The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is warning that the U.S. current account deficit will hit $900 billion or 6.7 percent of U.S. gross domestic product in 2006. These very large numbers are caused by a continued reinforcement of global imbalances: on the one hand, a very low U.S. savings rate, high U.S. consumption fostered by very low interest rates, and cheap Asian goods flooding the U.S. market (cheap because Asia subsidizes their exports through low exchange rates). On the other hand, we have lackluster demand in Europe and some Asian countries, notably Japan. OECD chief economist Jean-Philippe Cotis told the Financial Times: “We are not saying there will be a doomsday tomorrow morning ... but because the adjustments [to global imbalances] are relatively slow, we are running the risk that an accident will happen. [..] Time is running out – the numbers are getting big, big, big.

Most of us know, either through experience or anecdote, that home loans have never been easier to get. This is surely not because Americans have become better credit risks. In fact, the opposite is true. Personal bankruptcies have been setting new records almost monthly, the average worker has seen no real income growth in more than a decade, and household liquidity has dropped off the charts. But in response, and to an extent few could have imagined even ten years ago, mortgage lenders have compensated by becoming increasingly creative as Americans have gone deeper and deeper into hock. Thus has 'creative financing' become an ironic euphemism for a process that is inherently destructive. Indeed, the erosion of mortgage lending standards has progressed to such a degree that nearly anyone not living in a cardboard box or under a highway can qualify for a loan with ease.

"He didn't have the income to qualify for the first loan, let alone the subsequent mortgages. He has no reserves, suspect credit and a stay-at-home wife. It is illegal for me to deny him a loan. It is illegal for me to ask him to verify his income if he is applying for a no income verification loan. But his loan was approved, which made me sick to my stomach. Today I had a conversation with him. I told him that if he wanted the loan, I could not stop him from taking it and that I would give it to him. I also told him that I believed he was lying about his income. I violated the law when I did this. He is also a non-white, which means if he wanted to report me for discrimination I would likely be disallowed from offering residential loans from now on.

"He didn't tell me whether he was lying or not but he did ask me what the consequences for getting caught were. I explained the concept of bank fraud, felony conviction, possible jail time, etc. His response was to ask me what the probability of getting caught was. I explained that the possibility was nil unless he lost the house through foreclosure; in which case the probability was high. Mind you this kid just claimed three times his real income on a loan application, is living paycheck to paycheck and only has three years on the job.
"And still he needed to mull it over and speak with his wife before deciding. I, on the other hand had just violated many industry regulations even by having the conversation with him and my stomach was in a knot because I thought he might still actually take the loan. Luckily he called me back this afternoon and said he would decline the loan and follow my instructions on how to get liquid and secure his future.

A toxic component of rocket fuel has been found in breast milk of women in 18 states and store-bought milk from various locations around the country.
The chemical, perchlorate, can impede adult metabolism and cause retardation in fetuses, among other things. It leaches into groundwater from various military facilities.
Previous studies have found perchlorate in drinking water, on lettuce, and in cows milk

Parliament, and not the Prime Minister, would make the final decision on taking Britain to war in future under proposals to be debated by MPs.
Clare Short, the former cabinet minister who is championing the move, yesterday claimed that she had the support of 200 MPs, including the Chancellor Gordon Brown.
The power to declare war was historically the prerogative of the sovereign, but has now passed to the Prime Minister, who has no obligation to gain the approval of Parliament.

In his misbegotten quest for empire, George W. Bush faces two potentially decisive shortages – money and soldiers. The deficits in boots and dollars are becoming acute. Precipitously falling military enlistments for a US military stretched thin in Iraq, Afghanistan, and 128 other countries around the world, indicate Bush has about 18 months to solve the boots problem. But it is America’s Blanche DuBois economy, whose debt levels – public and private – have gone parabolic, that threatens the entire imperial enterprise. Without the ready funds normally forthcoming from the Treasury bill market, a double malted of human kindness courtesy of foreign central banks, the president would have to rely upon a highly-indebted population that simultaneously has no savings and yet retains great expectations of the public purse. Clearly such a people can not carry the imperial standard. At least, not alone they can’t.

It's a curious line of attack from an administration known for rarely admitting a mistake.
In this alternate reality universe, the president never bestowed upon former director of Central Intelligence George Tenet, who told the president that the Iraq WMD intelligence was a "slam dunk," the nation's highest civilian honor, the Medal of Freedom.
In this alternative reality universe, Vice President Cheney never suggested that the evidence of ties between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden were "overwhelming." In this alternate reality universe, the president never warned that Iraq was seeking "yellowcake" uranium from Nigeria to build a nuclear weapon.
In this alternative reality universe, former Secretary of State Powell did not go to the U.N. to make an extensive argument about Iraq's renewed WMD program. In this alternate reality universe, America's image with Arabs and Muslims was pristine until Newsweek showed up, with its little Periscope item, and ruined everything.
This is all hyperbole, of course. This is not to suggest that the media shouldn't be held accountable for its mistakes. It should.

