      What if Perry Skips the Debates? - NYTimes.com
        There have already been eight Republican presidential debates and there are 11 more scheduled just through the end of January. At this rate, there could be close to 30 debates if the nomination fight stretches months longer.
        The television networks are loving it -- the debates are getting record ratings and generating the kind of buzz-worthy political moments that drive cable news chatter for days.
        But the frequency of the debates is wearing thin -- very thin -- for some of the candidates, especially those whose performances have been judged to be less than stellar.
        A spokesman for Rick Perry, whose candidacy has faltered after several poor debate appearances, said on Wednesday that the Texas governor may not participate in some of the coming face-offs.

      Chelsea Clinton Mulls Congressional Run from New York State; 18th District in Westchester County Considered Likely Choice | Talk of the Sound
        Talk of the Sound has learned that Chelsea Clinton may run for Congress next year.
        Clinton has been approached by "the right people" in the New York Democratic Party, according to one source in Albany. While no decision has been made, Clinton is said to be "actively considering" a Congressional run from New York State in 2012.
        Chelsea Clinton, 31, is the only child of former U.S. President Bill Clinton and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
        The discussions of running Chelsea Clinton for a house seat grew out of the redistricting plans currently underway in the New York State legislature in Albany.
        The plan is to identify an open seat for Clinton in or around New York City where she currently resides with her husband, Marc Mezvinsky. While no specific district has been determined, New York City and Westchester are said to be the focus with New York's 18th District considered a strong possibility. The 18th encompasses much of Westchester County, just south of where her parents have maintained a home for the past 12 years.

      Shoring up Obamas support base Valerie Jarret attack
        Disgruntled Obama donors in the financial industry, reluctant to take their ire out on the president, have cast Jarrett as insufficiently sophisticated on economic issues and incapable of brooking any dissent about Obama.
        "I have always thought she was a liability," said one prominent investor and donor who, like many others, spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of angering the White House. "I've talked to people in the White House about it, and they have agreed with me, but they are scared to say anything."

      BBC - Democracy Live - MEPs back new anti-child pornography laws
        The proposals, which have already been agreed with the Council of Ministers, aim to increase the penalties for people convicted of child abuse and distribution of child pornography.
        During the debate on 26 October 2011, Maltese centre-right MEP Simon Busuttil said the law would be a "clear message that child abuse needs to stop".
        The proposal sets out minimum penalties for around 20 criminal offences, such as ten years for coercing a child into sexual actions.
        People convicted of possessing child pornography would face a sentence of at least one year, with three years the minimum for people convicted of distributing illegal images.
      'Rogue websites' bill introduced in US House
        "Internet Service Providers would face new and open-ended obligations to monitor and police user behavior," the CDT said. "Payment processors and ad networks would be required to cut off business with any website that rightsholders allege hasn't done enough to police infringement.
        "The bill represents a serious threat to online innovation and to legitimate online communications tools," it said.
        The Obama administration has come in for some criticism for shutting down dozens of "rogue websites" over the past year as part of a crackdown known as "Operation in Our Sites."
        US authorities in November, for example, shut down 82 websites selling mostly Chinese-made counterfeit goods, including golf clubs, Walt Disney movies, handbags and other items.

      VENITISM: FOURTH REICH DOES NOT NEED HAIRCUTS, BUT TAXCUTS
        VAT is a trademark of slavery and a destruction power of myriad watts. VAT is
        the main culprit of the Fourthreichian financial meltdown. The Fourthreichian
        taxation is based on the VAT monstrosity against poor people! The most unfair
        tax is VAT, the calamity of Fourth Reich(EU); that's why we urge all
        Fourthreichians to evade this tax of misery as much as possible! Fourthreichians
        are yoked with a 15-25% VAT, value added tax. In Canada, VAT is only 5%. The
        burden of VAT falls on final consumers of products. Refusing to pay abominable
        VAT is a heroic act. Vatwar is here to stay until VAT is abolished. Vatdodgers
        are heroes.
      Huge "Project Helios" plant planned for Greece: pv-magazine

