Hair today, oil boom tomorrow
WASHINGTON
“People from France, England, Spain, Brazil, Australia, all over Canada and the United States have signed up,” said Ms Lisa Gautier, co-founder of the Matter of Trust charity which is coordinating the collection of hair, fur and tights for the oil slick.
“There are 370,000 hair salons sending hair, 100,000 pet groomers, alpaca and sheep farmers, and the other day we had a huge group of transvestites who donated their very long nylons,” she said.
Matter of Trust was getting some 204,000kg of hair or fur coming in every day as of Friday. The US Army Corps of Engineers moved hair-based boom production up a notch when it devised a way to make a mile of boom a day with the hair and fur, Ms Gautier said. The hair- and fur-filled booms will be laid on beaches.
Hair and fur will typically soak up around four to six times their weight in oil.
But it’s not as good as industrial booms, which are filled with synthetic microfibres that can mop up 15 times their weight in oil.
Meanwhile, a novel attempt to use a 100-tonne steel-and-concrete box to cover the gushing oil well was aborted after ice crystals encased it. The setback left the mission to cap the ruptured well in doubt.

MANILA
Philippines yesterday as tensions flared
ahead of today’s national elections, which
are expected to see favourite Benigno Aquino
win the presidency in a landslide.
The build-up to the elections has been
typically tumultuous for one of Asia’s most
free-wheeling democracies, with dozens of
people killed, ferocious mudslinging and
dark rumours of illegal power grabs.
Five people were shot dead yesterday
in two remote parts of the country involving
gunmen loyal to local candidates, while
communist guerrillas also destroyed five vote
counting machines, the authorities said.
But the military and police, which have
deployed tens of thousands of personnel
to protect polling stations, insisted today’s
elections were expected to proceed without
major unrest.
Despite scattered violence and a rush
to fix a computer glitch, officials said the
Philippines’ first automated presidential
and local elections this week will be a successful
test of its fragile democracy.
Mr Aquino, the son of revered pro-democracy
icons, has topped pre-election surveys
in the nine-way race for the presidency.
His rise reflects the longing to fill a moral
vacuum in a country exasperated by decades
of corruption, poverty and violence. Mr Aquino’s
closest rivals include ousted President
Joseph Estrada and Senator Manuel Villar, the
country’s wealthiest politician.
Yesterday, thousands of workers delivered
optical counting machines to 98 per
cent of about 76,300 precincts across the
South-east Asian archipelago, Elections
Commissioner Rene Sarmiento said.
Reconfigured memory cards for the
machines have been delivered to regional
hubs after the defect prompted a massive
recall last week.
Late delivery and final testing may
delay vote counting in some far-flung areas,
the Election Commission said. In the worst
scenario, about a million Filipinos will be
able to vote but their ballots will not be
counted until the new cards arrive in those
areas, the poll body said.
About 50 million Filipinos will vote to
elect a new President, Vice-President and
officials to fill nearly 18,000 national and
local posts.

Death penalty, a trade-off
If we say, we’ll let you go, what is the signal we’re sending? We’re sending a signal to all the drug barons out there, just make sure you choose a victim who’s young, or who’s preferably a mother of a young child and use them as the people to carry the drugs into Singapore. And then there can be a lot of sympathy generated if they do get caught. This poor lady, she’s a mother of three young children, she only did it because she had to save her children.
Or this young boy, he didn’t know what he was doing. Then you will get 10 more. You will get a whole unstoppable stream of such people coming through.

— The mandatory death penalty for serious drug offences here is a “trade-off” the Government makes to protect “thousands of lives” that may be ruined if drugs were freely available, Law Minister and Second Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam said yesterday.pharoah88 ( Date: 10-May-2010 11:06) Posted:

I simply keep up my habit of selling at the juicy meaty delicious rallies...
And I keep doing it...
My R-R ratio of loss trades to win trades is 1:2...
Which means my wins are always twice the amount of losses...
Thus, ensuring net profits in the long haul...
And this bear market is making me pleased with the beast...
