    Exclusive: Clinton in talks about possible move to World Bank | Reuters
      The former first lady and onetime political rival to President Barack Obama quickly became one of the most influential members of his Cabinet after she began her tenure at State in early 2009.
      She has said publicly she did not plan to stay on at the State Department for more than four years. Associates say Clinton has expressed interest in having the World Bank job should the bank's current president, Robert Zoellick, leave at the end of his term, in the middle of 2012.
      "Hillary Clinton wants the job," said one source who knows the secretary well.
      A second source also said Clinton wants the position.
      A third source said Obama had already expressed support for the change in her role. It is unclear whether Obama has formally agreed to nominate her for the post, which would require approval by the 187 member countries of the World Bank.
      White House Press Secretary Jay Carney denied the discussions. "It's totally wrong," he told Reuters.
      A spokesman for Clinton, Philippe Reines, denied Clinton wanted the job, had conversations with the White House about it or would accept it.
      People familiar with the situation, told of the denials from the White House and State Department, reaffirmed the accuracy of the report.
      Revelations of the discussions could hurt Clinton's efforts as America's top diplomat if she is seen as a lame duck in the job at a time of great foreign policy challenges for the Obama administration.

    Uruguay trying to determine the death cause of 600 Magellan penguins -- MercoPress
      A Navy statement says the latest batch is 200 dead Magellan penguins discovered on the shore at La Paloma about 200 kilometres east of Montevideo.
      A marine animal rescue group previously reported that the carcasses of 400 Magellan penguins washed up around the resort town of Piriapolis along with dead turtles, dolphins and albatrosses. The resort is about halfway between Montevideo and La Paloma.
      Experts say it is common for dead penguins to appear in the area at this time of year, but the extent of the die-off appears to be unusual.

  Libya
    HRC Report
      Conclusion
        The commission was able to accomplish its mandate in a relatively short period of time, particularly for a period of ongoing conflict. It considers that further work has to be done in order to investigate fully the numerous allegations it continues to receive at a time when the conflict is still ongoing. Future work would also permit an assessment of the veracity of the allegations received, particularly with regard to the use of mercenaries, the use of child soldiers, sexual violence and violations against migrant workers. Finally, the commission feels that, at this stage, it is not in a position to identify those responsible, as requested by the Human Rights Council in the resolution establishing its mandate.
      Sexual Abuse
        212. Reports of rape committed by Government forces have been recounted by numerous persons with whom the Commission met. The Commission had the opportunity to speak with only one victim of rape, Ms. Iman al-Obeidi whose case of gang-rape by Government forces has been well publicized by the media. Allegations of rape committed by armed opposition forces and armed civilians were made to the Commission by other persons, including in some cases, family members. The number of cases reported was small. However, the Commission recognizes the difficulties in collecting evidence in cases of sexual violence, including a victim¹s reluctance to disclose information due to the trauma, shame279 and stigma linked to reports of sexual assault. In Libya, the fact that Libyan criminal law punishes by flogging sexual relations outside a lawful marriage280
        More speculative information repeated was that members of the Kata¹eb were found with condoms and Viagra pills, leading those recounting these occurrences to suggest that troops were given instructions to engage in rape and that they were supplied with both the pills and the condoms. A psychologist in Benghazi informed the Commission that out of 60,000 persons responding to a survey, 259 reported cases of sexual abuse.287 However, the Commission has no further details of the methodology or the findings of this study.
        Kataeb Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
          The Lebanese Social Democratic Party is also known as Phalanges Libanaises in French and either Kataeb Kata'eb al-Lubnaniyya) or 'Phalangist Party' (Hezb al-Kata'eb al-Lubnaniyya) in Arabic. Kataeb is the plural of Katiba which is a translation into Arabic of the Greek word phalanx ("battalion") which is also the origin of the Spanish term Falange.
        Conclusion
          219. The Commission received but was unable to verify individual accounts of rape. However, the Commission notes there was sufficient information received to justify further investigation to ascertain the extent of sexual violence including whether cases were linked to incitement by the command of either side. It is evident that the reports of the rapes have had a major psychological and social impact and have spread fear among the population. Given accounts that rape was committed as part of a policy to spread such fear, further investigation would be warranted.
      General Observations (note the language used to be vague)
        With regard to the use of weaponry, the commission is concerned that the Libyan authorities have not been making appropriate and precautionary assessments which would, in the commission¹s view, militate against the use of weapons such as mortars in densely- populated urban areas. The commission is also concerned about reports of the use of weapons such as expanding bullets, cluster munitions and phosphorous weapons in highly populated areas. Further investigation, however, including forensic analysis, would be needed to confirm the use of these ammunitions.
        The consistent pattern of violations identified creates an inference that they were carried out as a result of policy decisions by Colonel Qadhafi and members of his inner circle. Further investigation is required in relation to making definitive findings with regard to the identity of those responsible for the crimes committed. The commission received some information concerning individual perpetrators of crimes, but more investigation is also required on this issue.

