Since 2002, more than 90 people have been injured and 18 killed on the Eastern Shore in accidents involving Hispanic workers driving rogue vehicles.
The fatalities represent about one-fourth of the 71 highway deaths on the Eastern Shore in that period, even though the year-round Hispanic population makes up only 5 percent of the region's 51,000 residents. Those numbers swell during tomato-picking season, from July through early November, when most of the fatalities occurred.

A Chinese man who raised bears to tap them for their bile, prized as a traditional medicine in Asia, has been killed and eaten by his animals, Xinhua news agency said Tuesday.
Six black bears attacked keeper Han Shigen as he was cleaning their pen in the northeastern province of Jilin on Monday, Xinhua said.
"The ill-fated man died on the spot and was eaten up by the ferocious bears," it said, citing a report in the Beijing News.

Brazilians aren't waiting for high-priced hybrid cars.
Drivers are fighting rising gasoline prices by buying "flex" or "flexible fuel" cars that slurp more alcohol.
Alcohol made from sugar cane is becoming the fuel of choice in Brazil, and other countries - so much so that global sugar prices hit a seven-year high this week.
Regular car engines will run fine on a 10 percent blend of alcohol and gasoline. But by using computer sensors that adjust to whatever mix is in the tank, flex car engines run on either ethanol, gasoline, or any combination of the two. And they have been roaring out of dealerships here since Volkswagen sold the first TotalFlex Golf in March 2003.

It seems harsh to say that bad news for polar bears is good for Pat Broe. Mr. Broe, a Denver entrepreneur, is no more to blame than anyone else for a meltdown at the top of the world that threatens Arctic mammals and ancient traditions and lends credibility to dark visions of global warming.
Still, the newest study of the Arctic ice cap - finding that it faded this summer to its smallest size ever recorded - is beginning to make Mr. Broe look like a visionary for buying this derelict Hudson Bay port from the Canadian government in 1997. Especially at the price he paid: about $7.
By Mr. Broe's calculations, Churchill could bring in as much as $100 million a year as a port on Arctic shipping lanes shorter by thousands of miles than routes to the south, and traffic would only increase as the retreat of ice in the region clears the way for a longer shipping season.

Every U.S. soldier takes an express and solemn oath to “support and defend the Constitution.” That oath, however, is a sham because the troops do not support or defend the Constitution. Instead, when it comes to war the troops follow another oath they take – to obey the orders of the president, and they do this without regard to whether such orders violate the Constitution.
A textbook example involves President Bush’s war on Iraq.
The Constitution prohibits the president from waging war without first securing a declaration of war from Congress. By waging war on Iraq without the constitutionally required congressional declaration of war, the president violated the Constitution.
Some people pooh-pooh the violation, perceiving the Constitution as simply a technical document that can be violated whenever the president feels that “national security” – or even the welfare of foreigners – necessitates it.

According to a contact they are required to sign, male workers may not have any contact with Israeli women - including prostitutes, a police spokesman, Rafi Yaffe, said.
He said there was nothing illegal about the requirement and that no investigation had been opened.
An Israeli lawyer who did not want to be named said while the contract might appear legal, it would be rejected if challenged in court. "The point is that a Chinese worker will agree to anything and then will not have anyone to help them if there is a problem," he said.

But the Labor Department also reported that the widely followed consumer price index for all urban consumers, rose 1.2 percent last month and 4.7 percent in the 12 months that ended in September. That was the biggest monthly rise since March, 1980, and the biggest 12-month increase since May, 1991.

Writing for the Financial Times (7/15/05), Jim Cooper stated, "President George W. Bush has failed to impose discipline on congressional spending. His Republican Congress has, unsurprisingly, become headstrong and spendthrift as a result.

