      I'm a feature film music editor, composer and occasional movie producer in Gitmo Nation East, and a big fan of the show.
      I too was inspired by the "Open the Door, Mr Curry" clip to contemplate how great a movie could be about 2 cult podcasters on the run from "them".
      But, unlike the guys from Australia, I have done nothing more about it yet... except buy the domain 'noagendathemovie.com ', currently forwarding to noagendashow.com.
      But, as and when the guys complete their movie, I'll re-assign it to that.
      In the meantime, if they require a music score and some sound work, please pass on my details and I'll do it for nothing if you and John and the show in general get to benefit further down the line.
      Warm regards

  Presidential Proclamation -- National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month, 2012 | The White House
    My Administration continues to implement our comprehensive strategy to combat human trafficking in America. By coordinating our response across Federal agencies, we are working to protect victims of human trafficking with effective services and support, prosecute traffickers through consistent enforcement, and prevent human rights abuses by furthering public awareness and addressing the root causes of modern slavery. The steadfast defense of human rights is an essential part of our national identity, and as long as individuals suffer the violence of slavery and human trafficking, we must continue the fight.

    NDI Deeply Troubled by Raids on NGO Offices in Egypt | NDI
      "Cracking down on organizations whose sole purpose is to support the democratic process during Egypt's historic transition sends a disturbing signal," Wollack said.
      We hope that the authorities will allow the offices to reopen and return property so these organizations can continue their work, NDI said.
      NDI works in 65 countries worldwide. Its programs in Egypt are designed to assist the long-term development of civic groups, political parties, parliaments and government, with special attention to the active engagement of women and youth in the political process. The Institute does not seek particular electoral outcomes; does not align itself with any political party, ideology or candidate; and it does not provide financial or materiel assistance to political parties.
    Who Supports Our Work | NDI
      NDI receives funding to carry out its mission from a wide variety of donors, including the National Endowment for Democracy, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the U.S. Department of State, other international development agencies, private foundations and donations to date. Our funders include:
        The National Endowment for Democracy
        U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and Middle East Partnership Initiative
        United States Agency for International Development (USAID)

      "In addition to doing shows, they'll also be holding audience discussions on these issues of religious tolerance, and doing workshops and having some interviews with the press," Nuland said, adding that the seven city tour costs about US $100,000; of which the US Embassy in New Delhi is supporting them with a grant of US $88,000.
      Satyal and Usman, who created "Make Chai Not War", say that their comedy is not based on making fun of anyone's religious beliefs.

    Tensions flare as Egyptian military raids US-backed groups | smh.com.au
      RELATIONS between Egypt's military rulers and the United States threatened to hit a new low after security forces in Cairo launched unprecedented armed raids on several high-profile human rights and pro-democracy organisations. Egyptian authorities raided the offices of 17 domestic and international human rights and pro-democracy organisations, including several that receive US government funding, in a sharp intensification of the military's crackdown that recalled the tactics of the country's ousted authoritarian president, Hosni Mubarak. The raids in Cairo and other cities appeared to be an effort by the ruling military to intimidate non-governmental organisations that it accuses of promoting a ''foreign agenda'' and supporting protests against its rule. The move represented the most definitive sign to date that Egypt's military intends to run the country's post-revolutionary transition on its own terms and without interference from Washington, its biggest benefactor. Egypt's military receives more than $US1.3 billion annually in US assistance.
    Boston D.A. Subpoenas Twitter Over Occupy Boston, Anonymous | Threat Level | Wired.com
      That subpoena, as written, ostensibly asks for whatever identifying information Twitter has on anyone who used the hashtags #bostonpd and #d0xcak3 from 12/8/2011 to 12/14/2011, which could number in the thousands. occupy It's unclear if that's what the Boston police meant to do, or if they are unfamiliar with Twitter. It seems likely the latter, given that the @occupyboston account is a year-and-a-half old fallow account with four tweets. The quasi-official Twitter account for the Occupy Boston movement that was evicted in this time frame is @occupy_boston.

    Syria: invasion of terrorist elements sponsored by the west - English pravda.ru
      Official U.S. intelligence is the true leader of the "Syrian Free Army" The Muslim Brotherhood party, is calling for military intervention...Turkey against Syria, has a militia trained by the U.S. The Egyptian newspaper al-Arabi said on Friday that a colonel in the U.S. with the last name Cleveland is overseeing the operations of training and weaponry, and is the real leader of the "Syrian Free Army." The publication says that Cleveland is moving between the fields of training his organization. The colonel in charge of creating an army consisting of armed men opposed to the Syrian government, called "Syrian Free Army," said the U.S. had created training bases in Turkey to the north, in eastern Lebanon, and Arbil in Iraq. The Muslim Brotherhood party, which is demanding Turkey's military intervention against Syria, has a militia trained by the U.S. and their intelligence services. They are providing data and technical equipment to them. The newspaper added that the intelligence services that are funding and arming mercenaries to fight the army of Syria require that all armed groups call themselves "free army." Members of the Muslim Brotherhood admitted to being behind the protests in the province of Daraa in the south and Jisr al-Shughour in the north, and that they intend to form buffer zones as a prologue to military intervention. The article states that the page "Syrian revolution" on Facebook is managed by an intelligence network from Brussels, which had formed even before the events in Syria.

