72 kmh). This put him in the hospital with broken bones for three weeks, during which time the Trust attempted to collect the insurance money on him, but failed.

Michael eventually reappeared in the bar for his routine drink, so the Trust initiated their last ditch effort: they allowed him to pass out again, dragged him to the room of one of the Trust members, then inserted a hose in his mouth that was connected to a gas jet, killing Michael within minutes. For their trouble, they earned about $61,000 by today’s standards and a trip to the electric chair for all but one of the gang after they were unable to keep quiet and started talking about “Mike the Durable” around other speakeasies. -- http://listverse.com/

Nicolas Cage, Best Actor, "Leaving Las Vegas" (1995)

If there's one thing the Academy loves more than a drunk character, it's a character that dies at the end. Nicolas Cage was able to kill two birds with two stone in "Leaving Las Vegas," portraying an inebriated screenwriter who never overcomes his addiction, instead succumbing to it. "You can never, never ask me to stop drinking," he tells his companion. And he doesn't.

Elizabeth Taylor, Best Actress, "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" (1966)

During their marriages (they got hitched two times), Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton became notorious for their boozy battles off screen. When they decided to perform the same antics on screen as warring spouses George and Martha in Mike Nichols' adaptation of Edward Albee's Broadway play "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf," gossipmeisters were flabbergasted -- but fascinated too. The result: one of the greatest films in Hollywood history. Taylor won the Oscar for Best Actress, but Burton lost lead actor to Paul Scofield ("A Man for All Seasons"). Taylor and Burton divorced for the last time in 1974. In 1984, Burton went to his grave as Oscar's biggest loser (seven defeats), probably because academy members were fed up with his real-life drunken antics.

John Wayne, Best Actor, "True Grit" (1969)

A hard-drinking, hard-nosed U.S. Marshal teams up with a teenage tomboy (Kim Darby) to find her father's killer. "I hope you don't think I'm going to keep you in whiskey!" she harrumphs at the outset of their trek. He replies, "I don't buy that, I confiscate it. And a touch of it wouldn't do you any harm against the night air! … It's the real article. Genuine, double-rectified bust head. Aged in the keg."

Jessica Lange, Best Actress, "Blue Sky" (1994)

Jessica Lange has won two Oscars for portraying women with a drinking problem. As a daytime-television star in "Tootsie" (1982), Lange enjoyed one glass of wine too many. As an Army wife in "Blue Sky," Lange's alcoholism causes problems for her nuclear scientist husband (Tommy Lee Jones).

Jeff Bridges, Best Actor, "Crazy Heart" (2009)

It took Jeff Bridges four unsuccessful bids before he finally won for portraying one of the academy's favorite roles: the alcoholic country-music singer. Like Robert Duvall in "Tender Mercies" (1983) before him, Bridges took home the gold by strumming a guitar and hitting the bottle with equal veracity.

Frank Sinatra, Best Supporting Actor, "From Here to Eternity" (1953)

Old Blue Eyes portrayed drunken Pvt. Angelo Maggio in Oscar's Best Picture champ "From Here to Eternity." When told that drinking is a weakness, Maggio responds, "I don't like weakness … but I like to drink!"

Maggie Smith, Best Supporting Actress, "California Suite" (1978)

Maggie Smith won her second Oscar for playing an uppity British actress who loses an Academy Award. Afterwards, she's so furious that she gets stinking drunk. As Smith staggers around her hotel room in Beverly Hills searching for more booze, her snide, bisexual husband (Michael Caine) screams, "You drank everything in this state! Try Nevada!"

Lee Marvin, Best Actor, "Cat Ballou" (1965)

"I smell a water hole," proclaims Lee Marvin when he sniffs the faint smell of liquor in "Cat Ballou," one of the few comedic roles to win Best Actor. In a surprise victory, Marvin beat out heavyweight dramatic contenders Rod Steiger ("The Pawnbroker"), Richard Burton ("The Spy Who Came in From the Cold"), Laurence Olivier, ("Othello") and Oskar Werner ("Ship of Fools").

