      Hi Adam,
      Wanted to tell you a story that just happened, my 75yrs old grandmother just came back from visiting the U.S, so I had to ask, what was it like going through the airports and the TSA.
      Well she wasn't too impressed with the body scanner, but the icing on the cake was with the TSA agent advising her that she needs a better supporting bra and how the straps need adjusting..ha. I never knew lingerie advice was part of their remit :)
      So in honour of that revelation, I have registered a new domain that will point to the No Agenda news network.

      All the best,

It is desomorphine, a synthetic opiate many times more powerful than heroin that is created from a complex chain of mixing and chemical reactions, which the addicts perform from memory several times a day. While heroin costs from £20 to £60 per dose, desomorphine can be "cooked" from codeine-based headache pills that cost £2 per pack, and other household ingredients available cheaply from the markets.
        It is a drug for the poor, and its effects are horrific. It was given its reptilian name because its poisonous ingredients quickly turn the skin scaly. Worse follows. Oleg and Sasha have not been using for long, but Oleg has rotting sores on the

      Three Russian designers of Iran's nuclear plant die in plane crash
        Russian nuclear scientists who planned, designed, built and put into operation Iran's first nuclear reactor at Bushehr this year, died Tuesday night, June 20, when a Rusaero flight from Moscow to Petrozavodsk in northwest Russia crashed.
        DEBKAfile's sources reveal that they were among the 44 passengers who were killed.
        Their loss is a severe blow to Russia's atomic reactor industry as well as its nuclear program as a whole, since the three, Sergey Ryzhov, Gennady Banuyk and Nikolay Trunov, specialized in running installations in tandem and synchronizing various systems.
        The Russian company OKB Gidropress, Moscow, which employed them as chief planners of nuclear plants, is proud of having sold reactors to five countries including Iran.

        -----"The injunction at this stage would be useless, as not only is there no ongoing release from the well, but there is also no viable offshore facility from which any release could possibly occur," U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier wrote. "The Macondo well is dead, and what remains of the Deepwater Horizon vessel is on the ocean floor, where it capsized and sank in 5,000 feet of water.
        -----"Moreover, BP and the agencies comprising the Unified Area Command have been and are cleaning up the Gulf of Mexico. An injury is not redressable by a citizen suit when the injury is already being addressed."

      Surprise! TSA Is Searching Your Car, Subway, Ferry, Bus, AND Plane | Mother Jones
        Not to worry: security isn't the only goal of VIPR. A recent VIPR operation/screening at a Tampa Greyhound bus station was conducted with US Border Patrol and ICE. "What we're looking for is threats to national security as well as immigration law violators," said Steve McDonald from US Border Patrol. An ICE representative said that they were also looking for smuggling, and Gary Milano from Homeland Security said that although that was the first time the Tampa bus depot had been screened, VIPR would be back again sometime in the future and was using the element of surprise as a deterrent to "the bad guys."
        Although one man at the Tampa screening said he felt "safer,"-VIPR operations are not without their naysayers. A VIPR screening at a Des Moines Greyhound station last week is alleged to have targeted Latinos. Another TSA/Border Patrol VIPR screening on a trolley in San Diego resulted in three teens being handcuffed and deported while on their way to school. Around 20 others were also deported, according to local news outlets.
      Florida unemployment law: Bosses get powerful tool in Florida unemployment law overhaul - Orlando Sentinel
        A just-passed overhaul of Florida's unemployment laws gives employers the ability to challenge jobless benefits to former employees for behavior that has little to do with how they conduct themselves at work.
        The provision permits businesses to fight a worker's benefits claim based on "misconduct, irrespective of whether the misconduct occurs at the workplace or during working hours."
        In essence, it allows the business to cite a worker's private behavior as a reason to deny benefits.
        For example, owners of a delivery company, who can now fire a driver cited for reckless driving, could also challenge his right to benefits even if the offense occurred while he was driving his own car on his own time.

      Libyan gov't slams NATO raids on civilian neighborhood
        NATO warplanes struck the neighborhood early Sunday morning, killing 9 people, including five members of a family, and wounding 18 others. As a Xinhua reporter saw at the scene, a three-story building was reduced to crumbling wrecks, dozens of homes and scores of vehicles nearby damaged or destroyed, and windows of a school building shattered.
        NATO warplanes were circling overhead for more than one hour after the raids, causing great panic to local residents.
        In a statement issued later on Sunday, NATO admitted that civilian casualties were caused during the airstrikes -- in the first such acknowledgement since the alliance began its air operations in March.

"She kept screaming," one doctor says. "Just screaming and screaming, 'Daddy, don't look!'"
        The doctors are in their mid-20, stationed in the emergency room of one of this rebel stronghold's most sophisticated hospitals. They talk for hours about the rape of women. But it's only stories. They have never met a victim.

They're selling a new score that says can predict if you will take your medication correctly.
        The score is on a range of 0 to 500. Over 400, and you're probably going to follow instructions. Under 200, and you're a risk for not taking your medication correctly. You might not get the prescription ever filled, forget to pick up your drugs from the pharmacy, not take all your doses, take your pills at the wrong time of day, or either over or under-dose.

