It claims that Adnan Oktar, a Turkish author and media producer known under
the pseudonym of Harun Yahia, surrounds himself with voluptuous, "Dirndl"-dressed
ladies to promote Islam in (Protestant) Germany. The German "Bundesamt für

"Larry Hagman; portrayed villainous J.R. Ewing; at 81" by Enid Nemy | New

NEW YORK — Larry Hagman, whose portrayal of one of television’s most
beloved villains, J.R. Ewing, led the CBS series ‘‘Dallas’’ to enormous
world popularity, *died* Friday in Dallas. He was 81.
The *cause* was complications of *cancer*, his family said. Mr. Hagman had
been in Dallas filming an episode of the TNT cable channel’s reboot of that
series, which had made him the man audiences loved to hate from 1978 to
1991.

private, and the emotional hold sway. Yet as Arlie Russell Hochschild shows
in *The Outsourced Self*, that is no longer the case: everything that was

transformed into packaged expertise to be sold back to confused, harried

Regression
Owen Gray at Northern Reflections - 15 hours ago
The Conference Board keeps churning out reports which should embarrass the
Harper government. The Board's latest report ranks Canada 7th out of 17 developed
countries in terms of quality of life. It's interesting that, in terms of
falling crime rates, we are doing very well -- although, if you believe
what the government tells us, it's not well enough.
But what is truly disturbing is the growing rate of income inequality:
In Canada, the gap between rich and poor has widened over the past 15
years, and the board says all age groups have felt the change -- with both

Breaking News: Alphabet To Be Privatized
Karen Garcia at Sardonicky - 15 hours ago
*Guest Post by Elizabeth Adams*
In a bold yet unsurprising move, the American Legislative Exchange Council
(ALEC) has begun crafting legislation to pave the way for privatization of
the English/American alphabet. The ease of drowning out dissenting speech
since the Citizens United ruling of 2010 has just whetted the appetites of
the corporatocracy.
First, a little history.
The rich white guys, after fighting against the occupation of the English
crown's corporations in the early days of the North American takeover,
formed corporations of their own in order to protect their hard-sto... more »
Allegations of rape within a political party but the BBC aren't interested
Not a sheep at Not a sheep - 15 hours ago
Reports of allegations of rape within the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) are
all over the internet.
The Mail managed to cover the story:
'Ordinarily, we would not bore you with the interminable machinations of
the far Left. This scandal, though, goes beyond militant politics because
it involves an allegation of rape against a senior figure in the Socialist
Workers Party (SWP) by a more junior colleague.
She is in her 20s. He is a middle-aged, full-time party activist who has a
partner. Remember, when you read what follows, that the SWP is also an

Wall Street Whores In DC (I.E., Conservative Politicians) Still Fighting Against Protecting Bank Customers

which, among other things, established Elizabeth Warren's brainchild, the
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to protect baking customers from

Right on cue, the liberal corporate media went into its traditional (and

Tories to announce tougher sentences: Mr. Kennedy said that currently, too many kids either end up in prison or in the country’s health-care system as they “run away from the pain that has happened in their life.”
James C Morton at Morton's Musings - 16 hours ago
So let's have more jail and longer sentences to keep more kids inside?
Mandatory minimum prison works (or may work) for economic crimes like fraud
or middle class crimes like impaired driving. They do not work for crimes
coming from irrational impulses.
If we want mandatory anything it should be mandatory treatment orders; and
tougher enforcement of mandatory reporting requirements. That's not seen
as very progressive but it could actually work and make a difference to
society.

It is being reported that the former Liberal Democrat cabinet minister

As he has changed his plea, presumably he will want to pay for a large part
of the police and CPS costs which were only necessary because he originally

Somehow I doubt that and instead the court will take into his guilty plea

born in Summer 1853, almost 160 years ago, to a wealthy nurseryman who
re-married when Hendrik's mother died. Educated as a protestant, he was a
natural freethinker and his career was fast as he was already the boss of
physics in Leiden at age of 24 (Johan van der Waals was offered the job but

GSK Swine Flu Shot Sparks Narcolepsy in Emelie Olsson of Sweden

Private property, property rights and their protection are the cornerstone
of a free and economically dynamic society. If trust and sanctity of
private property is assured, people can conduct businesses easily and
peacefully. And the economy can grow rather fast as sources of economic
instability are reduced if not eliminated.
If, however, other people can say, “his car is also my car; his house is
also our house” and comes to use other people’s car by force, or enter
other people’s house by force and take away anything that he likes, then

I do not have the material on the originator but they obviously have a

promising. This result can be also produced by high pressure reforming, or
close enough.
If it can be done well enough and cheap enough then this is certainly
important. Partial reforming could isolate the non organics, hopefully
eliminate organic acids in the tar and convert a serious portion into fuel

What is plain is that the three quarter power rules prevails for life as

Since we are now managing to reverse aging or at least to slow or even
halt it, it will be interesting to observe the effect on this rule. Real
reversal may run into something more subtle.