      Greece to receive 100 bln euros under new bailout plan | World | RIA Novosti
        EU President Herman Van Rompuy said early on Thursday that the eurozone and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will give debt-burdened Greece another 100 billion euros to help stabilize its economy.
        He also told reporters after an emergency summit of EU leaders in Brussels that a deal had been reached with private creditors to write off 50% of Greece's debt, which could make the country's debt burden sustainable.
        Rompuy said the new deal will reduce Greece's debt to 120% of its GDP in 2020, while under current conditions it would have grown to 180%.
        In July, the eurozone leaders agreed a rescue package for debt-stricken Greece. The plan proposed providing an extra 109 billion euros of government money, plus a substantial contribution from private sector bondholders, as a supplement to a 110-billion euro bailout for the country launched by the European Union and the IMF.
        Private investors were expected to write off 21% of Greek debt, but the process dragged out in August, when the Greek crisis escalated and further write-offs became necessary.

        U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Tuesday during a visit to Japan that some of Libya's leaders had called for NATO to continue its mission "during this interim as they try to establish some new governance."
        But a NATO official, who could not be identified under standing rules, said the alliance had not received any formal request from the Libya's transitional government to prolong its air and naval patrols past the end of the month.

        Although methylphenidate, a stimulant used to treat A.D.H.D. and sold under brand names like Concerta and Ritalin, is not approved for use in children under age 6, physicians may prescribe it to them. And they may be doing so more often. Last week, the American Academy of Pediatrics revised its A.D.H.D. treatment guidelines, giving doctors a green light to prescribe drugs even to preschoolers with A.D.H.D. if behavioral efforts fail.

      New questions raised over 2001 anthrax attacks
        Two new investigations conducted in the course of the summer have called into question the claim by the Justice Department and the FBI that government scientist Bruce Ivins was the sole perpetrator of the anthrax letter attacks that killed five people in the fall of 2001.
        Ivins committed suicide in 2008 after the FBI publicly targeted him as its main suspect, prosecutors announced they were preparing an indictment, and the scientist was removed from his job at the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick in Frederick, Maryland. USAMRIID is the main US germ warfare laboratory, and the 62-year-old Ivins was a leading researcher into possible anthrax vaccines.
      Dark specks in flu vaccine 'no risk' | The Australian

      Will Parents Volunteer Their Kids to Test an Anthrax Vaccine?
        There are a slew of ethical questions associated with testing any drug on children, which is rarely done and has been ruled unlawful in certain cases by a U.S. judge. When it comes to something as risky as the anthrax vaccine, the questions are only magnified. The move to mandate the anthrax vaccine for military personnel (more than 2.5 million members of the armed forces have received it) remains controversial because of its harsh side effects. So it's hard to believe anyone would O.K. testing it in kids.
      Govt. recommends boys get HPV vaccine - FOX23 News
        A government panel is recommending that young boys also get the controversial HPV shot. That's the vaccine now given to girls to prevent cervical cancer.
        Doctors argue that it could protect boys against genital warts and some kinds of cancers. But they also say vaccinating 11- and
        12-year old boys could also help prevent the spread of the sexually transmitted virus to girls.
        The HPV vaccine has been controversial since it was recommended for girls five years ago. And only about a third of adolescent
        girls have been fully vaccinated against the virus. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices made the recommendation Tuesday.
      Possible study of anthrax vaccine's effectiveness in children stirs debate - The Washington Post
        The vaccine has been tested extensively in adults and has been administered to more than 2.6 million people in the military. But the shots have never been tested on or given to children, leaving it uncertain how well the vaccine works in younger people and at what dose, and whether it is safe. Unlike with measles, mumps and other diseases, the chance that children will be exposed to anthrax is theoretical, making the risk-benefit calculus of testing a vaccine on them much more questionable.

