‘Bang’ halts Times Square subways

NEW YORK (CNN) — New York police were investigating a reported explosion in Times Square early Thursday, police said.

Two witnesses, a man and a woman, each told a local TV station they heard a “huge bang” from their hotel rooms, but there were no police or fire reports of serious damage or injuries.

“I was on the 44th floor and I heard it. I can feel it from up there,” a woman told WABC-TV.

Police and fire squads cordoned off part of an area around Times Square. They gathered outside a military recruiting station with a large hole in the front window, The Associated Press reported.

Police could not confirm whether an explosive device went off in the area, the AP reported.

USB Aroma Diffuser

Hi readers . I am sorry . I didn’t have to time to post.This post might sound interesting to you.

*

ONCE in a while a quirky USB device catches our eye, such as those cup warmers (for coffee or tea, we mean) and light stalks that plug into the USB port of your desktop and portable computers. This time, it’s a USB Aroma Diffuser.  

Plug the device into a notebook (we think it works better here than on a PC because a notebook is usually nearer to a user than a desktop’s CPU), and add a few drops of the aromatic oil provided. 

As the tiny panel heats up, the oil gets warm and the fragrance diffuses into the air around the portable computer.  

The product label claims the aroma “inspires emotional stability” (chuckle, chuckle) and “soothes stress and anxiety.” 

There are a variety of fragrances – Rose, Jasmine and Peppermint. The device retails for RM14.80 at Action City, at The Gardens shopping centre in Kuala Lumpur

RAAF Butterworth Base 50th Year Anniversary

2008 marks the 50th Anniversary of the establishment of a Combat Support Unit at RMAF Base Butterworth. Base Squadron Butterworth (BSBUT) was formed at RAAF Amberley on 15 Jan 1958 and stood up at the then Air Base Butterworth on 1 May 1958. In 1988, and following the withdrawal of the last permanent fighter squadron from Butterworth, BSBUT was disestablished and replaced by RAAF Support Unit Butterworth which was in turn disestablished and replaced by 324 CSS in 1999.

To celebrate the 50th Anniversary a series of events is being planned over the period 23-25 May 2008 inclusive. These will include a formal ceremonial parade on the base, a dinner dance on Penang Island and an pleasant Sunday afternoon at the ‘Hostie’. These events will be supported by the Air Force Band.

Parliament dissolved

 (thestar)

PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has announced that Parliament has been dissolved, paving the way for the 12th general election. 

At a hastily convened press conference at his office Wednesday afternoon, he said he had met the Yang Di Pertuan Agong in the morning and received His Majesty’s consent to dissolve Parliament. 

“I’ve informed Parliament and the Election Commission,” Abdullah said. The state assemblies have also been advised to dissolve. 

The Prime Minister declined to speculate on what date Malaysians would cast their ballots, saying that it would be up to the Election Commission (EC) to decide. 

“I am confident of winning, and I hope that we will retain our two-thirds majority,” he said. 

The ruling Barisan Nasional coalition swept to a landslide victory in the last general election in 2004. 

Meanwhile, the Election Commission said it would announce polling and nomination day on Thursday at its office in Putrajaya. 

The Election Commission held several meetings Wednesday in preparation for the Prime Minister’s announcement of the dissolution of Parliament. 

“We have got the declaration on the dissolution of Parliament by the Yang Di Pertuan Agong and the announcement of nomination and polling will be done tomorrow,” said EC chairman Tan Sri Abdul Rashid Abdul Rahman. 

When asked if nomination day was February 21 and election day on March 2nd, he said: “You can speculate anything you want. The official announcement is tomorrow. 

“You wait for the official announcement,” he added. 

Abdul Rashid also said, “We want to make sure of fairness in this election process. We will ensure the appropriate time and space is given for the parties to choose their candidates and for campaigning.” 

Election rules
The general election must be held within 60 days of Parliament being dissolved, in accordance with Article 55(4) of the Federal Constitution. 

Once Dewan Rakyat is dissolved, the tenure of all MPs automatically ends, which also means that they stop enjoying the privileges, perks, and powers related to their function. 

Until the next Parliament is convened, the country is run by a caretaker government. 

The caretaker government’s role is to keep the government machinery running, and should not involve making policy changes or formulating new legislation.
