Lobsters escape from Asian Supermarket in German city of Stuttgart
Dozens of lobsters destined to be boiled alive made a successful getaway from an Asian supermarket in the German city of Stuttgart in the early hours of Sunday morning, police said.
The clawed crustaceans, some of them up to 15 centimeters long, managed to crawl out of their crates, which had been poorly secured with wire mesh, then scurried across the floor of the supermarket and squeezed through the metal shutters covering the front of the store. The front door had been left open by mistake.
"The breakout was successful," Katrin Brandeis, spokeswoman for the Stuttgart police, told SPIEGEL ONLINE. "Passers by alerted the police at 1:45 a.m. reporting a large number of the animals heading down the street."
The escape may have saved their lives. "These animals weren't ever going to be pets," Brandeis said. "Now they've been taken to an animal home. The supermarket hasn't got in touch with us."
[ I have 3 pet crayfish - so perhaps people would have lobsters as pets. One of the first laws Hitler instigated was to outlaw boiling lobsters alive. ]

Feds probe S.F.'s migrant-offender shield
San Francisco juvenile probation officials - citing the city's immigrant sanctuary status - are protecting Honduran youths caught dealing crack cocaine from possible federal deportation and have given some offenders a city-paid flight home with carte blanche to return.
The city's practices recently prompted a federal criminal investigation into whether San Francisco has been systematically circumventing U.S. immigration law, according to officials with knowledge of the matter.
City officials say they are trying to balance their obligations under federal and state law with local court orders and San Francisco's policies aimed at protecting the rights of the young immigrants, who they say are often victims of exploitation.

California outlawing home schooling
The recent ruling handed down by the California Court of Appeal, 2nd District, ignited a firestorm among the home schooling community, creating uncertainty and raising the possibility of criminal prosecution among students and their families.
The court declared home schooling is not a constitutional right and parents who home school their children require a teaching credential. This ruling, which seems more political than prudent, could criminalize parents who choose to educate their own children at home because of personal beliefs.
Deciding that parents need a teaching credential to educate their own children is preposterous. Credentialing is used to hold the government accountable to parents in its hiring of teachers, not to hold parents accountable to the government.
[ This should be unconstitutional surely? ]

Italy lagging on de-Italianification
"We always thought of ourselves as a monoculture, but immigration is our present and future," said Franco Pittau, an official of Caritas, a Roman Catholic social service and development association that, among other things, monitors immigration here.
Franca Eckert Coen echoed that remark. An Italian Jew in an overwhelmingly Roman Catholic city who lives in an apartment filled with Jewish art, she was in charge of multicultural policy under the former mayor of Rome, Walter Veltroni. Ms. Coen recalled a year when Chinese celebrated their New Year with dragons around the Day of Epiphany.
"The newspapers said the Chinese were against Christianity," she said. "So we held a public event on the Campidoglio about Chinese culture and the New Year celebration, and now we have a Chinese parade each year."
"Little things," she called them. "They can overcome big fears. I saw all these immigrants become a little bit Italian citizens. Culture is crucial to give people here a chance to see that to be foreign is to bring a different ethnic life to the city, that diversity is a positive."

The Negro crime rate is a failure in integration - says Time Magazine
THEY are afraid to say so in public, but many of the North's big-city mayors groan in private that their biggest and most worrisome problem is the crime rate among Negroes.
But inequality of treatment by the police may actually tend to shrink rather than inflate the statistics of Negro crime. Says Newsman Wartman in the next breath: "When Negroes violate social morals sex, drinking, gambling white cops bypass this as 'typically Negro.' " Many Negro leaders protest that the police are far from diligent enough in dealing with crimes committed against Negroes and Negroes are the victims in the great majority of Negro crimes of violence. Since Negroes, even when they are victims or innocent bystanders, are often wary of calling the police, many offenses of disorder and assault go unreported when committed by Negroes in the depths of a ghetto.
But even heroic efforts by Negro leadership could only dent the Negro crime problem, because essentially it is a white problem. And it will remain a severe problem until Northern whites, private citizens as well as civic officials, recognize that Negro crime is basically a symptom of a failure in integration, and start attacking discrimination in the North with the same fervor they show in arguing for civil rights in the South.

ADL Disappointed In Supreme Court Decision On Gun Rights
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today expressed disappointment that the United States Supreme Court has curtailed the right of states to regulate firearms. In a 5-4 decision in District of Columbia v Heller, the Court's majority opinion held that the Constitution does not allow "the absolute prohibition of handguns held and used for self-defense in the home."
Glen S. Lewy, ADL National Chair, and Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, issued the following statement:
The culture of guns and violence is pervasive among extremists. This decision places our communities -- and the law enforcement officers that protect them -- at greater risk of violence.
[ This story headlines on overthrow.com. It is really silly of the ADL to suggest that gun ownership should be denied to those whose political opinions contrast to their own, especially while not making an issue of the fact that most gun crime is committed by non-whites within their own communities. ]

Chain of Chinese restaurants in Moscow sold mongrel dog meat as beef
A chain of Chinese restaurants has been recently closed in Moscow. The restaurants were selling the meat of slaughtered mongrel dogs as beef. Eye-witnesses said that they saw employees of one of the restaurants in the back entrance carrying sacks with something moving and squeaking inside.
Psychologists acknowledge that it is hard to describe such people as adequate individuals. "When a person has a choice of either buying food at a grocery store or killing an animal for food and when he or she chooses the second option, it testifies to aggressive conduct. They used to eat dogs and cats during war times, when people had to do that to survive. Nowadays, such people need psychological help. A human being willing to slaughter a pet can vent their aggression on other people," a psychologist said.
Indeed, over 85 percent of serial killers, including cannibals, used to torture animals before they started killing people.
[ The only reason there aren't Chinese doing this is the west ( at least not to the same extent) is because we would catch and prosecute them more efficiently. Really it is wrong just because the meat is unhealthy and because it is theft of someone's pet. Interesting comment suggesting that there is something mentally ill about killing an animal for food when you could buy it ready-killed in the shop. In fact the ability to kill an animal for meat is a valuable skill - as well as a way to save money and avoid hormone-saturated meat. ]

Somali Bantu teens find a welcome in Buffalo
Imagine... You're a young teenager. Your country has erupted into civil war, There's fighting, violence, genocide, enslavement, and you witness unspeakable horror. You make it to a faraway refugee camp, but may find yourself separated from your family. Finally, in a desperate international relief effort, the United Nations rescues you. You're sent to another country, and although you’re finally out of danger, everything about your new home is different and bewildering. You cannot read, write or understand your new language, and nobody understands the language you speak. How can you possibly survive?
This story is a reality for thousands of Somali-Bantu children and their families. They fled their native Somalia to Kenyan refugee camps and have ultimately been placed in the United States. More than 13,000 Somali Bantu refugees now live in the United States, and some call Buffalo their home. The majority of the Buffalo families reside on the East and West sides of the city, and their school-age kids attend Buffalo Public Schools.