In 2000, a firm, Ag/Bio Con (4) developed a strain of fusarium oxysporum mold they called EN-4, and that the military calls FOXY. David Sands, vice president of the company and primary producer, lobbied the members of Congress to use it against coca fields. Congress even attached a string to an aid package to Columbia saying that to receive the aid, the country must allow the use of these mycoherbicides. This proposal was rejected by the Columbian President, but strangely outbreaks of EN-4 mold infestations starting showing up in other South American countries, such as Peru.(5) By international law, the US may not export or introduce potentially harmful bio-agents into the biosphere of other countries. The supposedly spontaneous outbreaks of the EN-4 strain of Fusarium, allowed the stuff to be pushed as a mycoherbicide, because it was already there. The reasoning was to attack the growing of illicit drug crops. There were reports that the supposed natural outbreaks of EN-4 were preceded by US helicopters spraying an unknown agent in the areas. The use of this kind of mycoherbicide was squashed and made illegal by the countries in the Andes, that had been pressured to allow the spraying. Jeremy Bigwood describes the history in this article (6), and warned in July, 2005 that:

Gorbachev's new headquarters,which is called the Gorbachev Foundation, is now located at NorthEastern University in Boston. I found this out several years ago when my son was attending college there. Every time we visited we saw Gorbachev in his limo or he was speaking in one of the campus buildings. I thought this was odd and finally checked into it. Most parents do not know that their children's school is the headquarters for the past leader of the Soviet Union. How bizarre is that?
I believe this is how we are being infiltrated.....not just by Gorbachev but also by others who are of the same mindset.These people are operating out in the open and many of us are accepting the whole scam.

And the women's claims of excessive force could be on tape, as the voices of officers John Curley and Michael O'Hara were on an audio recorder found concealed in the pants of one woman - who is being charged with wiretapping - according to a police report on the Sept. 9 Boylston Street incident.
``They have a hatred for God,'' Ann Cataldo, 50, her head supported by a cumbersome neck brace, said of the patrolmen she alleges hurt her neck and punched her as she was cuffed to her wheelchair.

Hurricane Katrina helped push inflation up sharply last month, guaranteeing that millions of Americans receiving Social Security and other federal benefits will see their payments rise in January by the largest amount since 1991, the government reported today.
But the Labor Department also reported that the widely followed consumer price index for all urban consumers, rose 1.2 percent last month and 4.7 percent in the 12 months that ended in September. That was the biggest monthly rise since March, 1980, and the biggest 12-month increase since May, 1991.

After nearly five years in office, the record is clear: President George W. Bush ranks among the biggest spending presidents in American history! With such a record, no person can honestly categorize G.W. Bush as a fiscal conservative. By comparison, Dubya's spending habits make Bill Clinton look like a conservative!
Writing for the Financial Times (7/15/05), Jim Cooper stated, "President George W. Bush has failed to impose discipline on congressional spending. His Republican Congress has, unsurprisingly, become headstrong and spendthrift as a result.

In 2000, a firm, Ag/Bio Con (4) developed a strain of fusarium oxysporum mold they called EN-4, and that the military calls FOXY. David Sands, vice president of the company and primary producer, lobbied the members of Congress to use it against coca fields. Congress even attached a string to an aid package to Columbia saying that to receive the aid, the country must allow the use of these mycoherbicides. This proposal was rejected by the Columbian President, but strangely outbreaks of EN-4 mold infestations starting showing up in other South American countries, such as Peru.(5) By international law, the US may not export or introduce potentially harmful bio-agents into the biosphere of other countries. The supposedly spontaneous outbreaks of the EN-4 strain of Fusarium, allowed the stuff to be pushed as a mycoherbicide, because it was already there. The reasoning was to attack the growing of illicit drug crops. There were reports that the supposed natural outbreaks of EN-4 were preceded by US helicopters spraying an unknown agent in the areas. The use of this kind of mycoherbicide was squashed and made illegal by the countries in the Andes, that had been pressured to allow the spraying. Jeremy Bigwood describes the history in this article (6), and warned in July, 2005 that:

In what may turn out to be one of the biggest free-falls in the history of presidential polling, President Bush's job-approval rating among African Americans has dropped to 2 percent, according to a new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll

Gorbachev's new headquarters,which is called the Gorbachev Foundation, is now located at NorthEastern University in Boston. I found this out several years ago when my son was attending college there. Every time we visited we saw Gorbachev in his limo or he was speaking in one of the campus buildings. I thought this was odd and finally checked into it. Most parents do not know that their children's school is the headquarters for the past leader of the Soviet Union. How bizarre is that?
I believe this is how we are being infiltrated.....not just by Gorbachev but also by others who are of the same mindset.These people are operating out in the open and many of us are accepting the whole scam.

It's not the Lenin ideology that Gorbachev wants buried to sleep in peace, but the American one. "Our purpose is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep," Gorbachev said in a 1987 speech to the Politburo.
