Witness: Conrad Murray Stopped CPR To Hide Drugs
According to testimony discovered by the Associated Press, Dr. Conrad Murray stopped CPR on a dying Michael Jackson in order to hide evidence of drugs. Jackson logistics director Alberto Alvarez told police that Murray had him remove an IV bag and several vials of drugs from Jackson’s bedroom before allowing him to call paramedics. Murray, who had been performing CPR with one hand before cleaning the room, also allegedly told Alvarez and driver Faheem Muhammad that he had never attempted the resuscitation method before. After traveling with Jackson’s body to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, Michael Amir Williams, Jackson’s personal assistant, says Murray asked to be brought back to the house to remove items, and left the building through a side door when they refused to help. Murray was charged with involuntary manslaughter last month.
Murray’s lawyer Ed Chernoff, denied the charges, saying Murray had performed CPR numerous times and noting Alvarez failed to bring up the drugs at his first police interview (Murray showed the missing chemicals—hidden in a closet at Jackson’s—to police after questioning). Since Murray is legally qualified to administer Propofol, the anesthetic believed to have killed Michael Jackson, the trial against the doctor hinges on whether Murray was negligent in his administration of the drug, and his treatment of Jackson’s “bad reaction.” Kudos to theFabLife & Getty Images.
Have you tried Balut?
"Balut seems to be on every "strange food" list, usually at the top, and for good reason. Though no longer wriggling on the plate like the live octopus in Korea, the fertilized duck or chicken egg with a nearly-developed embryo that is boiled and eaten in the shell is easily one of the strangest foods in the world. Balut is very common in the Philippines, Cambodia and Vietnam and usually sold by street vendors. It is said balut tastes like egg and duck (or chicken), which is essentially what it is. It is surprising to many that a food that appears so bizarre—often the with the bird's features clearly developed--can taste so banal. In the end, apparently everything does indeed, just taste like chicken." Kudos to nuffy.net.
PSP Tilt FX
"We all lean when playing racing games and sit up in our seats when jumping in action games, but so far most PSP games have stoutly ignored all that nonsense. The TiltFX from Codejunkies might finally make those uppity consoles a little more responsive with a "G Sensor" -- a three-axis MEMS gyro that clips onto the lower-left of a PSP 1000, 2000, or 3000-series console. (Sorry, Goers, left out again.) Once plugged in you can simply tilt the console in the direction you want your character to go, something that we could definitely see enhancing the experience of games like Archer McLean's Mercury or or Loco Roco. And, for just £14.99/$19.99, it's certainly a better value than some other PSP accessories we've sampled in the past." Kudos to Engadget & CodeJunkies.