      Billions Lost in Secret Federal Reserve Funding of Iraq War -- News from Antiwar.com
        Since the beginning of the Iraq War in 2003, the New York Federal Reserve has been shipping tens of billions of dollars to the government and central bank of Iraq, ostensibly for reconstruction and resumption of governmental services after the fall of Saddam Hussein. Between 2003 and 2008, over $40 billion in cash was secretly shipped in trucks from the New York Federal Reserve compound in East Rutherford, New Jersey to Andrews Air Force Base outside of Washington, where they were then flown by military aircraft to Baghdad International Airport. In just the first two years, the shipments of dollar bills weighed a total of 363 tons.
        But much of that money was stolen, misappropriated, and simply lost. Despite Congressional hearings and reports, official inquiries from Washington to Baghdad, an investigating special inspector general's office and Department of Defense, nobody knows exactly what happened to the bulk of the money. Likely destinations of the stolen fiat, secretly printed out of thin air to fund the US government's illegal war and occupation in Iraq, went towards intricate contracting schemes, corrupt Iraqi and American officials, and brash, blanket appropriations in war torn Iraq.

        Because this situation continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the foreign policy of the United States, the national emergency declared on October 27, 2006, and the measures adopted on that date to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond October 27, 2011. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13413.
      We Can't Wait to Help America's Graduates | The White House
        We also want to provide immediate relief to borrowers already repaying their loans. While the pay-as-you-earn proposal would only apply to some current students and recent graduates, millions more borrowers may already be eligible for our current income-based repayment plan, which caps payments at 15 percent of a borrower's discretionary income. We know there are folks who are struggling in repayment now -- and for them the current Income Based Repayment (IBR) plan may be a great option. To learn more about this plan to see if it makes sense for you, visit www.studentaid.ed.gov/ibr.
        Second, beginning in January we will offer 6 million borrowers the chance to consolidate their loans and reduce their interest rates. Currently, these borrowers are repaying loans from two different programs, requiring them to submit separate payments and adding red tape that makes them more likely to default. Our special consolidation plan will allow these borrowers to make a single payment each month, with incentives to encourage on-time repayment. Borrowers who take advantage of this option will be eligible to receive a reduction in the interest rate on some of their loans by up to 0.5 percent, lowering their monthly payments and saving hundreds in interest. We will start reaching out to eligible borrowers in early 2012 to introduce them to this program.

      >> Congressman: Secret Report On TSA Pat Downs, Body Scanner Failures Will "Knock Your Socks Off" Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!
        The chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, which oversees the TSA, has asserted that the release of a classified report on TSA security failures will renew calls for the replacement of the agency with private airport security personnel.
        "The failure rate (for body scanning equipment) is classified but it would absolutely knock your socks off," Florida Republican, Rep. John L. Mica told reporters during a briefing Monday.
        Mica also asserted that recorded instances of pat downs failing to detect contraband are "off the charts." This information is also currently still classified, but is due to be released within weeks as part of an upcoming committee report on the TSA's first decade.
        Mica suggested that the TSA's performance report would read "sort of like the record of the Marx Brothers".
        The TSA has withheld results of its official security tests, despite repeated requests to release the information under the Freedom of Information Act.
        The Department of Homeland Security has classified the results of the most recent random, covert "red team tests," where undercover agents try to see what they can get past airport security. The reason they have done so, according to MIca, is because the results have been so shockingly and consistently bad for the past nine years.
      John Mica Attacks TSA 'Chat-Downs' As 'Idiotic,' Says Screening Failures Are 'Off The Charts'
        The chairman of the House committee that oversees the Transportation Security Administration blasted the agency's recent test of "chat-downs" of airline passengers, calling the pilot program "idiotic."
        House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman John Mica (R-Fla.) told reporters during a briefing Monday that the TSA's experiment at Boston's Logan International Airport -- in which officers engaged passengers in brief conversations to help detect suspicious behavior -- is "a mess."
        "This is no joke," said Mica, who has pummeled the TSA as a bloated bureaucracy with a mission he believes could be carried out more efficiently and cheaply by private companies under federal government supervision.

      Customer Outrage Forces Necco To Put Artificial Ingredients Back Into Wafers : The Salt : NPR
        When the people who make Necco Wafers changed their recipe to use natural flavors and colors in 2009, they thought they were doing their customers a favor. But then those customers told the New England Confectionery Company -- loudly, and repeatedly -- that they preferred artificially enhanced candy.

