ET3.com, Inc., an open consortium looking to implement "space travel on Earth," has begun selling licenses for its Evacuated Tube Transport (ETT) system, which they claim could take travelers from Washington D.C. to Beijing in just 2 hours, without ever leaving the ground. The company and its advocates say this form of transport is safer, cheaper, greener and much, much faster than planes, trains and cars.
The systems works (in theory) by putting capsules in an evacuated tube, which accelerates up to 4,000 mph in roughly 3 minutes using linear electric motors. Friction is almost completely eliminated, as passive superconductors allow the capsule to "float" within the tubes. The energy used to accelerate the capsules is then recaptured as they slow down. Capsules could drastically range in size according to their contents.
ET3.com says that the system could be used for everything from cargo to human transport and could one day be networked like freeways, both above and below ground.
The consortium says that more than 3 dozen licenses to build the system have been purchased in China and 5 dozen have been purchased in 5 additional countries.

Taiwan woman kills herself while on Facebook
People's addiction to Facebook is something else, lol. FB has broken up relationships and have helped build relationships. I remember the story of a man who burnt down the house of his wife's/gf's FB friend just because they de-friended her on FB, lol. So many stories. Now this sad event.
According to TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — A woman in Taiwan killed herself by inhaling poisonous fumes while chatting with friends on Facebook and none of them alerted authorities, police said Tuesday.
Claire Lin killed herself on her 31st birthday, March 18, and family members who reported her suicide were unaware of the Facebook conversations that accompanied it, Taipei police officer Hsieh Ku-ming said.
Lin's last Facebook entries show her chatting with nine friends, alerting them to her gradual asphyxiation. One picture uploaded from her mobile phone depicts a charcoal barbecue burning next to two stuffed animals. Another shows the room filled with fumes.
One friend identified as Chung Hsin, told Lin, "Be calm, open the window, put out the charcoal fire, please, I beg you."
Lin replied: "The fumes are suffocating. They fill my eyes with tears. Don't write me anymore."
A few of the Facebook friends chatting with her tried to stop her and track her down on their own, but none called police. Chung did not respond to attempts to reach him for comment.
Lin's last words, in Chinese, were: "Too late. My room is filled with fumes. I just posted another picture. Even while I'm dying, I still want FB (Facebook). Must be FB poison. Haha."
Lin's Facebook postings indicated she was unhappy because her boyfriend was ignoring her, and had failed to return home to be with her on her birthday. Her boyfriend found her body the next morning and alerted her family, Hsieh said.
Hsieh said he regretted that none of her friends called police to help her during the 67-minute episode, but he added it may have been difficult for them to know her whereabouts because of the nature of social media.
"It could be true that it would be hard to track down a Facebook friend without her address or phone contact," Chen said.
Chai Ben-rei, a sociologist at Taiwan's Feng Chia University, said the incident reflected social isolation in the Internet age.
"People may have doubts about what they see on the Internet because of its virtual nature, and fail to take action on it," he said.
Spike Lee mistakenly links elderly couple to Trayvon Martin's Death
A twitter user- Marcus Davonnne Higgins stupidly tweeted a George Michael Zimmerman's address on twitter saying it was the address of George Zimmerman; the guy who killed Trayvon Martin.
Spike Lee saw this and retweeted it on his timeline without proper verification. Spike has about 250,000 followers on twitter so you can imagine the number of death threats this couple have received so far.
The elderly couple, David McClain, 72, and his wife, Elaine, 70, have found themselves in the center of the controversy. They told the Smoking Gun they're "afraid" due to the online linking of their address to Trayvon's killer. "We're keeping everything locked."
The McClains, who both work for the Seminole County school system, are now considering legal action. "Maybe we should get a lawyer and send a cease-and-desist letter to Spike Lee," Elaine said.
As of this morning, Lee has yet to remove the incorrect tweet or post a correction.
This Trayvon's case is getting out of hand. The Black Panther movement posted a reward for George Zimmerman a couple of days ago, he's wanted DEAD or ALIVE. The police need to do something ASAP!