    A Funny Thing Happened on the Road to (Regime Change in) Damascus...
      The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claimed that the Syrian regime had secretly changed the street signs so as to trick the observer teams! Other rebels claimed that the government had pulled its tanks out at the last minute. Syrian Observatory president Rami Rahmane, claimed in the French press that "the retreat of the tanks was a 'ruse' and bombing could have started again at any moment."

      Hi Adam,
      Re the last episode, other federal webmasters have probably already
      let you know, but we seem to be using .net/.orgs now that Obama has
      suspended all new .gov domains. For us in the VA, our shining example

    Submariner Feedback
      Adam and John,
      I am listening to 369, and I heard you discuss the submarine that almost collided with the cargo ship. John asked what the ship was doing submerged in US waters. As a former submariner, I can tell you that at any given time there is at least one nuclear submarine at sea near every submarine base, and they stay either submerged or at periscope depth (mostly submerged) 99% of the time. The subs are usually out for either training or testing, but they are out there, and the amount of money that gets sunk into just one boat is ridiculous. You wouldn't believe the amount of money that the US Navy will pay, through their own supply system, for the simplest of parts.

    Iowa GOP moving vote-count to 'undisclosed location' - POLITICO.com
      The state party has not yet told the campaigns exactly where the returns will be added up, only that it will be off-site from the Iowa GOP's Des Moines headquarters. The 2008 caucus results were tabulated at the state party offices, which sit just a few blocks from the state capitol. Activist groups including the Occupy movement have indicated that they'll attempt to interrupt rallies in the closing days before next Tuesday's caucuses.

    Obama Signs Defense Authorization Bill | ThinkProgress
      "I have signed this bill despite having serious reservations with certain provisions that regulate the detention, interrogation, and prosecution of suspected terrorists," Obama said in a statement accompanying his signature.
      Against that record of success, some in Congress continue to insist upon restricting the options available to our counterterrorism professionals and interfering with the very operations that have kept us safe. My Administration has consistently opposed such measures. Ultimately, I decided to sign this bill not only because of the critically important services it provides for our forces and their families and the national security programs it authorizes, but also because the Congress revised provisions that otherwise would have jeopardized the safety, security, and liberty of the American people. Moving forward, my Administration will interpret and implement the provisions described below in a manner that best preserves the flexibility on which our safety depends and upholds the values on which this country was founded.

    US Civilians Are Now Helping Decide Who To Kill With Military Drones
      President Obama's enormous expansion of the U.S. drone program may be pushing too fast for military staffing to keep up. David S. Cloud of The Los Angeles Times reports the military is now forced to rely on a string of civilian contractors placed at all levels along the "kill chain." These are the people who analyze incoming drone video and decide when to fire Hellfire missiles. The practice is not new. According to Cloud, an American civilian played a "central" role in the Predator attack that accidentally killed 15 Afghans in 2010, information that "surprised" the investigating Army officer. Manning the drone fleet is a mounting issue in the Air Force. It takes more staff to fly a drone than an F-15, and with more drones than ever in the air, non-government employees are increasingly employed to analyze video, and keep the UAVs in the air.

    PIN houdt na ruim 20 jaar op te bestaan - Economie - VK
      Morgen gaat het merk PIN officieel ter ziele en zou er eigenlijk niet meer betaald kunnen worden door te pinnen. In plaats daarvan gaat betalen voortaan via het nieuwe pinnen, met een pasje met chip. De bedoeling was dat alle betaalautomaten op 1 januari om zouden zijn, maar dat is niet gelukt. Volgens betaalorganisatie Currence, eigenaar van het merk PIN, was in december ongeveer 95 procent over op het nieuwe pinnen. De rest moet in het eerste kwartaal overgaan, waarna PIN definitief ontmanteld wordt en er niet meer betaald kan worden met pasjes met alleen een magneetstrip. PIN stamt uit eind jaren tachtig, begin jaren negentig en werd opgericht op aangeven van De Nederlandsche Bank, die graag zag dat de banken een uniform betaalsysteem hadden. Via BeaNet werd dat uiteindelijk PIN, wat staat voor Persoonlijk Identificatie Nummer (PIN). In 1990 werd het bekende blauwe logo breed geˆØntroduceerd. In 1990 telde Nederland nog 4500 betaalautomaten, een jaar later werd er 22,7 miljoen keer betaald met een pinpasje, in 1992 wist het woord 'pinnen' zich een plaats te veroveren in de Van Dale.

