Why JubJub faces murder rap
(2010/3/11)
|
 An outraged community, stirred by the deaths of four teenage boys, beat a frantic path to the court gates in Protea, Soweto, yesterday. Seething residents and pupils shouted as they pelted the armoured van that carried Molemo Maarohanye, popularly known as JubJub, and Themba Tshabalala - the two men accused of killing the four boys during a road race on Monday.
"You give them bail, we kill them", "No bail for bloody JubJub", "Life sentence for bloody JubJub" and "First example. Celeb or no celeb, pay the price" were some of the posters they carried. Altmont Technical High School pupils spurred the angry crowd on as they rattled the court gates and sang "Awulethe uJubJub" (Bring JubJub) - an adaptation of President Jacob Zuma's controversial machinegun song.

Chile quake moves city more than 10 feet
(2010/3/11)
|
 The magnitude-8.8 earthquake that rocked the west coast of Chile last month was violent enough to move the city of Concepcion at least 10 feet to the west and the capital, Santiago, about 11 inches to the west-southwest, researchers said.
The quake also shifted other parts of South America, as far apart as the Falkland Islands and Fortaleza, Brazil.
The results were reached via global positioning satellite measurements taken before and after the February 27 quake by teams from The Ohio State University, the University of Hawaii, the University of Memphis and the California Institute of Technology, as well as agencies across South America.
NASA scientists have also credited the quake with shifting the Earth's axis enough to create shorter days. The change is negligible, but still worth noting: Each day should be 1.26 microseconds shorter, according to preliminary calculations. A microsecond is one-millionth of a second.

Strikes Looming After BA Peace Talks Fail
(2010/3/11)
|
British Airways is facing the prospect of crippling strikes by its cabin crew after talks aimed at resolving a bitter row over cost-cutting broke down.
Hopes of a breakthrough in the long-running dispute collapsed last night when Marathon talks ended without agreement.
Officials from Unite will meet today to discuss their next move, and are set to announce strike dates.
The union's 12,500 cabin crew members voted twice voted for industrial action, but a walkout over Christmas was halted after a successful legal challenge from BA.
The union has ruled out striking over Easter. However, a walkout could come as early as March 18.
The two sides met for talks under the chairmanship of TUCgeneral secretary Brendan Barber, who said no further meetings are planned.
Mr Barber said: "Both parties will be reflecting on the position and the TUC will be keeping in touch but at this stage no further negotiations are planned."
Unite said: "Management's offer went nowhere near addressing our members' concerns over crew numbers and service levels.
"Unite representatives will be meeting (today) to discuss the consequences of this breakdown. Should BA wish to make an improved offer, they have time to do so."
BA said it remained available for further negotiations but hopes of resurrecting talks were slim.

Daily Jokes
A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a Harley motorcycle when he spotted a well-known heart surgeon in his shop.
The surgeon was there, waiting for the service manager to come and take a look at his bike.
The mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey, Doc, can I ask you a question?"
The surgeon a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic working on the motorcycle. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, take valves out, fix 'em, put 'em back in, and when I finish, it works just like new. So how come I get such a small salary and you get the really big bucks, when you and I are doing basically the same work?"
The surgeon paused, smiled and leaned over, and whispered to the mechanic...
"Try doing it with the engine running."
