clipper's remarks: American actress Lucy Liu speaks at a press conference to promote the film "Red Light" which she co-produced and narrated and which concerns children abused in the sex trade in Cambodia, at a hotel in Cairo, Egypt, Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2009. A UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, Lucy Liu is in Cairo for the 33rd Cairo International Film Festival, and visited UNICEF-funded anti-human trafficking programs specifically dealing with women and children.

CAIRO — Actress Lucy Liu, who has produced a film about children sold into the sex trade in Cambodia, says the fight against human trafficking will be long.

That assessment rings true in the Middle East, where stigma in conservative societies and a lack of data have frustrated activists' efforts. Highlighting those challenges, organizers of several UNICEF-funded programs Liu visited in Egypt did not even want to make details of their efforts public out of fear doing so would stir up controversy and pressure from conservatives.

In Egypt, the sex trade is often hidden under the guise of temporary marriages sanctioned by some religious figures and local authorities. Under these marriages, hundreds of underage girls in rural Egypt are essentially sold by their families for large sums to wealthy visitors from Gulf nations.

Egypt recently passed its first child protection law, which criminalized trafficking and raised the age of marriage to 18.

THERE ARE FAMILIES NOT EATING AT THE END OF THE MONTH

“There are families not eating at the end of the month,” said Stephen Quinn, executive vice president and chief marketing officer at Wal-Mart Stores, and “literally lining up at midnight” at Wal-Mart stores waiting to buy food when paychecks or government checks land in their accounts.

Among the steps Wal-Mart is taking to address the changes in shopping habits, Mr. Quinn listed an overhaul of the retailer’s private-label brand, Great Value, which is promoted in commercials describing how families can fix dinners with Great Value products “for less than $2 a serving.”

WHILE THE BANKS ARE DOING 'GOD'S WORK.'

WE SHOULD BE ASHAMED.

UN investigator accuses US of shameful neglect of homeless

UN special rapporteur says wealthy US ignoring deepening homeless crisis while pumping billions into bank rescues

A United Nations special investigator who was blocked from visiting the US by the Bush administration has accused the American government of pouring billions of dollars into rescuing banks and big business while treating as "invisible" a deepening homeless crisis.

The housing crisis is invisible for many in the US

US government does not tally the numbers but interested organisations say that more than 3 million people were homeless at some point over the past year. The fastest growing segment of the homeless population is families with children

Rolnik says that one of the greatest matters of shame is that the US has the resources to provide decent housing for everyone.

How US President created a market for Debt Settlement

Today more than 90 % American families want debt solutions due to the huge debt problem in the economy. An average American is a multi card holder and spends through his credit card on an every day basis. Family not doing too well at least posses one credit card. With loss of jobs and recessionary economy it is getting difficult for families to pay their credit card debts. People are looking for debt solutions to get out of debt and avoid bankruptcy.

In current turbulent economy people are unable to generate money to run their family expenses. Paying credit card bill is the last thing on their mind. The financial banks in order to keep themselves afloat are increasing the collection efforts with the delinquent customers. This effort is not paying up much to the financial institutions. As a matter of fact bankruptcy is becoming common as people are opting for it to stop the harassment from debt collectors.

(CNSNews.com) – More than 200 amendments were rejected by the House Rules Committee ahead of Saturday's vote on the Democrats' health care bill, including 11 that would have required members of Congress and other government officials to be enrolled in the same federal insurance plan proposed for the American people.

Critics of the health care bill said they offered the 11 amendments – including some that would require the president, vice president, and Supreme Court justices to give up their Federal Employees Health Benefit Program (FEHBP) to enroll in the ‘public option’ or Medicaid – to showcase the problems with the massive legislation.

“If it is good enough for American families, then it is more than good enough for Washington bureaucrats,” he said. “Therefore, I decided to offer an amendment which would mandate all members of Congress, their staff, and administration officials to participate in the public option.”

Veterans Day 2009: Thank you

clipper's remarks: They are casualties of war… and as far as I’m concerned, Sergeant Kimberly Munley, who took their cowardly attacker down, is a veteran today.

