SHANGHAI, Apr. 18 -- Thirty tons of molten steel spilled from a falling ladle, killing 32 workers and injuring two in a Liaoning steelmaking plant this morning, Xinhua news agency reported.

The 32 victims were working in a room away from where the ladle was being operated when the accident happened at 7:45am in the plant owned by Qinghe Special Steel Co Ltd in Tieling City in Northeast China's Liaoning Province.

The ladle suddenly dropped when being moved to a new location, and 30 tons of molten steel spilled out and poured into the room five meters away, killing all the people inside.

Two operators were slightly injured and escaped from the scene by themselves, the report said.

Those responsible for the incident were under supervision, the report said.

Vice provincial governor Li Jia and vice provincial Party secretary Luo Lin reachedhave gone to the scene to guide the rescue work.

But the rescuer work was hindered by the heat from the molten steel, the report said.

Pandora’s Jar does not come with much documentation and it is not the most intuitive application to use. Fortunately, it is fairly easy to use if you carefully follow this step by step tutorial. Once you get the hang of starting Pandora’s Jar, you will soon have nicely labeled mp3 copies of everything you listen to on Pandora filling your hard drive. This program’s “low” rating is solely because it is hard to use, if I were just rating it’s ability to do what it claims, it would be at least a 4.5.

Thousands of university students rioted in eastern China this week, officials and students said on Wednesday, as the police chief called for greater efforts to tame rising unrest. Students from Jiangxi province's Clothing Vocational College marched through campus on Monday after state media reported that school authorities had deceived new students about their eventual qualifications and issued fake diplomas. "They (students) committed extreme acts such as vandalising and looting," an officer at the Jiangxi provincial police department told Reuters by telephone. "Anti-riot police have been stationed on campus to maintain order."

North Korea says conducted nuclear test

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea carried out an underground nuclear test on Monday, North Korea's Central News Agency (KCNA) said.

"Our science research section has safely and successfully conducted an underground nuclear test on October 9," it said.

It added that there was no leak or danger from the test.

South Korea's presidential Blue House said a tremor had been detected in North Korea on Monday.

It said South Korea's Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources had detected a tremor of a magnitude 3.58 to 3.7 at 0135 GMT.

Officials in neighboring Japan and China had no immediate comment on the reports.

North Korea announced last week it would test a nuclear device saying its hand was forced by what it called U.S. threats of nuclear war and economic sanctions. But it said it would not be the first to use a nuclear weapon.

刘德华同志学习三个代表

刘德华同志学习三个代表
郁闷的螺旋  2006-4-28 13:12:55

    那天没有看到电视现场直播的以及电视闪得太快，没来得及看清楚的朋友要留意了，现在现场重播经典片段！！！

　　1 胡主席一上台就开始发话了，要发扬＂三个代表＂的精神，要联系群众，如此云云

　　2　参加会议的港，澳以及内地电影界的代表们齐集一堂，全体立正站着听主席发话

　　里面的有钱银实在是太多了，平日的大碗们都得赶上形式，学习“三个代表”。

    刚开始对于来自ＨＫ的他们来说还很新鲜，能坐着在人民大会堂与各地的代表们参加中央的会议是多么荣幸的事情啊．所以３个人笑成一朵花，心里美美地说！！！
　　唉，你们这些ＨＫ人，不像我们这些内地的，从小就接受这种具有中国特色的会议，虽然不是中央会议，但会议的内容都差不多，所以我们从小就麻木了．可是你们．．．笑什么，苦果在后面！！！

    接着，很明显，小唐睡着了（唐导演，你无话可说了吧，被逮个正着），
　　曾胖子笑傻了（哈哈哈，台上的那位长春同志到底在说什么，＂三个代表＂四个字反反复复一直在重复）
　　老大就是老大，在这么好的睡眠环境中都能保持清醒，只是好象不些心不在焉，不然为什么那么多人都没有注意到镜头，你却发觉有人在拍摄你呢？？还是你的镜头感太强了，下意识就摆出个ＰＯＳＥ

    台上的领导人在讲邓小平理论.3个代表...底下的老艺术家们睡倒一大片...这是什么风景啊...只有我们老大....多认真...哈哈...
　　胖子不再有力气笑了，好象这时候的他也睡眼朦胧了，抵不住找周公了
　　小唐同志微微睁开眼睛，不过仍然是缝眼（啊？？还没完．．．继续做梦）
　　刘德华也不再有笑容，连镜头感都没有了，脸色越来越沉重．．．

    大会完毕，刘生和胖子步出会议厅
　　胖子：弊, 剛才睡相好像有人影了, 我想這麼多人, 應該影不到我吧, 怎知就是影我
　　不好意思，刘生．刚才偶睡过去了，到底＂三个代表＂是什么意思啊？？？
　　
　　刘德华：三个代表？？？．．．．．．听了１小时，还是不太明白，难道是照片上的我，你和唐导演！！！！（好郁闷的表情啊）

由于再听过１小时的会议后，什么都没有明白，刘德华感觉自己听了１小时的大空话，所以神情严厉地去投诉：＂不要再有下次＂！！！
　　
　　真是难为你了，华仔

Superheroes unmasked as drink drivers

POLICE who pulled over a suspected drink driver found he was dressed as Batman and had a drunken Superman sitting beside him.

Batman, a provisional driving licence-holder, was found to be over the drink-drive limit. Superman, who held a full driving licence, was also breath-tested and found to be the same. Both men have now been charged.

A source at Fife Police said: "This is a real fall from grace for two superheroes. I am sure drink driving is not allowed in Gotham City, and it is certainly not to allowed in Fife.

An official spokesman for Fife Police said: "We've all had a bit of laugh about Superman and Batman getting stopped.

"But there is a serious side to all of this. The driver of the car appears only to have had a provisional driving licence and has been charged with drink driving.

Fife Police said that despite a strong message being sent about using seatbelts, 87 adults were detected not using them, 74 of them were drivers.

There were four incidents where officers found children in the back of the car not wearing a seatbelt.

Chief Inspector Joe Swanston, head of Road Policing, said: "We are appealing to the public to help us crack down on drink drivers.

"We need people to tell us if someone who has just got behind a wheel after drinking or information on people that regularly drink and drive."

Microsoft: MMO games face security risk

SEATTLE, Washington (Reuters) -- All too familiar with hackers looking to exploit security flaws in its software, Microsoft Corp. warned video game developers Monday that their PC games are now a target for criminals.

Popular massively multiplayer online games, such as "World of Warcraft," have created a market for valuable game identities loaded with gold or other hard-earned forms of in-game currency that can be used to buy new weapons, magic spells or other trappings to advance within the game.

"The police are really good at understanding someone stole my credit card and ran up a lot of money. It's a lot harder to get them to buy into 'someone stole my magic sword."'