Gig Young, Best Supporting Actor, "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" (1969)

A notorious lush in real life, Gig Young was often cast in drunk roles. In "They Shoot Horses, Don't They," Young portrays the exploitative master of ceremonies at a Depression-era dance marathon. Young's drinking eventually grew so out of control that he was unable to find work and, in a final act of desperation, the 64-year-old star shot his new, 21-year-old wife and then turned the gun on himself.

James Coburn, Best Supporting Actor, "Affliction" (1998)

Maybe it shouldn't have been so surprising that James Coburn pulled off an upset for "Affliction" â€" he portrays an alcoholic, abusive father who still strikes fear in the heart of his adult son (Nick Nolte). In fact, it's more surprising that Nolte's nomination for Best Actor that year didn't result in a win, since he too portrays a man hooked on the bottle.

Claire Trevor, Best Supporting Actress, "Key Largo" (1948)

As a washed-up, alcoholic nightclub singer, Trevor is desperate for a drink, but a thug (Edward G. Robinson) forces her to sing a torch song, "Moanin' Low," first. Humiliated, she croons it out painfully, then pleads, "Give me that drink now, Johnny!" "No," he fumes. "But you promised!" she cries. "So what?" "You said that …" "But you were rotten," he growls. She bursts into tears and collapses onto a chair.

James Dunn, Best Supporting Actor, "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" (1945)

1945 could be dubbed The Year of the Drunk at the Oscars. The same year that "The Lost Weekend" took home Best Picture, Director, Actor, and Screenplay, James Dunn won Best Supporting Actor for his role as a lovable, slap-happy, alcoholic family man who can't keep a job.

Ray Milland, Best Actor, "The Lost Weekend" (1945)

Ray Milland plays Don Birnam, an abrasive writer on a four-day bender in Billy Wilder's Best Picture Oscar winner. The film proved to be risque material for 1945. In fact, Paramount Pictures was nervous about releasing the film, fearful that audiences would stay away in droves. Milland himself was advised not to take the role, which was often unsympathetic and sometimes poetic.

Humphrey Bogart, Best Actor, "The African Queen" (1951)

In 1951, all eyes were on Marlon Brando to win Best Actor for his breakthrough performance in "A Streetcar Named Desire," but he happened to be up against an overdue Hollywood veteran in a bawdy drunk role. In a surprise victory, Humphrey Bogart reaped Oscar gold as an alcoholic riverboat captain in "The African Queen."

By Mike Krumboltz | The Sideshow â€" 5 hrs ago


Just because something's gross doesn't mean it isn't valuable. Case in point: Whale vomit. A man taking his dog for a walk on the beach came across a pile of (maybe! hopefully!) whale regurgitation. Now he could stand to make more than $50,000 from the find.

Who would pay tens of thousands of dollars for whale excrement? The perfume industry, of course. The substance, while foul smelling when it first hits land, becomes much more pleasant as it dries in the sunâ€"and can be used to help prolong the scent of perfume.

According to the BBC, Ken Wilman's dog began sniffing the substance (known as ambergris) while walking on Morecambe beach in England. Wilman went to investigate, picked up the stone-like object, gave it a whiff and then dropped it like a bad habit. Wilman told the BBC: "When I picked it up and smelled it, I put it back down again and I thought 'urgh.'"

Wilman left the beach, but something about his stinky discovery stayed in his mind. He did a little research at home and figured out that it was likely ambergris. He then went back to the beach and retrieved the seven-pound object. A French dealer has already offered more than $50,000.

While these sorts of finds are rare, they do occur. Last year, an 8-year-old boy found a one-pound piece of ambergris that was expected to bring in up to $63,000. And in 2006, a man in South Australia found a whopping 32.5-pound piece of ambergris. Estimated value: $300,000.

If only cat hairballs had the same market value.