Kris Jenner looks smashing!
So...people are complaining about what Kris Jenner wore some days ago, but I think she looked very cute. She's 56 yrs old so what? It doesn't mean she has to dress like a Granny. She's Kim Kardashian's Mom for heaven's sake. Her daughters are fashion crazy so of course she'll dress young!
I love the way she looks! I'm not a fan of the Kardashian's but I love Kris Jenner's look in this picture.

Swimsuit Model Simone Farrow arrested for Drug dealing
Simone Farrow who is a Bikini model, singer, reality show personal, three time FHM magazine's "sexiest women in the world." has been arrested and is currently under investigation for running an international drug ring. The bikini babe, who's a Penthouse Pet, was arrested in a cheap motel in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia where she reportedly had been on the run for a month.
Farrow, who's a native Australian, used at least 19 aliases in her operation. Upon arrest, she was charged with running a drug syndicate. Police claimed Farrow organized organized high-grade crystal methylamphetamine to be packed in parcels containing "bath salts," "pants" and other things. The meth was often piled up on desks in an elegant apartment just off famed Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood.
It was said that she packaged and sold drugs through FEDEX and designer clothes.
Simone Farrow who is also know as Simone Starr was initally arrested but released on bail. As soon as she made bail, she absconded to her country, Australia.
She is charged with importing "ice" into Australia and police allege she was the brains behind an "ongoing criminal enterprise" that involved at least seven people.
The Sunday Telegraph can reveal that one member of the alleged syndicate committed suicide in a Hollywood motel the day after being contacted by US authorities.
Police claim Farrow organised for high-grade crystal methylamphetamine, which was often piled up on desks in the apartment, to be mailed to NSW and Victoria hidden in parcels containing "bath products", "pants" or "small fountain kits".
Farrow allegedly developed a method of hiding the drugs inside the bath products, court documents said.
Buyers sent cash to Farrow through the post or made deposits at National Australia Bank branches into her bank account, the court heard.
More than $580,000 was put into her account between February 2009 and October 2010, court documents said.
Surry Hills man Mark Andrew Bolton, with whom Farrow formed such a close relationship that she called him "Dad", told police he paid the model more than $200,000 for drugs, court documents said.
Shit like this is usually caused by greed cos why would someone with a promising future mess it up by dealing with drugs?? Anya uku! Greed!!
The only reason I've done this is because someone was trying to murder me," Farrow told Australia's Sunday Telegraph. "I've been in ... relationships with numerous underworld figures or whatever you want to call them and I feel that maybe they feel threatened by my situation. I wasn't trying to flee the country at all; I was trying to protect myself from being killed or harmed."
Farrow was seen dressed in a white tracksuit and hoodie. She reportedly had tears in her eyes and hung her head down as she was escorted away, according to the Telegraph.
"It's either a person or an organization," she said. "I will bring [details] to light during the next couple of weeks."

Police Chief who handled Trayvon Martin's case steps down
SANFORD, Fla. - The embattled police chief overseeing the Trayvon Martin investigation said Thursday he will "temporarily remove" himself from his job amid mounting criticism and pressure to charge a Neighborhood Watch leader with killing the teenager.
Bill Lee said he stands by his department's initial investigation but that he is stepping aside to avoid being a distraction. The case has been drawing widespread national coverage amid claims that Trayvon, who is black, was a victim of racial stereotyping.
"It is apparent that my role in this matter is overshadowing the process," Lee said at a news conference, adding that he felt he should remove himself from his post "in the hopes of restoring some semblance of calm to the city, which has been in turmoil for several weeks."
The local prosecutor, Norman Wolfinger, also stepped down from the case Thursday, Gov. Rick Scott said. Wolfinger said in a letter to Scott that his recusal was aimed at "toning down the rhetoric and preserving the integrity of the investigation." Scott appointed Angela Corey, the state attorney for the Jacksonville area, to take the case.
City Manager Norton Bonaparte refused to say what Lee meant by "temporarily" removing himself as police chief. Bonaparte said a search would begin immediately for an interim chief.
A few hours before the announcement, Bonaparte told USA TODAY that he would await the results of investigations into the Sanford Police Department by the Department of Justice and the Florida state attorney's office before deciding Lee's fate.
"I want to know if there were things they should have done that they didn't do, or things they did that they shouldn't have done," Bonaparte said.
He and Lee both left the news conference without answering questions.
Wednesday, many called for firing Lee and the Sanford City Commission, in a 3-2 vote, voted "no confidence" in Lee.
NAACP President Benjamin Jealous said outside Sanford City Hall that Lee "needs to step down, not just step aside."
"I don't see how this gets to a place where he isn't fired or just decides to quit," Jealous said. "By letting this linger for weeks, he has embarrassed our entire country."
There have been "assumptions and conclusions" made by the public regarding the Martin case that are based on limited information, Lee said in an email to USA TODAY this week. "There is much information that at this time is not public record to ensure the integrity of the investigation," he said.

