      As the fall harvest begins, I encourage farm and ranch families to embrace safe farming practices and to participate in farm safety and health programs. Communities and neighbors can support local farmers by understanding the risks involved with farm work and the role everyone can play in preventing and responding to accidents.

      Silvio Berlusconi wiretaps reveal boast of spending night with eight women | World news | The Observer
        Magistrates investigating an alleged prostitution ring in Italy have published wiretaps in which Silvio Berlusconi boasts of spending the night with eight women and complains that meetings with Gordon Brown and the Pope are interfering with his partying.
        The wiretaps were released at the conclusion of an investigation into entrepreneur Gianpaolo Tarantini, who is accused of paying women to sleep with Berlusconi, 74, at his homes in 2008 and 2009. The Italian prime minister is not under investigation, although the wiretaps throw doubt on Berlusconi's claims that he has never paid for sex.
        "They are all well provided for," Berlusconi tells Tarantini of the girls passing through his Rome residence in one of the thousands of recorded conversations released, which filled Italian newspapers on Saturday.
        In another conversation, a woman named Vanessa Di Meglio sends a text from Berlusconi's residence to Tarantini at 5.52am asking "Who pays? Do we ask him or you?"

        "U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner ignored an order in 2009 from President Barack Obama to prepare a plan to "wind down" Citigroup Inc., once the biggest bank in the world, according to a book to be released next week.
        Geithner didn't proceed with Obama's order to develop a plan to dissolve New York-based Citigroup in March 2009, several months after the bank had received a $45 billion taxpayer bailout, according to "Confidence Men: Wall Street, Washington and the Education of a President" by Ron Suskind, a former Wall Street Journal reporter."

      Afghanistan yields rare earth elements - UPI.com
        More than 1 million tons of rare earth minerals were discovered in less than 1 square mile of Helmand province in Afghanistan, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
        The USGS found the rare earth elements in about one-quarter of a square mile in deposits in Helmand. A 2007 survey found an estimated 1.5 million metric tons of potential rare earth resources in southern Afghanistan.
        "This is just one more piece of evidence that Afghanistan's mineral sector has a bright future," Regina Dubey, acting director of a U.S. Defense Department business and stability task force, said in a statement.

      FDA Scolds Big Corn For "Corn Sugar" Ads & Websites - The Consumerist
        The Associated Press has seen a letter sent from an FDA director to the Corn Refiners Association in July. In which the agency writes, "We request that you re-examine your websites and modify statements that use the term 'corn sugar' as a synonym for (high fructose corn syrup)."
        But that was July, and yet CornSugar.com still operates because the FDA can't stop an ad campaign that only seeks to promote an entire industry. However, if someone were to change HFCS to "corn sugar" on an ingredients list before the FDA has signed off on the name change, then the agency has the authority to intervene.

Before the new Obama administration named a permanent director for both agencies, in April 2009, an outbreak of swine flu in North America swept the headlines. Besser began to hold daily press conferences where he explained the United States government's reaction to the outbreak, which originated in Mexico, but had since spread to over 20 countries, with the United States the most affected by the virus's spread. Besser's handling of his press conferences drew praise from prominent American medical professionals such as Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. David Satcher.[2]

      Wall Street Insider: President Obama's Plan To Unionize The American Military | Newsflavor
        Wall Street:- As I did say -- the administration wants to unionize the American military.- All of it.- They apparently, if what this gentleman said is to be believed,...they wish to see the soldiers "justly represented".- That was the term that was repeated to me by more than one source.- It had...the conversation had originated as one about unionizing Wall Street workers and then the information about the military -- the actual plan for unionizing the military came out.
        Ulsterman:- And this person -- they were from the Department of Justice?
        Wall Street:- Yes...an affiliation of the DOJ, yes.
        Ulsterman:- Could you be more specific?
        Wall Street:- No.- I am surprised you were not told of this already.- I shared it with our acquaintance some time ago.- Can you imagine some 2 million more union members in this country?- With a stroke of the pen -- an executive order.- Can you imagine the cost?- The dysfunction?- How much we could be weakened, put at risk by such a thing?- The implications are...well, they are just too horrific to consider.- The last I had heard of this was...perhaps the 1970s.- And never coming from such a level within the government.
      Wall Street Insider: "The President Was...Just An Empty Shell" | Newsflavor
        Yes -- awhile.- There came a time when he seemed to lose focus.- You could see...it appeared the energy just left him.- Like he wasn't the same person who had walked into the room just 30 or 40 minutes earlier.- He...President Obama, he just seemed to shrink up into the chair.- And he started to look down at his watch.- Repeatedly.- Eyes were starting to glance back and forth at each other -- people communicating to one another what everyone was noticing -- how the president, mentally, seemed to have "left the building".- Well, now it was the president's turn to speak.- To give some of his own input and reaction to what others had been saying. He didn't stand up.- He didn't even straighten up in his seat.- President Obama just turned to his left and said, "Valerie?"-
        Ulsterman:- Valerie?- That's it?- That's all he said?
        Wall Street:- At that time -- yes.- He turned to Valerie Jarrett, and then Ms. Jarrett proceeded to explain the president's positions.- But the president was sitting right there.- It was surreal.- She would qualify everything with, "What the president believes is", or "what the president hopes to accomplish is" -- and that went on for a good 10 minutes.- The president didn't say a word -- it was all...everything was said by Valerie Jarrett.
        Ulsterman:- And how did the meeting end?
        Wall Street:- That was very interesting.- When it was clear the meeting was concluded, the president came back to life.- It was like somebody plugged him back in.- I am not...there is no exaggeration in what I'm telling you here.- Possibly just the opposite.- All at once he looked tall and strong, working the room again, smiling, clapping backs, and then he was gone.- The word -- I used it already, but the word I keep coming back to is surreal.- The president was two entirely different people in the span of an hour.- One was the President of the United States and the other was...the other was just an empty shell...