    Next Low-Wage Haven: USA | Common Dreams
      For years advisers like the Boston Consulting Group got paid big bucks to tell their clients to produce in China. Now, they say, rising wages there, fueled by worker unrest, and low wages in Mississippi, Alabama, and South Carolina mean that soon it won't be worth the hassle of locating overseas. Wages for China's factory workers certainly aren't going to rise to U.S. levels soon. BCG estimates they will be 17 percent of the projected U.S. manufacturing average--$26 an hour for wages and benefits--by 2015. But because American workers have higher productivity, and since rising fuel prices are making it even more expensive to ship goods half way around the world, costs in the two countries are converging fast.

    Fisker Recalling 239 Karma Plug-In Hybrids for Fire Hazard
      Fisker Automotive is recalling all 239 of its 2012 Karma luxury plug-in hybrid cars because of a fire hazard, according to a report filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Prices on the 2012 model start at $103,000, including the destination charge.
      In a report filed recently on the agency's Web site, Fisker said some hose clamps were not properly positioned, which could allow a coolant leak. "If coolant enters the battery compartment an electrical short could possibly occur, causing a thermal event within the battery, including a possible fire in the worse case," the company told the safety agency.

    Dominating victory in Jamaica elections even surprises winning opposition side - The Washington Post
      During Thursday's election, voters threw out the Jamaica Labor Party after four years in power and delivered a landslide triumph to the main opposition whose campaign tapped voter disillusionment across the island. A final vote count is expected in coming days, but preliminary results give former Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller's party a dominating 41-22 seat advantage in the House of Representatives. A little more than half of the eligible 1.6 million voters cast ballots.

    Obama Gains Reputation as Distant in Washington - NYTimes.com
      "I just called Reggie," Mr. Obama said. It was his first domestic trip without Reggie Love, the former Duke University basketball player who had been his constant companion and presidential "body man" until he left in November to study for his M.B.A. full time. "I miss him," the president confessed. More noteworthy than Mr. Obama's spending the short flight calling his longtime aide is what he did not do: schmooze with Washington politicians. No one from the New Hampshire Congressional delegation traveled with Mr. Obama on the plane, a perk that presidents often offer to lawmakers to foster good will.

  GOLD
    Diamonds to Outpace Gold on Asian Spending- Bloomberg
      Diamond prices are poised to rise for the next four years, outpacing gold, as increased spending on luxury goods in China, India and the Middle East outpaces supplies of the precious stone, analysts said. Average prices for rough, or uncut, diamonds will probably climb 9 percent to $145 a carat next year, 1.4 percent in 2013 and 4.8 percent in 2014, according to Edward Sterck, an analyst at BMO Capital Markets. They may gain 2.6 percent in 2015 and 3.2 percent in 2016, he said. Gold will drop for three years starting 2013, following a 19 percent gain in 2012, according to the median of seven analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Demand for diamonds may grow at double the pace of supply through 2020 because of an expanding middle class in China and India, Bain & Co. said this month in a report that didn't give price forecasts. The two countries, and the Middle East, will account for 40 percent of global diamond consumption by 2015, up from about 8 percent in 2005, according to Anglo American Plc (AAL), which controls De Beers, the world's largest diamond miner. "We expect emerging nations, first and foremost India and China, to drive demand for diamonds in the upcoming years, while consumption among developed nations is likely to moderate," said Vladimir Sergievskiy, an analyst at Moscow-based Finam Investment. "On the supply side, the commissioning of new mines should be largely offset by depletion of mature ones."

    Dead blackbirds fall again in Arkansas town
      Blackbirds have fallen dead from the sky in a central Arkansas town for the second New Year's Eve in a row. KATV showed a radar image that it said showed a large mass over Beebe a few hours before midnight Saturday. The Little Rock television station reported that hundreds of birds had died. Beebe animal control worker Hearst Taylor told KATV the reason for the bird deaths isn't yet known. Last year, fireworks were blamed for the deaths of thousands of birds. It wasn't immediately clear if year-end celebrations are again to blame. Beebe police imposed an impromptu fireworks ban Saturday night. Biologists said last year's kill was caused by the birds being rousted from their roosts and flying into homes, cars, telephone poles and each other.

    EU imposes carbon taxes on airlines | World | RIA Novosti
      The European Union imposed carbon taxes on airlines in order to combat climate change, the fee get into force from January 1, 2012. Thus, all airlines flying to EU countries, are now obliged to get permits to cover their carbon emissions for the whole length of a flight, as well as to monitor the emissions and to report. They will get 85 percent of those permits for free, but the remaining 15 percent should be paid. The EU has assured that the allocation of greenhouse gas emissions for the airlines will reduce their overall by 5 percent. According to the European Commission, aviation accounts for about three percent of global carbon emissions. Experts expect that the introduction of carbon taxes on airlines will lead to an increase in ticket prices for passengers, from two to 12 euros ($2,5 - $15,5) on medium-range flights, and from four to 24 euros ($5 - $31) on transatlantic flights.