Expert says worms and parasites drain U.S. poor
Diseases caused by worms and parasites are draining the health and energy of the poorest Americans, an expert said on Tuesday.
He said the diseases help to keep people mired in poverty, as infections may last years, decades or even lifetimes.
They include ascariasis, the most common human worm infection. It is caused by a parasitic worm that lives in the intestine, and infected just under 4 million people in 1974 according to the last survey, in the South and Appalachia.
"It's amazing what we tolerate," Hotez said. He noted the United States spends $1 billion a year preparing for outbreaks of diseases that have not occurred, including smallpox, anthrax and avian influenza.
[ Why aren't these diseases given greater priority? If a serious effort was made to combat these diseases it would be very expensive while also highlighting huge gulfs in society. That's why it's brushed under the carpet. This site doesn't advocate any need to treat this demograph anyway, since we stand against pluralism. ]

UK Metropolitan police force faces race claims from Muslim police chief
Britain's most senior Muslim police officer is preparing to sue his own force for racial discrimination. Assistant commissioner Tarique Ghaffur is expected to issue formal proceedings, taking Scotland Yard to an employment tribunal, imminently.
He is known to have been opposed to the proposal to extend detention of terrorism suspects without charge to 42 days, an idea championed by the Met commissioner, Sir Ian Blair.
Those close to Ghaffur say he felt increasingly sidelined and undermined and was unhappy that his contract was not extended by more than a year.
If as expected Ghaffur sues his force it will send shockwaves among ethnic minority officers across the entire police service. He has mentored many, and the prospect of the country's most senior Muslim officers claiming the police are prejudiced at a time when counter-terrorism officers are trying to increase the trust British Muslim communities have in officers, will be nothing less than damaging. Ghaffur angered some colleagues when he gave evidence in the criminal trial of fellow Met officer Ali Dizaei who was later cleared of corruption charges.
[ This looks like a concerted effort by Muslims to undermine the British state. The opposition to 42 days detention initiative is inevitable from Muslims, although it is supposed to be targetted only at fundamentalists amongst them. It seems that the more moderate Muslims may have deeper sympathies with fundamentalists than they publicly admit to. This is no surprise - Islam is meaningful to them and gives them ethnic cohesion while establishing their ambitions for dominance in a foreign land. Yet more proof of the failure of pluralism. ]

Russia likes to think of the US as it's main rival - but would China be more realistic?
Since border clashes erupted between China and the Soviet Union on the Ussuri River in 1969, Russian suspicions of Beijing have run deep. Chabola's officers are open about who they think Russia should truly fear: "the Chinese." One of the officers says that he read somewhere that Beijing has agreed not to pursue its territorial claims against Russia until 2015, "but what happens after that?"
These fears, as plainly as they are expressed by soldiers at this base, are merely worded somewhat more politely in the analyses of Moscow's political scientists. They write that the Kremlin and the military leadership still see the world through the prism of relations with the United States, and that Moscow is obsessed with a pathological desire for equality with its arch-rival and has no realistic understanding of future military dangers. According to the experts at the Institute for National Strategy, "the assumption that NATO is our main potential adversary seems rather doubtful today."
Russia should keep its eye on Beijing, says Stanislav Belkovsky, as he sits in the Akademiya Restaurant and broodingly stirs his cappuccino. According to Belkovsky, both China's propaganda and its military developments indicate that the country will expand primarily in the direction of Russia.
"What amazes us," says Belkovsky, the strategist who is so unpopular at home, "is that our leadership has simply ignored the Chinese threat until now."
[ In many respects China and Russia should be friendly towards each other and stand against the US/Israeli globalisation push. But since the US is on it's way out, and China is on the up, as far as superpower status is concerned, it really seems that China is a more realistic rival than the US. ]

British National Party benefits from disenchanted Labour Party supporters
The New Labour project relied on the assumption that its traditional support had nowhere else to go. But this is now changing, and the BNP has emerged as one beneficiary
Media coverage of the London elections focused, inevitably, on the victory of Mayor Boris. But even with a close-fought race pushing up turnout to a new high, the slow rise of the BNP continued as they gained a foothold in the London Assembly. This should not merely be a cause for concern, but for us to reflect on how our own party can respond.
The BNP polled 5.3 per cent across London and averaged 13.9 per cent in the 642 council wards it contested around the country. It now has 55 councillors and poses a serious threat across several regions in next year's European elections, not to mention the mayoral election taking place in Stoke-on-Trent next year.
There are some who still think that the BNP is a flash in the pan that will disappear as quickly as it emerged. But we are facing a shift in British politics. Traditional voting patterns are fragmenting as voters shop around for a party that best articulates their concerns and even prejudices. The emergence of the BNP is just one consequence of this change.
[ The BNP has been cleverly molded by leader Nick Griffin to appeal to these voters - with a pragmatic stance on race, and a manifesto that avoids the pitfalls of appearing to be concerned with only one issue. ]

Modern slave trade thriving
CONSIDERING it is a business that has provoked wars in centuries past, scant attention is paid to the modern slave trade. But one way to track the trade in people is the recently released annual report on trafficking in persons from America’s State Department. And it makes for gloomy reading. Though there have been improvements of late, the numbers of people involved are still appallingly high. Approximately 800,000 people are trafficked across national borders each year and millions more are traded domestically. The International Labour Organisation estimates that there are at least 2.5m people in forced labour at any one time, including sexual exploitation, as a result of trafficking.
Efforts to wipe out this modern slave trade are hampered because human trafficking is a big business. It is impossible to know the exact sums involved but recent estimates of the value of the global trafficking trade have put it as high as $32 billion. The United Nations Global Initiative to Fight Human Trafficking describes it as a high-reward and low-risk crime. People come cheap and many countries lack the necessary laws to target traffickers, or they are not properly enforced. Worse still, it is often the victims of the traffickers that are treated as criminals.
[ Westerners have no need to fear being forced into this kind of slavery. (We just have regular wage slavery). This is because our countries still have a lot of northern European blood. We are losing that fast. Far from the eradication of slavery - the future looks quite the opposite. ]

Ethnic studies class divides educators/community
Tom Horne came to tell reporters he thinks the ethnic studies program has racial undertones. At times during his own press conference, the superintendent of Arizona schools could barely finish a sentence.
"This is the rudeness they're taught in ethnic studies. They didn't learn that at home from their parents, they learned it from their ethnic studies teachers to be rude in that way," he says.
"They teach them that they are oppressed. Instead of teaching them as their parents and grandparents believe we came to this country because it's the land of opportunity," he says.

London's annual free anti-racist music festival is too white
The deterrent effect of this highly politicised atmosphere should not be underestimated. Although the event was supposed to be inclusive and attract people from ethnic minorities, the GLA's own research (conducted while Ken was mayor) shows that 65%-70% of attendees in the last two years were white. That is disproportionately whiter than the population of London. It seems reasonable to conclude that the political baggage and relentless sloganeering was actually putting people off. And no doubt many individuals and families who did come on the day were there primarily for the music or a nice day out.
Londoners deserve a great, free music festival with excellent bands from around the world. They don't need to be hectored about why racism is bad or accosted by activists explaining why Castro is a hero. We don't have anti-racist fireworks on New Year's Eve and we don't need to organise an anti-paedophile concert to prove our moral credentials on the issue. Sectarian political festivals are not the way Londoners want their money to be spent. Most of us, I suspect, just want to be trusted to get on with other people and not be instructed by activists about the dangers of racism.

Philadelphia police arrest activists because they are "hate group" but cannot think of charges
Four young residents of a North Philadelphia house who circulated petitions questioning police-surveillance cameras were rousted from their home Friday and detained 12 hours without charges while police searched their house.
Daniel Moffat, 28, a co-owner of the house, said police had no warrant when they entered. The house was examined by officials from several government agencies and then shuttered by the city's Department of Licenses and Inspections.
"This leaves me homeless, without access to things I need. My whole life is disrupted," Moffat said yesterday.
The raid on the property on Ridge Avenue near Parrish Street was led by 9th District Police Capt.