      Officials prepare to unveil North American border-security project
        The U.S. and Canada are preparing to launch a pilot project that would authorize American and Canadian law enforcement officers to cross the international land border in pursuit of suspected criminals or terrorists.
        The plan to create teams of "cross-designated officers" comes ahead of a broader Canada-U.S. border security and trade strategy expected to be unveiled in the coming weeks by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and President Barack Obama.
        "The creation of 'NextGen' teams of cross-designated officers would allow us to more effectively identify, assess, and interdict persons and organizations involved in transnational crime," U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said in a speech to a border conference earlier this week in Lake Placid, N.Y.

      Chrissie's UFO experience
      Nasa's 33
        Hi guys,
        I was listening to NA 339 when I caught something. When Nick Johnson of NASA was being interviewed about the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite falling from orbit, he stated that the satellite could land anywhere between 57 degrees North and 57 degrees South latitude. Adam thought this was ironic because the interviewer noted that this is where most of the population resides. But as a math geek and former professional sysadmin, I wondered myself why the number 57 was used; why not 55 or 60, as a few degrees here or there don't necessarily represent much of a difference, especially to the average slave who probably barely knows what the unit of measurement means.
        So I thought to myself that 90 degrees North is the North Pole and -90 degrees South is the South Pole. That with knowing 90-57 is 33, the NASA scientist was claiming there is a 33 degree latitude "cone of safety" around the North and South Pole. Another piece of the code?

    Silvio Berlusconi wiretaps reveal boast of spending night with eight women | World news | The Observer
      Magistrates investigating an alleged prostitution ring in Italy have published wiretaps in which Silvio Berlusconi boasts of spending the night with eight women and complains that meetings with Gordon Brown and the Pope are interfering with his partying.
      The wiretaps were released at the conclusion of an investigation into entrepreneur Gianpaolo Tarantini, who is accused of paying women to sleep with Berlusconi, 74, at his homes in 2008 and 2009. The Italian prime minister is not under investigation, although the wiretaps throw doubt on Berlusconi's claims that he has never paid for sex.
      "They are all well provided for," Berlusconi tells Tarantini of the girls passing through his Rome residence in one of the thousands of recorded conversations released, which filled Italian newspapers on Saturday.
      In another conversation, a woman named Vanessa Di Meglio sends a text from Berlusconi's residence to Tarantini at 5.52am asking "Who pays? Do we ask him or you?"

      More than 1 million tons of rare earth minerals were discovered in less than 1 square mile of Helmand province in Afghanistan, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
      The USGS found the rare earth elements in about one-quarter of a square mile in deposits in Helmand. A 2007 survey found an estimated 1.5 million metric tons of potential rare earth resources in southern Afghanistan.
      "This is just one more piece of evidence that Afghanistan's mineral sector has a bright future," Regina Dubey, acting director of a U.S. Defense Department business and stability task force, said in a statement.

    FDA Scolds Big Corn For "Corn Sugar" Ads & Websites - The Consumerist
      The Associated Press has seen a letter sent from an FDA director to the Corn Refiners Association in July. In which the agency writes, "We request that you re-examine your websites and modify statements that use the term 'corn sugar' as a synonym for (high fructose corn syrup)."
      But that was July, and yet CornSugar.com still operates because the FDA can't stop an ad campaign that only seeks to promote an entire industry. However, if someone were to change HFCS to "corn sugar" on an ingredients list before the FDA has signed off on the name change, then the agency has the authority to intervene.

