      In the morning Adam,
      I forwarded adiosmofo.us, followmeontweeter.net and followmeontweeter.org to noagendashow.com. I sent you an e-mail yesterday explaining that I'm trying to help out a friends family. It took me a couple hours to figure out how to forward them. Hey, I drive a truck for a living, not very interwebs literate. Anyways, hope you guys can help me out. And I misspelled their facebook link, it's facebook.com/sidorvich.transplant
      Thanks Adam,
      Sir Daniel Huttner

      Good day John and Adam,
      I am currently forwarding the following URLs to noagendashow.com:
      followmeontweeter.com
      findmeontweeter.com
      Let me know if you want this to point to a Twitter account instead.
      Also I think you picked up on a meme in 316 that may need to be more fully explored. It is the meme of using your penis as a weapon. I think this is used not only to propogate the war against Libya but to further emasuculate males in the United States. It is to make males look at the one major body difference from their female counterparts as something used for harm instead of pleasure. I think this harkens back to the clip you aired where teachers are trying to make boys behave like girls and anything considered masculine to be primitive, undesired and likely evil.

        The man urinated on to the aircraft carpet, a man's leg, and a woman's scarf.
        "Everyone was yelling at him and he slowly became aware that he was being uncouth. He pulled up ... and wobbled back to the other end of the plane."
        The man and a friend were seen drinking whisky before take-off.
        "Him and the mate were sitting there and mixing it in Burger King cups. Six hours later they were catatonic," Mr Chapple said.

      Wisconsin judge Ann Walsh Bradley says Justice David Prosser choked her - Crimesider - CBS News
        Wisconsin Supreme Court justice Ann Walsh Bradley says Justice David Prosser choked her during an argument in her office earlier this month - a charge her colleague denies.
        Bradley told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Prosser put her in a chokehold after she demanded he leave her office.
        "The facts are that I was demanding that he get out of my office and he put his hands around my neck in anger in a chokehold," Bradley told the newspaper.
        Prosser issued a statement saying the allegations "will be proven false" once a "proper review of the matter and the facts surrounding it are made clear."
        According to CBS affiliate WDJT, Wisconsin Public Radio and the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism, quoting anonymous sources, have reported the altercation occurred before the Supreme Court's decision earlier this month upholding Gov. Scott Walker's bill to cut public employees' collective bargaining rights.

      Satyajit Das: Default Semantics -- Credit Default Swaps & Greece - naked capitalism
        The European Union's linguistic gymnastics, redefining default as "restructuring" or "re-profiling" and the structure of any final deal on Greek debt has "real" implications for the arcane workings of the CDS market.
        In the film Casablanca, Rick (Humphrey Bogart) tells Captain Renault (Claude Rains) that he came to the city because of his health, to take the waters. Informed that they are in the desert, Rick ironically replies that he was "misinformed". Investors and banks that purchased Greek sovereign credit default swap ("CDS") to protect themselves against the risk of default may find that they have been similarly "misinformed".
        The "hedges" may not provide the protection sought. While net outstandings of Greek sovereign CDS is modest (around US$5 billion), the current imbroglio raise important questions about the role and efficacy of CDS contract generally.

      Cancer Cluster Possibly Found Among TSA Workers - Slashdot

They have requested dosimetry to counter 'TSA's improperly non-monitored radiation threat.' So far, at least, they have not received it. The documents also reveal a paper from Johns Hopkins that essentially questions whether it is even safe to stand near an operating scanner, let alone inside one. Also, the National Institute of Standards and Technology says that the Dept. of Homeland Security 'mischaracterized' their work by telling USA Today that NIST affirmed the safety of the scanners when in fact NIST does not do product safety testing and never tested a scanner for safety."

        Land Destroyer: Egypt's ElBaradei: Con-man in Chief?
          Mohamed ElBaradei has recently announced he will be running for president in a move that should surprise no one. For nearly a year the corporate owned media has been building up ElBaradei, portraying him as the great hope for Egypt. Foreign Affairs magazine, in March 2010, literally printed an article titled, "Is ElBaradei Egypt's Hero?"
        Land Destroyer: Egypt's Wael Ghonim of Google
          While Wael Ghonim is portrayed as a passionate activist fighting for the Egyptian people, his allegiances are much more specific. Having been living abroad in Dubai, his Facebook page didn't pop-up overnight, it was actually created nearly a year ago in tandem with Mohamed ElBaradei's arrival in Egypt during February 2010. Ghonim also created ElBaradei's official campaign website. Ghonim and ElBaradei then concurrently campaigned for the coming November 2010 Egyptian election and built up an opposition network in support for ElBaradei. This network included the April 6 Movement, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the independent labor unions now making up the bulk of the protests.

