Dead Army vaccine scientist eyed in anthrax probe....
WASHINGTON DC - Federal prosecutors investigating the 2001 anthrax attacks were planning to indict and seek the death penalty against a top Army microbiologist in connection with anthrax mailings that killed five people. The scientist, who was developing a vaccine against the deadly toxin, committed suicide this week.
The scientist, Bruce E. Ivins, worked for the past 18 years at the government's biodefense labs at Fort Detrick, Md. For more than a decade, he worked to develop an anthrax vaccine that was effective even in cases where different strains of anthrax were mixed, which made vaccines ineffective, according to federal documents reviewed by the AP.
U.S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the ongoing grand jury investigation, said prosecutors were closing in on Ivins, 62. They were planning an indictment that would have sought the death penalty for the attacks, which killed five people, crippled the postal system and traumatized a nation still reeling from the Sept. 11 attacks.
Authorities were investigating whether Ivins released the anthrax as a way to test his vaccine, officials said. The Justice Department has not yet decided whether to close the investigation, officials said, meaning it's still not certain whether Ivins acted alone or had help. One official close to the case said that decision was expected within days.
If the case is closed soon, one official said, that will indicate that Ivins was the lone suspect.
Ivins was "hounded" by aggressive FBI agents who raided his home twice, said Dr. W. Russell Byrne, a colleague who worked in the bacteriology division of the Fort Detrick research facility for 15 years. Byrne said Ivins was forcefully removed from his job by local police recently because of fears that he had become a danger to himself or others. The investigation led to Ivins being hospitalized for depression earlier this month, Byrne said.
He said he does not believe Ivins was behind the anthrax attacks.
Ivins died Tuesday at Frederick Memorial Hospital in Maryland. Tom Ivins, a brother of the scientist, told The Associated Press that his other brother, Charles, had told him that Bruce committed suicide and Tylenol might have been involved. The Los Angeles Times, which first reported that Ivins was under suspicion, said the scientist had taken a massive dose of a prescription Tylenol mixed with codeine.
The Fort Detrick laboratory and its specialized scientists for years have been at the center of the FBI's investigation of the anthrax mailings. In late June, the government exonerated a colleague of Ivins', Steven Hatfill. Hatfill's name has for years had been associated with the attacks after investigators named him a "person of interest" in 2002.
Unusual behavior by Ivins was noted at Fort Detrick in the six months following the anthrax mailings, when he conducted unauthorized testing for anthrax spores outside containment areas at the infectious disease research unit where he worked, according to an internal report. But the focus long stayed on Hatfill.
Ivins was the co-author of numerous anthrax studies, including one on a treatment for inhalation anthrax published in the July 7 issue of the journal Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy.
Henry S. Heine, a scientist who had worked with Ivins on inhalation anthrax research at Fort Detrick, said he and others on their team have testified before a federal grand jury in Washington that has been investigating the anthrax mailings for more than a year. He declined to comment on Ivins' death.
FBI vehicles with tinted windows had watched Ivins' home for a year, neighbor Natalie Duggan, 16, said.
"They said, 'We're on official business,' " she said.
Tom Ivins said Friday that federal officials working on the anthrax case questioned him about his brother a year and a half ago. "They said they were investigating him," he said from Ohio, where he lives, in a CNN interview.
The government paid Hatfill $5.82 million to settle a lawsuit contending he was falsely accused and had been made a scapegoat for the crimes.
"We are not at this time making any official statements or comments regarding this situation," said Debbie Weierman, a spokeswoman for the FBI's Washington field office, which is investigating the anthrax attacks, said Friday.
Five people died and 17 were sickened by anthrax powder in letters that were mailed to lawmakers' Capitol Hill offices, TV networks in New York, and tabloid newspaper offices in Florida. Two postal workers in a Washington mail facility, a New York hospital worker, a Florida photo editor and an elderly Connecticut woman were killed.
Wal-Mart warning managers of labor bill
NEW YORK - Wal-Mart Stores Inc said on Friday it has held meetings with U.S. store managers warning them of issues that could arise if Democrats win power and pass a law that would make it easier for workers to unionize, but stressed it was not telling workers how to vote.
Wal-Mart opposes proposed legislation called the Employee Free Choice Act, which would make it easier for workers to unionize by signing a card rather than holding a vote.
"We believe EFCA is a bad bill and we have been on record as opposing it for some time," Wal-Mart spokesman David Tovar said. "We feel educating our associates about the bill is the right thing to do."
The Wall Street Journal reported that about a dozen employees who attended meetings in seven states said executives told them employees would be required to pay hefty union dues and get nothing in return, and warned that unionization could force Wal-Mart to cut jobs as labor costs rise.
The Journal report said Wal-Mart human-resources managers who run the meetings do not specifically tell attendees how to vote in November's presidential election, but they make it clear that voting for Democratic presidential hopeful Senator Barack Obama would be tantamount to inviting unions in.
"If anyone representing Wal-Mart gave the impression we were telling associates how to vote, they were wrong and acting without approval," Tovar said.
Wal-Mart, which does not have a unionized U.S. workforce, has been the target of union-backed groups that criticize the retailer for everything from its pay practices to its health care benefits.

American Indians
My comment is to all the freeloading, lazy ass American Indians that think the U.S. Government and every other U.S. Citizen owes them something. NO WE DO NOT OWE YOU ANYTHING!!!!! GOT THAT! We humans no matter what race or ehnic background are all in this world together. Either pull your own weight in society or get the f back to the reservation. Get out of the way of all the people in this world that are hard working and bettering their lives, you just get in the way of the rest of us and you will get rolled over. If you are still mad about losing to the white man.......get over it, you lost! Do you think that you are honoring your ancestors and your people by being fat, lazy, drunk, stupid, freeloading fuckups?
Just to make myself clear I am not talking about all American Indians, just the ones I described above.

Museum: Civil War surrender document....
PHILADELPHIA PA - Officials at a small Civil War museum made an intriguing discovery while sifting through storage: A document long treated as a photo reproduction of the terms of Gen. Robert E. Lee's surrender appears, upon closer inspection, to contain actual signatures and date to 1865.
Museum officials believe they have one of the three original documents signed by representatives of the Union and Confederacy in Appomattox Court House, Va., on April 10, 1865, a day after Lee's surrender.
The National Park Service historian at Appomattox said it's more likely a souvenir copy signed by the same men at that time still a significant discovery, he said, even if it's not an official copy.
The Civil War & Underground Railroad Museum of Philadelphia has held the document since the early 20th century. It was pulled out of storage and re-evaluated as officials prepared for the museum's shutdown Saturday ahead of its move to a new building.
Curator Andrew Coldren said he is certain that museum officials knew what they had when the document was donated but its significance was forgotten over time because of a lack of record keeping.
In a 1967 inventory, someone wrote "Copy??" in reference to the document.
Coldren said it had been glued to a cardboard backing and varnished, an apparent attempt to preserve it.
"Old photostat copies from the '20s and '30s are shiny like that, so this is why you'd think this is not a real document," he said.
Coldren said museum officials examining the document recently noticed that the indentation of pens into the paper was visible. He said they also noticed that the ink on the document was darker and lighter in places, as would be expected with the pens used at the time. The lines on a photostat would be of consistent darkness.
"You can see where they're dipping the pen in to get more ink," he said.
Details of the terms and conditions of the surrender were worked out by six men the day after Lee and Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant agreed on the broad terms of the surrender.
Three copies were made, according to the memoir of Union Gen. John Gibbon, whom Grant put in charge of working out the details of the surrender.
Gibbon kept one copy, according to his memoir and a letter he wrote to the Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore when he donated his to the society. Another copy was sent to Grant's headquarters and is now in the National Archives.
By process of elimination, museum officials believe they have the Confederate copy.
Patrick A. Schroeder, historian at Appomattox Court House National Historical Park, said that while there were three official copies, "it doesn't mean that there weren't more copies made."
Schroeder, who saw a photograph of the document, said the stationery looks more like the paper soldiers used to write letters to their loved ones than the paper used for legal documents.
He suggested someone may have made a personal transcript of the document as a souvenir a common practice at the time then asked the six men to sign it.
"I would say it's probably a souvenir copy done at the time and signed at the time," Schroeder said.
Without knowing where the donor got the document, he said, it is hard to determine whether it is the official copy provided to the Confederacy. But he said it would be wonderful if that were confirmed.
"I hope it is," he said. "That would be great to have another mystery solved."
The document was donated to the museum by Bruce Ford, a wealthy businessman and son of a Union veteran. He joined the veterans' group that formed the museum around 1917, and the document was noted in an inventory in 1935. How Ford got the document is unknown.
New York memorabilia dealer Keya Morgan said if the document is indeed the missing third copy, what he called a "holy grail to Civil War collectors," it would be worth $500,000 to $700,000 at auction, even in its poor condition.
The museum hopes to receive a grant to pay the estimated $6,000 cost of restoring the document, said Sharon A. Smith, the museum's president and chief executive. Its new home, the former First Bank of the United States, the nation's central bank until the early 19th century, is scheduled to open in 2010.
re, the south shall rise again