BDSM


BDSM represents a continuum of practices and expressions, both erotic and non-erotic, involving restraint, sensory stimulation, role-playing, and a variety of interpersonal dynamics. Given the wide range of practices, some of which may be engaged in by people who don't consider themselves as practicing BDSM, inclusion in the BDSM community and/or subculture is usually dependent on self-identification and shared experience. Interest in BDSM can range from one-time experimentation to a lifestyle, and some debate has begun over whether a BDSM or kink sexual identity also constitutes a form of sexual orientation.

The term BDSM is believed to have been coined as a compound initialism in the 1990s to combine communities and practices that had a significant amount of crossover â€" bondage and discipline (B&D or B/D), dominance and submission (D&S or D/s), and sadomasochism or sadism and masochism (S&M or S/M). BDSM is currently frequently used as a catch-all phrase to includes a wide range of activities, forms of interpersonal relationships, and distinct subcultures which may or may not fit well into the original three intended categories. With an ethos of "your kink is OK!" many BDSM communities welcome anyone with a non-normative streak who identifies with the community; this may include cross-dressers, extreme body mod enthusiasts, animal players, latex or rubber aficionados, and others.

Although it's increasingly common for couples, particularly younger couples, to have "power neutral" relationships and/or play styles, activities and relationships within a BDSM context are often characterized by the participants' taking on complementary, but unequal roles; thus, the idea of informed consent of both the partners becomes essential. Typically participants who are active â€" applying the activity â€" are known as tops, those who exercise control over others are commonly known as dominants, and those who inflict pain are known as sadists. These are often the same person, and the terms are sometimes used interchangeably. Similarly, those participants who are recipients of the activities are typically known as bottoms, those who are controlled by their partners as submissives, and those who receive pain as masochists; again, these are frequently the same person and the terms are sometimes used interchangeably. Individuals who alternate between top/dominant and bottom/submissive roles â€" whether from relationship to relationship or within a given relationship â€" are known as switches, though the term is occasionally seen as derogatory or unnuanced and is rejected by many who might simplistically fit the definition. Precise definition of roles and self-identification is a common subject of debate, reflection, and discussion within the community. --Wiki

Staggering Toll

Marra and his colleagues are looking at human-related causes for bird and wildlife deaths in the country, from windmills and glass windows to pesticides.

But first, Marra and his team looked at the impact of the feline population, one of the biggest putative causes of bird demise in the country.

While past studies had used critter cams or owner reports to estimate the number of birds killed by cats, those studies were usually small and not applicable to the entire country, Marra told LiveScience.

For this broader analysis, the team first looked at all prior studies on bird deaths and estimated that around 84 million owned-cats live in the country, many of which are allowed outdoors.

"A lot of these cats may go outside and go to 10 different houses, but they go back to their house and cuddle up on Mr. Smith's lap at night," Marra said.

Based on an analysis of past studies, the researchers estimated that each of those felines killed between four and 18 birds a year, and between eight and 21 small mammals per year. -- http://news.discovery.com/

Cats Kill Billions of Animals a Year
Jan 29, 2013 12:00 PM ET // by Tia Ghose, LiveScience





Cats kill billions of birds every year and even more tiny rodents and other mammals in the United States, a new study finds.

According to the research, published today (Jan. 29) in the journal Nature Communications, cats kill between 1.4 billion and 3.7 billion birds and between 6.9 billion and 20.7 billion small mammals, such as meadow voles and chipmunks.

Though it's hard to know exactly how many birds live in the United States, the staggering number of bird deaths may account for as much as 15 percent of the total bird population, said study co-author Pete Marra, an animal ecologist with the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute.

The phenomenon is called penis captivus in medical terms or vaginal lock in which a woman's vaginal muscles clamp around the penis during intercourse so firmly it causes the male to be 'locked' inside her.

Agoi, kon kini siya ang mo-lock, goodbye Philippines...

Can people get STUCK during sexual intercourse?