Japanese government urges jaw jaw, not war war regarding Iran
Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda has said it is essential that the sides concerned try to resolve Iran's nuclear issue through diplomacy.

Journalist claims South African xenophobic violence shows blacks are most racist
Anyway back to the question of which culture was the most racists, there was by now an uneasy silence in the crowd perhaps telepathically appealing to the comedian to get it over with. As if in answer to their prayers the famous comedian then answered 'Black people!' That´s right. In his words 'Black people are the most racist.' Why? Because in his words 'Black people sometimes hate black people too'. That comment of course is open to a debate in which everyone is entitled to an opinion. But whilst battling with our opinions entitlements can we for a micro-second stop and ponder if we are in actual fact entitled to our facts? Because the facts on ground stare at us everyday like highway billboards and advertisements. Maybe, just maybe - it's high time we embrace those facts.
The incident of 'foreigners' being attacked, displaced and killed in South Africa last month has been a cause for serious concern as official reports of late has put the death toll at 56, with the injured and homeless over 600 and 80,000 respectively . It beggars belief that these 'foreigners' who have been a victim of xenophobic onslaughts actually migrated into the country to earn a decent living, contribute to the South African economy whilst at the same time sending funds home to their families and relatives in their homeland. It´s mind-boggling that these 'foreigners' overnight became victims of the resentments of the locals because they have proven to be well educated and perhaps more hardworking â€"which in the shallow-minded views of the violent perpetrators translates to ´stealing their jobs.´ The tragic part of this civil impasse is the fact that those 'foreigners' aren´t really foreigners: They are Africans.

The result has been a kind of food Fordism. We are fed a production-line diet that is homogenised and bolted together from standard commodity parts.

We won't be Berlusconi's scapegoats, say Gypsies
The eviction, against the advice of Rome's police chief, was the latest sign of the disturbing groundswell of resentment building across Italy against the 150,000-strong Roma population. In Naples, a camp was recently firebombed. Near Venice, well supported demonstrations have mobilised locals against a proposed new camp agreed by the council. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's promise to get tough on the perceived lawlessness of Gypsies and foreigners earns him huge approval ratings and gives the green light to right-wing allies, such as Rome's mayor, Gianni Alemanno, to take drastic action.
The tide of ill-feeling against the Gypsies has become so strong that, for some, Friday's Euro 2008 match between Italy and Romania, which ended in a 1-1 draw, became an opportunity to offer support for the beleaguered minority. Some government critics declared they would support the Romanians as an expression of solidarity with the geographical roots of many of Italy's Gypsies. A group of protesters also took to the streets in the capital, including Roma women dancing in traditional dress, Italian intellectuals and slow-marching Jewish survivors from Germany's death camps.
Marking the first such demonstration in Italy, the protesters wore the same black triangle bearing the letter Z as worn by Gypsy inmates at the camps.

$40bn shortfall in Africa aid endangers 5 million lives
Just three years after the G8 group of leading industrial nations pledged a bright new dawn for Africa at the Gleneagles summit, the promises made to double aid to the continent are $40bn behind schedule.

Sex trade thrives in Afghanistan
Afghanistan is one of the world's most conservative countries, yet its sex trade appears to be thriving. Sex is sold most obviously at brothels full of women from China who serve both Afghans and foreigners.

If Johnny can't read and Sally can't add, it's often because of the color of their skin and their ZIP code, educators and activists said Wednesday.
The heads of the New York City and Washington, D.C., school systems joined with civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton and others to press for a shake-up of public schools from coast to coast to narrow the achievement gap between white students and black and Hispanic students. The group called the gap the nation's most pressing civil rights issue.
The group has yet to advocate any specific policies it wants to see enacted, but in general its leading members said they want to see greater accountability from teachers, more incentives to reward success, and greater parental responsibility for educating children.

SPLC explains why "White supremacists" look forward to Obama as president
With the nomination of Barack Obama as the Democratic presidential candidate clinched, large sections of the white supremacist movement are adopting a surprising attitude: Electing America's first black president would be a very good thing.
It's not that the assortment of neo-Nazis, Klansmen, anti-Semites and others who make up this country's radical right have suddenly discovered that a man should be judged based on the content of his character, not his skin. On the contrary. A growing number of white supremacists, and even some of those who pass for intellectual leaders of their movement, think that a black man in the Oval Office would shock white America, possibly drive millions to their cause, and perhaps even set off a race war that, they hope, would ultimately end in Aryan victory.
[ With so many white racial loyalists thinking this way it should be harder for Obama's future assassination to be falsely blamed on a neo nazi patsy. Thanks to the SPLC for publicising this.]

Japan must boost immigration - ruling party panel
Japan should tackle its dearth of young people by boosting the number of immigrants to 10 percent of the population, according to a ruling party panel report set to be presented to Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda next week.
Japan faces a bleak future as its population ages faster than that of any other country, and is set to shrink by a third in 50 years if current trends continue.
Foreigners made up less than 2 percent of the nearly 128 million population in late 2006, government statistics show, but many have expressed concern that crime could rise if more immigration was allowed.
[ Japan's problem is crowding. The crowding is one reason for the low birth rate. Importing immigrants is the will of the globalists - the nation destroyers. This action is against the will of the Japanese people. ]

Black-Latino racial tensions, not gangs, are at the heart of LA's violence
As a Latino raised in East Los Angeles, and as the elected sheriff of Los Angeles County for the last decade, I have seen many sides of the race issue. I have lived it, in fact.
So let me be very clear about one thing: We have a serious interracial violence problem in this county involving blacks and Latinos.
Some people deny it. They say that race is not a factor in L.A.'s gang crisis; the problem, they say, is not one of blacks versus Latinos and Latinos versus blacks but merely one of gang members killing other gang members (and yes, they acknowledge, sometimes the gangs are race-based).
But they're wrong. The truth is that, in many cases, race is at the heart of the problem. Latino gang members shoot blacks not because they're members of a rival gang but because of their skin color. Likewise, black gang members shoot Latinos because they are brown.
[ There has to be more to it than the hue of the skin of course. There is group solidarity through identity and there is rivalry over resources and territory as an ethnicity although this is not as direct as gang competition. ]

Jewish mega fraudster jumped bail and faked death
A disgraced former New York hedge-fund manager has sparked a nationwide manhunt after apparently faking his own suicide on the day he was due to report to prison to begin a 20-year sentence for fraud.
Samuel Israel III, a billionaire co-founder of the Bayou Group, is being sought by police after his car was found abandoned on the Bear Mountain Bridge in upstate New York with the words "suicide is painless" written into the dust on its bonnet.
The authorities said that no body had been found, and that they were keeping an "open mind". Mr Israel had been due to report to prison by 2pm on Monday after being sentenced in April for his role in a scheme to cheat investors of $450m (£230m).
Bruce Cuccia, a police investigator, said that no witnesses had seen anyone leave the vehicle or jump from the bridge, 40 miles north of New York. CCTV footage was inconclusive.