Re: American Indians
EVERY Indian tribe practiced slavery via captured enemies. For some reason modern day historians tend to look upon that aspect of Native American life as 'their culuture'. But the white man owning slaves was a crime against humanity.
RE, Re: American Indians
IF anyone has a major problem with the way the Indians were treated then they should leave this country immediately. By not doing so you are just as guilty of occupying their lands as those you point a crooked finger at.
Re: re,re, American Indians
Very well said. Myself, I have never met a more hateful, bitter, drug addicted group of alcoholics in my life and all of their problems are somebody else's fault. They cry about losing their land yet if you go to the reservation it is trashed with junk vehicles and broken beer bottles. I think what they are really pissed off about is that the government confined their desire to spread filth across the country.
Remember that commercial from the seventies with the Indian crying over the littering. He was probably looking at his own back yard after one of his 40 year old living at home kids had a drinking party.

An Italian workman wants a job, but the bigoted foreman won't hire him until he
passes a little math test. "Here's your first question," the foreman said. "Without using numbers, represent the number 9."
"Withouta numbers?" the Italian says, "Datsa easy." and he proceeds to
draw three trees.
"What's this?" the boss asks.
"Ave you gota no brain? Tree and tree and tree makes a nine," says the
Italian.
"Fair enough," says the boss. "Here's your second question. Use the same
rules, but this time the number is 99."
The Italian stares into space for a while, then picks up the picture that he has just drawn and makes a smudge on each tree . "Ere you go."
The boss scratches his head and says, "How on earth do you get that to
represent 99?"
"Eacha of DA trees is a dirty now. So, it's dirty tree, and dirty tree, and dirty tree. Datsa a 99."
The boss is getting w orried that he's going to actually have to hire this Italian, so he says, "All right, last question. Same rules again, but represent the number 100."
The Italian stares into space some more, then he picks up the picture again and makes a little mark at the base of each tree and says, "Ere you go. One hundred."
The boss looks at the attempt. "You must be nuts if you think that
represents a hundred!"
The Italian leans forward and points to the marks at the base of each tree and says, "A little doga come along and shita by eacha tree. So now you gota dirty tree and a turd, dirty tree and a turd, and dirty tree and a turd, data makea one hundred. So, whenna I start?

ND towns unfazed by ICBM rocket booster in ditch...
BISMARCK, N.D. - There's plenty to talk about at the weekly women's coffee klatch in the small town of Parshall, and no one bothered to mention the unarmed booster rocket for an intercontinental ballistic missile lying in a ditch where an Air Force truck overturned.
"We talked about the oil boom, weddings everything under the sun," Arlene Zacher said Saturday. "But nobody ever mentioned that missile. I guess that shows that people aren't worried about it I'm certainly not."
The Air Force said a truck carrying the booster for a Minuteman III overturned Thursday a few miles east of Parshall in northwest North Dakota, but there was no danger to the public.
The truck and booster rocket, which is 66 feet long and weighs 75,000 pounds, were still sitting along the road Saturday, under armed guard.
"The scene is still in the assessment phase," said Maj. Laurie A. Arellano, an Air Force spokeswoman. "It's still on its side in the ditch."
Arellano said the wreck would stay there for a least a few more days.
"It has to be 100 percent stable for movement. It's not a quick process we have to make sure everything is stable first," Arellano said.
The truck was traveling from Minot Air Force Base to a launch facility in northwestern North Dakota when it crashed on the gravel road Thursday morning between Parshall and Makoti, about 70 miles from the air base. Two airmen in the vehicle were not seriously injured, the Air Force said.
Zacher said residents of Parshall, a town of about 1,000 people, are used to missiles being transported in the area, and they trust the Air Force.
"If there is a problem, they will take care of it," she said. "They do a very good job."
In Makoti, a farming community of about 145 people, Darwin Quandt said he wasn't worried.
"They're moving them things around all the time, so we're used to it," Quandt said.
"As long as it ain't going off, we're OK," he said. "And if it did, it wouldn't matter anyway."
Pollution curbs turn Beijing into urban laboratory -
BEIJING CHINA - Like everything else done for the Olympics, China's quest to clear up notoriously polluted skies in time for opening ceremonies this week has been marked by gargantuan effort.
In what scientists are calling the single largest attempt ever made to improve air quality, scores of heavily polluting factories were shut down and some 2 million vehicles were pulled off roads across Beijing and a huge swath of northern China an area roughly the size of Alaska. During the weekend, the hazy skies finally gave way to swirling blue.
Beijing's massive experiment with controlling pollution is offering international researchers a one-of-a-kind chance to study the large-scale effort in a uniquely urban laboratory.
"It has never been done before. I doubt it will be repeated. This is it. We've got a golden opportunity to fast-forward our research," said Veerabhadran Ramanathan, an atmospheric scientist from the University of California, San Diego, who is part of a multinational research project to track Beijing's pollution during and after the Olympics using unmanned drones, satellite data and ground-level readings.
He is one of dozens of scientists from around the world who are gathering in and around China to conduct experiments ranging from monitoring how pollution travels across continents to sampling particulate pollution over time to testing the impact of dirty air on cardiovascular functions.
Ramanathan said he first learned about China's plans to restrict cars and shut down factories last year from reading a newspaper article. As a scientist who studies pollution clouds over Asia, known as atmospheric brown clouds, he was thrilled to hear that China planned to cut back on pollution in a major way; in essence, conducting large-scale experiments he could observe.
"I immediately jumped off my seat. I thought, this is what I've been waiting for. I said, 'Thank God for the Olympics.' For me, this is 10 times better than winning the lottery," he said.
The Associated Press has been compiling its own pollution data since mid-July, recording snapshot readings of Beijing's worst pollutant tiny dust particles known as particulate matter 10 using a commercially available handheld monitoring device.
With China's polluted air ending up over Korea or landing in California, the data being collected now may have larger ramifications beyond these games. If China's efforts can be shown to have had a major impact, then other countries could consider taking similar actions.
Whether its current efforts actually result in clear skies for the Summer Games remains to be seen. Since the factory closures and traffic restrictions kicked in on July 20, Beijing's air pollution levels have gone up and down, though the general trend is decreasing.
What is increasingly clear is how much of a role meteorological conditions play in cutting down pollution.
"If Mother Nature cooperates, I expect there would be an impact. But it all depends on the wind directions," Veerabhadran said.
In the past two weeks, four days failed to meet the national air quality standard, with pollution levels classified as unhealthy for sensitive groups. On those days, the capital was cloaked in sweltering temperatures and a thick, grayish haze that reduced skyscrapers to ghostly outlines.
But strong winds and rainfall in the last week helped scatter much of the smog, giving Beijing residents a rare spate of sunshine and blue sky over the weekend. The air pollution index showed a decrease in pollutants, dropping to a level considered healthy by the World Health Organization.
The pollution levels are similar to findings that the Associated Press collected. Last Friday marked the clearest change visually, with the persistent haze giving way to clear skies and the lowest recorded air pollution levels. The AP's data showed that Beijing had lower levels of particulate matter than New York City on that day.
From a researcher's point of view, China's attempts to ensure blue skies for the Olympics are of huge scientific interest, said Staci Simonich, an associate professor of chemistry and toxicology at Oregon State University.
"It's a giant science experiment on air pollution. As far as I know, it's the biggest case where a city that had air quality problems took strong measures to improve air quality. They've taken it very seriously. It's exciting from a science standpoint," said Simonich, who is collaborating with Peking University professors to take samples of particulate matter.
Though Los Angeles and Atlanta both took measures to improve their air quality when they hosted the Olympics, neither city has had the same obstacles as the Chinese capital. "They didn't have to go to quite the extremes that Beijing has. Beijing has had to come a long way further than L.A. or Atlanta," she said.
If it can be proven that China's efforts made a major impact, then other countries may consider taking similar environmental actions, she said.
"It's not just about China. It's about megacities across the world. What's learned here can perhaps be applied to other cities," Simonich said.
Other scientists chose to focus on the health impact of the dirty air, a huge concern that was raised earlier by Olympic athletes. Several countries, including the U.S., has already said they will provide their athletes with an air mask that they have the option of using.
Qinghua Sun, an assistant professor at Ohio State University's College of Public Health, is working with two Chinese universities to collect data on the mechanics of how air pollution affects human health, especially cardiovascular diseases.
Sun, who will be conducting experiments on both mice and humans, said he is looking specifically at the impact of ultrafine particles, known as PM 2.5., on diabetic patients since preliminary data has shown that there is a clear link between cardiovascular disease and PM 2.5
"Hopefully, with our data, China can see the need to take a dramatic policy strategy to continue the good policies they conducted during the Games," he said.

