THREE humans skulls being sent to Britain were seized at Indonesia's international airport, a customs officer said on Thursday. The sponge-wrapped skulls were packed in separate boxes and labeled as handicrafts, said Mr Eko Darmanto, chief of customs at Jakarta's airport. Two were intricately carved or decorated and the third remained in its original form. 'Police are investigating a possible crime,' he told reporters, adding that the skulls originated from Bali island and were destined for Yorkshire via air courier. Indonesia News Blog:
The Indonesian Police have confiscated Molotov cocktails, self-made firearms and bullets as well as sharp weapons from a students' dormitory in South Sulawesi, an officer said Wednesday. "We are still questioning 20 students on the case but possibly the weapons are to be used in brawls," Detective Adj. Comr. Muhammad Nur Akbar was quoted in major newspaper The Jakarta Post's website as saying. Police found three Molotov cocktails, three self-made firearms and dozens of swords, machetes and arrows from a boarding house on Cokonuri Street in the provincial capital, Makassar during a raid late on Tuesday. The students have yet to be named as suspects but they can be charged with the 1951 emergency law on firearms, punishable to at least five years in prison.Indonesia News Blog:

This from the Courier-Journal:Two opinionsTom Layzell is a gentleman. He's an experienced educator, and easy to like.However, a quiet and deferential tenure as head of the Council on Postsecondary Education gives him no standing to lecture Gov. Steve Beshear on what to do about a CPE that is (and was, under Mr. Layzell's amiable and well-mannered guidance) embarrassingly ineffective.Mr. Layzell's letter to the Governor, warning that any conflict with the CPE could set back higher education in Kentucky, is best simply ignored. On the other hand, yesterday's opinion from Atty. Gen. Jack Conway, explaining that CPE acted improperly in naming Brad Cowgill to Mr. Layzell's old post, should be seized as an opportunity.The council as it now exists is an embarrassment.

"Carpe diem!" Or in plain English, “seize the day!” Life is short and every moment is precious. Each time I hear Horace's immortal phrase, I am infused with energy. It is in perfect harmony with Sri Chinmoy’s philosophy: “To expedite your God-realisation-journey, you must take full advantage of every opportunity that knocks at your heart-door.” Recently, I was presented with a unique opportunity to seize the day and attempt a world record.

By: Roshawn Watson It is so interesting how two people can see a situation so differently. For example, one person can look at the subprime mortgage crisis and say "oh my, what is going to happen to the value of my home." In contrast, David Bach, Warren Buffet, and Donald Trump all say it is a fabulous time to get into real estate. Similarly, one person may look at the looming recession and say "what am I going to do" while their neighbor is launching an idea that will provide thousands of jobs.Click here for free gifts for new Watson Inc subscribersSomeone very dear to me recently purchased a car.

U.S. marshals seized $71,000 worth of goods from a Florida company that illegally marketed supplements to treat serious conditions such as diabetes, anemia and high blood pressure, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Friday.
It said FulLife Natural Options, Inc., of Boca Raton, Florida, was marketing Charantea Ampalaya Capsules and Charantea Ampalaya Tea as an unapproved drug.
"These claims are evident in the products' labeling, including promotional literature and FulLife's Internet Web site," the FDA said in a statement.
"Despite FDA's warnings, the firm failed to bring its marketing into compliance with the law. During subsequent inspections, FDA inspectors found that the offending claims were still being made."
It said marshals also raided Charron Nutrition of Tallahassee, Florida, last August, which was promoting its Glucobetic, Neuro-betic, Ocu-Comp, Atri-Oxi, Super-Flex, MSM-1000, and Atri-E-400 capsules as treatments for diabetes, arthritis and other serious he
Haiti A Growing Market For Business, Chamber President Says:
By Macushla N. Pinder -
Nassau, Bahamas:
For years, Haiti has been dubbed an economic basket case, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and a troubled, lawless nation.
But that is apparently not the Haiti Chamber of Commerce executives discovered last week during a trade mission to that island nation.
In fact, the Chamber’s President Dionisio D’Aguilar insisted that Haiti is poised for economic development and a rebirth and that the time is ripe to seize some real opportunities there.
He noted that since the election of President Rene Preval, Haiti’s political climate is settling and the investment climate is much more secure than two years ago
Mr. D’Aguilar added that despite its economic condition and the significant amount of poverty that exists, Haiti is a large and growing market, the largest in the Caribbean by people volume.

Seize The Opportunity Here And Now by Manoj SharmaIn the mind of an "ignorant" child there are infinite possibilities, but in the mind of an "knowledgeable" adult there are few. Correspondingly, those who live their lives as being a possibility of something or another are only giving further power to their ego. Their ego, which is only too happy to convince them as to their own grandeur, legacy and "contribution".Following the path of possibility will only serve to move you further towards the systematic failure to appreciate the underlying principle of the universe, made up of multi-verses, existing as an opportunity waiting to be seized.An opportunity, here and now, for consciousnesses to emerge, re-merge and sub-merge with consciousness itself and ultimately realize its true nature.

Cook became the youngest player to pass 1500 runs for England
England struggled to 169-7 on a rain-affected opening day of the second Test at Trent Bridge. Just 55 overs were possible as play did not start until 15:00 BST due to a waterlogged pitch. After winning the toss and choosing to field, the tourists exploited the favourable conditions with Zaheer Khan taking 3-50.Alastair Cook was dismissed seven short of his half-century while Chris Tremlett provided some resistance and is on 16 not out overnight.India took advantage of the new ball with England languishing on 47-3 at one stage. Andrew Strauss (4) was the first to be dismissed after edging an inswinger from Khan straight to Sachin Tendulkar at first slip. Skipper Michael Vaughan departed in similar fashion for nine after nicking a Khan delivery to Tendulkar. Kevin Pietersen whacked three fours on his way to 13 before being trapped lbw off RP Singh.

Iraqi and coalition forces detained 19 suspects and captured weapons caches during recent operations in Iraq. Tips from two Iraqi residents near Dhour, south of Baghdad, helped coalition forces nab seven suspects yesterday, including an al Qaeda network leader, military officials said. The first tipster called soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division's 89th Cavalry Regiment and alerted them to a weapons cache. Soldiers responded, located the buried weapons, and had been digging up the cache for five minutes when they received another phone call. The second caller claimed he had the 2nd Brigade Combat Team's top high-value target and would deliver him to coalition custody. This tipster arranged a meeting place to hand the detainee over to Army Capt. Adam Sawyer, the Troop C commander.Soldiers hastily re-buried the cache and departed for the meeting place, where they took custody of the high-value detainee and two other suspects. During the exchange, some of the soldiers observed the cac