Do Crime Figures Mask A Truth?
Both violent and property crimes declined in 2007 from the previous year, nationally and in most of Connecticut's largest cities, the FBI reported Monday. But one expert warned the figures could mask rising murder rates among young black men.
Because the FBI preliminary figures do not contain the detailed age, race and gender breakdowns available in the final report later in the year, they may unintentionally mask a growing murder rate among black male teenagers and young adults, particularly with guns, said James Alan Fox, professor of criminal justice at Northeastern University.
"We shouldn't be fooled into thinking our problems are over," Fox said. He pointed out that from 2002 to 2006 the rate of murder committed by black male teens rose 52 percent.
"Violence is down among whites of all ages and both genders; it's up among black males, not black females," Fox said. "When you blend all the national numbers together you fail to see this divergence. There are many more whites in the population, so their decline can dwarf the increase among young black males."
[ There is no reasonable excuse for the level of crime amongst black men. If it was rising poverty, the trend would affect other races, and if it was oppression then black females would also be increasingly taking part in crime. This is down to the growth of gang culture, and its particular appeal to black men. ]

Populism in China means listening to the nationalists
Despite not having to face elections, China's Communist Party wants to be liked. Nothing wrong with that: but populism does bring some dangers.
But some Chinese worry that the party's efforts to boost its standing among the downtrodden, as well as to pander to rising nationalism, reflect a trend towards populism. The party was quick to side with nationalists who lashed out at the West in the wake of unrest in Tibetan areas in March. To its relief the earthquake helped defuse some of this anger, which was threatening to overshadow the Beijing Olympics in August. But the party still bends in the wind. Late last month officials agreed that Japanese military aircraft would bring relief materials to Sichuan. China changed its mind after vituperative outbursts online by nationalists, still angry with Japan for its occupation of China in the 1930s and 1940s. The material was sent by civilian aircraft instead.
In recent weeks some Chinese intellectuals as well as official newspapers have engaged in heated debate about the dangers of populism. In April China Youth Daily, a Beijing newspaper, published an article describing China's internet-savvy nationalists as "online Red Guards" infected by a "populist virus". This virus, it said, had had a serious impact on China's intelligentsia. Common symptoms, it said, included anti-Western, anti-democratic, anti-reform and anti-market thinking along with a love of Mao, the former Soviet Union and today's Russia. In countries with poorly developed market economies and undemocratic systems, it noted, populism was more likely to act like "dynamite". Its explosion could produce "despots or violent upheaval".
[ Populism in ANY nation would mean listening to nationalist sentiment - but our "democracies" refuse to do so. We are run by globalists. China and Russia are two nations who stand up to this. What this article in The Economist shows is that the globalists feel the Chinese government could yet be convinced not to please the nationally loyal amongst their population, and decide to join in with globalism. ]

A plant that discriminates to be loyal to kin
From its diminutive lavender flowers to its straggly windblown stalks, there is nothing about the beach weed known as the Great Lakes sea rocket to suggest that it might be any sort of a botanical wonder.
Yet scientists have found evidence that the sea rocket is able to do something that no other plant has ever been shown to do.

Canada apologises to Indians for years of abuse in schools
CANADA'S prime minister was to offer a public apology yesterday for his country's century-long policy of forcing Canadian Indian children into Christian schools to strip them of their aboriginal culture.
From the 19th century until the 1970s, more than 150,000 children were sent to the state-funded schools. Many were forced to leave their parents' homes, as part of a programme to integrate them into Canadian society, and became victims of physical and sexual abuse.

Students Fail and Professor Loses Job
These are the questions at the center of a dispute that cost Steven D. Aird his job teaching biology at Norfolk State University. Today is his last day of work, but on his way out, he has started to tell his story - one that he suggests points to large educational problems at the university and in society. The university isn’t talking publicly about his case, but because Aird has released numerous documents prepared by the university about his performance - including the key negative tenure decisions by administrators - it is clear that he was denied tenure for one reason: failing too many students. The university documents portray Aird as unwilling to compromise to pass more students.
A subtext of the discussion is that Norfolk State is a historically black university with a mission that includes educating many students from disadvantaged backgrounds. The university suggests that Aird - who is white - has failed to embrace the mission of educating those who aren't well prepared. But Aird - who had backing from his department and has some very loyal students as well - maintains that the university is hurting the very students it says it wants to help. Aird believes most of his students could succeed, but have no incentive to work as hard as they need to when the administration makes clear they can pass regardless.

Cuba to abandon wage caps
Cuba is to abandon egalitarian salaries after decades of government control in a bid to improve the nation's productivity, a senior government official has revealed.
It is thought that an end to the capped wages set up by Fidel Castro in 1959 could spark the beginnings of a new middle class in Cuba.
In an interview published in Granma, the Communist party's daily newspaper the minister for labour and social security, Carlos Mateu, said the current system gave employees little incentive to excel because everyone earned the same regardless of how much work they put in.
Many government-run companies had already stopped caps on salaries and the rest must do so by August, Mateu said.

Imams to teach in UK state schools
Imams will teach in state schools under Government plans for tackling extremism to be announced next week.
Ed Balls, the Schools Secretary, admitted today that a minority of children could be "at risk" from extremists and said that schools must be able to deal with radicalisation.
British-born imams will be drafted in to schools to instruct children about Islam and the Koran as part of the Government's
"Prevent" strategy, which aims to weed out extremism before it takes root.
Lessons will include teachings from the Koran and discussions about equality between the sexes, the sanctity of life and the rights of the individual. Mr Balls said the citizenship lessons would help young people to feel "part of their society, and resilient to those who seek to divide rather than unite".

Varg Vikernes "too dangerous for parole".
Convicted murderer Varg Vikernes is too dangerous to be released into society, according to justice officials. Government critics fear that his background as an ideologically motivated church-burning arsonist, and his connections with neo-Nazi groups, are making it impossible for him to get a fair parole hearing.
Case workers at the Justice Ministry fear that Vikernes will be unable to adjust to life on the outside after his years in jail. They have turned down his application.
"I can't understand it. They want me to make arrangements with social services, even though this is unnecessary. Must I be on welfare in order to be released? I have a house, a job and a family waiting for me," Vikernes told daily newspaper VG.
The authorities emphasize that Vikernes escaped from prison in 2003 and that he has ties to neo-Nazi groups.
"I haven't been in contact with them for a long time. Police security services know this," Vikernes responded.
Parole authorities refuse to comment on the reasons for rejecting his application, referring to the confidentiality that surrounds such hearings.

Oil price crisis threatens to reverse globalisation
With brutal efficiency, the oil price is beginning to duff up a monster of the 20th century: globalisation. Those great tentacles that gripped our world in a hideous embrace are suddenly weakening and the multinational octopus is looking a bit pale and sickly. The extraordinary rise in the price of crude oil is wrecking outsourced business models everywhere and distance from your customer is no longer merely a matter of dull logistics. Whether you are selling coiled steel or cut flowers, the cost of transport is a problem.
America's steel industry is enjoying an unexpected revival, its competitive edge sharpened by the tariff wall erected by the cost of shipping heavy, low added-value products across the Pacific. We hear fewer complaints from Americans about Asian steel-dumping; instead, it is Asian exporters who are feeling the pinch and the pressure is from inputs as well as shipping to customers.

Is Hollywood Whitewashing Ethnic Roles?
In the new movie "Stuck," which opened last week, actress Mena Suvari plays a young woman named Brandi, who, after a night of partying, strikes a homeless man with her car, sending him through her windshield, and leaves him to die.
The plot is based on the real-life story of Texas woman Chante Mallard, who, at age 27, was convicted of murder and evidence tampering, and given 50-year and 10-year concurrent sentences after she hit Gregory Biggs and left him to die stuck in her windshield.
Mallard is African-American. Suvari, the blonde, blue-eyed beauty from "American Beauty" and the "American Pie" movies, is not. But she does wear cornrows to play the role of Brandi.