Leaky toilet exposes corrupt China official
BEIJING, China - A former Chinese government official has been sentenced to death after a leaky toilet led police to a stash of cash he'd collected in bribes, state media reported.
Yan Dabin was the former director of transportation for Wushan County in southwest China. He was sentenced Friday for accepting bribes totaling 22.3 million yuan ($3.2 million) in exchange for awarding contracts for road and bridge construction, the news agency Xinhua said.
He was arrested after a resident called a police station to complain that water was leaking through the ceiling from the vacant apartment above. Yan owned the unit.
A police officer sent to help a maintenance worker enter the property discovered the cause of the overflowing toilet: eight soaked cardboard boxes containing 9.39 million yuan ($ 1.3 million), Xinhua said.
Yan's wife was sentenced to three years in prison after she was found guilty of laundering more than 9 million yuan ($ 1.3 million) in a series of house purchases, the news agency said.
Beijing has been trying to rein in corruption after a series of several highly-publicized corruption cases involving officials who steal.
Police: Bus beheading suspect ate victim's body

Christina Applegate battling breast cancer
what a shame, I loved her as Kelly Bundy on 'Married with Children.'
A University of Idaho researcher who worked on bioterrorism defenses faces deportation to Poland after being denied residency by U.S. immigration officials.
Katarzyna Dziewanowska was recruited by the university and worked 14 years but was told to stop in the spring of 2005 because of the immigration mess.
"I never tried to break the law," Dziewanowska, 64, told The Spokesman-Review of Spokane, Wash. "I tried to play according to the rules."
At the same time immigration officials were denying her authorization to work, Dziewanowska held an FBI clearance for research to counter possible terrorist attacks with the plague.
"She's a damn good scientist," said Patricia Hartzell, a biology and biochemistry professor and former dean of Dziewanowska's academic department. "She's really good."
Her husband, Witold Ferens, a University of Idaho researcher studying ways to fight diseases such as AIDS, can no longer receive grants because the couple are on a family application to remain in the U.S.
"These are the kind of people you want to kick out of the country?" said Michael Cherasia, Dziewanowska's former lawyer. "Somebody isn't thinking. They had the discretion to approve her petition, and they refused."
Immigration officials say Dziewanowska' application for permanent residency was rejected because she worked eight months without authorization in late 2004 and early 2005.
Dziewanowska arrived at the university in 1994 and worked on a visa for a few years, then was granted outstanding researcher status as a step toward applying for permanent residency, which she did in 2003 with the help of the university.
While immigration officials considered her application, she was required to apply annually for temporary work permits called employment authorization documents.
In the fall of 2004 her application for a permit was rejected because she had submitted a profile photo rather than a face-forward one as required under new rules. She sent a face-forward photo, but that was rejected because officials said it included glare on one lens of her glasses.
In a letter in September 2004, immigration officials wrote, "There is no appeal to this decision."
fuck everyone, I have civil rights , If I want to display pride I will......
I'm proud to be a White Male of European decent, I'm proud of the civilization my people helped build and I'm proud of how my tribe contributes today to everything good about America.
Just about the only decent countries on the planet are those where my people live. The mud people hate us because we are better than them, they have never produced a society worth living in, that's why they always flee and migrate to wherever Whites live, they live among us better than they ever could with their own but they still hate us and will try to kill us every chance they get.
We need to teach our children and ourselves to start respecting our collective identity. We need to stop letting the mud people get away with their lies about our identity. We need to stand together the way they do because they are trying to kill us off and they are killing America.
In US, gas prices mean more riders, fewer buses......
DENVER - High gas prices almost killed the lifeline to the city for a group of mountain commuters.
Park County bus riders recently had to plead with city officials to keep their route running, arguing that a daily 80-mile car trip would hurt riders financially.
"For many of our mountain commuters, it is the only form of transportation that these people have," said Pam Beckhorn, who leads a group dedicated to preserving the route along Highway 285.
Like their counterparts across the country, cash-strapped Colorado officials face a paradox: People are using public transportation more than ever, but higher fuel costs — and lower sales tax revenues are forcing municipalities to trim routes.
According to a May survey by the American Public Transportation Association, about one in five of the nation's transit agencies have cut service over the past year. They include Cleveland; Corpus Christi, Texas; and San Diego, which has seen one of the largest increases in bus ridership in the country.
The cutbacks come at a time of increasing interest in public buses and trains: The transportation association says people took 2.6 billion trips on public transportation nationwide in the first three months of 2008 almost 88 million more than last year.
The highest ridership increases came in light rail and commuter rail. In light rail, Baltimore, Minneapolis, St. Louis and San Francisco all saw double-digit percentage increases over the first quarter of 2007.
Double-digit percentage increases for commuter rail were posted in Oakland, Calif.; Harrisburg, Pa.; and Philadelphia, among others. Seattle's increase was almost 28 percent, APTA said.
Bonnie Arnold, with the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority, said the commuter rail system there saw a 46.7 percent more passengers in June than in June 2007.
"It's just been mind-boggling," she said.
Transit authorities are feeling the pinch of higher gas prices on both the expenditure and revenue sides of their budgets. They're paying more to fuel their buses and trains. At the same time, they're taking in fewer sales tax dollars an income source for many transit agencies because people are spending more at the pump and less on other items.
The Denver-area's transit system, which serves eight counties with a population of about 2.6 million, is on pace to carry 100 million passengers this year, a record in its 35-year history, said spokesman Scott Reed.
But the system will be about $6 million over budget this year on fuel. It budgeted for $2.62 per gallon but is paying $3.20, Reed said.
Fuel costs also make building materials needed to expand infrastructure more expensive, said Clarence W. Marsella, general manager and CEO of the Regional Transportation District.
"Everything that we do is being undermined by the fuel crisis," Marsella said. "It's really diabolical. The tentacles are everywhere."
Anticipating rising fuel costs, the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority cut 5 percent of its bus lines in December. The district's fuel spending will surpass $20 million this year, compared to $12 million in 2007, said a spokesman.
One option being considered is adding a fuel surcharge to fares. If approved, any changes would be implemented in early October, the spokesman said.
In Corpus Christi, the Regional Transportation Authority is running fewer buses, said spokeswoman Kristi Pena. In New York City, there is talk of subway and bus fare hikes.
The San Diego Metropolitan Transit System has reduced service, raised fares and laid off workers, said spokesman Rob Schupp. High fuel costs account for about $2 million of its $6.5 million deficit.
Denver's system is bracing for $5-a-gallon diesel prices in 2009. So the district has to cut or reduce service on its underperforming routes. That led to lobbying for the endangered route along Highway 285 during a recent meeting of the Regional Transportation District.
"You would put a lot of people out of work if you took their bus away from them," said engineer Martin Wirth, one of about 40 people at the meeting fighting to save the route.
Group members wore and gave board members T-shirts that read, "Go Green. Ride The Drive." They pleaded with the board to give them a chance to increase ridership.
In the end, the board voted to keep Route U, despite its $375,000 yearly cost. Supporters posed on a stairway for a celebratory picture.
"We are the little mouse that roared," Beckhorn said.
Israeli parents forget daughter at airport
JERUSALEM - Israeli airport police say a couple going on a European vacation remembered to bring their duty-free shopping and their 18 suitcases, but forgot their 3-year-old daughter at the airport.
The couple and their five children were late for a flight to Paris Sunday and made a mad dash to the gate. In the confusion, their daughter got lost. A policeman found her wandering around the terminal, crying for her mother.
Israeli media report Monday that the ultra-Orthodox Jewish parents, whose names were not released, didn't notice the child was missing until they were told, in the air, that she had been found at Ben-Gurion airport.
The child, accompanied by an airline staffer, took the next flight to Paris where she was safely reunited with her parents.
No matter when you check ANY Rants and Raves Board on CL it's the same shit and so DAMN predictable.

Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does.
You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.
You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility; I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.
If the Army & Marines are in IRAQ, it's because they want them in IRAQ.
If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way .
There are no insoluble government problems.
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.
They, and they alone, have the power.
They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees.
We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

The Ant & the Grasshopper in 2008 -
Two Different Versions! Two Different Morals!
OLD VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!
MODERN VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.
CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, Fox, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast.
How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so ?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green.'
Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, 'We shall overcome.' Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.
Nancy Pelosi and John Kerry exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.
Hillary Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama go on national television agreeing that the plight of the grasshopper is the fault of George Bush.
John McCain refuses to comment.
Al Sharpton demands legislation to end this racist immoral atrocity.
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.
The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.
Obama gets his old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges that Bill Clinton appointed froma list of single-parent welfare recipients.
The ant loses the case.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he doesn't maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow.
The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Be very careful how you vote in 2008
Remember ......
1) Don't vote for the Mulatto Muslim known as Barack Obama.
2) FUCK ALL YOU MEXICAN BASTARDS!
3) Always be kind to Gerbils.

Australia learned the hard way about immigration, as a result they have developed an immigration policy that we should immediately follow...
You must apply at the nearest Aussie Consulate or Embassy.
You MUST take a written test of about 100 words to prove you understand English.
This is followed up by a one hour interview in English only discussing your immigrant language skills, and what you can offer to Australia's economy, i.e. education, skilled labor, educator, etc.
If you pass these, you must take a physical and be in sound health and mind with no criminal record.
I know this because a friend of mind just went through this. He is Chinese in Singapore and he was educated in Australia and they still made him go through the whole process ....
Good for the Australians, they have finally woken up, now America - when will you wake up?

Missouri police call for tougher exotic animal laws after 2 tiger attacks.....
ST. LOUIS MO - Two tiger attacks this week at two different Missouri animal facilities that had both been cited for past problems have law enforcement officials calling for tougher exotic animal laws.
On Monday, a 16-year-old worker entered a tiger pen at the Predator World attraction in southwest Missouri to take pictures for a visitor and was attacked by three of the big cats. The boy, Dakota Ramel, remained in critical condition Tuesday at a Springfield hospital.
Just the day before, a separate tiger attack in eastern Missouri caused a 26-year-old volunteer to lose part of his leg. Jacob Barr's leg below the knee was amputated after he was attacked by a tiger Sunday at the Wesa-A-Geh-Ya animal facility in Warrenton. Barr was in satisfactory condition Tuesday at a St. Louis hospital.
Federal officials have pointed to problems at both facilities. A 2007 U.S. Department of Agriculture inspection at Predator World noted three instances of animals getting out of their pens: two wolves that escaped into the community; a grizzly bear that remained on the property but was able to kill a tiger; and a fox that was hit by a car.
The Wesa-A-Geh-Ya facility, which used to have a license to exhibit its animals through the USDA, surrendered that license in 2003 and then had it revoked after a number of violations involving animal care were alleged.
Critics say a patchwork of laws means no single agency in the state or nation is responsible for law enforcement and inspections related to exotic animals like large carnivores. One of the tiger owners, while deeply upset by the tiger attack, said she thinks existing regulations contributed to the problem.
Warren County Sheriff Kevin Harrison said he'd like the state to improve exotic animal laws, but in recent weeks he proposed changes at the county level.
"I think it's such a politically charged topic: What do you do with these exotic animals?" he said.
Both Harrison and Stone County Sheriff Richard Hill, where the other tiger attack took place, said in Missouri owners are supposed to register their exotic animals with their sheriff's department. But they said the law doesn't specify how soon after possessing an animal someone must register. The law also lacks requirements for proper enclosures, or how often the registration needs to be updated.
The Missouri Department of Conservation visits Wesa-A-Geh-Ya at least annually to check on animal species that are native to the state, like mountain lions, wolves and a bear — though the wolves at Wesa-A-Geh-Ya are Arctic wolves.
"There's never been any problem with them mistreating the animals or problems with the enclosures," said Dan Zarlenga, a spokesman for the Department of Conservation.
But the agency does not inspect animals not native to Missouri, like the tigers.
Sandra Smith, one of the owners of Wesa-A-Geh-Ya, said existing regulations are confusing and problematic. She said she had wanted to make cages more secure but was told she couldn't without a local permit.
"If there's going to be more regulations, put someone on the job who knows what they're doing," she said.
Smith said she's getting out of animal care altogether. She said she's started looking for new homes for the 49 animals on her property.
Harrison said Wesa-A-Geh-Ya owners needed to take responsibility for the tiger attack, saying they were the ones who decided to house wild animals on the site behind chain-link fences.
Predator World did not respond to requests for comment.
The USDA report on Predator World, provided to The Associated Press by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, notes that two of the previous animal incidents at the facility occurred during storms.
The fox escaped after a tree fell on its enclosure during an ice storm. The bear also escaped from its enclosure when a tree limb fell after a storm "allowing it to enter the enjoining enclosure and kill an adult female tiger."
Hill said that if exotic animal owners don't register the creatures, authorities will not have accurate, updated information about what potentially dangerous animals are residing in their counties during severe weather.

re. Pet Lovers
Here is my rant ----
You are always hearing about animals that need a home..
go to a shelter, adopt an animal...
so I went down, and these fucking idiots wanted $50.00.
Plus many of these animals are over yaer old.
Pets do not take to new owners well after one year old, stop listening to the bullshit animal lovers feed you about that crap!
WTF is this shit?
I can get a real dog from an owner for less money.
They tried to tell me that most of the pets are destroyed because they can't find homes for them...
DUH at $50.00 each I can see why!
Stop the con game and just put them all down.
I'll get my pet the old fashioned way becaise I'll be dammed if you asshoes are getting my $50.00...
you should be giving me $50.00 plus all the animals shots, a license, and a weeks worth of food to adopt one.

have you heard that Michelle Obama is really the daughter of drug addict James Brown...he gave her up at birth, kept her brother instead.
obamamama
Obama by rights of his father is a citizen of Kenya.
Obama has supported the past president of Kenya who is a socialist and believer of sharia law.
Obama is a support of preparations and wants more then just money, and he wants alot of money. Taking money from a perpertrator that doesnt exist and give it to a victom that dont exist??
I dont know of any slaves today or any masters today, or is it just an excuse to take money from the whites and give it to the blacks??
Is it an exa,ple of equality, not in bringing up the blacks but taking the whites down to the blacks level??
Obama is for change! Several another young politician was for change too, he rallied the people and got the backing and the more he yelled for change, the more the people yelled "Viva Fidel". They got their change, do you wnat yours?
How do you like your coffee?
Just like Michelle Obama black and bitter.

Buyers beware, A good friend of mine called on a Buckskin Gelding at a horse rescue in North Phoenix/ Scottsdale area. After driving an hour out of his way, (showing up way earlier than he was told). He was told the horse was sold. He went ahead and looked at some other horses (club footed). He noticed the Buckskin was there, he asked if that was the buckskin for sale and she said yes, but the buyers hadn't showed up yet to pick the horse up. He called a friend to call the number to see if the horse was sold. The rescue said no that they still had the buckskin gelding.......
Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! They have one good horse and they use that one to lure buyers into the other horses that have faults.... My friend drove 75 miles out of his way and that's the thanks he gets........

The liberal democrats have been trying to stop cheap energy all along. Every time someone comes up with some cheap energy they block and postpone it till it dies out just like Nancy Pelosi just did before recess. They are wanting high energy prices cause a lot of them own stock in the energy companies and they will collect more tax on higher prices. The idiots only know how to make government work if they are taxing the hell out of us. Notice how the minute they took over the house/senate fuel drastically shot up and now that the conservatives have been pushing for drilling here the fuel prices are dropping like crazy. I will only vote for a politician who is willing to drill here and the only one who truly will do this is McCain. In the beginning Obama said he was against offshore drilling but now he's for it, another one of his flip flop deals. Check out the vid as it tells you some of what's up currently!

You want change, with oObama you will get change and it will not be what you wanted!