For the editors of the Wall Street Journal to accuse Amnesty International of “moral degradation” is a particularly brazen instance of projecting one’s own sins on one’s opponents. This is a newspaper that has championed every right-wing conspiracy against the democratic rights of the American people—from the scandal-mongering and attempted political coup against Clinton to the theft of the 2000 election. It has enthusiastically supported the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and justified the most criminal policies associated with these wars, including the torture of prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan and the indefinite detention without charges of prisoners at Guantánamo

A Los Angeles Times review called the song "a warning against blind acceptance of authority, including that of a president leading his nation to war."
"We were set to perform 'The Hand That Feeds' with an unmolested, straightforward image of George W. Bush as the backdrop. Apparently, the image of our president is as offensive to MTV as it is to me," Nine Inch Nails' leader
Trent Reznor said in a statement posted on the band's Web site.
MTV said in a statement: "While we respect Nine Inch Nails' point of view, we were uncomfortable with their performance being built around a partisan political statement. When we discussed our discomfort with the band, their choice was to unfortunately pull out of the Movie Awards."

The FBI is seeking broad new authority to expand its spying on mail sent through the U.S. Postal Service. A proposal under discussion by the Senate Intelligence Committee would compel postal inspectors to turn over the names, addresses, and all material appearing on the outside of letters and contents of postcards for any individuals the FBI targets for so-called terrorism investigations. The proposal would also prevent the post office from publicly disclosing the existence of these mail covers.

Depending on which press reports you read, the Zetas were either trained at Fort Bragg or the School of the Americas in the United States to serve in a special forces unit in the Mexican military. But the allure of money in the narco-trafficking business caused them to turn their special powers to the dark side.
Well, as with most mainstream media scripts on the drug war, the real story behind the Zetas is a bit more complicated. Narco News interviewed several former and current high-ranking DEA and Department of Homeland Security officials to get the straight scoop.
Here’s what we were told.
First, the Zetas are a very amorphous group that started out from a core of Mexican special forces defectors who over time have either recruited or trained additional members. But make no mistake about it; the Zetas are very good at what they do. One former DEA official says they are “better than the Secret Service.”
“In terms of weapons, communications, parameter control and security, these guys are very good,” he adds.
A major reason for their “professionalism” in this area is that many of the Zetas have received some specialized military or other tactical training from U.S. agencies, including from the DEA, FBI and U.S. military.
A former DEA officials who worked extensively south of the border during his career explains:
“A lot of the Zetas came from former Mexican police offices or the military, and some are even students from universities in Texas that work part time with the Zetas to provide security. So they come from a diverse background. Some of them have prior training from the DEA, FBI and the U.S. military, as well as other agencies. We go to great lengths to assure they are not engaged in criminal activity before training them, but later on they can be lured into drug business by the money. It happens … And they (the Zetas) are very organized and have recruiters, who are out constantly bringing in new people and training them.”
...
“These narco-traffickers are very astute, and they do use journalists to do campaigns against other competing groups and to make their group look like Robin Hood,” explains a former DEA supervisor. “So some journalists do write stories for money. Narco-traffickers do own some media people.”

Kind readers, the war that the valiant Aymara people from the Bolivian countryside have unleashed is a reality. Yesterday afternoon, despite the brutality they were subjected to, the Aymara maintained a sporadic siege of Plaza Murillo. And a few minutes past 3pm, as reported here, the police launched an offensive of gasses and low-caliber bullets to disperse the crowd… and to let President Mesa leave the Palace of Government and fly to Sucre for the Bolivian capital’s anniversary festival.
After this, for at least two hours more the police hunted down the Aymara farmers. Several trucks from the Special Security Group – this country’s riot police – circled the streets outside the Plaza de los Héroes, where the Aymara had held their council. They were looking for groups of leaders, to gas and arrest as many possible.

Now, what does this tell us about the way that “Sherlock Salazar” and “Gee Whizzer White” conduct business on the taxpayer payroll? Apparently, they made these two harassing visits to a prominent journalist, at his family home, and again at his office, without having talked to the U.S. Attorney for that region of Texas. (As one U.S. law enforcement agent told Narco News today, “that just is not done.”)
...
As for Agent Carlos Salazar (he’s the guy at 210-336-0036), I hope for his sake this wasn’t a rogue, unauthorized attack on the press on his part. Because, so far, every other public official that has tried to silence a Bill Conroy story has ended up causing himself (or herself) problems when his or her superiors read the facts reported in Narco News.

[Hello? Brainiac? You’re worried about wrist strain while you have your hand in a microwave oven? Come on. Why do you suppose you shouldn’t have this thing near metal? Because it is transmitting radiation into the metal of the rfid and it will do the same for whatever other metal you have around. Better take off your ring if you have one.]
The mouse pad contains internal circuitry that powers the mouse. If you experience interference with other radio signals, the mouse pad has a "tune" button; press it and the device reconfigures itself on a different frequency. On top of the circuitry is a flat, textured plastic pad that is optimally smooth for mouse use. There is practically no wrist strain in using the NB-50, and I found its textured surface to be comparable to the majority of expensive "gaming surface" mouse pads. The size of the pad is less than stellar -- about 6" wide and 8" long -- but is still suitable for everything I could think of during testing.
The mouse pad cannot be operated on any metal surface. Since the warnings about this are printed on the box, in the manual, and on the mouse pad itself, I figured it was in my best interest to avoid finding out why metal and power-over-RFID don't mesh.

In other words, the memo instructs ICE supervisors to ensure that if they come across a goose in the game of find-the-terrorist, then they should call it a duck.
As a result, based on the memo’s instructions, existing records originated by ICE and deemed to be terror-related are to be purged from the TECS computer system by reclassifying them to make them appear to be unrelated to terrorism. The deadline for completing this 4,000-record sanitizing task is April 11, two weeks from the issue date of the memo.
