English: An image made by a US Army soldier during the raid to capture or kill Uday and Qusay Hussein. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)An aid program, a crushing crowd, a dead baby
I had a blog post mostly done about the Bonos 10,000 progam, a Honduran
government plan that is supposed to give $500 a year to the poorest
families.
Then I read about Santos Pineda and his wife Aida Fajardo, and their
four-day-old baby. The little girl died in a hugely overcrowded room where
the family had waited in a disorganized crowd for two hours to get the
Bono. She apparently suffocated in her mother’s arms in the crush of people.
The baby could have died anywhere, of course. She had spent three days in
the hospital in an incubator after an early C-section delivery and just

Provocation and Air of Reality
*R. v. Cairney*, 2013 SCC 55:
C shot and killed his long‑time friend F. At the time, C was living with F
and R, who was C's cousin and F's common law spouse. F had a history of
physically abusing R. On the day in question, F was drinking, became angry
with R and started to verbally abuse her. C overheard F tell R that if her
back had not been sore, he would have thrown her across the kitchen. At
F's request, C left the room. He retrieved a loaded shotgun. Disturbed by
the argument that he was overhearing, C sat in another room, contemplating
what to do. He decided to scare F ... more »

Grand Bargain Bait & Switch
When is a Grand Bargain not a Grand Bargain?
When the movers and shakers of the Beltway realize that "Grand Bargain"

Don't Forget About Religious Discrimination When Throwing Your Office Halloween Party
Personally, I love Halloween. Adore it. I have zombies in my courtyard to
scare the kiddies, and a graveyard in front of the house with various and

celebrate it. However, there are some religions that ban celebrating
Halloween altogether, and some people who have sincerely held beliefs
against it.
Halloween is now a pretty secular holiday, but its origins are in the Catholic
religion. The Catholic holiday, All Hallow's Eve, is the night before All

The mathematics of Australia’s emissions are not terribly complicated. To

Default set aside without consideration of merits
As a general rule, one of the factors to be considered in setting aside a
default is the merit of the claim, appeal, application etc against which
default is made. In an interesting chambers decision this week in the Court
of Appeal for Ontario Mr Justice Doherty found that, where the default was
brief and the cause of the default technical, a consideration of the merits
was unnecessary and default would be set aside directly. The decision is,
as yet, unreported but I have a copy should anyone need it: Fitzpatrick v

Greece news for October 24 , 2013..... No debt relief for Greece until May 2014 decrees EU Commissioner Rehn ! With Greece's debt now a staggering 169 percent of GDP , is Greece about to hit the spin cycle of bailout ( or bail - in ) mania ? Prime Minister gets the cold shoulder from German Prime Minister Merkel - referred to the Troika to talk about next new measures to satisfy Greece's creditors - seems like quite a different talk Merkel had with Samaras as compared with the Cypriot President ! Meanwhile , Greek kiss ass efforts continue - layoffs to rise from 5 to 10 percent for group layoffs ? Property sales finally going through by the State Privatization fund TAIPED ? Cypriot Central Banker comes under more fire from his fellow Cypriots ! Meanwhile the stock market band plays on despite Greek Banks falling in value...........

* *Its quite amazing this nonsense still goes on almost 5 years after 2008,
banks who had no real money at risk of their own, insured against mortgage
failures and collected it (and in many cases insured with 4 or 5 different
insurance companies - which is insurance fraud - remember AIG insured debt
against loss), then are able to foreclose on homes for which they own
absolutely no title...violating all the laws that define what a mortgage is

Illusory Failure
This year, my son’s art teacher started every student out with an F. This
grade remains unchanged until all their assignments are turned in. This is
supposed to be motivating. Each student spends the majority of the school
year with a failing grade, which sets off a string of emails and phone
calls to anxious parents, reminding everyone involved, on an almost daily
basis, of the child’s impending “failure”. Rather than working to create
an inspired piece of art, the kids are instead merely working to avoid
flunking.
You were never shown how to do this simply. Like this... more »
ANDREW BOLT: THE QUINTESSENTIAL AUSTRALIAN RACIST
In a recent interview with Australia’s newly elected Prime Minister, Tony
Abbott, Australian journalist Andrew Bolt displayed the extent of his
well-known racism when the discussion turned to Australia’s indigenous
people. It went thus:
*AB: I assume you believe all Australians should be treated equally on the
grounds of race and ethnic origin.*
*PM: Yes.*
*AB: Why do you then want the Constitution rewritten so that some
Australians are given different status on the grounds of their racial
ancestry?*

Wit's End - 17 hours ago
By now there is general agreement among climate scientists that, awkward as
it seems, global warming has been in "pause" mode for the last decade. It
is believed the expected warming is going into the deep oceans, and also
has been shielded by aerosols. Yet in that same decade, the death of trees
has vastly accelerated. Visibly damaged foliage on all plant species,
including annuals being watered in pots, is ubiquitous and worsening every

As heard on Fox: They’re giving us our old Hayes back!
*THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2013*
*Overheard as the analysts cheered:* Conservative voters hear a lot of
prime bullroar on Fox. Liberals should be looking for ways to *tell* them
they’re being conned.
For that reason, the analysts sent up a long, lusty cheer last week. Chris
Hayes was talking to Ben Domenech about the debt limit nonsense.
Along the way, Hayes described the way the world works—and he displayed
some human feeling. When he made these remarks, the analysts loudly cheered:

The results are coming in. London is booming while almost the entire rest
of the country is stagnating economically. Pre-crash London accounted for
37% of growth in output, post-crash that figure has risen to 48% (leaving
aside the definition of ‘output’ for a moment).
Those at the top of the social scale have faired the best. According to the
Graun’s figures the top fifth of the population have seen two fifths of all
growth in income head their way since the crash. Those at the very bottom
of the scale are still raised up to some degree by the minimum wage and

THE FUKUSHIMA NUCLEAR MESS
This interview with Dr. Michio Kaku is old but still holds up very well due
to the continuing disastrous situation in Fukushima. There is growing
support for Kaku's call for TEPCO to be taken off the case and have an
international team of experts take over the situation.
There is growing evidence that life in the Pacific Ocean is being killed by
the radioactive mess pouring into the sea from the Fukushima nuclear power
plant.
Dr. Kaku was a founding member of the Global Network in 1992 and remains on
our board of advisers.

apparently no current nominee (to replace Regina Benjamin, who as far as I
know mostly stayed out of trouble)...yes, that's a three-month vacancy with
no replacement named. I suppose one way to avoid controversy is to avoid
nominating anyone, but still...surgeon generals used to be front-and-center

Iran Tries To Influence The Next Kurdish Government In Iraq

member of the opposition the Change List finished second. This sea change
in Kurdish politics has left the make-up of the new ruling coalition up in

included or whether it will be a more limited government. Iran is hoping to

right-wing extremist (and carpetbagger) Gary Miller won last year is
