Why Dick for President?

I’ll begin this piece with some sort of disclaimer: I am not and have never been a fan of Dick Gordon. In fact, I had issues against him—the WOW Philippines campaign which I found to be so, uhm, baduy to say the least; the giant Lapu-Lapu statue he had erected in Luneta; his horrible temper and propensity to curse; his seeming use of the PNRC to further his interests—but after hearing his arguments during the Congressional hearing on the declaration of Martial Law in Maguindanao and after watching him in subsequent televised forums, I was converted: the man talked sense and made sense.

Pilipinas got Talent (PowerPuff Corn)

The duo took everyone by surprise. They were awesome.

Their audition piece sounded a little like Through The Fire and it caused quite a stir. It was the disappointment to some that it turned out to be the Tropical Depression hit Bilog Na Naman Ang Buwan. (rock on, Papa Dom!!)

You can tell that The Powerpuff Corn are real musicians. The long haired vocalist had an amazing voice. He sounded and looked like Jay from rock band Kamikazee, only better. His voice was perfect for a rockstar.

The judges even asked for an encore from them and they didn't disappoint. They performed Don't Let Me Down by The Beatles.


Here are a few Powerpuff Corn videos:

How Dinosaurs Came to Rule the Earth

More than 200 million years ago, as North Africa was ripping away from North America, opening up the Atlantic Ocean, hot lava poured out from Earth's surface. The lava, enough to more than cover the United States, created inhospitable conditions for most life ... except the dinosaurs.

And new geologic discoveries suggest this climate catastrophe was the ticket for the dinosaur's rise to rule.

At that time, about half of all species on Earth died out in what is called the end-Triassic extinction. Scientists have suggested massive volcanic eruptions could be to blame, spewing out lava and greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide that would have totally changed the climate.

The new research, detailed this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, makes a firm case for volcanoes as the culprit but also pieces together other evidence for how the volcanic scenario led to dinosaurs dominating the landscape.

Gordon vs Aquino: On Mindanao

What’s in it for Mindanao: Aquino vs Gordon on Mindanao

I was tagged on FB recently and invited to a Mindanawons for Noynoy Movement. True enough, I barely browsed through the comment, and lo, the winnability virus keeps on rearing its ugly head.

Here’s a typical comment -- “The problem is going for Gordon -Bayani might split the votes then Villar will win. As much as I want Gordon to win, I dont want Villar to win. This is my dillema.” . For the AP community, the answer would have been be a no-brainer -- ability TRUMPS winnability.

Moving beyond the sound bites, it would be best to lay down what both have to say on Mindanao, compare their positions, and come to a conclusion. You be the judge, who has more substance, who has a deeper grasp of the issues, who has actually done something for Mindanao.

Having been born and raised in Southern Mindanao, anything “Mindanao” is a major concern for me.

Recollections -- Pre-Asian Financial Crisis

I don’t recall Noynoy visiting Mindanao prior to the 2010 presidential campaign.

Morales wants 4th bout vs Pacquiao

MANILA, Philippines – Returning Mexican champion Erik Morales, the last fighter who defeated pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao, is setting his sights on his erstwhile rival for a possible fourth clash with the 7-division world champion.

“Defeating Pacquaio is my greatest accomplishment in the ring. I would love another chance at Pacquiao,” Morales said in a media event as quoted by Gareth A. Davies of The Telegraph.
“El Terible” Morales, 33, is coming out of retirement after leaving the sport in 2007.
He will make his comeback on March 27 in Monterrey, Mexico where he will face World Boxing Association (WBA) lightweight champion Jose “Jicaras” Alfaro of Nicaragua.
“Alfaro is a great young fighter and a former world champion. A wicked puncher who will bring his best. He has a big heart and always gives fans everything he has,” Morales said of his 26-year-old opponent.

The world's only immortal animal

The turritopsis nutricula species of jellyfish may be the only animal in the world to have truly discovered the fountain of youth.