He / She is opting to purchase a pet through a private owner. This how I have always purchase mine!
Thus any argument about a breeder or doggie store at the mall being expensive is bullshit because it doesn't apply.
Also I support the posters point of view - they are simply pointing out the fact that our tax dollars go for this bullshit, plus the P.E.T.A. maniacs want animal rights over human rights including banning the eating of any meat, poultry, or fish - PETA can kiss my ass....
add that to the fact animal lovers always complain pets are put to death because there are no homes for them, NO adoptions - if they were all that concerned, the animal nuts would wave the fees, and make everything possible for a pet to be adopted.
Also, I have owned many dogs. It is true that if the dog is over a year-old it is accustom to certain things, i.e. getting on the furniture, sleeping in the owners bed, being an inside dog, etc. - - NONE of these do I allow. So training a dog over a year old is difficult, and often results in the dog being returned to the pound.
SO - try reading the post before you jump on someone, although you animal nuts are blind to anything but your point of view. I am sure you wont read this post thoroughly either!

I paid over $2500 for a beautiful sweet horse, but cannot ride. I brought him home and he has been lame ever since. (drugs wore off) Found out all the history was a lie! I have proof!! She gets most of the horses from sale barn but acts as though she has had them in training or "lesson" horses for awhile.... says she needs hay money or downsizing..... thus the "good" price....
Said would buy back horse if not happy..LIE....

I will never bow to them. I am not OK with religious psychopaths who treat women like dogs, who murder homosexuals, who want to control every second of a persons life with their insane theocracy. America was founded to escape all of that, and now so called liberals and progressives are being duped (via multiculturalism & diversity brainwashing) into supporting the very people who will end up killing them ?

You have come to this country illegally....
Why should we allow you to stay in this great country. You have already shown us that you have no reguard for our laws. If you want to imigrate to America then do so with the proper papers. You have lots of options, the imigration process is the method we use to prevent the criminal element into our country.

MTA Anti-Groping Subway Campaign an Assault on Male Dignity
The New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority is beginning a new campaign to raise awareness of sexual harassment on the subway in the hopes of reducing the number of incidents. Highlighting the need for such a campaign, WCBS news, the Daily News and other media outlets have cited a 2007 study which found that 63% of women reported being sexually harassed and 10% saying they had been sexually assaulted while on the subway.
Based on this shocking statistic, it would seem that there is an epidemic of male molesters running amok in the Big Apple's underground. There's only one problem - the statistic is totally unreliable.

Same thing....and we still have some of the same people in congress 30-40 years later!!!! When I was going to college in the midwest they closed school for 6 weeks during the winter because they couldn't afford to heat the buildings. (however it was really cold for 30+ days....like the high was ZERO! LOL) So this energy thing is the same old story. If congress would have done something back in the 70's when the KNEW there was a problem we would be having this issue today!!!!!

DO YOU KNOW WHY EATING CHINESE PUSSY IS SO GOOD?
BECAUSE YOU EAT IT AND AN HOUR LATER YOU WANT TO EAT IT AGAIN
Relative of US Olympic coach killed in Beijing....
BEIJING - A knife-wielding Chinese man attacked two relatives of a coach for the U.S. Olympic men's volleyball team at a tourist site in Beijing, killing one and injuring the other on the first day of the Olympics on Saturday, team officials and state media said.
The man then committed suicide by throwing himself from the second story of the site, the 13th century Drum Tower just five miles from the main Olympics site.
The brutal attack shortly after midday was all the more shocking because of the rarity of violent crime against foreigners in tightly controlled China, which has ramped up security measures even more for the Olympics.
The stabbing came only hours after what by many accounts was the most spectacular opening ceremony in Olympic history and it has already dampened some of the enthusiasm.
"They are deeply saddened and shocked," Darryl Seibel, a spokesman for the U.S. Olympic Committee, said of the volleyball team.
The U.S. Olympic Committee said in a statement that two family members of a coach for the men's indoor volleyball team were stabbed at the Drum Tower "during an attack by what local law enforcement authorities have indicated was a lone assailant."
One of the family members was killed and the other was seriously injured, it said, without giving details.
The official Xinhua News Agency identified the attacker as Tang Yongming, 47, from the eastern city of Hangzhou. It said Tang attacked the two Americans and their Chinese tour guide, who was also injured, at 12:20 p.m. on the second level of the ancient tower, then leapt to his death immediately afterward. The second level of the tower is about 130 feet high.
Seibel said the two Americans who were attacked were not wearing anything that would have identified them as Americans or part of the U.S. team. He could not name the coach.
"They were not wearing apparel or anything that would have specifically identified them as being members of our delegation" or as Americans, he told The Associated Press.
He said it is "too early to say" whether the U.S. delegation or athletes will require additional security.
U.S. Embassy spokesman Richard Buangan said it was aware of an incident involving two Americans and was working with Chinese authorities to find out more. He said U.S. officials were in contact with relatives of the two Americans who are in Beijing.
"Out of respect for the families involved, we can't say more than that," Don Q. Washington, another embassy spokesman, told reporters.
Police blocked off streets leading to the Drum Tower immediately after the attack and cordoned off the area with yellow police tape. Security officers were examining the scene on the tower and below.
Attacks on foreigners in China are extremely rare. A Canadian model was murdered last month in Shanghai, but police said that was because she stumbled onto a burglary.
In March, a screaming, bomb-strapped hostage-taker who commandeered a bus with 10 Australians aboard in the popular tourist city of Xi'an was shot to death by a police sniper.
Shanghai and Beijing are still safer than most foreign cities of their size. Punishments for crimes against foreigners are heavier than for crimes against Chinese, and police-linked neighborhood watch groups are highly vigilant. Chinese are not allowed to own guns.
Even so, the U.S. government now warns Americans against muggings, beatings and even carjackings, especially in the nightlife and shopping districts of large cities.
Built in the 13th century, the Drum Tower is one of the few ancient structures still in Beijing, and was used to tell time in imperial China for the city, using drummers who pounded their instruments to mark the hours. It is located on an important central axis of the city, to the north of the Forbidden City, the former home of the emperor.
The White House said President Bush, who is in Beijing for the opening days of the games, was informed of the incident, and his heart goes out to the families of the victims. It said the administration and the Beijing U.S. embassy have offered those families any assistance they need. Also, U.S. officials have been speaking to Chinese authorities about the incident.
International Olympic Committee spokeswoman Emmanuelle Moreau said in a statement that the committee had received reports of the attack and was in contact with Beijing Games organizers "to find out full details, and are ready to provide whatever assistance we can."

All these great leaders sound so promising, and so proud during speeches, but what really changes? I am not just talking about current events, I am talking about a lot of them. I have taken a look around and I have to say that it is becoming a joke out there in the political world.

Explosions rock restive Chinese region...
URUMQI, China - Several explosions rocked a county in a restive region of western China early Sunday, killing at least two people and seriously injuring several others, hospital and state media said.
The explosions occurred amid tightened security after an attack here last week left 16 border police dead and 15 others wounded in the Muslim region of Xinjiang.
The early morning blasts occurred in Kuqa county in Xinjiang's south, said a woman who was on duty at Kuqa People's Hospital's emergency unit.
"There were several explosions in several places in the county seat of Kuqa this morning and we heard them from the hospital," said the woman, who would only give her last name, Tian.
One man was confirmed dead upon arrival at the hospital while several other people were in critical condition, she said.
The official Xinhua News Agency said at least two people were killed, and cited witnesses as saying they saw flashes of fire and heard gun shots after the blasts. Xinhua said police have sealed off the area where the explosions occurred and troops have been deployed.
A man who answered the phone at the county's public security bureau hung up when asked about the explosions. Repeated calls to the bureau later rang unanswered.
The latest violence comes after two Americans closely linked to the U.S. Olympic volleyball team were stabbed, one fatally, in a bizarre attack Saturday in the Chinese capital on the first day of the Beijing games.
Normally tight security in Xinjiang was increased in the past week after the fatal attack on border police in the city of Kashgar Monday. The assailants rammed a stolen truck into the group before tossing homemade bombs and stabbing them.
On Thursday, a videotape was released threatening attacks during the Olympics. The videotape was purportedly made by the Turkistan Islamic Party, a Muslim group believed to be based across the border in Pakistan, where security experts say core members have received training from al-Qaida.
Xinjiang is a large, rugged territory — one-sixth of China's land mass — that is home to the Uighurs, a Muslim minority with a long history of tense relations with the Chinese. The Uighurs, with a population of about 8 million, have complained that the Communist government has been restricting their religion and Turkic culture.
Beijing has accused Uighur groups of using terrorism in a violent campaign to split Xinjiang from the rest of the country. China's state-run media have reported sporadic bombings, shootings and riots in the territory over the years, but the dispatches are often sketchy and difficult to verify.
Xinhua said the pre-dawn explosions Sunday rocked the downtown area of Kuqa, 460 miles from Urumqi, the regional capital. Kuqa, a county of 400,000 people, is a popular tourist destination in Xinjiang and is rich in oil and gas resources.
No other details were immediately known.
Spanish shopkeeper finds Homer Simpson euro.....
MADRID (Reuters) - A one euro coin has turned up in Spain bearing the face of cartoon couch potato Homer Simpson instead of that of the country's king, a sweetshop owner told Reuters on Friday.
Jose Martinez was counting the cash in his till in the city of Aviles, northern Spain, when he came across the coin where Homer's bald head, big eyes and big nose had replaced the serious features of King Juan Carlos.
"The coin must have been done by a professional, the work is impressive," he told Reuters.
The comical carver had not taken his tools to the other side of the coin displaying the map of Europe. So far, no other coins of the hapless, beer-swilling oaf have been found in circulation.
"I've been offered 20 euros for it," said Martinez.

