A quarter of a century after the outbreak of Aids, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has accepted that the threat of a global heterosexual pandemic has disappeared. In the first official admission that the universal prevention strategy promoted by the major Aids organisations may have been misdirected, Kevin de Cock, the head of the WHO's department of HIV/Aids said there will be no generalised epidemic of Aids in the heterosexual population outside Africa.

The measures, banning so-called “assault weapons” and restricting handgun purchases to one per month, violate Pennsylvania’s state preemption laws, passed by the state legislature to maintain uniformity of gun laws.

In one of the biggest air assaults in their history, troops from the Parachute Regiment have spent the last four days deep in Taliban territory. Breaking one of the last insurgent strongholds in southern Afghanistan, the "Battle of Qarat-e-Hazrat" in Zabul Province ended in an enemy rout. The Daily Telegraph's Defence Correspondent Thomas Harding watched as British firepower finally turned the tide in the Taliban's own "back yard". AMAZING how our news services are silent on this event. Well "Good News" about the War on Muslim Extremism is "verboten" in the US media these days.- Riley More>>>
Darwin 'ripped off' theory of evolution

According to author Roy Davies, former head of factual programming for BBC Wales, new evidence demonstrates that Charles Darwin stole his theory of evolution from a Welsh scientist working in Indonesia. And according to Australia's Northern Territory News, Davies' publisher is launching a campaign to have the Australian city of Darwin renamed after the Welshman. If Davies and his publisher get their way, the theory of evolution may soon be known as "Wallace's Theory," and the capital of Australia's Northern Territory will become some derivation of Alfred Russel Wallace's name.

Look closely at high-school yearbooks and you'll find inside jokes and pop culture references only the kids understand.
Look closely at the Lake City High School yearbook in Coeur d'Alene and you'll find all that — plus references to drinking, sex and illicit substances, including Ecstasy. The psychedelic-themed yearbook hit the hallways last week, prompting a few students to demand their money back after finding sexual innuendo and subtle — and not so subtle — references to drug culture.

WSJ: How FDR prolonged the Depression
by

People these days fear inflation. We also fear changing rates of inflation. And most of the tools we might use to protect ourselves, such as the Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities bond or gold stocks, are imperfect. TIPS are, after all, based on an inflation-measure whose accuracy is itself controversial – the Consumer Price Index. So it's worth remembering that, 75 years ago today, President Franklin D. Roosevelt destroyed an inflation hedge that was literally as good as gold: the so-called "gold clause." This helped prolong the Depression and has been causing damage ever since. More>>> |
