Did the release of Paris Hilton from a Los Angeles jail merit the media attention it received? That question reached a critical point for one US cable news presenter when she refused to read out the lead item on a popular morning breakfast show.

"I have an apology," presenter Mika Brzezinski told the host of MSNBC's Morning Joe programme, "and that is for the lead story. I hate this story. I don't think it should be the lead.

Taunted by her co-presenters, Brzezinski proceeded to tear up the script, attempting to set light to it before finally putting it through a shredder. "You have changed the world," mocked host Joe Scarborough."Yes I have," replied Brzezinski, "at least my world."

Throughout the exchanges Brzezinski appeared angry at the inclusion of the item as the lead in the morning's news

She took a cigarette lighter from a fellow presenter and tried, but failed, to set light to the sheaf of papers.

Brzezinski was shown with her head in her hands.

Artificial Skin (with pictures)

Artificial skin 'cuts scarring'

A prototype artificial skin used to heal wounds has been developed by British researchers.

The researchers hope it might provide an alternative to skin grafts.

But this is not ideal, and there have been attempts to create a form of artificial skin.

Intercytex believes its latest version weaves into wounds much better.

The skin is created from a matrix made up of fibrin, a protein found in healing wounds.

In a process that effectively replicates the way the body makes new skin, the cells produce and release another protein, collagen, which makes the matrix more stable.

The researchers say that because the matrix is in a stable form, it is more able to withstand changes that take place during the healing process.

Others, however, have warned it is easy to heal a small, surgically-created wound in healthy volunteers, and that the true test will come when the technique is tried on real patients with real burns.

Download:Polynap MP3s for Better Power Naps

For those wondering how I manage to regulate the duration of my naps, and manage to sleep so soundly at work - I created the most invaluable mp3 I’ve ever possessed.

Dump it to your cellphone, mp3 player or wherever, plug some headphones in, and you have a distraction-less sleep that wakes you up at precisely the right time (or does a very good job at trying).

It consists of white,blue and brown noise followed by light chicken ‘clucking’ and soft rooster crowing. The rooster crowing repeats, getting louder each time. If you sleep through that then it resorts to nastier things like bugles, irish bagpipes, computer tones, explosions, fingers on a chalkboard and a voice telling you to wake up.

Download Links
I provide these mp3’s entirely free of charge.
I only ask that you use this page as the link when distributing my files.
(i.e. please don’t use a direct link, the google ads above help me pay for my hosting)