The American public and the Muslim Religion
I suggest that you start your research on Muslims by talking to Muslims who converted to Christainity. What they will tell you is that they left the Mosques because of the hate that was preached to them starting at a very young age. They could accept that God was a god of hate so they turned to Christianity to find hope and answers. What they say they found in Christainity was a God of love and compassion far different than the god of hate Muslims call Allah. If you do your research well and what you will find is hate is being preach to Muslims in mosques all around the world. I`m not making a pitch for Christainity nor am I a believer in Jesus Christ I`m just relaying what has been told to me by former Muslims who are now Christains. Do some more research and come back when you get your facts straight.

Mexico shakes down US Citizens, impounds their vehicles ....
MEXICO CITY - A Mexican border city has begun fining U.S. drivers who cross the border to fill extra drums, tanks or barrels with government-subsidized Mexican fuel.
The city of Ciudad Acuna, across the border from Del Rio, Texas, said Friday that it fined four U.S. residents for carrying extra diesel and would impound their cars until they pay. The fines equal 70 percent of the value of the diesel confiscated.
Mexico, one of the world's top 10 oil producers, sells diesel fuel domestically at subsidized prices of about US$2.25 per gallon, about half the U.S. price.
Mexican filling stations near the U.S. border have seen an increase in American drivers who cross over to fill up. Mexican truckers and drivers complain the run on fuel is causing temporary shortages and longer lines for them.

The U.S. Army paid Iraqis $2.8 billion over five years......
Report: US using 'money as a weapon' in Iraq -
WASHINGTON DC - A U.S. Army program in which soldiers pay cash to Iraqis to help with expenses, large and small, has spent $2.8 billion in five years, The Washington Post reported Monday.
The Post reviewed records of the Commander's Emergency Response Program, which was intended for short-term humanitarian relief and reconstruction. The field manual laying out the guidelines for the program is called "Money as a Weapon System," pointing up the effectiveness of cold hard cash in winning over the hearts and minds of Iraqi civilians.
The largest sum of CERP money, $596.8 million, was spent on water and sanitation projects, the Post reported. Three other categories each received more than $300 million: electricity, protective measures (such as fencing and guards), and transportation and roads.
But the Army also spent lesser sums on smaller acts of largesse, including $48,000 for children's shoes; $50,000 for 625 sheep; $100,000 for dolls; and $500,000 for action figures designed to look like Iraqi security forces, the Post reported.
Scientists closer to developing invisibility cloak.....
WASHINGTON DC - Scientists say they are a step closer to developing materials that could render people and objects invisible.
Researchers have demonstrated for the first time they were able to cloak three-dimensional objects using artificially engineered materials that redirect light around the objects. Previously, they only have been able to cloak very thin two-dimensional objects.
The findings, by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, led by Xiang Zhang, are to be released later this week in the journals Nature and Science.
The new work moves scientists a step closer to hiding people and objects from visible light, which could have broad applications, including military ones.
People can see objects because they scatter the light that strikes them, reflecting some of it back to the eye. Cloaking uses materials, known as metamaterials, to deflect radar, light or other waves around an object, like water flowing around a smooth rock in a stream.
Metamaterials are mixtures of metal and circuit board materials such as ceramic, Teflon or fiber composite. They are designed to bend visible light in a way that ordinary materials don't. Scientists are trying to use them to bend light around objects so they don't create reflections or shadows.
It differs from stealth technology, which does not make an aircraft invisible but reduces the cross-section available to radar, making it hard to track.
The research was funded in part by the U.S. Army Research Office and the National Science Foundation's Nano-Scale Science and Engineering Center.

Most companies in US avoid federal income taxes.....
WASHINGTON DC - Two-thirds of U.S. corporations paid no federal income taxes between 1998 and 2005, according to a new report from Congress.
The study by the Government Accountability Office, expected to be released Tuesday, said about 68 percent of foreign companies doing business in the U.S. avoided corporate taxes over the same period.
Collectively, the companies reported trillions of dollars in sales, according to GAO's estimate.
"It's shameful that so many corporations make big profits and pay nothing to support our country," said Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., who asked for the GAO study with Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich.
An outside tax expert, Chris Edwards of the libertarian Cato Institute in Washington, said increasing numbers of limited liability corporations and so-called "S" corporations pay taxes under individual tax codes.
"Half of all business income in the United States now ends up going through the individual tax code," Edwards said.
The GAO study did not investigate why corporations weren't paying federal income taxes or corporate taxes and it did not identify any corporations by name. It said companies may escape paying such taxes due to operating losses or because of tax credits.
More than 38,000 foreign corporations had no tax liability in 2005 and 1.2 million U.S. companies paid no income tax, the GAO said. Combined, the companies had $2.5 trillion in sales. About 25 percent of the U.S. corporations not paying corporate taxes were considered large corporations, meaning they had at least $250 million in assets or $50 million in receipts.
The GAO said it analyzed data from the Internal Revenue Service, examining samples of corporate returns for the years 1998 through 2005. For 2005, for example, it reviewed 110,003 tax returns from among more than 1.2 million corporations doing business in the U.S.
Dorgan and Levin have complained about companies abusing transfer prices amounts charged on transactions between companies in a group, such as a parent and subsidiary. In some cases, multinational companies can manipulate transfer prices to shift income from higher to lower tax jurisdictions, cutting their tax liabilities. The GAO did not suggest which companies might be doing this.
"It's time for the big corporations to pay their fair share," Dorgan said.

God grants his wish
A man was riding his Harley along a California beach when suddenly the
sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, the Lord said, 'Because you have tried to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish.
'The biker pulled over and said, 'Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride over anytime I want.
'The Lord said, 'Your request is materialistic, think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking; the supports required reaching the bottom of the Pacific and the concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your
desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something that could possibly help mankind.'
The biker thought about it for a long time. Finally, he said, 'Lord, I wish that I and all men could understand women; I want to know how she feels inside, what she's thinking when she gives me the silent treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says nothing's wrong,
and how I can make a Woman truly happy.
'The Lord replied, 'You want two or four lanes on that bridge?

Rave: I Have The Perfect Answer If You Are Tired Of Cox Cable!!!!
I agree, I have Direct TV now and like it much better. The worst that happens now is they hit the pirate cards and I reset my receiver now and then. I LOVE MY TIVO!!!! No more stupid ass commercials!!!
I used to work for Cox and quit for a better job. Left on good terms. Had one boss in the past that I didn't get along with. So just for that one ass hole I've been black balled from ever going back. Ignore the fact that I saved them hundreds of thousands of dollars. Just make one guy not like you and the pre-madonna ass holes won't have you back.
And their billing? Holy crap batman! When I was employed there I had more people approach me for billing issues it wasn't even funny. That department has been effed up from day one from what I understand. I was embarrassed to wear the shirt in public when I was off work!
some military truisms....
1. You can do everything right, have the most up to date gear, but when your number is up, It's up and you will still go home in a body bag.
2.There are no rules in war. They will tell you about the rules of engagement, But when you first make contact with your foe...all that shit goes out the window, and its kill or be killed. It's called the fog of war and a whole lot of shit happens and goes unreported ..... period! Now you stinking liberals get over it, and learn to live with the truth.
3. You don't fight for your country. Your country is in your mind before combat. You fight for yourself and the guy next to you and he does the same.
4. Smart weapons are good. But it is boots on the ground that have to take real estate and say "We now own this mother" And we have won!
re, military truisms....
Never be first, last, or volunteer.
You better learn to live without:
air for 3 minutes
water for 3 days
food for 1 week
Never give an order you know will not be obeyed.
No detailed well thought out plan survives first contact with the enemy.
Learn to Scavenge:
beg, borrow and steal what you need
the enemy has it, take it
civilians have it steal it.
If you can't carry it on your back, you don't own it and you don't need it.
It todays insane military with news coverage everywhere, carry an enemy weapon for those close-up and personal moments that may cause you a court martial later. Once used, discard it.
Craigslist, You Suck
Hey Craigslist,
I have not slammed my fist into my desk in anger in over 43 years, and I am only 28 years old, however I have just done so for the first time because I hate you Craigslist. Let's not get into the boring details of why I hate you, involving you promising that you switched the stupid photo of my stupid chair when you were clearly lying, as evidenced by my checking from a different computer, but no, you're SMARTER than me Craigslist, you PROMISE that it will work, then when it doesn't even after I repost 6 times then delete my ad and resubmit, IT IS TOO SIMILAR TO AN EXISTING POST, CRAIGSLIST, EVEN WHEN I TRY TO CHANGE ALL THE WORDS AROUND and now my hand hurts and I wasted half my night, plus the Drudge Report gave away whether Phelps won another gold medal, for the second night in a row.
So get lost, Craigslist