Besser began to hold daily press conferences where he explained the United States government's reaction to the outbreak, which originated in Mexico, but had since spread to over 20 countries, with the United States the most affected by the virus's spread. Besser's handling of his press conferences drew praise from prominent American medical professionals such as Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. David Satcher.[2]

    Wall Street Insider: President Obama's Plan To Unionize The American Military | Newsflavor
      Wall Street:- As I did say -- the administration wants to unionize the American military.- All of it.- They apparently, if what this gentleman said is to be believed,...they wish to see the soldiers "justly represented".- That was the term that was repeated to me by more than one source.- It had...the conversation had originated as one about unionizing Wall Street workers and then the information about the military -- the actual plan for unionizing the military came out.
      Ulsterman:- And this person -- they were from the Department of Justice?
      Wall Street:- Yes...an affiliation of the DOJ, yes.
      Ulsterman:- Could you be more specific?
      Wall Street:- No.- I am surprised you were not told of this already.- I shared it with our acquaintance some time ago.- Can you imagine some 2 million more union members in this country?- With a stroke of the pen -- an executive order.- Can you imagine the cost?- The dysfunction?- How much we could be weakened, put at risk by such a thing?- The implications are...well, they are just too horrific to consider.- The last I had heard of this was...perhaps the 1970s.- And never coming from such a level within the government.
    Wall Street Insider: "The President Was...Just An Empty Shell" | Newsflavor
      Yes -- awhile.- There came a time when he seemed to lose focus.- You could see...it appeared the energy just left him.- Like he wasn't the same person who had walked into the room just 30 or 40 minutes earlier.- He...President Obama, he just seemed to shrink up into the chair.- And he started to look down at his watch.- Repeatedly.- Eyes were starting to glance back and forth at each other -- people communicating to one another what everyone was noticing -- how the president, mentally, seemed to have "left the building".- Well, now it was the president's turn to speak.- To give some of his own input and reaction to what others had been saying. He didn't stand up.- He didn't even straighten up in his seat.- President Obama just turned to his left and said, "Valerie?"-
      Ulsterman:- Valerie?- That's it?- That's all he said?
      Wall Street:- At that time -- yes.- He turned to Valerie Jarrett, and then Ms. Jarrett proceeded to explain the president's positions.- But the president was sitting right there.- It was surreal.- She would qualify everything with, "What the president believes is", or "what the president hopes to accomplish is" -- and that went on for a good 10 minutes.- The president didn't say a word -- it was all...everything was said by Valerie Jarrett.
      Ulsterman:- And how did the meeting end?
      Wall Street:- That was very interesting.- When it was clear the meeting was concluded, the president came back to life.- It was like somebody plugged him back in.- I am not...there is no exaggeration in what I'm telling you here.- Possibly just the opposite.- All at once he looked tall and strong, working the room again, smiling, clapping backs, and then he was gone.- The word -- I used it already, but the word I keep coming back to is surreal.- The president was two entirely different people in the span of an hour.- One was the President of the United States and the other was...the other was just an empty shell...

    Officials prepare to unveil North American border-security project
      The U.S. and Canada are preparing to launch a pilot project that would authorize American and Canadian law enforcement officers to cross the international land border in pursuit of suspected criminals or terrorists.
      The plan to create teams of "cross-designated officers" comes ahead of a broader Canada-U.S. border security and trade strategy expected to be unveiled in the coming weeks by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and President Barack Obama.
      "The creation of 'NextGen' teams of cross-designated officers would allow us to more effectively identify, assess, and interdict persons and organizations involved in transnational crime," U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said in a speech to a border conference earlier this week in Lake Placid, N.Y.

    Chrissie's UFO experience
    Nasa's 33
      Hi guys,
      I was listening to NA 339 when I caught something. When Nick Johnson of NASA was being interviewed about the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite falling from orbit, he stated that the satellite could land anywhere between 57 degrees North and 57 degrees South latitude. Adam thought this was ironic because the interviewer noted that this is where most of the population resides. But as a math geek and former professional sysadmin, I wondered myself why the number 57 was used; why not 55 or 60, as a few degrees here or there don't necessarily represent much of a difference, especially to the average slave who probably barely knows what the unit of measurement means.
      So I thought to myself that 90 degrees North is the North Pole and -90 degrees South is the South Pole. That with knowing 90-57 is 33, the NASA scientist was claiming there is a 33 degree latitude "cone of safety" around the North and South Pole. Another piece of the code?