NY Times makes an argument favoring amnesties for illegal immigrants
The United States has an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants, a record number. Its last mass amnesty program, which began in 1987, legalized 2.7 million. President Bush proposed an immigration plan that would give some workers a path to legalization. But it died last year under assault from people who said it would lead to more illegal immigration.
Europe has held at least 20 legalizations in the past 25 years, giving residency papers to about four million people. Italy and Spain account for about two-thirds of the total, to the consternation of northern Europeans who see the south as the Continent's weak back door. With free movement across much of Europe, legalized immigrants can easily head north, alarming those worried about job competition, welfare costs, cultural clashes or terrorist threats.
Southern Europe's tolerance for illegal immigration has several explanations. Its aging populations and booming economies created a need for foreign workers. Its proximity to northern Africa and eastern Europe places it close to countries that supply them. And its economies have traditionally depended more on off-the-books workers.

Mistrial Declared in Seattle Hate Shooting
A judge declared a mistrial in the case of the gunman who shot up the offices of this city's Jewish federation.
The King County prosecutor vowed to retry Naveed Haq, 32, who claimed he was not guilty by reason of insanity.
The jury said it could not agree on all but one of the 15 counts of murder and attempted murder against Haq, whose July 2006 shooting spree at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle left one woman dead and seriously injured five.
Haq kidnapped a 14-year-old girl to gain entrance into the building and began shooting as he reached the federation's second-floor reception area. He spewed anti-Israel and anti-Jewish slurs during the attack while decrying the Iraq war and Israel's 2006 conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon.

National Socialists Win Elections Across German State Of Saxony
Saxony, Germany -- The national socialist National Democratic Party of Germany won elections over the weekend in every county of the state of Saxony, winning representation on every county council and trouncing the Social Democrats in at least two towns.
This major election victory, which was the first in which the NPD contested every county council seat in the state, saw the number of votes for NPD candidates quadruple from 41,000 in the previous election to 160,000.
The election victory upset mainstream newspapers and mainstream government officials in Germany, who have repeatedly attempted to ban the National Democratic Party and who have jailed several of its leaders in recent weeks in an effort to discredit the organization.
Just like other dictatorships, the government of Germany routinely jails political opponents and abuses its power to corruptly influence elections and the electorate. Despite these repressive measures, however, resistance to the occupation government, still in force since World War II, has grown, and has found its channel in the form of the NPD.

How pluralism replaced courtship with instant seduction
During the first interval I decided to take a break on one of the benches at the back. As I sat there, contemplating how I should be more selective in choosing what charities to support, a tall, handsome, black man strode up to me and, without saying a word, thrust a card into my lap; then he swiftly walked away. I picked up the card, which had all his details, and wondered what on earth I was meant to do with it. The card said he was a former West Indies international cricketer. Did he think I looked like the type who'd want lessons? I was bewildered.
I continued compering the gig, and then, in the next interval, he walked up to me and said: "Well, make sure you call me." He then grabbed my hand and turned it over. "Good, no wedding rings. Call me and then we can arrange for you to come to Kingston Town. You will love it there, and you will love me, too."
"You're a bit forward," I said.
"Yes, that's how it should be," he told me enthusiastically. "English men are useless. They beat around the bush and nothing gets done."
I thought: "You wait all year for one, then when it does come along, it's harassment gift-wrapped in seduction."
Of course, I didn't call him, and I certainly had no intention of eloping to Kingston Town with a former Windies international cricketer. I can't do things like that: my parents are still alive.

Efforts to help keep world temperature rises under 2C will fail, says thinktank
Britain will find it 'impossible' to meet its target as part of the world's battle to ensure temperatures do not rise more than 2C - a key threshold for dangerous climate change, according to a study by a panel of leading experts.
The report 'Carbon Scenarios' by the Stockholm Network thinktank says that if existing policies and hopes of international agreement on reducing emissions were implemented, there would still be a 90 per cent chance the temperature rise would reach about 3C, a level that experts fear would provoke 'feedback' of more carbon by melting permafrost, threatening the world's forests.
If governments let policies 'stall and backslide' - as many appear to be doing - the rise would be 4.8C, says the study, to be published tomorrow. 'The two-degree target is impossible, and [a] three-degree target is implausible,' said Paul Domjan, energy fellow at the London-based European thinktank and an author of the report.

Albinos being "hunted" for their body parts
Discrimination against albinos is a serious problem throughout sub-Saharan Africa, but recently in Tanzania it has taken a wicked twist: At least 19 albinos, including children, have been killed and mutilated in the past year, victims of what Tanzanian officials say is a growing criminal trade in albino body parts.
Many people in Tanzania - and across Africa, for that matter - believe albinos have magical powers.

Severely affected areas included waters near East Liaoning, Bohai and Hangzhou bays, and the estuaries of the Yellow, Yangtze and Zhujiang rivers, as well as inshore areas of major coastal cities, he told a conference in the northern coastal city of Tianjin.
"Over the past 20 years or so, China's marine economy has been developing at a staggeringly rapid pace and marine resources are being widely tapped. As a result, the condition of China's inshore environment is deteriorating and the ocean ecology has been seriously damaged," Luan said.
[ China has a surprisingly strong green movement - hopefully the government will decide, in national socialist style, that the environment is important to preserve. But confidence in their good judgement would most likely be misplaced. ]

Group demands Venezuela envoy recall over Jewish conspiracy remark
A leading anti-Semitism watchdog group wants Venezuela's ambassador to Russia recalled.
The Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center says Ambassador Alexis Navarro made anti-Semitic comments.
Navarro was quoted by the daily Moscow News as saying that a failed 2002 coup that briefly ousted President Hugo Chavez involved Israeli Mossad intelligence snipers "who were Venezuelan citizens, but Jews." The remarks appeared in an interview the newspaper published on May 15.
The group said in a statement Friday that it wrote a letter to Venezuela's foreign minister saying the comments were racist and incite violence against Jews.

Equality has made dunces of children
Education, education, education? For shame, for shame, for shame. New Labour's failure to rescue state education, let alone improve it, will be its most disgraceful legacy. The Conservatives should not crow; when in office they also failed to take on the forces destroying education.
Each week the news is full of reports of stagnating standards, more university dropouts (one in seven students, despite government "investment" of £1 billion since 2003), a shortage of teachers, particularly in maths and science, and a majority of underqualified teachers. However, two dismal stories stood out last week, both as symptom and explanation of what is wrong.
One of the three leading universities in the country, Imperial College London, announced that in 2010 it would introduce an entrance exam for applicants because it cannot rely on A-level results. Sir Richard Sykes, the college's rector, suggested that grade inflation in A-levels made them almost "worthless" as a way of choosing between candidates: "Everybody who applies has got three or four As."
Behind the rector’s story and the professor's story lies the obstinate folly of generations of teachers and theorists of education. Obsessed with equality and social engineering, they refused to recognise the simple truth that children and students vary. Children are born with different abilities, into different environments, which exaggerate those differences: ignoring those differences is no way to help them all, nor is clumsy social engineering.