Mexican Nationals Fraudulently Join Native American Tribe to Facilitate Drug Smuggling and Human Trafficking
According to an established source with indirect access, some of whose reporting has been corroborated over the past year, after abusing loosened tribal enrollment standards to join the Kickapoo Tribe in Mexico, Mexican nationals have recently exploited Native American tribal membership and associated US travel privileges to engage in drug smuggling and human trafficking.
To facilitate these crimes, some have borrowed Kickapoo-licensed tribal cars, which, owing to the dual US and Mexican citizenship of Kickapoo members, can travel to and from Mexico with minimal border inspection.
Corrupt Kickapoo officials have previously sold tribal memberships, and memberships can currently be purchased for as little as $25.
The Kickapoo tribe has bands in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and Mexico and
wellestablished
communities in Eagle Pass, Texas and El Nacimiento, Coahuila, Mexico. The
Headquarters of the Kickapoo tribe of Oklahoma is near McLoud, Oklahoma
An illegal alien from Mexico, Pedro Espinoza, allegedly asked that of Jamiel Shaw Jr., 17 before Espinoza shot and killed him.
Shaw, a promising high-school student athlete wooed by Stanford and Rutgers, was gunned down at 8:40 p.m. just three doors from his Los Angeles home, where his father, Jamiel Shaw Sr., awaited his arrival from the mall. Shaw's mother, Anita, learned the news of her son's March 2 shooting death while serving as an Army sergeant in Iraq.
Edwin Ramos, an illegal alien from El Salvador, on June 22 allegedly gunned down and killed Tony Bologna and his sons Michael, 20, and Matthew, 16. The Bologna family, coming back from a barbecue in their SUV, apparently blocked Ramos' car in a San Francisco intersection. According to reports, after the Bologna vehicle backed up and let the Ramos car pass by, Ramos allegedly opened fire on the family.
The common factor in these killings, as with so many others: The alleged killers came to the country illegally. Federal officials estimate that 40,000 of the 170,000 inmates held in Los Angeles County jails each year are illegal immigrants. And in the cases of Espinoza and Ramos, the police had previously arrested each and for reasons that remain unclear the authorities either never referred the arrested alien to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for deportation or ICE failed to institute deportation proceedings.
Before Shaw's murder, Espinoza had been arrested by Culver City police and served time in a Los Angeles County jail for assault with a deadly weapon. Jamiel Shaw was killed the day after Espinoza's release from jail.
Five years ago, 17-year-old Ramos was convicted and sent to a juvenile shelter for severely beating a suspected rival gang member. After serving a few months, Ramos was released to his mother for probation. Four days after that, he attempted to mug a pregnant woman. Ramos was convicted of attempted robbery and sent to a juvenile camp.
After Ramos turned 18, federal authorities learned of his illegal status when he applied and was rejected for legal residency. The illegal alien then married a U.S. citizen and applied for permanent residency the case still pending when the Bolognas were killed.

so long mexican co-worker
I work four days a week for a local government office. This mexican works the other three. I have more seniority then him and know that he's been getting into trouble for not doing his job (a mexican not doing his job! say it ain't true!). Anyways, I'm going to request that my schedule be changed which will result in "Jose" having to work a weekend. Jose will not work a weekend and my boss won't/can't hire someone to work one weekend. If that's not enough, I'm going to replace one of my weekends with his days. Therefore, if my boss doesn't fire him he'll only be down to two days a week! I'm quitting in a few months anyways but I wanted to get rid of this affirmative action hire for awhile.
New robot has biological brain made from rat neurons......
Scientists have created a robot controlled by a biological brain made of rat neurons.
The robot, named Gordon, is not exactly an Einstein but represents a remarkable bridging of the gap between biology and technology. Gordon relies a dish with about 60 electrodes to pick up electrical signals generated by the brain cells.
The brain drives the robot's movements.
Every time the robot nears an object, signals are directed to stimulate the brain by means of the electrodes, the researchers explained in a statement released today by the University of Reading in England. In response, the brain's output drives the robot's wheels left and right, so that it moves around in an attempt to avoid hitting objects.
The robot has no additional control from a human or a computer, the scientists state. Its sole means of control is from its own brain.
"This new research is tremendously exciting as firstly the biological brain controls its own moving robot body, and secondly it will enable us to investigate how the brain learns and memorizes its experiences," said the university's Kevin Warwick of the School of Systems Engineering. "This research will move our understanding forward of how brains work, and could have a profound effect on many areas of science and medicine."
The researchers aim to get the robot to learn, by applying different signals as it moves into predefined positions. That might allow them to witness how memories manifest themselves in the brain when the robot revisits familiar territory. They hope the work will eventually lead to a better understanding of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, stroke and brain injuries.
"One of the fundamental questions that scientists are facing today is how we link the activity of individual neurons with the complex behaviors that we see in whole organisms," said Ben Whalley, a pharmacist at the university and member of the team that built Gordon. "This project gives us a really unique opportunity to look at something which may exhibit complex behaviors, but still remain closely tied to the activity of individual neurons. Hopefully we can use that to go some of the way to answer some of these very fundamental questions."
The project was funded by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.

When I met Mr. Coffee, nobody told me I’d be changing his diaper every single day just so that I could get my buzz on!
It has become all part of the daily grind, after he burps out the final drops of the day’s brew. I feel that doing it 2x a day is an excessive interruption while I prepare my TPS reports for the next day’s meeting.
I will confess to being a part-time Caffiend and part-time gadgetaholic. Mr. Coffee has been served an eviction notice, as I have already purchased and installed a programmable coffee maker + the requisite webcam to identify the person in our office who pours a full cup and leaves about a quarter inch of coffee in the pot --- without making a fresh one for everyone to share.
So, off you go, Mr. Coffee: to Whomever wishes to adopt you, the paperwork has already been completed on your behalf. Simply give him a ride back to your place. He’s already trained and well-seasoned for tomorrow’s coffee shift. He's had no surgery to date. He’s thumbing a ride near the front door of the Capitola DMV.
I’ll miss you, Mr. Coffee.
And, I never even knew your first name…

The 2008 Craigslist M4M Liars Dictionary:
*Swimmer’s Build: Term used to describe the physique of someone who has probably never swam a lap or played organized sports in his life. Generally means "I’m not fat, but I’m not ripped and muscular, and so I must have a swimmer’s build".
*Beefy (aka husky, cub, bear): Fat ass. The prevalence of these people are the reason you can never find size 30 slacks in a department store.
*Jock: Someone who tries very hard to be manly but probably is deathly afraid of sports and anything physical outside of the Castro steamroom and the Berkeley Steamworks. Most men who actually do play sports would refer to themselves as "athletic".
*Str8 (aka Str8 Acting): Man who lives in a parallel universe where jonesin' for cock is not considered gay. Deludes himself with "Pump my ass and work my dick, boy. It’s cool because I’ve got a GF". These men are a bane to those who are honest about their sexuality.
*Girlfriend (aka GF, wife): A fictitious creature alleged to be had by many men in M4M. GF’s are most commonly known to be "asleep", "shopping" or "out of town". Discussion of the GF is intended to bolster intrigue, as in "Cool, this dude usually fucks chicks but now he wants me" among gay men with low self-esteem.
*8X5 cut: A circumcised penis that is 6 inches long and about 4 inches in circumference.
*PNP (aka Party and Play): Term used to describe the combination of a drug binge (usually crystal meth or “T”) and sex. Emphasis is usually on the "party", as this is usually used as a low-grade form of prostitution and participants usually will have a hard time performing sexually. Synonymous with transmission of sexual diseases.
*Vers/Top: Person who wishes to convey the illusion that you will actually get yours without having to jack off on your own. May suck your dick poorly for about 30 seconds before becoming a greedy sex pig.
*Married: Deluded man who is intent on ruining not only his own life, but the life of a spouse and possible children through his patent dishonesty. So hot!
*BB (aka Bareback, Raw, Natural): "I have diseases that will probably kill me and you, but I don't care because I'm on a death trip and want to live for the moment until I become poz and have to take meds".
*Poz (aka HIV+): Man who deserves a medal for being honest about his potential to transmit a dangerous virus and is generally looking to have sex with other poz guys.