      The Ulsterman Report -- Obama Fast-Tracking Student Loan Bailout Plan For 2012 - The Ulsterman Report
        The plan, orginally proposed to take effect in 2014, would likely result in American taxpayers once again footing the bill in order to allow President Obama to appeal to the 18-24 age demographic that proved so integral to his election victory in 2008. Recent polling has suggested Obama's support even among this age group has fallen in recent months -- but perhaps a president willing to assist college students in avoiding their financial obligations will be just the ticket to once again get those kids motivated to vote for Barack Obama again in 2012 -- that is unless they are too busy dancing around the Occupy Wall Street protests sharing with one another how awful America is.
        Oh -- and one other thing. The president intends to do this via executive order. No need for Congress or the Constitution getting in the away of his re-election hopes...

The document from the Vatican's Justice and Peace department should please the "Occupy Wall Street" demonstrators and similar movements around the world who have protested against the economic downturn.

        The strange case centers on a speck of authenticated moon rock encased in an acrylic-looking dome that appears to be a paperweight. For years, NASA has gone after anyone selling lunar material gathered on the Apollo missions because it is considered government property, so cannot be sold for profit.
        Still, NASA has given hundreds of lunar samples to nations, states and high-profile individuals but only on the understanding they remain government property. NASA's inspector general works to arrest anyone trying to sell them.
        The case was triggered by Davis herself, according to a search warrant affidavit written by Norman Conley, an agent for the inspector general.

      Wounded Syrian protesters being tortured in hospital, claims Amnesty | World news | The Guardian
        Protesters wounded in anti-government rallies in Syria have been tortured and abused inside hospitals, and in some cases deliberately refused medical treatment, according to a damning report by Amnesty International.
        The human rights group said there was compelling evidence that the Syrian government was using hospitals as "instruments of repression" in its ongoing efforts to crush opposition. The report said medical staff, nurses and security officials had all physically and verbally attacked patients. Seriously wounded demonstrators suspected of taking part in anti-government rallies had been carted off from hospital to military jails, Amnesty added.

      HIllary's Angles
        To be a woman on the secretary of state's security detail, you have to be fast, smart, and tough--and willing to take a bullet, even if you're in heels. The number of women on the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's Protective Detail team is increasing - there are currently 13 with about a fifth of the force guarding Clinton. This is in part because three of the past four secretaries of state have been women. Their regimen is exhaustive, physically and mentally, with quarterly fitness and weapons-proficiency tests. They rehearse until the choreography of a crisis is etched into their reflexes. They learn how to fire four kinds of guns upside down, do 45 push-ups in two minutes, and jog for blocks alongside rolling motorcades. They are single, funny young women who wake up at 4:30 A.M. to meditate and 20 hours later fall asleep to the Food Network. They splurge on facials. They pack 100-calorie bags of apricots. And they can take down an assailant with one precise strike. They are Hillary's Angels.

    What if Perry Skips the Debates? - NYTimes.com
      There have already been eight Republican presidential debates and there are 11 more scheduled just through the end of January. At this rate, there could be close to 30 debates if the nomination fight stretches months longer.
      The television networks are loving it -- the debates are getting record ratings and generating the kind of buzz-worthy political moments that drive cable news chatter for days.
      But the frequency of the debates is wearing thin -- very thin -- for some of the candidates, especially those whose performances have been judged to be less than stellar.
      A spokesman for Rick Perry, whose candidacy has faltered after several poor debate appearances, said on Wednesday that the Texas governor may not participate in some of the coming face-offs.

    Chelsea Clinton Mulls Congressional Run from New York State; 18th District in Westchester County Considered Likely Choice | Talk of the Sound
      Talk of the Sound has learned that Chelsea Clinton may run for Congress next year.
      Clinton has been approached by "the right people" in the New York Democratic Party, according to one source in Albany. While no decision has been made, Clinton is said to be "actively considering" a Congressional run from New York State in 2012.
      Chelsea Clinton, 31, is the only child of former U.S. President Bill Clinton and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
      The discussions of running Chelsea Clinton for a house seat grew out of the redistricting plans currently underway in the New York State legislature in Albany.
      The plan is to identify an open seat for Clinton in or around New York City where she currently resides with her husband, Marc Mezvinsky. While no specific district has been determined, New York City and Westchester are said to be the focus with New York's 18th District considered a strong possibility. The 18th encompasses much of Westchester County, just south of where her parents have maintained a home for the past 12 years.