Trayvon Martin Case: Lead Investigator Asked to Step Down
As tensions between community leaders and residents in Sanford, Fla., reach a boiling point, the man leading the investigation into the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin is being asked to step down.
During a heated special meeting regarding the death of the unarmed teen, who was allegedly shot and killed by self-appointed neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman, Sanford city commissioners conducted a vote of "no confidence" against embattled Police Chief Billy Lee. Three of five commissioners voted against the chief.
One commissioner demanded that Lee resign. It is now up to the city manager to decide whether or not to let Lee go.
"The unknown in a tragedy will make the heart do crazy things, and we haven't done a good job of getting out in front of that," said Sanford Mayor Jeff Triplett after the vote. "I have confidence in him in a lot of ways, and don't have confidence in him in some ways."
The vote of "no confidence" came after Triplett was forced to answer some tough questions from neighborhood residents and the media, during an NAACP meeting aimed at addressing allegations of police misconduct in the community.
"If there were mistakes made we are going to act accordingly," Triplett said in response to a question from ABC News about the investigation into Martin's death.

George Zimmerman, an animal in human skin
George Zimmerman, the 28-year-old Florida man who shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in the Sanford gated community, repeatedly called 911 over the past 14 months, and in several instances warned of "suspicious persons" who, like Trayvon Martin, happened to be black.
The Seminole County Sherrif's Department released several such calls Monday, amid intensifying calls for Zimmerman's arrest for the killing of Martin, who was walking to his father's house from a local store February 26th when he was followed, and then fatally shot by, Zimmerman.
The six newly released 911 calls, none of which relate to the Martin shooting, show Zimmerman worried more than once about unknown persons walking through the neighborhood.
From the Orlando Sentinel:
He needs to be arrested ASAP and the Police Chief who let him go needs to answer some questions!!
Protests are planned for Thursday, continuing the calls for Zimmerman's arrest.

From the Orlando Sentinel:
In four of the recordings Zimmerman called police to report "suspicious" persons -- all of whom were black -- in or near the Retreat at Twin Lakes neighborhood.
He called once to report his neighbor's open garage door. And in the sixth call, Zimmerman reports children are "habitually" playing in the street at dusk and running in front of cars. He asked dispatchers to take his complaint anonymously, but provided his name and phone number.Sanford police have declined to arrest Zimmerman, saying witness accounts support his claim of self defense. But that claim is disputed by at least three witnesses, and by Martin's family.
He needs to be arrested ASAP and the Police Chief who let him go needs to answer some questions!!
Protests are planned for Thursday, continuing the calls for Zimmerman's arrest.

The unnecessary death of Trayvon Martin
On the 26th of February 2012, 17 year old Trayvon Martin who was visiting his Dad and his Dad's girlfriend in Florida went out at night to a 7/11 to buy some Skittles and other snacks. His Dad lived in a gated community that had volunteer watchmen.On his way back home, he had his bag of skittles in one had while he was on the phone with his girlfriend who lived in Miami.
According to Trayvon's girlfriend, he said someone was following him and he was scared; his girlfriend told him to run but he said he'd rather walk fast.
The person following Trayvon was 28 year old George Zimmerman who was a volunteer watchman. According to George's 911 call, he told the responder that he saw a suspicious black male with a hoodie over his head. The 911 responder asked him what Trayvon was doing and he responded "He has something in his hand and is now running", the 911 responder specifically told George not to follow Trayvon and to let the cops handle it. George responded "OK" but didn't take the advice.
Several neighbours in that community called the cops saying they heard someone yelling "Help" and in one of the 911 calls placed by a neighbor, you could hear Trayvon yell "help" and then a gun shot.
By the time Cops got there, Trayvon was dead. When Zimmerman was asked what happened, he said he shot Trayvon in self defence. Really? Self defense from what? A bag of skittles? Since when did it become a crime to walk around with a hoodie?
The annoying part is that George didn't get arrested. He was allowed to go back home only based on his 'self defence' story. Seriously? People.
It's been over two weeks now and George is still walking free. I don't think justice has been served at all.
Rest In Peace Trayvon!!

