Star Control for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis
On its release for Sega's Mega Drive/Genesis in 1991, *Star Control* was
immediately noteworthy for a couple of things. At that time it was the
largest game cartridge to appear for a home system in the West - it weighed
in at a whopping 12 megabits (1.5 megabytes, give or take). And it, along
with a batch of rather average games published contemporaneously by Accolade,
successfully challenged Sega's restrictive third party licensing procedures.
*Star Control* is also a game of some nostalgic import to me. After
salivating for weeks over reviews, on the very day I picked up my Mega

Clashes flare amid mass Egyptian funeral, killing three more
Clashes flared anew in the turbulent Egyptian city of Port Said on Sunday,
killing at least three more people as a mass funeral was held for most of
the 37 people who died during intense riots in the city a day earlier.
The three were killed when police exchanged fire with gunmen trying to
storm two police stations and the local prison, according to the city's
director of hospitals, Abdel-Rahman Farah. A total of 418 people were
injured, some of them with gunshot wounds, he said.
Tens of thousands of mourners poured into the streets for the mass funeral

Gingrich: Republicans "clearly have to change"
On the television program Face the Nation this morning, former Republican
Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich told host Bob Schieffer that his party
needs to repair itself, if the GOP hopes to win moving forward.
Gingrich ... pointed to overly conservative policies as the GOP's 2012
curse. "When I said as a candidate we're not going to deport a grandmother
if she's been here 25 years, we had a nominee who said yes, we would, that
she would self-deport," Gingrich said. "I think at that point we lost

George Osborne is destined to be remembered as the most inept Chancellor in British history
It wasn’t a great week for the Coalition. First the Prime Minister made his
much-awaited EU speech, which increased the levels of uncertainty for UK
businesses just when they needed it least. Firms are sitting on loads of
cash but are not willing to invest it as consumers aren’t spending; they
are even less likely to do so now after David Cameron’s intervention.
This may have satisfied his Eurosceptic MPs, but was disastrous in economic
terms. Any foreign firm considering setting up business in Britain as a
gateway to Europe will inevitably be having second thoughts. The speech was

Human rights activists are turning to Google Earth to identify the vast
network of prison camps that dot the North Korean countryside and hold as
many as 200,000 people deemed hostile to the regime.
Rights groups are pushing the United Nations high commissioner for human
rights to open an international investigation into Pyongyang's "deplorable"
record on its citizens' rights, including a system of political prisons
that has operated for more than 50 years.

Ontario's Liberals have a new leader. They cannot call her "Premier Dad."
But, even though she can leave the epithet behind, she will not have an

Berlusconi defends Mussolini, draws outrage from political left
Former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi triggered outrage from Italy's

Speaking at the margins of the event in Milan, Berlusconi said Mussolini
had been wrong to follow Nazi Germany's lead in passing anti-Jewish laws
but that he had in other respects been a good leader.

Rise of 'white flight': British families are 'self-segregating' as more Caucasians abandon urban areas for the countryside
Outer London boroughs including Enfield, Waltham Forest and Redbridge have

Dublin has said ingredients imported from a Polish supplier were

DNA test results released by the Irish government on Saturday traced the
contamination of burgers made at ABP Food Group’s Silvercrest plant in
Ireland to a low value beef cut and trimming product sourced from an EU

Thousands of people, including residents of the Connecticut town where 20
children were killed last month, have gathered in front of the US Capitol
to call for stricter gun control.
Marchers were led by Washington DC Mayor Vincent Gray and other officials
as the crowd stretched for two blocks along the National Mall.

US military aircraft will be used to refuel French warplanes fighting
Islamist militants in Mali, the Pentagon has confirmed.
The offer of assistance to the French-led effort to push al Qaeda-linked

Payday Loan Sites Hack other websites to increase their ranking on Google
A Sky News investigation has found that some payday loan brokers have
benefitted from hacking into websites to divert the history and status of a
legitimate business to their domain.
This increases their ranking on Google, and the tactic has given
unregulated brokers access to online traffic worth millions of pounds.
The findings come as the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) prepares its report
into dirty tricks in the market, due to be published in February.

Australian ALEC Member Caught LYING!
I am convinced that the type of ALEC nondisclosure in these Australian
articles IS happening in the US all the time. But our problem is
complicated by two things (1) ALEC legislators have written state laws
specifically exempting ALEC meetings from disclosure in various states and
(2) our state governments are either too cowardice or too lazy to examine
ALEC funding of ALEC legislators.

protecting consumers and strengthening markets. Industry groupthink and
overconfidence can prevent clear and evenhanded analysis of problems. The

Belgian MP Laurent Louis Tells The Truth About The War on Terror Fraud
This is a powerful speech by Belgian MP Laurent Louis. He tells the truth
about 9/11. He also talks about how European countries are arming and
supporting the Islamist terrorists in Syria to overthrow its government
while using Islamic terrorism as a pretext to invade Mali.
"It is about time to stop lying to us and treating people like imbeciles.
The time has come to tell the truth," said Laurent Louis.
If the House GOP weren't allowed to throw away money on right-wing boondoggles, could the economy nevertheless be saved from disaster?
*This infographic devised by the Center for American Progress and LGBT
Progress (click on it to enlarge, and let's hope for the best) envisions

reneging on the economic bulwark of right-wing legal Keynesianism. (You can