    BBC - Democracy Live - MEPs back new anti-child pornography laws
      The proposals, which have already been agreed with the Council of Ministers, aim to increase the penalties for people convicted of child abuse and distribution of child pornography.
      During the debate on 26 October 2011, Maltese centre-right MEP Simon Busuttil said the law would be a "clear message that child abuse needs to stop".
      The proposal sets out minimum penalties for around 20 criminal offences, such as ten years for coercing a child into sexual actions.
      People convicted of possessing child pornography would face a sentence of at least one year, with three years the minimum for people convicted of distributing illegal images.
    'Rogue websites' bill introduced in US House
      "Internet Service Providers would face new and open-ended obligations to monitor and police user behavior," the CDT said. "Payment processors and ad networks would be required to cut off business with any website that rightsholders allege hasn't done enough to police infringement.
      "The bill represents a serious threat to online innovation and to legitimate online communications tools," it said.
      The Obama administration has come in for some criticism for shutting down dozens of "rogue websites" over the past year as part of a crackdown known as "Operation in Our Sites."
      US authorities in November, for example, shut down 82 websites selling mostly Chinese-made counterfeit goods, including golf clubs, Walt Disney movies, handbags and other items.

    Greece to receive 100 bln euros under new bailout plan | World | RIA Novosti
      EU President Herman Van Rompuy said early on Thursday that the eurozone and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will give debt-burdened Greece another 100 billion euros to help stabilize its economy.
      He also told reporters after an emergency summit of EU leaders in Brussels that a deal had been reached with private creditors to write off 50% of Greece's debt, which could make the country's debt burden sustainable.
      Rompuy said the new deal will reduce Greece's debt to 120% of its GDP in 2020, while under current conditions it would have grown to 180%.
      In July, the eurozone leaders agreed a rescue package for debt-stricken Greece. The plan proposed providing an extra 109 billion euros of government money, plus a substantial contribution from private sector bondholders, as a supplement to a 110-billion euro bailout for the country launched by the European Union and the IMF.
      Private investors were expected to write off 21% of Greek debt, but the process dragged out in August, when the Greek crisis escalated and further write-offs became necessary.

      U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Tuesday during a visit to Japan that some of Libya's leaders had called for NATO to continue its mission "during this interim as they try to establish some new governance."
      But a NATO official, who could not be identified under standing rules, said the alliance had not received any formal request from the Libya's transitional government to prolong its air and naval patrols past the end of the month.

    Drugs to Treat A.D.H.D. Reach the Preschool Set - NYTimes.com
      Although methylphenidate, a stimulant used to treat A.D.H.D. and sold under brand names like Concerta and Ritalin, is not approved for use in children under age 6, physicians may prescribe it to them. And they may be doing so more often. Last week, the American Academy of Pediatrics revised its A.D.H.D. treatment guidelines, giving doctors a green light to prescribe drugs even to preschoolers with A.D.H.D. if behavioral efforts fail.