American Idol Jermaine Jones disqualified for criminal past
Jermaine, 25, a vocal instructor from Pine Hill, N.J., Tweeted that he is no longer in the competition.
"Awww I will no longer b on the show," Jones wrote on his Idol-owned @JJonesAI11 account, which has since been deleted.
The Gentle Giant (as Ryan Seacrest would call him) who initially didn't make top 24 on American Idol was invited back as one of 13 guys after J Lo felt sorry for him. She felt sorry for him cos he cried like a little girl when he got kicked out. I thought the judges made a good decision when he didn't make top 24 and was very disappointed when he got invited back.
According to a report on TMZ.com, Jermaine lied about his criminal past to AI producers.
He was reportedly arrested twice last year – one of the incidents allegedly involved violence – and still has outstanding warrants.
He also made up a sob story about his Dad being a 'deadbeat' Dad. He said he was abandoned by his father who only resurfaced in his life when he became 'rich and famous'. Rich and famous?? Is he delusional?? When his Dad was confronted with this accusation, he vehemently denied it saying he's always been in his son's life. He was even part of the audience last Wednesday and Thursday to watch him perform!! Jermaine..Liar liar, pants on fire!!
Honestly, I never really liked him, his voice isn't unique and he's a cry baby...and also a Mommy's boy.
Seriously though, who has outstanding warrants and show their face on National TV?? ...very smart move J. #Dumbdumb

Man's inhumanity to Man
This story was culled from Punch Metro.
A suspect, Samson Igbinomewahin, 47, was on Monday arraigned at an Ebute Metta Chief Magistrates’ Court, Lagos, for allegedly pouring acid on his wife, Mrs. Susan Jeremiah, 31.
Jeremiah, a corporal in the Special Fraud Unit of the Nigeria... Police in Ikoyi, Lagos, was brought to court with one side of her body disfigured by the acid attack.
Igbinomewahin was charged with attempted murder. The charge sheet read in part that Igbinomewahin “on the 9th of March, 2011, at block 8, room 31, Obalende Police Barrack, Lagos…did unlawfully attempt to kill Susan Jeremiah by pouring acid substance on her body and thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 320 (1) of the Criminal Code Cap 17 Vol. II Laws of Lagos State 2003.”
The Magistrate, Mrs. Helen Omisore, had earlier asked Igbinomewahin if he wanted to be tried at either the magistrate or higher court before his plea was taken.
The suspect, who chose to be tried in the magistrate court, thereafter pleaded not guilty.
Igbinomewahin’s lawyer, Mr. Olatunde Kolawole, urged the court to grant him bail, saying the issue was “a domestic accident.” Besides, he told the court that the suspect had been in custody for more than a month.
At this point, Igbinomewahin interrupted the court proceeding by telling his lawyer that he had been detained for more than two months.
The magistrate shouted the suspect down and asked the court orderly to stand beside him in order to prevent further interruption.
But the victim’s lawyer, Mr. Lucky Oizimende , objected the bail application. He told the court that Jeremiah was still in intensive care, adding that, “what would stop him from going back to kill her?”
PUNCH METRO gathered that Igbinomewahin and his wife, whom he married in 2009, had been having running battles on his insistence that his wife should finance his proposed trip to Malaysia.
As part of the plan, our correspondent gathered that the suspect asked his wife to sell off her landed property and use the proceeds to facilitate his supposed trip.
Igbinomewahin was said to have promised his wife that she would join him when he settled down in Malaysia. PUNCH METRO, however, learnt that Jeremiah was skeptical about this arrangement.
Before the incident, our correspondent learnt that Jeremiah had already filed for divorce and the matter was still pending in another court.
As a result of the pending suit, the couple no longer live together. But the marriage is blessed with a child.
Police investigation revealed that on the fateful day, the suspect allegedly visited his estranged wife and brought a polythene bag into her apartment at police barracks, Obalende, and told his wife that it contained their baby’s food. It was learnt that when Jeremiah saw the content, she became suspicious and fled.
Igbinomewahin allegedly ran after her and poured the content in the polythene bag on her through the window.
The magistrate however adjourned ruling on the bail application till April 29, 2011, and ordered the suspect to be remanded in Ikoyi Prisons.