    The Super-Rare E. Coli Sickening Germany - Global - The Atlantic Wire
      On Tuesday, the German newspaper-Süddeutsche Zeitung-reported that Karch had discovered that the O104:H4 bacteria responsible for the current outbreak is a so-called chimera that contains genetic materia from various E. coli bacteria. It also contains DNA sequences from plague bacteria, which makes it particularly pathogenic. There is no risk, however, that it could cause a form of plague, Karch emphasized in remarks to the newspaper.
    Organic food linked to E. coli outbreak? - The Times of India
      Organic foods are by definition fertilized with animal manure and that's where E coli exist. ECDC says these bacteria are found in the lower intestine of mammals. This leads experts to believe that the German outbreak most likely occurred due to contamination through manure in organic farms, from a sewage leak in the irrigation supply or from a worker handling the produce.

    Bipolar kids: Victims of the 'madness industry'? - health - 08 June 2011 - New Scientist
      Spitzer grew up to be a psychiatrist at Columbia University, New York, his dislike of psychoanalysis remaining undimmed. And then, in 1973, an opportunity to change everything presented itself. There was a job going editing the next edition of a little-known spiral-bound booklet called DSM - the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
      DSM is simply a list of all the officially recognised mental illnesses and their symptoms. Back then it was a tiny book that reflected the Freudian thinking predominant in the 1960s. It had very few pages, and very few readers.
      What nobody knew when they offered Spitzer the job was that he had a plan: to try to remove human judgement from psychiatry. He would create a whole new DSM that would eradicate all that crass sleuthing around the unconscious; it hadn't helped his mother. Instead it would be all about checklists. Any psychiatrist could pick up the manual, and if the patient's symptoms tallied with the checklist for a particular disorder, that would be the diagnosis.
    NDM-1 in a U.S. Military Hospital in Afghanistan | Wired Science-| Wired.com
      Deep in the back of the weekly bulletin of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there is a note that NDM-1, the "Indian supergene," has been isolated from a patient in a U.S. military field hospital in Bagram, Afghanistan.
      It's been a few months since NDM-1 was in the news, so let's recap. The acronym (for "New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase 1") indicates an enzyme that allows common gut bacteria to denature almost all the drugs that can be used against them, leaving two or three that are inefficient or toxic. It was first identified in a resident of Sweden, of Indian origin, who had returned to India for a visit, was hospitalized there, went back to Sweden, and was hospitalized again.

    New flu virus emerges after child co-infected with H1N1, H3N2; vaccine protective - Winnipeg Free Press
      Canadian doctors are reporting what may be the first case of a new flu virus created after a child became co-infected with two influenza strains -- pandemic H1N1 and seasonal H3N2.
      The 16-month-old boy from the Greater Toronto Area was admitted to a local hospital on January 24 and discharged home after about a 15-hour stay.
      The child, who was suffering both respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms, recovered from his illness without complications and none of his family members or other close contacts contracted the virus.
      Doctors only discovered the toddler had been infected with an altered flu virus after testing of nasal-throat swabs turned up evidence of what's called "reassortment" -- genes from the H1N1 and H3N2 flu viruses had been swapped, creating a virus with a new genetic combination.
      "To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of reassortment involving (pandemic) H1N1 and seasonal H3N2," said Dr. Jonathan Gubbay, a medical microbiologist at the Ontario Agency for Health Protection and Promotion.
      "We can never definitely say it's the first ever, but we're pretty sure it is, that it hasn't been (previously) reported," he said in an interview.

    [VIDEO] Missile Defense - 33 Minutes Overview
      Why a Documentary About Missile Defense?
      The proliferation of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles to rogue states such as Iran and North Korea pose a grave danger to the lives of all Americans.
      North Korea is developing long-range ballistic missiles that can carry a nuclear warhead all the way to Alaska or California. Iran already has missiles that can reach Europe, and could soon acquire nuclear weapons. These countries could share their missile and nuclear technologies with terrorists, who would in turn be able to directly threaten New York City and other American cities with short-range missiles fired off the sea- or air-based platforms.