    New questions raised over 2001 anthrax attacks
      Two new investigations conducted in the course of the summer have called into question the claim by the Justice Department and the FBI that government scientist Bruce Ivins was the sole perpetrator of the anthrax letter attacks that killed five people in the fall of 2001.
      Ivins committed suicide in 2008 after the FBI publicly targeted him as its main suspect, prosecutors announced they were preparing an indictment, and the scientist was removed from his job at the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick in Frederick, Maryland. USAMRIID is the main US germ warfare laboratory, and the 62-year-old Ivins was a leading researcher into possible anthrax vaccines.
    Dark specks in flu vaccine 'no risk' | The Australian
      DARK specks floating in vials of swine flu vaccine posed no safety hazard, CSL has concluded after an investigation sought by the US Food and Drug Administration.
      CSL was aware a month before it launched its pandemic vaccine in Australia in September 2009 that "foreign particles" had been found in samples for the US market, the FDA reveals in its 2010 audit of CSL's Melbourne laboratory.
    Will Parents Volunteer Their Kids to Test an Anthrax Vaccine?
      There are a slew of ethical questions associated with testing any drug on children, which is rarely done and has been ruled unlawful in certain cases by a U.S. judge. When it comes to something as risky as the anthrax vaccine, the questions are only magnified. The move to mandate the anthrax vaccine for military personnel (more than 2.5 million members of the armed forces have received it) remains controversial because of its harsh side effects. So it's hard to believe anyone would O.K. testing it in kids.
    Govt. recommends boys get HPV vaccine - FOX23 News
      A government panel is recommending that young boys also get the controversial HPV shot. That's the vaccine now given to girls to prevent cervical cancer.
      Doctors argue that it could protect boys against genital warts and some kinds of cancers. But they also say vaccinating 11- and
      12-year old boys could also help prevent the spread of the sexually transmitted virus to girls.
      The HPV vaccine has been controversial since it was recommended for girls five years ago. And only about a third of adolescent
      girls have been fully vaccinated against the virus. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices made the recommendation Tuesday.
    Possible study of anthrax vaccine's effectiveness in children stirs debate - The Washington Post
      The vaccine has been tested extensively in adults and has been administered to more than 2.6 million people in the military. But the shots have never been tested on or given to children, leaving it uncertain how well the vaccine works in younger people and at what dose, and whether it is safe. Unlike with measles, mumps and other diseases, the chance that children will be exposed to anthrax is theoretical, making the risk-benefit calculus of testing a vaccine on them much more questionable.

    Billions Lost in Secret Federal Reserve Funding of Iraq War -- News from Antiwar.com
      Since the beginning of the Iraq War in 2003, the New York Federal Reserve has been shipping tens of billions of dollars to the government and central bank of Iraq, ostensibly for reconstruction and resumption of governmental services after the fall of Saddam Hussein. Between 2003 and 2008, over $40 billion in cash was secretly shipped in trucks from the New York Federal Reserve compound in East Rutherford, New Jersey to Andrews Air Force Base outside of Washington, where they were then flown by military aircraft to Baghdad International Airport. In just the first two years, the shipments of dollar bills weighed a total of 363 tons.
      But much of that money was stolen, misappropriated, and simply lost. Despite Congressional hearings and reports, official inquiries from Washington to Baghdad, an investigating special inspector general's office and Department of Defense, nobody knows exactly what happened to the bulk of the money. Likely destinations of the stolen fiat, secretly printed out of thin air to fund the US government's illegal war and occupation in Iraq, went towards intricate contracting schemes, corrupt Iraqi and American officials, and brash, blanket appropriations in war torn Iraq.
    Notice -- Continuation of the National Emergency with Respect to the Situation in or in Relation to the Democratic Republic of the Congo | The White House
      Because this situation continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the foreign policy of the United States, the national emergency declared on October 27, 2006, and the measures adopted on that date to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond October 27, 2011. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13413.

      We also want to provide immediate relief to borrowers already repaying their loans. While the pay-as-you-earn proposal would only apply to some current students and recent graduates, millions more borrowers may already be eligible for our current income-based repayment plan, which caps payments at 15 percent of a borrower's discretionary income. We know there are folks who are struggling in repayment now -- and for them the current Income Based Repayment (IBR) plan may be a great option. To learn more about this plan to see if it makes sense for you, visit www.studentaid.ed.gov/ibr.
      Second, beginning in January we will offer 6 million borrowers the chance to consolidate their loans and reduce their interest rates. Currently, these borrowers are repaying loans from two different programs, requiring them to submit separate payments and adding red tape that makes them more likely to default. Our special consolidation plan will allow these borrowers to make a single payment each month, with incentives to encourage on-time repayment. Borrowers who take advantage of this option will be eligible to receive a reduction in the interest rate on some of their loans by up to 0.5 percent, lowering their monthly payments and saving hundreds in interest. We will start reaching out to eligible borrowers in early 2012 to introduce them to this program.