The condition of penis captivus has been reported in the literature for many years, although descriptions vary somewhat as to predisposing factors, anatomy, and physiologic mechanisms involved. The famous obstetrician Scanzoni felt that the vagina contracted and locked the penis in. (Scanzoni is probably most famous for his vitriolic attacks on Semmelweis after Semmelweis suggested that obstetricians wash their hands prior to examining a patient.) It was in 1872 that Hildebrandt first suggested that the mechanism consisted of a spasm of the levator ani muscle and spasm of the constrictor cunni muscles (bulbospongiosi). Hildebrandt also gave a case history from his gynecologic practice that was similar, although not an exact duplicate, to the case described by E.Y. Davis. In Hildebrandt's case the female had been suffering from vaginismus (spasm of the bulbospongiosi, preventing entrance of the penis) since her wedding night and was said to be a very nervous and excitable person. However, Hildebrandt stated that the couple freed themselves after their unfortunate experience with penis captivus and he had only the history that the woman had given to him.

The anatomy involved is well described by Lachman, who in a recent letter to JAMA appeared to accept the documentation of cases of penis captivus. He states that the pubococcygeus part of the levator ani is the most important muscle in this condition, although the bulbospongiosus and the urogenital diaphragm also contribute. Lachman feels that the contraction of the muscle tissue in the vagina contributes little to the condition. The mechanism is described as being a dilation of the inner two thirds of the vagina (caused by the elevation of the uterus into the false pelvis) and a constriction of the lower third by the muscles mentioned above. This then causes venous engorgement of the penis and the formation of a "lock and turned key" situation with the engorged penis being inside a dilated cavity yet being pulled against a narrowed orifice in the attempt to remove the organ from the vagina. The fact there is generalized muscle spasm during sexual intercourse has been well documented by Masters and Johnson. The theory that the perineal muscle spasm was the result of spread from other muscle spasms was probably first postulated by Hildebrandt in his article.

Most authors agree that the condition of penis captivus is found only in cases where the female has a prolonged history of vaginismus. When penis captivus occurs it is necessary for the spasm of vaginismus to begin after the act of penetration has been successfully completed. Supposedly the vaginismus has a psychologic etiology. It is this point of time relationship and the male reaction to the spasm that causes the authors' doubts as to the validity of penis captivus as a true entity. Vaginismus is, indeed, a well-known clinical entity, but in the original article that gave the name "vaginismus" to this condition of perineal muscle spasm the type of vaginismus described by Davis and Hildebrandt was not mentioned. The original cases of vaginismus all happened in women who had muscle spasm of severe degree at the first attempt at sexual intercourse. It is the senior author's personal opinion that it is highly improbable for spasm of the pubococcygeus and bulbospongiosus to be severe enough after penetration to cause penis captivus. We also feel that the normal male response to a contraction of this type would be relaxation of the penis, allowing withdrawal.

Astral Projection


Astral projection is the ability to spiritually separate from your body and travel vast distances with the mind alone. It differs from bilocation in that the second body is a spirit body. The concept of astral projection has been familiar for thousands of years, dating back to ancient China and other ancient cultures. A great deal of skepticism exists around this ability due to the fact that the only evidence is the word of the person claiming to be able to project. A study done by Dr. Charles Tart tentatively concluded that astral projection may have objective validity. For example, in a 1967 study, a subject was not able to discover a five digit number written down and placed face up in an adjoining room, but did provide some details of the activities of the technician monitoring the experiment. Tart summarizes, “Thus, there is some indication that ESP may have been involved with respect to the technician’s activities, but it is not at all conclusive.” -- http://listverse.com/

Postcognition


Postcognition is the opposite of precognition; it is the ability to see an event after it has occurred. This is probably the most widely used ability in modern days as many police forces invite psychics to assist them on difficult unsolved cases. This ability has been yet another topic of a Stephen King novel, the Dead Zone, in which the main character is able to see bad aspects of a person’s past from touching them or an object belonging to them. While there has often been some success with postcognitive visions in criminal investigations, it is still generally considered to be the result of hoax or fraud perpetrated by a person who has done research in to the crime, enabling them to give broad enough description to seem legitimate.

