Goldman Sachs Get Priority Access to H1N1 Vaccine

clipper's remarks: Why?

Clip Source: act.credoaction.com

This is beyond outrageous. Pregnant women and children with respiratory problems struggle to get access to scarce doses of the H1N1 vaccine. But according to NBC News, bankers at Goldman Sachs enjoy a stockpile of 200 doses of the vaccine -- the same as allotted to Lenox Hill Hospital in New York

With hospitals, schools and community health clinics in desperate need of the H1N1 vaccine, it's unconscionable that Wall Street can just cut in line and secure scarce doses for bankers.

Goldman Sachs received over $1 billion in taxpayer bailouts during the financial meltdown. But that's not all. It was the single-largest recipient of taxpayer money in the AIG bailout, receiving almost $13 billion once AIG's positions were unwound.

And now, analysts predict Goldman Sachs could give its bankers as much as $23 billion in bonuses, while the rest of country struggles through the jobless "recovery."

GOP shouts down Women's Caucus on House floor

clipper's remarks: Obstructionist tactics in the health care debate.

Here's a nice mash-up.

Clip Source: www.huffingtonpost.com

On Saturday morning, a group of House Republicans -- led by Rep. Tom Price (R-Georgia) -- attempted to stop the Democratic Women's Caucus from making their arguments about how the health bill would benefit women by screaming over them.

Rep. Lois Capps (D-Calif.) only had time to say "Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to--," before Price shouted "I object." The presiding chair, Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.) made gestures to maintain control, declaring that "the request is not yet before the House" and that Price was "out of order," to little effect. Capps attempted to go on, but Price continued shouting "I object! I object! I object!"

The same shouting tactics were used on Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy (D-Ohio), who asked angrily, "Do I not have the right to be able to continue my sentence without objections that are trying to censor my remarks here on the floor that I have a right to make as a member of this House?"

clipper's remarks: The Republicans are just as pathetic today, as they were a week ago. Americans are just saying that they're disgusted with both parties, and local issues mean more to them than party affiliations.

But I suppose if the GOP don't have their delusions, they've got nothing whatsoever.

CCTV Surveillance Cameras Don't Reassure, They Frighten

clipper's remarks: Britain's network of 4.2 million surveillance cameras cause more fear

Clip Source: bps-research-digest.blogspot.com

People are no more fearful of crossing a street with a young male skinhead in it than they are a street with a smartly dressed woman present, unless, that is, a CCTV camera is overhead.

The new finding appears to undermine one of the key justifications for Britain's network of 4.2 million surveillance cameras: that they provide reassurance to the public. It seems that the sight of a CCTV camera can have the opposite effect, cueing the perception of a threat.

CCTV cameras may not be the only form of crime-fighting paraphernalia that can backfire by cueing a sense of threat. In a North American study conducted in the late 90's John Schweitzer and colleagues found that a plethora of "Neighbourhood Watch" signs increased people's fear of crime.

Image of the Day: A Spectacular Starburst Galaxy

N 2403 is a showy face-on spiral starburst galaxy in Camelopardalis- The Giraffe, with numerous many bright emission nebulae which can be seen as bright pink regions in the spiral arms. This galaxy is estimated to be around 12 million light years away.

The galaxy is the home of numerous Wolf-Rayet stars are evolved, massive stars (over 20 solar masses), which are losing mass rapidly by means of a very strong stellar wind, with speeds up to 2000 km/s. Wolf-Rayet stars are very hot, with surface temperatures in the range of 25,000 K to 50,000 K. It is believed that the star in the galaxy NGC 2770 that exploded into a supernova on January 9, 2008 — SN 2008D, the first supernova ever observed in the act of exploding — was a Wolf-Rayet star

Thousands of Muslim American soldiers

Ultimately, this use – or misuse – of fear and rumour over Hasan's Islamic faith should be moot in light of the record of the thousands of Muslim American soldiers who have served and made sacrifice – such as Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan, awarded the prestigious Purple Heart and Bronze Star and praised by Colin Powell, who now rests in Arlington cemetery after giving his life to protect and serve his country in Iraq. There are currently 20,000 Muslims serving with honour in the US military, according to the American Muslim Armed Forces and Veterans Affairs Council. If Hasan's faith is ultimately proven to be the misguided inspiration for his violence, then the brave and patriotic service of thousands of Muslim American soldiers renders him an isolated and aberrant exception.