    >> Congressman: Secret Report On TSA Pat Downs, Body Scanner Failures Will "Knock Your Socks Off" Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!
      The chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, which oversees the TSA, has asserted that the release of a classified report on TSA security failures will renew calls for the replacement of the agency with private airport security personnel.
      "The failure rate (for body scanning equipment) is classified but it would absolutely knock your socks off," Florida Republican, Rep. John L. Mica told reporters during a briefing Monday.
      Mica also asserted that recorded instances of pat downs failing to detect contraband are "off the charts." This information is also currently still classified, but is due to be released within weeks as part of an upcoming committee report on the TSA's first decade.
      Mica suggested that the TSA's performance report would read "sort of like the record of the Marx Brothers".
      The TSA has withheld results of its official security tests, despite repeated requests to release the information under the Freedom of Information Act.
      The Department of Homeland Security has classified the results of the most recent random, covert "red team tests," where undercover agents try to see what they can get past airport security. The reason they have done so, according to MIca, is because the results have been so shockingly and consistently bad for the past nine years.
    John Mica Attacks TSA 'Chat-Downs' As 'Idiotic,' Says Screening Failures Are 'Off The Charts'
      The chairman of the House committee that oversees the Transportation Security Administration blasted the agency's recent test of "chat-downs" of airline passengers, calling the pilot program "idiotic."
      House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman John Mica (R-Fla.) told reporters during a briefing Monday that the TSA's experiment at Boston's Logan International Airport -- in which officers engaged passengers in brief conversations to help detect suspicious behavior -- is "a mess."
      "This is no joke," said Mica, who has pummeled the TSA as a bloated bureaucracy with a mission he believes could be carried out more efficiently and cheaply by private companies under federal government supervision.

      When the people who make Necco Wafers changed their recipe to use natural flavors and colors in 2009, they thought they were doing their customers a favor. But then those customers told the New England Confectionery Company -- loudly, and repeatedly -- that they preferred artificially enhanced candy.

    The Ulsterman Report -- Obama Fast-Tracking Student Loan Bailout Plan For 2012 - The Ulsterman Report
      The plan, orginally proposed to take effect in 2014, would likely result in American taxpayers once again footing the bill in order to allow President Obama to appeal to the 18-24 age demographic that proved so integral to his election victory in 2008. Recent polling has suggested Obama's support even among this age group has fallen in recent months -- but perhaps a president willing to assist college students in avoiding their financial obligations will be just the ticket to once again get those kids motivated to vote for Barack Obama again in 2012 -- that is unless they are too busy dancing around the Occupy Wall Street protests sharing with one another how awful America is.
      Oh -- and one other thing. The president intends to do this via executive order. No need for Congress or the Constitution getting in the away of his re-election hopes...

      Still, NASA has given hundreds of lunar samples to nations, states and high-profile individuals but only on the understanding they remain government property. NASA's inspector general works to arrest anyone trying to sell them.
      The case was triggered by Davis herself, according to a search warrant affidavit written by Norman Conley, an agent for the inspector general.

    Wounded Syrian protesters being tortured in hospital, claims Amnesty | World news | The Guardian
      Protesters wounded in anti-government rallies in Syria have been tortured and abused inside hospitals, and in some cases deliberately refused medical treatment, according to a damning report by Amnesty International.
      The human rights group said there was compelling evidence that the Syrian government was using hospitals as "instruments of repression" in its ongoing efforts to crush opposition. The report said medical staff, nurses and security officials had all physically and verbally attacked patients. Seriously wounded demonstrators suspected of taking part in anti-government rallies had been carted off from hospital to military jails, Amnesty added.

      To be a woman on the secretary of state's security detail, you have to be fast, smart, and tough--and willing to take a bullet, even if you're in heels. The number of women on the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's Protective Detail team is increasing - there are currently 13 with about a fifth of the force guarding Clinton. This is in part because three of the past four secretaries of state have been women. Their regimen is exhaustive, physically and mentally, with quarterly fitness and weapons-proficiency tests. They rehearse until the choreography of a crisis is etched into their reflexes. They learn how to fire four kinds of guns upside down, do 45 push-ups in two minutes, and jog for blocks alongside rolling motorcades. They are single, funny young women who wake up at 4:30 A.M. to meditate and 20 hours later fall asleep to the Food Network. They splurge on facials. They pack 100-calorie bags of apricots. And they can take down an assailant with one precise strike. They are Hillary's Angels.
