clipper's remarks: ...and not everybody is happy. In fact, it would appear that very few people are happy. Check out the variety of groups that have mobilized to protest his arrival, as listed in the last paragraph.

If anybody can be less popular that George W. Bush down here, it is Ahmadinajad.

About 1,500 people took part this Sunday afternoon, November 15, in São Paulo, southeastern Brazil, in a protest against the visit to Brazil of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad scheduled for November 23. The demonstration occurred in Arcos square and reunited several social movements and religious groups.

Besides São Paulo, other nine Brazilian capitals also had demonstrations against the Iran leader’s visit. They happened in Belo Horizonte (Minas Gerais), Cuiabá (Mato Grosso), Curitiba (Paraná), Goiânia (Goiás), Manaus (Amazonas), Boa Vista (Roraima), Belém (Pará), Rio Branco (Acre) and Porto Velho (Rondônia).

The protests were called by the Front for Freedom in Iran, a just-created organization that brings together pacifist, anti-racist and human rights organizations. Jewish groups and evangelical and afro-Brazilian leaders also participated.

We humans are drawn to the shore, with some 40% of the world's population living within 100 kilometers of a coast. Coastal areas have made recent news with the arrival of several storms, concerns about rising sea levels and other environmental and conservation efforts. Collected here are a handful of photographs from around the world of people and animals at the shoreline, playing, working, struggling or relaxing on the border between land and sea.

Could mental relaxation be the key to physical health?

clipper's remarks: This is very interesting. I definitely think there is a connection between your mental and physical health. This study seems to prove it even more than I imagined.

After following about 200 patients for an average of five years, researchers said, the high-risk patients who meditated cut their risk of heart attacks, strokes and deaths from all causes roughly in half

compared with a group of similar patients who were given more conventional education about healthy diet and lifestyle.

Portraits of Native Americans taken between 1915-1920

clipper's remarks: These prints were recently uncovered by Denver Post librarians, tucked away in a folder in a file cabinet. The captions were hand written on the back of each print. Along with the prints, a page of the Denver Post newspaper showed that the prints were featured in the January 30, 1974 newspaper. On the page, the following text accompanied the prints:

William Pennington and Lisle Updike formed their business partnership about 1908 and opened a portrait studio in Durango, Colorado.

The two young photographers supported themselves with their portrait business, but satisfied their artistic urges by traveling around the Four Corners area in a wagon taking pictures such as the ones in the clip.

In the early 1900s, William Pennington and Lisle Updike spent most days traveling the four corners area of Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona in a wagon photographing the people and landscapes. The pair of photographers were based in Durango, Colorado where they leased a small space on Main Street and operated a photography studio. They traveled to the mountains and photographed miners and townspeople and visited Native American Reservations and Pueblos making portraits of the people. Their partnership was short-lived and Pennington soon bought out Updike and took sole control of the studio.

Most of the pictures shown here were taken from about 1915 into the 1920s, Updike said.

Irish government to pay immigrants to go home

clipper's remarks: aha, as is Denmark. So my question is answered--they have to go outside of the EU to qualify for the grants. I wonder if this is going to be an EU-wide action soon?

Clip Source: www.guardian.co.uk

Ireland is offering money to immigrants to leave the recession-crippled Republic. The Irish Department of Justice has confirmed that it is opening an EU-funded project to persuade foreign workers and asylum seekers to return to their country of origin.

A spokeswoman told the Observer this weekend that the scheme will only apply to non-EU nationals living in the Republic and would involve the department spending almost €600,000 this year to pay for immigrants and their families to return to nations outside the European Union.

"During the good times it was grand, but we can't afford the current situation unless the EU is willing to step in and pay for non-nationals."

Some academics, such as Dr Bryan Fanning of University College Dublin, estimate that the real figure is more than 20%, meaning Ireland's "foreign" citizens make up over one fifth of the Republic's entire population.

Cuba offers free penis implants

clipper's remarks: Will this be included in the new health regime of US?

Clip Source: www.abc.net.au

Cuba's government has offered its first free penis implants as part of a program set to be expanded across the communist island, an official newspaper reported.

It is likely not what Karl Marx had in mind when he imagined a society transformed "from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs", but Juventud Rebelde reported the silicon and silver penis implants are set to become more common.

Men in seven Cuban provinces will be eligible for the procedure, which urologist Juan Carlos Yip boasted was normally "exclusive to first-world countries and at a high cost".

"It will be carried out in patients whose sexual suffering does not respond positively to traditional treatments," he said.

Men over 40s and those with diabetes or circulation problems are set to be first in line, the paper reported.