Obama nazi death threats scare
BARACK Obama is being shielded by a £50million security operation after death threats from twisted racist groups.
FBI chiefs believe at least three white supremacist organisations want to assassinate the Democrat aiming to become America's first black president.
According to the source, three groups believed to be targeting Obama are the National Socialist Vanguard, the American Nazi Party and the Ku Klux Klan.
Most dangerous of the hate-filled trio is the once-powerful Klan. The source said: "All three groups are seen as posing a threat. But the Klan, in particular, has a nucleus of supporters who are prepared to pursue violence to get their message across."

Oslo couple charged with mutilating their daughters
The mother and father of five daughters born and reared in Norway have been charged in what's considered the first enforcement and test of the country's new law against genital mutilation.
The couple is originally from Gambia but both partners are now Norwegian citizens. They have a total of six daughters, and five of the six have been subjected to genital mutilation, according to Hanne Kristin Rohde of the Oslo Police District.
Rohde told Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) Friday that the parents were charged because they allegedly contributed to the genital mutilation of their daughters. The father is being held in police custody, while the mother is ill and pregnant with their seventh child and considered too weak to be held by police.

Many white South Africans are moving to Australia
Last week I found myself, briefly, in the land of menace and fortified shopping malls, prestige cars and electric fences, natural beauty and violent crime. And I found myself thinking about all the South Africans migrating to Australia. For although public debate about African migration tends to focus on Sudanese refugees, many more African migrants arrive from South Africa - and they tend to be white.
"Packing for Perth" has become slang for whites leaving South Africa, so popular has Australia become as a destination. At the time of the 2006 census, there were 104,120 people in Australia who were born in South Africa. More than half had arrived since Nelson Mandela became president in 1994.

Zimbabwe: Robert Mugabe accused of using food as 'political weapon'
The US ambassador to Harare, James McGee, said that President Mugabe was using food as a "political weapon", allowing members of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change food aid only if they handed over their voting cards.
The claim came after the regime banned all overseas aid agencies and non-government organisations from working in Zimbabwe, ending the food relief they provide to millions of dependent Zimbabweans.
Mr McGee said the government was trying to become the sole distributor of food to help President Mugabe win the election in three weeks' time.

Al-Qaida threatens Norway
Terrorist organization al-Qaida, which has claimed responsibility for Monday's bombing of the Danish Embassy in Pakistan, now is making threats against Norway as well.
The Danish attack was another reprisal against a Danish newspaper's publication of caricatures depicting the prophet Mohammed wearing a bomb-shaped turban. Muslims around the world were offended, and many staged violent demonstrations at the time, also against some Norwegian targets because a small Norwegian magazine had reprinted the drawings.
Al-Yazid claimed that more attacks are in the works, and the targets will be embassies and diplomatic personnel from countries that also published the Mohammed caricatures.

'Unavoidable' attack on Iran looms, says Israeli minister
An Israeli minister has said an attack on Iran's nuclear sites will be "unavoidable" if Tehran refuses to halt its alleged weapons programme.
In the most explicit threat yet by a member of Ehud Olmert's government, Shaul Mofaz, a deputy prime minister, said the hardline Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, "would disappear before Israel does".
"If Iran continues with its programme for developing nuclear weapons, we will attack it. The sanctions are ineffective," Mofaz, who is also Israel's transport minister, said in comments published today by the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.
"Attacking Iran in order to stop its nuclear plans will be unavoidable."

Pakistani Earthquake Used as Opportunity to Steal Property from Widowed Women
According to the United Nations' Integrated Regional Information Networks, the earthquake in Pakistan at the end of last year was used as an opportunity to steal land and other property from unmarried women.
Typical of such victims is Zumera Bibi. The IRIN report describes how Zumera and her four daughters left their house temporarily after the quake. While she was gone, her dead husband's nephews seized the property and claimed it as theirs. According to the IRIN story,
Zumera has no sons, and as tradition dictates she and her daughters have no right to the property, which would revert back to the brothers of her husband on his death. Even though, under the law, her daughters should get at least a share in the inheritance, this is frequently denied to women.

Survey: Risky acts more likely for Hispanic teens
Hispanic high school students use drugs and attempt suicide at higher rates than their black or white classmates, according to a new federal survey that shows a continuation of a disturbing trend.
The study is the latest in a series of surveys of U.S. high school students every two years. The new report noted that black and white students are reporting less sexual activity than in years past, but there was no decline among Hispanics.
In addition, Hispanic students were more likely than either blacks or whites to attempt suicide, ride with a driver who had been drinking alcohol, or use cocaine, heroin or ecstasy.

German Newspaper Slammed for Racist Cover
The German newspaper Die Tageszeitung has a reputation for leftist social sensitivity. All the more bizarre then was its choice of a cover to mark Obama's victory in the race for the Democratic Party nomination: a photo of the White House under the headline "Uncle Barack's Cabin."
Gary Smith, executive director of the American Academy in Berlin, a private center which promotes trans-Atlantic relations, told SPIEGEL ONLINE Thursday that the cover left him "speechless." "'Uncle Tom' is a racial slur, and the Taz editors clearly sacrificed substance and principle for an unreflected laugh," he said.

Revealed: Secret plan to keep Iraq under US control
A secret deal being negotiated in Baghdad would perpetuate the American military occupation of Iraq indefinitely, regardless of the outcome of the US presidential election in November.
The terms of the impending deal, details of which have been leaked to The Independent, are likely to have an explosive political effect in Iraq. Iraqi officials fear that the accord, under which US troops would occupy permanent bases, conduct military operations, arrest Iraqis and enjoy immunity from Iraqi law, will destabilise Iraq's position in the Middle East and lay the basis for unending conflict in their country.
But the accord also threatens to provoke a political crisis in the US. President Bush wants to push it through by the end of next month so he can declare a military victory and claim his 2003 invasion has been vindicated. But by perpetuating the US presence in Iraq, the long-term settlement would undercut pledges by the Democratic presidential nominee, Barack Obama, to withdraw US troops if he is elected president in November.

German "national socialists for Israel".
"Stop the hatred of the Jewish people," the Web site reads. "The Jews are a healthy, strong nation."
The organization - whose members have yet to reveal themselves to the public - claims that Israel's right to exist is anchored in the principles of social Darwinism, the same principles which the Nazis adopted prior to the Second World War.
"Israel earned the right to live among the nations [after emerging] from unending wars," the group writes on the site. "Israel also has a right to exist. This nation also has culture... The nation of Israel is appreciated... It is our duty, as neo-Nazis, to defend this supreme success. Not just for the German people and the European cultural sphere, but also, especially, for Israel."
As such, "Nazis for Israel" also leveled criticism at their colleagues in the neo-Nazi National Democratic Party (NPD), calling them "politicos, cowards, and reactionaries."
"Show us proof of a Jewish plot to dominate the world," they wrote in a rare manifesto which was posted on their Web site.