        The reason(s) for the US shifting their long-standing policy of supporting brutal Muslim-Arab regimes has led to what many are calling the "Arab Spring", but can be more accurately described as an American led effort to destabilize and destroy all Middle Eastern and Northern African countries in order to secure their vast oil and natural gas resources for themselves.
        The Arab Spring (literally the Arabic Rebellions or the Arab Revolutions) is a revolutionary wave of demonstrations and protests that has been taking place in the Arab world since 18 December 2010. Prior to this period, Sudan was the only Arab country to have successfully overthrown dictatorial regimes, in 1964 and again in 1985.

      CNN.com - One country loses time - literally - Feb. 28, 2003
        CARACAS, Venezuela (Reuters) -- If you thought Venezuela's political crisis seemed to be dragging for an impossibly long time -- you were right.
        In a bizarre mass-malfunction, Venezuela's clocks are ticking too slowly due to a power shortage weakening the electric current nationwide. By the end of each day, the sluggish time pieces still have another 150 seconds to tick before they catch up to midnight.
        "Everything that has to do with time-keeping has slowed down. If it's an electric clock, it's running slow," said Miguel Lara, general manager of the national power grid.
        "Your computer isn't affected. Your television isn't affected. No other devices ... just clocks," he added.
        The meltdown has taken a total 14 hours and 36 minutes from Venezuela's clocks over 12 of the past 13 months, he said.
      Topless in Central Park: A New Yorker Puts the Law to the Test - New York News - Runnin' Scared
        []Inspired by the mysterious Topless Bowery Lady who recently set the Internet aflame, and the publicly acknowledged legality of being topless in the city, our pal Jamie Peck took it upon herself to take off her own shirt in the outside air recently and see what happened. At the beginning of her adventure, which she chronicled for The Gloss, she found that she was initially nervous -- Could she do this? What would happen? -- but went through with it anyway in the good fight against social conventions. She headed to Central Park on a Sunday afternoon, took off her shirt -- "it turned out to be like ripping off a band-aid; once I'd done it without anything bad happening, I relaxed," she writes.

      Forensic evidence emerges that European e.coli superbug was bioengineered to produce human fatalities
        There's really only one way this happens (and only one way) -- you have to expose this strain of e.coli to all eight classes of antibiotics drugs. Usually this isn't done at the same time, of course: You first expose it to penicillin and find the surviving colonies which are resistant to penicillin. You then take those surviving colonies and expose them to tetracycline. The surviving colonies are now resistant to both penicillin and tetracycline. You then expose them to a sulfa drug and collect the surviving colonies from that, and so on. It is a process of genetic selection done in a laboratory with a desired outcome. This is essentially how some bioweapons are engineered by the U.S. Army in its laboratory facility in Ft. Detrick, Maryland

    Wisconsin judge Ann Walsh Bradley says Justice David Prosser choked her - Crimesider - CBS News
      Wisconsin Supreme Court justice Ann Walsh Bradley says Justice David Prosser choked her during an argument in her office earlier this month - a charge her colleague denies.
      Bradley told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Prosser put her in a chokehold after she demanded he leave her office.
      "The facts are that I was demanding that he get out of my office and he put his hands around my neck in anger in a chokehold," Bradley told the newspaper.
      Prosser issued a statement saying the allegations "will be proven false" once a "proper review of the matter and the facts surrounding it are made clear."
      According to CBS affiliate WDJT, Wisconsin Public Radio and the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism, quoting anonymous sources, have reported the altercation occurred before the Supreme Court's decision earlier this month upholding Gov. Scott Walker's bill to cut public employees' collective bargaining rights.

Informed that they are in the desert, Rick ironically replies that he was "misinformed".

      The "hedges" may not provide the protection sought. While net outstandings of Greek sovereign CDS is modest (around US$5 billion), the current imbroglio raise important questions about the role and efficacy of CDS contract generally.

