Notorious warlord returns to Afghanistan to help Karzai
08-16-2009
•
McClatchy News
A notorious Afghan warlord accused of allowing the murder of
hundreds, if not thousands, of prisoners and then destroying the
evidence returned to Afghanistan Sunday night as part of what appears
to be a political deal brokered with President Hamid Karzai.
Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum arrived from Turkey just four days before the
Afghan presidential elections, in which his support could be key to
Karzai's chances of securing more than 50 percent of the vote - the
threshold for avoiding a second round of elections.

Obama mama: 6 lost months
8/16/09
•
Worldnet Daily
No documented record of whereabouts,activity leading up to baby's birth in '61
Much was happening in the first six months of 1961. But an extensive WND investigation into events leading up to the birth of Barack Obama, who would become America's first black president 47 years later, leaves many unanswered questions about the whereabouts and activities of the woman he claims as his mother.
The timeline for Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, reveals an approximately six-and-a-half month interval in which there is no documentation for her whereabouts, from Jan. 31, 1961, when she concluded the fall term at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, until Aug. 19, 1961, when the University of Washington at Seattle documents she was enrolled for extension courses.

Fire Used to Make Better Tools 75,000 Years Ago
08-16-2009
•
LiveScience
Early humans crossed a threshold around 75,000 years ago,
when they started painting symbols, carving patterns and making
jewelry. A new study found they also began to use fire to make tools around
that time.
Until now, this complex, multi-step process for tool making
was only known to occur as recently as 25,000 years ago in Europe. But the new
findings show this breakthrough occurred much earlier, and in
Africa, not Europe.

Scientists find rare gene behind short sleepers
08-16-2009
•
AP
Scientists have discovered a gene that helps a
mother and daughter stay alert on about six hours sleep a night, two
hours less than the rest of their family needs.
It's believed to be
a very rare mutation, not an excuse for the rest of us who stay up too
late. But the finding, published in Friday's edition of the journal
Science, offers a new lead to study how sleep affects health.

AzCentral.com
Maricopa County sheriff's deputies on Wednesday stormed into a county building, seized control of a computer system and threatened to arrest county employees if they tried to stop them, according to county officials.
County management responded by asking a Maricopa County Superior
Court judge for a temporary restraining order against the Sheriff's
Office.
The system, which provides access to law-enforcement databases, is
the subject of a lawsuit between the Sheriff's Office and the Board of
Supervisors.

Top doctor says system 'imploding' (Canada)
08/16/2009
•
Health Zone
he incoming president of the Canadian Medical Association says Canada's health-care system is sick and doctors need to develop a plan to cure it.
Dr. Anne Doig says patients are getting less than optimal care, and she adds that physicians from across the country " who will gather in Saskatoon today for their annual meeting " recognize that changes must be made.
"We all agree that the system is imploding, we all agree that things are more precarious than perhaps Canadians realize," Doig told The Canadian Press.
"We know that there must be change," she said. "We're all running flat out, we're all just trying to stay ahead of the immediate day-to-day demands."

Blasting Neutrinos Under Wisconsin May Yield Big Payoff
08-16-2009
•
Washington Post
Make that under Wisconsin. Because the Earth is round,
anyone wishing to send an object in a straight line from one spot on
the planet to another spot 500 miles away must aim through the planet
itself.
Here's where the really weird physics kick in: Neutrinos blast right
through the Earth with nary a spark. They interact so rarely and so
weakly with normal matter that they can zip right through solid rock as
though it were not even there -- much like light through a clear glass
window. That's why, contrary to the hopes of some private contractors
who heard about a big new experiment under construction, Fermilab does
not need to dig a tunnel underneath Wisconsin.

Hawaii Plans Quiet, Sobering 50th Anniversary
08-16-2009
•
AP
Hawaii turns 50 years old as the 50th state, but there will be
no grand parades, no dazzling fireworks, no lavish displays of native
culture.
Organizers of the observation are not even willing to call it a party.
It is simply a "commemoration," one that is sensitive to a painful
history of the Hawaiian monarchy's overthrow and unresolved claims of
Native Hawaiians.

North Korea, its economy weaker, reopens to South
08-16-2009
•
Reuters
North Korea said Monday it would reopen its border with the South,
ending a self-imposed blockade on a vital source of income for
Pyongyang's leaders as their ravaged economy is squeezed by tightening
U.N. sanctions.
It is the latest step by the hermit North to resume some sort of
relationship with an outside world from which it has been all but
isolated by its months of military grandstanding, including a second
nuclear test in May and a series of missile launches.

An Avalanche of Insider Stock Selling
08/13/2009
•
The Golden Truth
What's the "message" of the market here? Over the last two weeks corporate insiders have dumped over $2.1 billion in stock vs. $73.1 million in buys. I'm not sure I've ever seen the ratio of insider sells vs. buys this skewed toward officers and directors looking for the exit door. Talk about the captain jumping into the lifeboat and speeding away before the ship sinks....
Given that the trailing, "as reported" price/earnings ratio is now 144, or substantially above the peak p/e ratio on the Nasdaq at the top of the tech bubble, what is the market trying to tell us?
Think about that when you call up your financial advisor or broker and tell him you want get out of the stock market.

Obama seeks to track visits to .gov websites
Planned lifting of ban on 'cookies' called '1984'-style spying effort
The Barack Obama administration has announced plans to lift a government ban on tracking visitors to government websites, and potentially, collect their personal data through the use of "cookies" " an effort some suspect may already be in place on White House sites.
A ban on such tracking by the federal government on Internet users has been in place since 2000, however, the White House Office of Management and Budget now wants to lift the ban citing a "compelling need."
In fact, according to the Electronic Privacy and Information Center, federal agencies have already negotiated agreements and contracts with social networking sites like Google, YouTube, SlideShare, Facebook, AddThis, Blist, Flickr and VIMEO to collect information on visitors for federal web sites. All of these private companies are known to have agreements with fe

(Amazing that they admit on the Today Show that when they tried this in 1976 it failed and many died as a result)
A March 2009 policy brief by the United Nations Population
Division reveals that the long-term plan for worldwide population
reduction is not going fast enough, not by a long shot. Under the
desperate headline What would it take to accelerate fertility decline
in the least developed countries? the policy brief gives an overview of
the progress made by developing countries in regards to the globalists
set goal of reducing population and proposes several ways of speeding
up the death. Richly draped with graphic illustrations on the state of
global population and the progress made by the UN to bring back
fertility to acceptable levels, the policy brief advises an increased
effort on the part of governments to commit to a strict family
planning- policy and other measures designed to bring a halt to life.

Critics want to bench Judge Manuel L. Real

•
LA Times
Attorney Gary Dubin was in a Honolulu hospital, sedated and suffering from depression after the death of his son, when U.S. District Judge Manuel L. Real had him handcuffed and taken to court -- still in his hospital gown -- to answer charges of failing to file tax returns.Real allowed him to send for clothes but refused to postpone the hearing, recalled Dubin, who had to defend himself in a medicated fog without his case files. Judged guilty by Real after a two-day bench trial, Dubin spent 19 1/2 months in federal prison, while his home went into foreclosure and his credit was ruined by identity thieves.
He achieved a measure of vindication years later when the IRS sent him a letter saying he had not violated any tax-filing laws. But he said his encounter with Real caused him professional and economic suffering from which he is still recovering.