Bilocation


Bilocation is the alleged ability to be in two places at the same time. St Pio of Pietrelcina, the famous stigmatic, was said to have this ability. It is said to be a physical, rather than spiritual ability, which makes it different from astral projection. Friends of Aliester Crowley, the occultist, claimed that he had this ability, though in situations were he was meant to have bilocated, he was unaware of it. Although it is uncommon, bilocation is an ancient phenomenon. It is claimed to have been experienced, and even practiced by will, by mystics, ecstatics, saints, monks, holy persons, and magical adepts. This is also normally the explanation given for the tales of people appearing to loved ones just prior to their death.

Precognition


This is the ability to foresee events. It was precognition that the famous American Psychic Jeane Dixon. She is best known for allegedly predicting the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. In the May 13, 1956, issue of Parade Magazine she wrote that the 1960 presidential election would be “dominated by labor and won by a Democrat” who would then go on to “e assassinated or die in office though not necessarily in his first term.” She later admitted, “During the 1960 election, I saw Richard Nixon as the winner.” Nixon held her in such high regard that he ordered preparations for a terrorist attack she had predicted. She was also one of a number of psychics who gave advice to Nancy Reagan during the Reagan Administration.

Psychometry


Psychometry is the ability to “read” information from objects. For example, a psychometrist may hold a watch or wallet belonging to a person they do not know, and by concentrating on the object, garner information about the person’s past, present, or future. The concept of psychometry is a popular theme for stage act and Séance; with participants being asked to provide a personal object to be “read” by a medium or psychic. It was used as the basis for Johnny Smith’s visions in Stephen King’s 1979 novel The Dead Zone and its subsequent 2002 television adaption.

Pyrokinesis


Pyrokinesis is the ability to ignite or extinguish fires with the mind. In yet another book by Stephen King, Firestarter, the main character, a young girl, has this ability. There is no scientific evidence to suggest that this ability is real, though many people involved in the field of parapsychology believe it exists. There may be a connection between this alleged ability and the various reports of spontaneous human combustion.

Clairvoyance


Clairvoyance is the transfer of information without the use of the senses â€" it differs from telepathy in that there is no transfer of information from one person to another. Clairvoyants often say that the information comes from the spirit world. A related ability is called Clairaudience â€" which is the ability to internally hear information that is passed from the dead. A very famous clairaudient was Doris Stokes, a British spiritualist. Current thinking among proponents of clairvoyance posits that most people are born with clairvoyant abilities but then start to subliminate them as their childhood training compels them to adhere to acceptable social norms. Numerous institutes offer training courses that attempt to revive the clairvoyant abilities present in those early years.

Telepathy


Telepathy is the ability to communicate with others with the mind. Within the field of parapsychology this is considered to be a form of ESP. Most often telepathy occurs spontaneously in incidents of crisis where a relative or friend has been injured or killed in an accident. An individual is aware of the danger to the other person from a distance. Such information seems to come in different forms as in thought fragments, like something is wrong; in dreams, visions, hallucinations, mental images, in clairaudience, or in words that pop into the mind. Often such information causes the person, the receiver, to change is course of action, such as changing his travel plans or daily schedule, or to just call or contact the other person. Some incidents involve apparent telepathy between humans and animals.

Extra Sensory Perception


Extra Sensory Perception, or ESP, is the ability to gather information without the use of the 5 senses (hence it is also sometimes called sixth sense). ESP is often tested with a deck of 25 cards called Zener cards. Familiar to most people, these cards comprise a deck of 5 patterns, a circle, a square, a triangle, a set of squiggly lines, and a plus. Two people participate; one views the cards one by one, and the other attempts to “see” the card with the power of the mind. Again, there is a 1 in five chance that you will guess the card correctly, so it is not a particularly useful method of proof. Of course your odds improve with every card produced if you are told whether your guess was correct, as you can use card counting. The cards are also used in tests of telepathy when the viewer does not just record the shape on the card for verification, but attempts to “transmit” the shape to the other person. On average, most people guess right about 20% of the time.