Since it is capable of cycling from a mature adult stage to an immature polyp stage and back again, there may be no natural limit to its life span. Scientists say the hydrozoan jellyfish is the only known animal that can repeatedly turn back the hands of time and revert to its polyp state (its first stage of life).

The key lies in a process called transdifferentiation, where one type of cell is transformed into another type of cell. Some animals can undergo limited transdifferentiation and regenerate organs, such as salamanders, which can regrow limbs. Turritopsi nutricula, on the other hand, can regenerate its entire body over and over again. Researchers are studying the jellyfish to discover how it is able to reverse its aging process.

Because they are able to bypass death, the number of individuals is spiking. They're now found in oceans around the globe rather than just in their native Caribbean waters. "We are looking at a worldwide silent invasion," says Dr. Maria Miglietta of the Smithsonian Tropical Marine Institute.

Pacquiao says motivated by 50,000 fans in Cowboys Stadium

MANILA, Philippines – It was the first time for defending World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao to fight in a massive venue on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Fighting at the $1.2-billion Cowboys Stadium proved to be fruitful for Pacquiao as he was able to defend his title against Joshua Clottey of Ghana via unanimous decision with the scores 120-108, 119-109 and 119-109.

“Grabe dahil alam mo na-surprise ako sa tibay ni Joshua Clottey,” Pacquiao told ABS-CBN Correspondent Dyan Castillejo.

“Pero noong pagpasok ko pa lang sa ring, nakita ko ang mga fans lalo akong naganahan. Dahil sabi ko first time in my life, in my boxing career, na ako ang main event na ganito karami ang mga tao. I have to show my best na mapasaya ko iyong mga tao,” he said of the more than 50,000 spectators at the Cowboys Stadium.

Pacquiao at post-fight party

Pacman has gigantic designs for Saturday night — after his fight against Joshua Clottey.

Pacquiao will be the guest of honor at his after-fight party, and designs to provide the entertainment. The budding singer will take the stage and entertain fans with his voice, after the welterweight champion uses his fists.

That is a nice indication of how confident they is about beating Clottey.

Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach, is predicting his man will win in the late rounds. He is not predicting a knockout because Clottey has never been KO’d.

KAPIDAMU Band auditions sa Pilipinas Got Talent

Nagustuhan namin ang auditions ng KAPIDAMU Band sa Pilipinas Got Talent. The folksy boy band has the “ingredients” to make it big in Pinoy music. The group sang their very own composition — at may dating ito in fairness. Catchy music, lyrics that make sense; and the lead vocalist — 10-year-old from Atimonan, Quezon, is the kid version of an Aegis Band singer. Ang taas ng boses at pang-rocker talaga. Ganda

Examiner Bio Nintendo video game sells for over $41,000

It seems that selling old video games on auction sites like eBay or uBid is the fastest way to make money in this shaky and unstable economy. When eBay user lace_thongs recently sold an old Nintendo system along with rare game Stadium Events only a few weeks ago and grossed $13,000, many money-hungry sellers followed suit - hoping to profit from their old vintage games or systems.

On February 26, an eBay auction listing the Nintendo game Stadium Events ended. The seller, vals2girlz, listed the auction on February 21. The auction included a brand new and sealed edition of the 1987 game, which is one of the top 20 rarest and most hard to find games in the world.

After a bidding war that ended with a whopping 115 bids, the game sold for an impressive $41,300. Stadium Events, which was sold for the price of $29.99 23 years ago, was purchased for nearly 1377 times its worth.

It's official: An asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs

LONDON (Reuters) – A giant asteroid smashing into Earth is the only plausible explanation for the extinction of the dinosaurs, a global scientific team said on Thursday, hoping to settle a row that has divided experts for decades.

A panel of 41 scientists from across the world reviewed 20 years' worth of research to try to confirm the cause of the so-called Cretaceous-Tertiary (KT) extinction, which created a "hellish environment" around 65 million years ago and wiped out more than half of all species on the planet.