        US Senator John McCain recently led a delegation representing his true constituency, Fortune 500 corporations, to Egypt and Tunisia to promote "private sector growth." Traveling with McCain was a collection of corporate parasites from General Electric, Boeing, Coca-Cola, Bechtel, ExxonMobil, Marriot, and Dow who surveyed Cairo like conquering despots.

        The Egyptian-American Enterprise Fund would provide monies to finance and technologically support small- and medium-sized Egyptian businesses. The bill states that according to the Egyptian government, such businesses are responsible for nearly 75 percent of private sector employment in Egypt.-
        While the bill does not offer exact dollar figures for these enterprise funds, it cites the US$1.2 billion used to foster economic growth in the former Soviet Union and its satellite states after the Cold War.-

      Land Destroyer: Egypt's ElBaradei: Con-man in Chief?
        Mohamed ElBaradei has recently announced he will be running for president in a move that should surprise no one. For nearly a year the corporate owned media has been building up ElBaradei, portraying him as the great hope for Egypt. Foreign Affairs magazine, in March 2010, literally printed an article titled, "Is ElBaradei Egypt's Hero?"
      Land Destroyer: Egypt's Wael Ghonim of Google
        While Wael Ghonim is portrayed as a passionate activist fighting for the Egyptian people, his allegiances are much more specific. Having been living abroad in Dubai, his Facebook page didn't pop-up overnight, it was actually created nearly a year ago in tandem with Mohamed ElBaradei's arrival in Egypt during February 2010. Ghonim also created ElBaradei's official campaign website. Ghonim and ElBaradei then concurrently campaigned for the coming November 2010 Egyptian election and built up an opposition network in support for ElBaradei. This network included the April 6 Movement, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the independent labor unions now making up the bulk of the protests.

    Russia Agrees To US-Saudi War After Deadly Attack On Nuclear Experts
      The reason(s) for the US shifting their long-standing policy of supporting brutal Muslim-Arab regimes has led to what many are calling the "Arab Spring", but can be more accurately described as an American led effort to destabilize and destroy all Middle Eastern and Northern African countries in order to secure their vast oil and natural gas resources for themselves.
      The Arab Spring (literally the Arabic Rebellions or the Arab Revolutions) is a revolutionary wave of demonstrations and protests that has been taking place in the Arab world since 18 December 2010. Prior to this period, Sudan was the only Arab country to have successfully overthrown dictatorial regimes, in 1964 and again in 1985.

      CARACAS, Venezuela (Reuters) -- If you thought Venezuela's political crisis seemed to be dragging for an impossibly long time -- you were right.
      In a bizarre mass-malfunction, Venezuela's clocks are ticking too slowly due to a power shortage weakening the electric current nationwide. By the end of each day, the sluggish time pieces still have another 150 seconds to tick before they catch up to midnight.
      "Everything that has to do with time-keeping has slowed down. If it's an electric clock, it's running slow," said Miguel Lara, general manager of the national power grid.
      "Your computer isn't affected. Your television isn't affected. No other devices ... just clocks," he added.
      The meltdown has taken a total 14 hours and 36 minutes from Venezuela's clocks over 12 of the past 13 months, he said.

At the beginning of her adventure, which she chronicled for The Gloss, she found that she was initially nervous -- Could she do this? What would happen? -- but went through with it anyway in the good fight against social conventions. She headed to Central Park on a Sunday afternoon, took off her shirt -- "it turned out to be like ripping off a band-aid; once I'd done it without anything bad happening, I relaxed," she writes.

    Forensic evidence emerges that European e.coli superbug was bioengineered to produce human fatalities
      There's really only one way this happens (and only one way) -- you have to expose this strain of e.coli to all eight classes of antibiotics drugs. Usually this isn't done at the same time, of course: You first expose it to penicillin and find the surviving colonies which are resistant to penicillin. You then take those surviving colonies and expose them to tetracycline. The surviving colonies are now resistant to both penicillin and tetracycline. You then expose them to a sulfa drug and collect the surviving colonies from that, and so on. It is a process of genetic selection done in a laboratory with a desired outcome. This is essentially how some bioweapons are engineered by the U.S. Army in its laboratory facility in Ft. Detrick, Maryland
