US physics professor: 'Global warming is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life' – Telegraph Blogs

I am sure that this 'guy' who is retired esteemed Professor, who is in the twilight of his career is actually taking big oil cash and criticizing all his colleagues for the same, right??

There is no way that a established scientist could take issue with the incontrovertible evidence of anthropogenic global warming unless he was getting paid, it could only be about money right

I don't wonder why gay people want to join the military, I wonder why anyone would join the military.

Ray Brescia: Strong Medicine: The Long-Term Health of the Housing Market Requires a National Foreclosure Moratorium

Ray Brescia: Strong Medicine: The Long-Term Health of the Housing Market Requires a National Foreclosure Moratorium: "Simply put, letting foreclosures proceed apace will not make the housing market more liquid, transparent or robust.

Instituting a temporary foreclosure moratorium in the face of admitted and widespread irregularities is not that radical an idea. Trampling on the due process rights of homeowners, engaging in widespread criminal conduct and jeopardizing the integrity of our property title system: those are the radical -- and risky -- actions. The practices that have weakened the housing market are the same practices that must be halted, even temporarily, while investigations are underway to determine how deep the problems lie. A foreclosure moratorium may seem like serious medicine: but the patient is sick, and her long-term prospects require a heavy dose of that medicine to bring her back to health"

Banks Breaking Into Occupied Homes In Foreclosure To Change Locks

Banks Breaking Into Occupied Homes In Foreclosure To Change Locks: "Sarasota's Herald Tribune reports similar cases: Renters in a Florida home apparently in foreclosure came home from the beach to find the locks changed -- and some of their possessions stolen. And a Sarasota landlord, the Herald Tribune reports, said Bank of America tried to change the locks on her condominium three times, even though she said the building wasn't even in foreclosure -- an often lengthy process that usually involves a default notice, a scheduled auction and, finally, a bank repossession.

As the Herald Tribune notes, the legal action against lock-changers has been civil, not criminal, because lawyers cannot establish that the banks have criminal intent. Still, it appears that the banks' agents take illegal liberties: In the rented Florida home, lock-changers reportedly stole a laptop, an mp3 player and six bottles of wine.

Bank representatives sometimes change locks even before foreclosure proceedings begin, Florida's Sun-Sentinel reports. Since banks hire local companies to change locks, the paper notes, it's often difficult to figure out who has actually done the lock-changing and on whose authority."

Pot raid at school turns up tomatoes - The Santa Fe New Mexican

Pot raid at school turns up tomatoes - The Santa Fe New Mexican

Espanola is a drug rattled community but this is ridiculous, I guess the New Mexican State Police provided the real lesson that day at school----- we live in a police state and that in America in the 21st century it is completely legitimate to raid a Montessori School, during lunchtime with swat and a helicopter gun ship.

Patricia Pantano the Director of Camino de Paz said she did not want to make too big an issue out of the raid, but questioned why such a commotion was necessary when anyone who asked would have been given a tour of the greenhouses.

"We're sitting here as a teaching staff, always short on money, and we're thinking, 'Gosh, all the money it takes to fly that helicopter and hire all those people, it would be great to have this for education.' "

After Growth, Fortunes Turn for Monsanto - BlackListed News

After Growth, Fortunes Turn for Monsanto - BlackListed News

The company’s stock, which rose steadily over several years to peak at around $140 a share in mid-2008, closed Monday at $47.77, having fallen about 42 percent since the beginning of the year.

....early returns from this year’s harvest showed that Monsanto’s newest product, SmartStax corn, which contains eight inserted genes, was providing yields no higher than the company’s less expensive corn, which contains only three foreign genes.

Monsanto has already been forced to sharply cut prices on SmartStax and on its newest soybean seeds, called Roundup Ready 2 Yield, as sales fell below projections.

Sales of Monsanto’s Roundup, the widely used herbicide, has collapsed this year under an onslaught of low-priced generics made in China. Weeds are growing resistant to Roundup, dimming the future of the entire Roundup Ready crop franchise. And the Justice Department is investigating Monsanto for possible antitrust violations.

Until now, Monsanto’s main challenge has come from opponents of genetically modified crops, who have slowed their adoption in Europe and some other regions. Now, however, the skeptics also include farmers and investors who were once in Monsanto’s camp.

Taliban in high-level talks with Karzai government, sources say: "Although Omar's representatives have long publicly insisted that negotiations were impossible until all foreign troops withdraw, a position seemingly buoyed by the Taliban's resilience on the battlefield, sources said the Quetta Shura has begun to talk about a comprehensive agreement that would include participation of some Taliban figures in the government and the withdrawal of U.S. and NATO troops on an agreed timeline."