Juveniles face jail for carrying spray paint

clipper's remarks: If the govt was as hard on criminals as it is on kids,
I know they would miss out on the bribes and other benefits of being corrupt, but they are well paid.

Children in New South Wales could be imprisoned for up to six months if they are caught carrying cans of spray paint without a legitimate reason.

The new measures are part of a crackdown on graffiti.

The State Government will make it an offence for juveniles to carry spray paint without an excuse, such as school work or employment.

The act will be punishable by fines of up to $1,100 or six months in jail.

It is the first time the courts will have the power to imprison minors for the act of possessing spray cans alone.

Premier Nathan Rees is also planning to announce an annual graffiti clean-up day, where community members will volunteer their time to help chemically remove paint.

Graffiti artist James McCallum says the Government is taking an uninformed approach that might have a lot of unintended consequences.

"Especially when you're talking about getting tough on in this case, kids who are disenfranchised, who are actually in doing graffiti, engaging with their community," he said.

Fort Hood, Texas (CNN) -- Thirteen flag-draped coffins left Fort Hood on Friday as authorities searched for a motive in the massacre that left more than 50 casualties at the largest U.S. military base.

Thursday's mass shooting killed 12 soldiers and one civilian and wounded 38 people at the Fort Hood Army Post in Texas. The suspect in the shooting, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a licensed Army psychiatrist, was among the two dozen who remained hospitalized Friday night.

'Twin Towers' Warship Launched

A warship built with steel salvaged from the World Trade Center has been put into service in New York.

Hundreds of US Navy officers and sailors and also families of 9/11 victims attended the commissioning of the USS New York in Manhattan.

"No matter how many times you attack us, we always come back," US Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus said.

The bow of amphibious assault ship has 7.5 tonnes of melted steel from the debris of the World Trade Center.

The ship's crest includes images of the Twin Towers and features the colours of the city departments that first responded to the terrorist attacks in which nearly 3,000 people died.

About one in seven of the 361 sailors serving on the ship are from New York state, a higher percentage than would normally be the case, a Navy spokeswoman told the Associated Press news agency earlier this week.

She said there had been many requests from Navy personnel to serve on the ship.

The $1bn (£602m) ship was built in Louisiana last month.

Boy, 11, declared reincarnated holy man

A US boy is not going back to school - after he was declared the reincarnation of a Buddhist holy man who first died in 1250.

Boston-born Jigme Wangchuk, 11, has now moved to India where he has been made the head of a Buddhist sect in the country's eastern Darjeeling city.

His parents say they discovered their son was not like other children two years ago when he started talking about his "past life". At first, they dismissed it as a childish fantasy, but began taking it seriously during a trip to a monastery in Mysore, southern India.At one point, he went into a trance in which he described a celebrated Buddhist monastery with a 35ft dragon on the roof.

Simple tips to deal with palpitations

An unexpected or sudden loss of rhythm in the way our heart beats is referred to as palpitation. Not all palpitations need be symptoms of a serious heart problem. Palpitation might occur occasionally due to fatigue, worry, stress or illness. You might be surprised to hear that a normal heartbeat occurs for as much as 36 million times in a year in our body. There is a possibility of that rhythmic beat of the heart getting slightly disturbed or losing its rhythm, due probably due to any of the above mentioned other conditions such as fatigue, worry, sickness or stress. In technical terms, palpitation is a fluttering or a pounding sensation in your chest, as the heart, due to loss of rhythm, either beats too fast or skips a beat.