While heroin costs from £20 to £60 per dose, desomorphine can be "cooked" from codeine-based headache pills that cost £2 per pack, and other household ingredients available cheaply from the markets.
      It is a drug for the poor, and its effects are horrific. It was given its reptilian name because its poisonous ingredients quickly turn the skin scaly. Worse follows. Oleg and Sasha have not been using for long, but Oleg has rotting sores on the

    Three Russian designers of Iran's nuclear plant die in plane crash
      Russian nuclear scientists who planned, designed, built and put into operation Iran's first nuclear reactor at Bushehr this year, died Tuesday night, June 20, when a Rusaero flight from Moscow to Petrozavodsk in northwest Russia crashed.
      DEBKAfile's sources reveal that they were among the 44 passengers who were killed.
      Their loss is a severe blow to Russia's atomic reactor industry as well as its nuclear program as a whole, since the three, Sergey Ryzhov, Gennady Banuyk and Nikolay Trunov, specialized in running installations in tandem and synchronizing various systems.
      The Russian company OKB Gidropress, Moscow, which employed them as chief planners of nuclear plants, is proud of having sold reactors to five countries including Iran.

      -----"The injunction at this stage would be useless, as not only is there no ongoing release from the well, but there is also no viable offshore facility from which any release could possibly occur," U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier wrote. "The Macondo well is dead, and what remains of the Deepwater Horizon vessel is on the ocean floor, where it capsized and sank in 5,000 feet of water.
      -----"Moreover, BP and the agencies comprising the Unified Area Command have been and are cleaning up the Gulf of Mexico. An injury is not redressable by a citizen suit when the injury is already being addressed."

"What we're looking for is threats to national security as well as immigration law violators," said Steve McDonald from US Border Patrol. An ICE representative said that they were also looking for smuggling, and Gary Milano from Homeland Security said that although that was the first time the Tampa bus depot had been screened, VIPR would be back again sometime in the future and was using the element of surprise as a deterrent to "the bad guys."
      Although one man at the Tampa screening said he felt "safer,"-VIPR operations are not without their naysayers.

    Florida unemployment law: Bosses get powerful tool in Florida unemployment law overhaul - Orlando Sentinel
      A just-passed overhaul of Florida's unemployment laws gives employers the ability to challenge jobless benefits to former employees for behavior that has little to do with how they conduct themselves at work.
      The provision permits businesses to fight a worker's benefits claim based on "misconduct, irrespective of whether the misconduct occurs at the workplace or during working hours."
      In essence, it allows the business to cite a worker's private behavior as a reason to deny benefits.
      For example, owners of a delivery company, who can now fire a driver cited for reckless driving, could also challenge his right to benefits even if the offense occurred while he was driving his own car on his own time.

    Libyan gov't slams NATO raids on civilian neighborhood
      NATO warplanes struck the neighborhood early Sunday morning, killing 9 people, including five members of a family, and wounding 18 others. As a Xinhua reporter saw at the scene, a three-story building was reduced to crumbling wrecks, dozens of homes and scores of vehicles nearby damaged or destroyed, and windows of a school building shattered.
      NATO warplanes were circling overhead for more than one hour after the raids, causing great panic to local residents.
      In a statement issued later on Sunday, NATO admitted that civilian casualties were caused during the airstrikes -- in the first such acknowledgement since the alliance began its air operations in March.
    Michele Bachmann's Holy War | Rolling Stone Politics
      I said lunch, not launch! But don't laugh. Don't do it. And don't look her in the eyes; don't let her smile at you. Michele Bachmann, when she turns her head toward the cameras and brandishes her pearls and her ageless, unblemished neckline and her perfect suburban orthodontics in an attempt to reassure the unbeliever of her non-threateningness, is one of the scariest sights in the entire American cultural tableau. She's trying to look like June Cleaver, but she actually looks like the T2 skeleton posing for a passport photo. You will want to laugh, but don't, because the secret of Bachmann's success is that every time you laugh at her, she gets stronger.

    Rape in Libya: The Crime That Dare Not Speak Its Name - TIME

"She kept screaming," one doctor says. "Just screaming and screaming, 'Daddy, don't look!'"
      The doctors are in their mid-20, stationed in the emergency room of one of this rebel stronghold's most sophisticated hospitals. They talk for hours about the rape of women. But it's only stories. They have never met a victim.

    FICO Sells New Score That Predicts Whether You Will Take Your Medicine - The Consumerist
      Are you going to be a good boy and take your medicine? Next time your Mom won't have to ask you. She can just check your FICO Medication Adherence Score. The same people who make the standard credit scoring model have turned their data mining drills and abacuses onto medicine. They're selling a new score that says can predict if you will take your medication correctly.
      The score is on a range of 0 to 500. Over 400, and you're probably going to follow instructions. Under 200, and you're a risk for not taking your medication correctly. You might not get the prescription ever filled, forget to pick up your drugs from the pharmacy, not take all your doses, take your pills at the wrong time of day, or either over or under-dose.
    All Work and No Pay: The Great Speedup | Mother Jones

Workers recognized it, unions (remember those?) watched for and negotiated over it--and, if necessary, walked out over it.