Nigerians need to stop this barbaric act!!
Most Nigerians are known to rush to judgement especially when it comes to seeing something they think is 'unusual'. You see someone walking funny, you think he walks that way cos he has something to hide. It could be he walks that way cos he has health issues. (Did you think of that?).
You see someone who looks like someone who robbed you previously, you raise an alarm, a mob gathers, beats him up and sets him ablaze in BROAD DAY LIGHT!!
The most ridiculous one was the one that happened some days ago!!You see someone with tattered clothes, eating under the bridge (which is his home), you IGNORANTLY assume he's eating human flesh, raise an alarm, create a mob and BEAT him up??? WTH?? Who does that??? It doesn't even ANY make sense! But that was what happened to these guys!
It's 2012 people!!!
My goodness, I feel so much outrage right now that I need a KOOL-AID!

WTH?? Who does that??? It doesn't even ANY make sense! But that was what happened to these guys!
According to PM News, a passer-by along the rail line in Ikeja saw three men in tattered clothes. One of them was making a call while the other ate meat suspected to be human flesh. Like.. seriously??
The passer-by raised an alarm that attracted the mob which instantly pounced on the two suspect human part eaters. But the one making the phone call managed to escape.
Their problem was compounded when the mob moved to the suspects' hideout behind the Ikeja Local Government Secretariat fence and found a cutlass, knife, charms and meat with fat which the mob suspected to be human flesh.
When a detachment of policemen from Area ‘F’ arrived the scene, Abiodun told them, that he was a carpenter but had no money to set up a workshop.
Abiodun claimed to be from Akiniku in Moloney area of Ilaro, Yewa, Ogun State, Southwest Nigeria. He added that he made the hideout his residence as he could not afford to rent a room for himself.
He explained that the meat discovered in their hideout was a cow fat which they eat and not human parts.
After intensive questioning, the policemen were convinced that the suspects were mistaken for human parts eaters and sellers by the mob. They were later released.
Speaking with P.M.NEWS on the incident, a police officer who preferred anonymity advised the public to investigate suspected criminals before taking any action.
But for the timely intervention of the policemen, the officer noted, the suspects would have been set ablaze.It's 2012 people!!!
My goodness, I feel so much outrage right now that I need a KOOL-AID!

Halle Berry is Engaged to French Actor Olivier Martinez
The world's most beautiful woman (In my opinion) is Engaged!!!
Halle Berry who has been married twice before – to Basketball player David Justice in the early 1990s, and to singer Eric Benét in the early 2000s – and has a daughter Nahla, who turns 4 this month, with Gabriel Aubrey is currently engaged to French actor Olivier Martinez. (Long wrap sheet, lol).
Olivier confirmed this yesterday at the opening of his restaurant -Villa Azur in Miami, Florida.
Olivier who is 46 said the emerald engagement ring he gave to Ms Berry who is 45, was actually designed by Robert Mazlo of Paris, whom he called "a real artist" who has been making jewelry for "kings and queens for many centuries."
These two met while working on the film Dark Tide; they stepped out as a couple in the fall of 2010 and have since been an item.
Halle said Olivier treats her well and that he is a 'keeper', I hope she keeps this one this time, lol.
Congratulations to the newly engaged couple.

