Is this true? I was browsing awhile ago then this caught my attention.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Pop star Michael Jackson’s death was ruled a homicide from drug overdose on Friday, fueling speculation his personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, may soon be charged with manslaughter or another crime.

The Los Angeles County Coroner said in its ruling that the powerful anesthetic propofol, which is used in surgery and has been dubbed “milk of amnesia” by some doctors, as well as the sedative lorazepam were the primary drugs responsible for Jackson’s sudden death on June 25 at the age of 50.

Other drugs found in the singer’s body were midazolam, diazepam, lidocaine and ephedrine.

Los Angeles police said they will refer the case to prosecutors for possible criminal charges when they have completed a probe into Jackson’s death. In previous court filings, police have said Murray, who was with the singer the day he died, was being investigated for manslaughter.

Jackson, whose “Thriller” CD is the best-selling album of all time, died suddenly in Los Angeles after suffering cardiac arrest only weeks before a series of comeback concerts.

Murray, a heart specialist with offices in Houston and Las Vegas, was hired to care for the singer while he prepared for the concerts, and he was at Jackson’s bedside the day he died.

The doctor previously has admitted to police that he administered propofol, which has a milky appearance and is used to sedate patients, to help Jackson sleep.

RUSH TO CHARGE?

Police have looked into the activities of other Jackson doctors including his dermatologist.

On Friday the California Attorney General’s office said it will begin an independent investigation of several physicians whose names have come up in the Los Angeles police probe.

Murray’s attorney cautioned that the probe is not complete, nor are all the details of Jackson’s death known.

“We will not be responding until we get a full autopsy report, including the entire list of drugs found in Mr. Jackson, their quantities, and all other data that would allow independent medical experts to analyze and interpret,” attorney Ed Chernoff said in a statement.

The coroner said the complete toxicology report remained sealed at the request of Los Angeles police and prosecutors.

The list of drugs in Jackson’s system provided by the coroner on Friday reads like a cocktail of sedatives, painkillers and one stimulant. Midazolam, which is similar to propofol, is used to make patients drowsy during procedures such as colonoscopies.

Diazepam, the generic version of Valium, is used to calm anxiety, while lidocaine is a painkiller and ephedrine is a stimulant.

Defense attorney Steve Cron, a professor at Pepperdine University School of Law, said Murray could face up to four years in prison if convicted of involuntary manslaughter.

Forensics expert Dr. Lawrence Kobilinsky, who chairs the Department of Science at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, said prosecutors would look at the amount of propofol and other drugs in Jackson’s system, whether errors were made in administering drugs in combination, and whether Murray gave proper dosages or a lethal dosage.

Jim Cohen, a professor of law at Fordham University, said Murray could put up a vigorous defense.

“It’s not an open and shut case,” he said. “Everyone says (propofol) can only be administered in a hospital setting. I’m sure they’ll find some expert who says that’s preferred, but preferred doesn’t mean it’s required.”

I have to admit that I’m one of those people. Well, a bit. =) I read a news about China’s tough cure for internet slaves. The parents who thinks their children are addicted to the internet and believe they spend too much time on the internet.

The centre is not your ordinary centre. It is run by a hospital that is attached to the Chinese military and is on a military base. Most of the patients are in their mid 20’s or teenagers.

Mr Tao defines an internet addict as anyone who is on the internet for at least six hours a day and has little interest in school.

Slogans posted on the walls of the centre make it clear that spending too much time on the internet is not healthy.

“Those who are masters of the internet are heroes,” reads one, before adding, “Those who are controlled by the internet are slaves.”

Youngsters come to the centre from across China and many of them have to endure its tough regime for three months.

Sidenote: hmm, this is really interesting. this is the first time I’ve heard such centre for internet slaves. Goodluck to them.

Also, does this mean that I’m an internet slave as well? I spent most of my day in front of the internet for like 6 hours or more!! =)

Having trouble or have no clue or idea on how to get your website indexed? If your website is pretty new, of course you’ll be having a lot of work to be done for your website to be indexed. But, of course there are different ways to get on the top. Warning: I’m no guru. I just want to share some of my personal experiences.

The first thing you might want to do is to write contents that are interesting. Not your personal encounters. (ex. i woke up. brushed my teeth. took a bath. off to work yadayada..) The best is what most people would want to search over the internet. My friend told me it’s much better if you have niche of your website. Don’t forget that content is very much important. Second is try to submit your website on different website directory submission sites. By submitting your website, you are one step closer to being indexed by major search engines such as Yahoo, Google, MSN etc. Not only that, you also get to have a massive flow of traffic to your website which is really he most hard part of all. Submitting your website to a website directory is FREE no payments to be done and it is not time consuming at all. By doing all these, your site will become much more easier to find.

I am really excited to watch CSI Season 10! Eventhough Gil Grissom won’t be coming back, at least Sarah Sidle is!

Here’s a piece of article about her comeback.

Lauren Lee Smith is not going to be back for the tenth season of CSI, executive producer Naren Shankar told TV Guide Magazine. And, much like the departure of Kim Delaney on her first season in CSI: Miami, it’s because the character just wasn’t working well as everyone had expected.

“It was an issue of how we were feeling the ensemble was working,” Shankar said. “When we brought in the character of Riley, it got lost in the shuffle a little bit because we had lost Warrick, we had lost Sara, and then in the middle of last season Grissom finally left. I think, as a result, the character never quite found its footing in terms of the rest of the gang.”

And, perhaps, the fact that some CSI fans never really warmed to her, at least as a replacement for Jorja Fox, who left the show in the eighth season. Well, that’s moot, then, as Fox’s returning to the show for, according to Shankar, at least five episodes. “She shows up because the team is understaffed,” he said. “The undersheriff reaches out for a recommendation and Sara says, ‘I think that person might be me.’”

“The team has had a rough year–there has been a lot going on–and so Sara comes back mostly just to see if she can help for a while, because she loves those guys and she misses them,” Fox told the magazine in a separate interview.

Her five-episode stint is expected to address why she returns to the Las Vegas team–it’s been revealed before that she’ll be dealing with another serial killer–and all those questions about what happened between her and Grissom. “That will hopefully be a reveal in the premiere,” Fox said. “They’ve prevented me from discussing Grissom at all.”

While it’s not sure whether she’s going to stay, Shankar promises that fans will be in for a treat. “We’re going to spotlight her for the episodes that she’ll be in,” he promises.

Well, you get some, you lose some. Or, I guess Riley wasn’t so lucky after all…