Asian writing may block their creativity
The latest scholar to venture into such politically sensitive territory is William C. Hannas, a linguist who speaks 12 languages and works as a senior officer at the Foreign Broadcast
Information Service, a federal agency in Washington. In a polemical new book, "The Writing on the Wall: How Asian Orthography Curbs Creativity" (University of Pennsylvania Press), Mr. Hannas blames the writing systems of China, Japan and Korea for what he says is East Asia's failure to make significant scientific and technological breakthroughs compared to Western nations.
Mr. Hannas's logic goes like this: because East Asian writing systems lack the abstract features of alphabets, they hamper the kind of analytical and abstract thought necessary for scientific creativity.
The solution he proposes, switching to an alphabet, is hardly novel. It is an idea that has long been debated in countries like China, where using a computer keyboard can be a daunting task and people increasingly fall back on Pinyin, the Romanized Chinese script, for
data entry.
Mr. Hannas insists that he is not criticizing Asians. "I worry that people will misunderstand my claim that Asians are less creative in basic science to mean that Asians are lacking in intellect," he said. "Nothing could be further from the truth."
[ Asians do have a creativity deficit - they generally agree with that perception - and one reason could be that creative individuals have been killed for not conforming to strict protocols - thus reducing their genes in the gene pool. ]

Diminishing freedom of speech in the European Union
This framework decision will apply to all offenses committed within the territory of the EU and by any national of a Member State or for the benefit of a legal person established in a Member State. The definition of "racism and xenophobia" is constantly expanding, and increasingly includes practically all forms of criticism of Islam. The looming horror of the Lisbon Treaty notwithstanding, the repression of free speech and other civil liberties is already a fact in many European countries, as illustrated by the conference participants from those countries.
Denmark has more freedom of speech than any other country in Europe, yet the former leader of the Fremskridspartiet, Mogens Glistrup, was jailed for 20 days for saying, "Muslims multiply like rats, and when they are plentiful enough, they will kill us."
In Finland, a blogger known as Tomashot, who operated an anti-immigration website, was fined 825 euros ($1,300) and ordered to close down the site. The country's criminal code (section 11, # 8) states that a person "who spreads statements . . . where a certain race, national, ethnic or religious group is threatened, defamed or insulted, shall be sentenced for ethnic agitation to a fine or to imprisonment of up to two years." The authorities are currently working to increase the power of the "Anti-Discrimination Board" (Syrjintälautakunta) and to establish a "Super Ombudsman" to oversee all discrimination cases; he would also be able to penalize alleged offenders without a trial. In addition, the authorities intend to make the internet service providers responsible for the "racist" content posted by their clients.

Nasa climate reports 'swayed by politics'
Political appointees placed by the Bush administration into senior positions within Nasa's media headquarters acted to play down and distort accounts given to the public of the research findings of its scientists on global warming, an official investigation has concluded.
The space agency's internal watchdog, the inspector general, reports that from autumn 2004 until early 2006 Nasa's central public affairs office handled global warming in a way that "reduced, marginalised, or mischaracterised climate change science made available to the general public".
The confirmation of political interference is vindication for James Hansen, Nasa's chief climate scientist and one of the first to sound the alarm over global warming.

Huge Profits Casts Shadow over Holocaust Survivors Organization
Through the sale of property Nazis stole from Jews in eastern Germany that was later signed over to the organization, the Jewish Claims Conference has made a profit of about 1.5 billion euros. But not all of that money has been given to Holocaust survivors. Criticism of the powerful organization is growing in Israel and many are calling for greater transparency.
According to the JCC, the proceeds from these sales are used "for the benefit of Holocaust survivors." But representatives of victim groups question whether this is true and accuse the JCC of a lack of transparency and of having accumulated enormous reserves.

Extremist Violence the Norm in Parts of Germany
Christof Winter, a 25-year-old student, has documented countless incidents in Frankfurt, including attacks in broad daylight and fights in discotheques, as well as the omnipresent slogans and symbols in graffiti painted onto buildings. Winter knows many of the right-wing extremists by name. He prefers to ride his bicycle through the city instead of taking the streetcar. He also avoids discotheques. The neo-Nazis know him, just as they keep an eye on Katja Herrlich, 34, an attorney who has collaborated with Winter in his research. Herrlich says that she has felt threatened many times. She is already accustomed to local neo-Nazis addressing her by her first name on the street, saying innocuous-sounding things like, "Hey there, Katja." The message they seek to convey, she says, is that they know where to find her.
Uwe Adler, 36, of a citizens' alliance against right-wing extremism in Weimar in the eastern state of Thuringia, reports similar experiences. He belongs to the city's committee on youth affairs and once noticed two neo-Nazis known to local authorities sitting in the back of the room during a public meeting. They appeared to be taking copious notes on a discussion of problems among Weimar youth. "Right-wing extremists have embarked on a process of normalization in the country's cities and towns," says Adler. Some groups have even sponsored waste pickup campaigns in local forests, under the guise of "protecting the environment to protect the homeland."

Cannabis may shrink brain, scientists report
Smoking cannabis for long periods of time may shrink parts of the brain that govern memory, emotion and aggression, according to researchers in Australia. Scientists used magnetic resonance imaging to scan the brains of people who admitted to smoking more than five joints a day for at least 10 years and compared them with brain images taken from non-drug users.
Those who smoked cannabis regularly had on average a 12% smaller hippocampus, the part of the brain which is thought to be involved with emotion and memory, and a 7% smaller amygdala, which plays a role in regulating fear and aggression.
For the study, researchers imaged the brains of 15 cannabis smokers and 16 individuals who did not use the drug. The scientists, led by Murat Yücel at the University of Melbourne and colleagues at the University of Wollongong, said scans on larger numbers of people were needed to confirm the extent of the effect.
[ They can't yet be sure that people with a smaller brain aren't simply more likely to smoke cannabis in the first place. It's never allowed to make racial comparisons in brain size, which makes it harder to reach conclusions. ]

N secretary general:World food supply must rise 50%
A United Nations summit on resolving the world's food crisis opened this morning with a call from Ban Ki-moon, the UN Secretary General, for world farm production to rise by 50 per cent by 2030 to meet growing demand.
He called on leaders to lower export restrictions and import tariffs on food with immediate effect to avoid further hunger and malnutrition, which have caused riots in several Third World countries.
The three day summit, organised by the Rome-based UN Food and Agriculture Organization, follows massive food price rises over the past three years. Analysts blame the diversion of crops to make biofuel, drought and natural disasters, fuel costs, and speculation.
Ed Schafer, the US Agriculture Secretary, claimed that biofuels are responsible for only 2-3 percent of the predicted 43 per cent rise in food prices this year. America has invested heavily in biofuel technology. Other summit participants however said that biofuel accounted for 15-30 per cent of food price increases.
[ No suggestion that population growth in the Third World should be prevented. ]

BNP seeks to make a martyr of activist killed by Muslim elder
The British National Party sought yesterday to present the killing of one of its activists by a Muslim elder as an act of white martyrdom.
Khan, 50, was unanimously cleared of murder but convicted of manslaughter after a jury heard that he had endured racism, threats and violence from Mr Brown and his son, Ashley Barker, also a BNP activist. Khan was also convicted of wounding Mr Barker, 20. His son, Azir Habib Saddique, 24, was cleared of the same charge. Khan’s sentencing was adjourned.
The potency of the far Right claiming its first martyr dawned last year as six BNP councillors shouldered their fallen comrade’s coffin. To some white supremacist websites, Mr Brown is being built up as the Horst Wessel of the Potteries, a British equivalent of the Nazi songwriter shot dead by a Berlin communist in 1930. An online book of Condolence hails Mr Brown as "the first nationalist victim of Islamic jihad against Great Britain".
[Interesting how the victim is portrayed as dangerous in this report, mostly based on his minor convictions 30 years ago. But it was Mr Khan, who stabbed him in the back. It's very strange way of a self-defence.]