Texas children found abandoned in a school bus while parents are in prison
I read this news yesterday and shook my head. An 11 year old girl and her 5 year old brother were left to fend for themselves after their parents were found guilty and incarcerated for embezzlement. These kids lived in a School bus in Sephora Texas, 30 miles from Houston. A postal carrier was the one who made this discovery and alerted Child Protective Services.
According to their Mom, these kids' Aunt were supposed to be responsible for them. She was supposed to visit the kids everyday to provide them with meals.
Really??? Who in their sane mind allows 2 little children to live in a bus by themselves?? Why did the Aunt not take the kids to her OWN home to live with her until their parents or at least their Mom was released from Prison?
According to newspaper reports, there didn't seem to be any type of food in the bus when they went in there, the little girl's hair was matted like a stray dog's. Of course it was, the kids were fending for themselves! This is the highest form of irresponsibility by the adults in their lives.
Their parents, Mark and Sherrie Shorten, were convicted of embezzling money from victims of Hurricane Ike. The mother was arrested in December 2010, the father in March 2011.
According to their Dad who was interviewed yesterday after the kids were taken by CPS on Wednesday, the school bus was supposed to be a temporary home site until they could build their own home on that same plot of land.
He said the bus has hot and cold running water, including a shower and flush toilets, as well as heat and closets. So EFFING what??? Anything could have happened to those kids, ANYTHING!!
A Louisiana attorney who represented the children’s mother prior to her imprisonment said the Aunt was supposed to be taking care of them...Well she didn't! These children lived in a School bus but weren't even enrolled in School! The little girl is said to be intelligent but didn't know how to sign her name when she was asked to do so. SERIOUSLY!?!! These parents are.....
No charges have yet been filed against the parents.
Fortunately, their Mom will be released from prison in 30 days. Hopefully, she will be able to get her kids back and nurture them properly.
My Goodness!! SMH!!!

Snooki's ex boyfriend and her fiance have war of words on twitter
I seriously think Emilio (Snooki's ex bf) is still in love with her cos he keeps talking about ..maybe taking her back if she asked him and even wished she had a miscarriage.This is an excerpt from the interview he had with TMZ: "My wish is to sit down and talk with her for 5 minutes, no cameras, face-to-face, and have a conversation with Nicole not Snooki. I know she'd fall in love with me again."Move on Emilio you had your chance and blew it, Snooki is engaged and is carrying someone's baby.
Below is a dialogue between Emilio (Snooki's ex) and Jionni (Snooki's baby Daddy) on twitter.

Snooki's ex boyfriend thrash talks her fiance
In a phone interview with KC 101.3 today, Emilio (Snooki's ex boyfriend) told Ashley (the interviewer) he was misunderstood about his 'Snooki's miscarriage' statement, He said he only meant that Snooki wasnt ready to be a Mom. He kinda insinuated that Snooki still had feelings for him and from the way he talked, I think he would take her back if she asked him. He also had twitter words with her Baby Daddy today.
Oh my God, this interview had a lot of inside info that many people didn't know about, lol. If you are an Aproko like me, then you'll have fun listening to this gossip, lol.
I kinda think the girl interviewing him was kinda making fun of him (Emilio) though, lol. SMH!

Celebrities wardrobe malfunction pics
Some celebrities sometimes deliberately or mistakenly have underwear mishaps. Unfortunately for them but fortunately for us (amebo people, lol), some very sharp/fast camera guys are always there to capture those awkward moments, lol.
Check out Meagan Good and her draws.
Jessica Alba was at Paris Fashion week that's currently going on. She looked to be enjoying herself but didn't catch herself on time as a reporter caught sight of her panties in mid leg cross.
Rihanna aka Ms Drama Queen, was recently seen without a bra.
And the winner is.... Adrienne Bailon!! She accidentally flashed the red carpet of an event in New York City over the weekend after a gust of wind blew her dress up, exposing her...ahem..#cough cough, lol.
She explained that "the wind blew and despite what other girls may do, this is really a terrible accident to me. I’m really upset, but I’m even more upset about what my parents might think.
“I want to be known for my talent. I love the idea of being sexy, but I’ve never been in this business to sell sex, I’ve been in this business to sell my talent.
“The truth is, when you look at the pictures, you don’t realize that the wind really did blow my dress, and I don’t really know what else to say about it.”
Truth of the matter is..she should have worn an underwear or something with more material to cover her privates. With all the money she makes you'd think she can afford real clothes, lol.