I Got Fired Today
I'm packing... found a lot of nothing. It hit me that I never really did "set up shop" like everyone else there at work had. You go into some cubes where the ladies have fuzzy arm sleeves for their chairs, hand-knitted blankets for their lap, a plethora of family/friends photos, personal lamps, small fish bowls, and enough plants sitting around to open up a plant nursery. Me? Well, I found the belongings that I had accumulated over five years:
*Microwave pop-corn (take your pick, I have 4 flavors ranging from "Movie Theatre Butter" to Kettle!)
*43 packets of Taco Bell's Mild sauce
*12 packets of Morton's Salt
*5 packets of pepper
*3 packets of mustard
*1 can of Campell's Chunky Beef Barley
*3 Cup of Noodles (beef flavor)
*2 Top Ramen Packs (beef flavor again)
*a box of Quaker Oatmeal "Weight Control" (yeah, no interest... lady a work gave it to me 2 yrs ago)
*4 boxes of Girl Scout cookies that I bought months ago (Thin Mint, Samoas, Peanut Butter Patties)
*1 white bowl and tons of plasticware
*and finally, travel and financial magazines dating back to 2006.

To my neighbor who I saw pooping in his yard yesterday
I saw you couched down with your pants around your ankles. I asked "Hey, what are you doing?". Your reply was "Pooping in a groundhog hole! I read about it online. It's suppose to trick the groundhog into thinking another animal has moved into it's lair.".
Since you are normally a sane person I refrained from calling the police.
Shocked by my cucumber...
Look. English cucumbers go for $1.50 each at the Midvale Harmon's on 7th East. That's right. Each.
So while you were standing next to me gawking as I tried to find the biggest, individually, shrink-wrapped English cucumber, I thought I would just politely explain why I was being so picky. It struck me afterwards why you might have been a bit traumatized, Mr. Three Cans of Rock Star energy drink, 4 donuts, and one tub of potato salad, after I told you that "size really does matter, you know..."
$1.50 each! That means I pay the same for a short, stubby one. A crooked, bumpy one. A long, firm one. A soft, mushy one. An average-lengthed, chubby one... So yes, if I pay the same no matter what, I wanted a long, chubby, firm English cucumber for the money, thankyouverymuch.
But if you aren't too traumatized from our interaction, I'm single (and I'm guessing you are too, Mr. Three Cans of Rock Star, 4 donuts, and one tub of potato salad). Come on over and I'll feed you. Care for a salad? I can omit the cucumber...

Ferocious Attack Kitten
Yes, we have available a 'ferocious attack kitten' for adoption to any home willing to accept him.
This destructive kitty has been trained as a proud warrior and will fiercely defend your house, even against you. Well-trained since 10-weeks of age to attack anything in his presence, he will protect your family from evil things, including the following:
* insects
* other trained attack kittens
* babies
* toilet paper
* anything under a blanket
* unwanted house guests
* paper bags
* floor rugs
* Chuck Norris
* Feet.
Great with children (assuming you don’t like the children). Probably best used for professional catfighting. He is housebroken, but only because he wants to be. This attack cat has trained himself to seek out his food anywhere you hide it and rip the bag open to feed himself, great for those who travel extensively. Also trained to drink water out of toilet bowls and dishwater from items in the sink. Knows how to open some doors. He will find you wherever you hide.
Neutered (trust me, you wont want to him to procreate). Has not been declawed, but you'll figure that out really fast.
Understands and responds to a variety of vulgar and profane verbal commands. Has a very soft and furry belly, like a teddy bear - however he will bite your face if you try to touch it.
Willing to accept trades. Potential adopters must have experience with trained attack-kittens... please be prepared to show scars.
For the love of God, someone please take this thing out of my house.

To the cute microbiologist who's gonna examine my stool....
Hi.
Well if you're reading this, you already know it's you. I walked into the lab today because of chronic diarrhea, and they called you specifically to take care of my case. You were so cute when you said I had abnormally huge taste buds. When you said you had to have another look at the back of my throat, it was obvious you just wanted to see their freaky fatness once more, and I called you on it. You then turned completely red, and I don't know if it was because of my grossly exaggerated yet founded accusations or because I wasn't wearing a bra and you left me waiting for like 45 minutes in an industrial AC powered office.
You're gonna be growing five different cultures from my stool in the next week and I have no idea, despite all my funk and resourcefulness, how to make the idea of giving me a call after work seem inspiring. Between all these questions you're asking me, all of which are related to my loose bowel movements, and the fact that you could lose your license if you got together with a patient, there is just no way I can slip you my number.
I don't really know what to do. I think I'm gonna try to run into you at the end of your internship at this hospital. I hear if it's not in an office, there is no law to prevent me hitting on you, and you taking it up. If you're not gay that is - cause you sort of give off that kind of vibe too.
But if you're not, where is my highest chance of running into you completely by chance, one morning when I'm not your patient and you're not my hot, out-of-bounds microbiologist?
Open apology to unintentional voyeur
I wish to apologize to the unfortunate hippy girl who witnessed a most disturbing event on Tuesday evening near the parking structure on Front and River street. You saw me bent over, clutching a dumpster with both hands, while a six foot-plus tranny stood directly behind me. Fortunately for you, the dumpster obscured your view, thereby sparing you most of the unpleasantness.
I imagine you were left to wonder exactly what nefarious deeds were happening beyond your field of view. You may have surmised that I was being mugged, frisked by the vice squad, on the receiving end of a very unique quickie, or even raped... but I assure you this was not the case. To satiate your curiosity, what you didn't see involved me with my pants around my ankles while the aforementioned tranny delivered a series of blows to my exposed backside. Those blows were so masterfully delivered that you must have heard each one sharply reverberate off the parking structure's concrete walls. For your sake, let's hope you put two and two together, rather than ran with the absolute worst case scenario in your imagination.
Interestingly enough, you seemed curious and made no effort to avert your gaze. I commend you for that. We locked eyes for a few moments. Mine were filled with both the fear of being caught and the excitement of being watched. Due to the distance involved and my painful distractions, I couldn't quite read your expression... but I imagine it involved either disgust, intense curiosity, or simple Santa Cruz bemusement for all things weird. I hope you were able to sleep that night while pondering the ugly possibilities.
In my defense, let me say that I've never done this sort of thing before, and I was merely following orders. And yes... I enjoyed it immensely and have every intention of repeating and diversifying these semi-public spectacles. For my money, it's more entertaining than watching a homeless guy take a dump on the sidewalk.

So, if you want a free moose, please come and get it before the bears do.
You could use it for dog food, or stuff it and put it your front yard, bear bait, whatever. If you live in the lower 48, this might be your best opportunity to get a free Alaska moose. I dont really care, I just want it out of my yard.

Nemesis required. 6-month project with possibilty to extend
I've been trying to think of ways to spice up my life. I'm 35 years old, happily married with two kids and I have a good job in insurance. But somethings missing. I feel like I'm old before my time. I need to inject some excitement into my daily routine through my arm before its too late. I need a challenge, something to get the adrenaline pumping again. An addiction would be nice, but, in short, I need a nemesis. I'm willing to pay $350 up front for you services as an arch enemy over the next six months. Nothing crazy. Steal my parking space, knock my coffee over, trip me when Im running to catch the BART and occasionaly whisper in my ear, "Ahha, we meet again". That kind of thing. Just keep me on my toes. Complacency will be the death of me. You need to have an evil streak and be blessed with innate guile and cunning. You should also be adept at inconsicuous pursuit. Evil laugh preferred. Send me a photo and a brief explanation why you would be a good nemesis.
British accent preferred.