Brazil says biofuel production not to blame for food crisis
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has challenged critics who claim biofuel production is contributing to high food prices and demand, arguing the problem lies instead in poor agricultural and distribution models.
"It is not ethanol that is causing food prices to rise, because Brazil, which produces more biofuel also produces more food," he has said. That view has support among government analysts.
The food crisis "is a problem of wealth distribution, a political problem," said Giselle Ferreira de Araujo, who works for the state National Council for Scientific and Technological Development.
The United States had helped trigger the fears of biofuel production affecting food output by "confusing public opinion to suggest there is no difference between ethanol from sugarcane and from corn," argued Rubens Ricupero, a former head of the UN Conference on Trade and Development.
[ The biofuel from corn presumably does affect food prices - but Brazil makes a good point. None of this excuses their destruction of the rainforests, which is another issue entirely. ]

At Least 8 Suffocate at Soccer Match in Liberia
At least eight people suffocated at an overcrowded stadium during a soccer match between Liberia and Gambia on Sunday, a doctor and an aid worker said.
The 33,000-seat Samuel K. Doe stadium in Monrovia was packed beyond capacity for the World Cup qualifying match.
The rowdy crowd pushed up against a metal bar, causing the bar to snap and sending dozens of people careening onto the floor below. They fell onto others at the game, crushing them.
Thousands of people entered using fraudulent tickets, stranding real ticket holders outside. Stadium officials could not differentiate between the real and fake tickets and already had allowed too many people to enter before they realized their mistake.
[ Surprising they can even organize a football match in a stadium in Liberia. ]

Texas sized accumulation of plastic in ocean is killing wildlife and threatening human future
Kiernan says it’s killing wildlife in a vicious cycle. Holding an ashtray filled with colorful pieces of plastic he told The Sydney Morning Herald, "this is the contents of a fleshy-footed shearwater's stomach. They go to the ocean to fish but there ain't no fish - there's plastic. They then regurgitate it down the necks of their fledglings and it kills them. After the birds decompose, the plastic gets washed back into the ocean where it can kill again. It's a form of ghost fishing, where it goes on and on."
A Dutch study in the North Sea of fulmar seabirds concluded 95 per cent of the birds had plastic in their stomachs. More than 1600 pieces were found in the stomach of one bird in Belgium.
The United Nations Environment Program says plastic is accountable for the deaths of more than a million seabirds and more than 100,000 marine mammals such as whales, dolphins and seals every year.
Since his first encounter with the gyre in 1997, Moore created the Algalita Marine Research Foundation to help study the problem. Canadian filmmaker Ian Connacher joined Moore last year to film the garbage patch for his documentary, I Am Plastic.
"The most menacing part is those little bits of plastic start looking like food for certain animals, or the filter feeders don't have any choice, they just pick them up," noted Connacher.
[ The article says there is too much to clear up and it is too difficult. All we can do is increase recycling and develop/use more bioplastics. ]

Man-Made Noise May Be Altering Earth's Ecology
Krause has a word for the pristine acoustics of nature: biophony. It's what the world sounds like in the absence of humans. But in 40 percent of the locations where Krause has recorded over the past 40 years, human-generated noise has infiltrated the wilderness. "It's getting harder and harder to find places that aren't contaminated," he says.
This isn't just a matter of aesthetics. The contamination of biophony may soon become a serious environmental issue â€" Krause says that man-made sounds are already wreaking havoc with animal communication. We worry about the carbon emissions from SUVs and airplanes; maybe we should be equally concerned about the racket they cause.
Krause's argument is simple. In a biophony, animals divide up the acoustic spectrum so they don't interfere with one another's voices. He shows me a spectrogram of a wilderness recording, in which all the component noises are mapped according to pitch. It looks like the musical score for an orchestra, with each instrument in its place. No two species are using the same frequency. "That's part of how they coexist so well," Krause says. When they issue mating calls or all-important warning cries, they aren't masked by the noises of other animals.
[ An important discovery. The way the animal calls are so different to each other has evolved in an ecosystem over millions of years - human noise ruins it all. ]

Democrats angry at injustice done to them as whites.
Seeing white Democrats furiously protesting that they are getting a raw deal, as whites, reminds me of a remark by a southern paleocon at Chronicles many years ago, that he could never adjust to the idea of the Republicans being the party of white Southerners. There's definitely something to that. The Republicans--and their predecessors the Whigs--were the party of the commercial, rising classes and the infant globalists, not the party of the aristocrats, and not the party of the common man, the working man. The Democrats were the party of the working man, specifically the white working man. And the amazing spectacle we're witnessing now is the resurgence of the white working man and woman (albeit in a changed, modern incarnation) in the Democratic party. Or rather their rebellion against the Democratic party.
Did any pundit a year ago predict anything remotely like what we're seeing now?
[ I doubt this effect was anticipated by the Democrat party at all. Let's hope it's the start of a racial awakening. ]

Wax Hitler at Berlin Madame Tussauds causes outrage
Hitler is back in Berlin as a wax figure at a new Madame Tussauds wax museum, and some German politicians are outraged.
The figure is "tasteless beyond compare," Christian Democratic Union (CDU) politician Michael Braun told German daily Der Tagesspiegel on Thursday.
Social Democratic (SPD) culture specialist Brigitte Lang told the paper she found the idea "unspeakable."
The wax Adolf Hitler figure is not in any way glorified. He is posed as an aging, timid man sitting in a bunker.
[ Such is Hitler's power that there is fear at the very idea of him. ]

TAU mathematician finds humanity was genetically divided for as much as 100,000 years
The human race was divided into two separate groups within Africa for as much as half of its existence, says a Tel Aviv University mathematician. Climate change, reduction in populations and harsh conditions may have caused and maintained the separation.
Dr. Saharon Rosset, from the School of Mathematical Sciences at Tel Aviv University, worked with team leader Doron Behar from the Rambam Medical Center to analyze African DNA. Their goal was to study obscure population patterns from hundreds of thousands of years ago.
[ Let's look at this. The population of Africa was a fraction of what it is today. There is far more genetic diversity in Africa than in anywhere else in the world. There would have been numerous tribes developing separately in this vast continent for this to happen. So what is all this nonsense about humans separating into 2 groups for 100 thousand years? And after that were we all one group once again? What are these Jews trying to say? ]

MEPs to strip Eurosceptics of cash and influence
They will vote to change the rules governing the political groupings formed by MEPs, which can be eligible for lavish funding.
Current rules allow 20 MEPs from a fifth of the EU's member states to form a grouping, giving them a say in the parliament's administration and power structure.
Under the changes, the threshold would become 30 MEPs from one quarter of the EU's member states.
The move would dissolve the pan-European Eurosceptic "Independence and Democracy" grouping, which includes the UK Independence Party.

Poll results: 99% of Brits in Stoke on Trent would rather live under British National Party rule
A massive 99% of people in the phone-in vote said they would be prepared to live in a town run by the far-right party.
The Daily Star poll asked readers: "Would you live in a BNP town?"
We were overwhelmed by the response, the second highest in any of our hundreds of polls on the issues of the day.
And 99% of our readers that phoned in voted: "Yes".
The Daily Star launched the vote after reporting on the rise of the BNP in Stoke on Trent, Staffs. The local council, a Labour stronghold since the 1930s, once had 60 Labour councillors. Now there are just 15 and the BNP has nine and rising support.
[ Surprising honesty from the media. ]