The terrorist enemy doesn’t have a formal chain of command that can sign an armistice, they don’t muster on clearly defined battlefields, and they’re quite happy to benefit from the efforts of deranged fanboys. If we don’t stand behind our professional soldiers, and give them the tools to do their jobs now, we will all become soldiers before this enemy is defeated.

Somewhere in the world tomorrow, an American soldier will ring in the eleventh hour of the eleventh day with gunfire. Another will arrive home after an honorable tour of duty, perhaps passing brothers and sisters in arms saying farewell to their families. A mother’s tears will fall on a letter from the far side of the world. Old veterans will spend a beautiful afternoon watching children play beneath the flag they raised at Anzio, Guadalcanal, Incheon, or Khe Sanh.

Happy 234th Birthday, Marines!

Doctor Zero on “The Eleventh Hour:”

On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of 2009, the wounded of Fort Hood will remember their fallen friends, and wonder how a man wrapped in enough red flags to turn him into a bloody mummy was allowed to infiltrate their base. Those wounded and dead rely upon us to ask the questions their superiors in the chain of command cannot comfortably answer. Calling the injured and dead of Fort Hood “victims” perpetuates the blindness that compelled those men and women to face the enemy unarmed.

Obama Ally Code Pink Targets Children of Military Families for Psychological Abuse

Obama Ally Code Pink Targets Children of Military Families for Psychological Abuse

This is not the first time Code Pink has waged psychological warfare on our troops and military families. Four years ago the group initiated a weekly protest at the main entrance to Walter Reed Army Medical Center where Code Pink held signs reading, “Maimed for a lie” and “Enlist here and die for Halliburton.” One Veterans Day, Code Pink protesters called the wounded warriors at Walter Reed war criminals and on other occasions have called them terrorists.

Benjamin, whose work prolonging the insurgency in Iraq with humanitarian aid and political support for the terrorists is believed by many military families to have led to the maiming and killing of thousands of American soldiers in Iraq, has now focused her energies on helping our terrorist enemies defeat America in Afghanistan by propagandizing against reinforcements for our troops.

We Must Be On Guard For Extremism

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:38:40 GMT

clipper's remarks: "When dealing with soldiers far from their homes and families and subject to the greatest imaginable stress, the Army needs to be on the watch for the predatory inroads of any form of political or religious extremism -- whether it be the jihadism to which Hasan was drawn or the Christian identity nonsense that inspired Timothy McVeigh."

Clip Source: www.latimes.com

There is a profound difference between watchfulness and a witch hunt.

In the aftermath of the Ft. Hood shootings, that's a crucial distinction, though nothing the authorities -- and particularly the U.S. Army brass -- have said so far has done much to help people make it

federal anti-terrorism operations intercepted 10 to 20 e-mails between Hasan and Anwar al Awlaki

On Monday, he praised Hasan as a "hero" on his website and urged other American Muslim soldiers to emulate his example.

Clearly, the FBI screwed up here, but so did the Army.

The Army's apparent willingness to ignore this may have had less to do with promoting "diversity" or "multiculturalism" than it did with the service's large financial stake in Hasan's medical training and the hard time the military has in recruiting competent mental health professionals.

there is a need for perspective that doesn't impugn the more than 3,000 Muslim soldiers now serving their country in the Army

Credit Debt Consolidation

There's nothing especially fun about finding yourself in credit debt, and even with the best intentions and efforts to maintain a positive and rewarding credit score, many people find themselves in this situation each year. It can be difficult to navigate the paths of using credit –especially in financially turbulent times. With unexpected losses in income, sudden expenses, and simple difficulty meeting pre-arranged payments, bills can quickly stack up and create a lot of mess, both in terms of paperwork and phone calls and for the peace of mind of debtors. Luckily, however, credit debt consolidation can help sort out the complexities of credit debt and put individuals and families on the right track towards resolving credit problems and regaining peace of mind.

The poll also revealed that more than 2.5 million parents are concerned about their children’s health ahead of their journey.

Common illnesses and injuries suffered by the young holidaymakers include gastroenteritis, fractures and deep cuts, the insurer found.
