| The Cruise Indoctrination Video Scientology Tried To Suppress
One, BBC production called Panorama, was great... exposed the 'church' leaders for the crap they get up to in order to supress by fear. Link here: [video.google.com] Wikipedia has a great explanation of the origins of this nutty sci-fi book gone live.
[en.wikipedia.org] It is funny, but not surprising the number of 'celebridiots' who are attached to this weird CULT, including the not-as-larger-than-life Kirsty Alley... all seem to be quite surprised by the information that their 'religion' is founded on a science fiction novel about an alien invasion about 75,000 years ago... Although they'd like to deny and surpress this info, the book, Dianetics, has a graphic (poor quality to be sure) of a volcano, where, according to L.
Updated: Business leaders seek to have HB 1804 revisited
Key business leaders in Oklahoma are preparing efforts, including a possible public information campaign, to revisit what one called the Draconian and insidious aspects of the state's landmark immigration law.
Despite the heavy hitters from the business world and the amount of money that could be involved in the efforts, it appears supporters will not have an easy time persuading leaders at the state Capitol to take a second look at the new law so soon.
The law created by House Bill 1804 makes it a state felony to knowingly transport illegal aliens, creates state barriers to hiring illegal immigrants and requires proof of citizenship to receive certain government benefits. After July 1, it requires state contractors to check the immigration status of workers.
Former Stasi Officers Coming Out of the Shadows
The purpose of the gathering was a discussion of planned information plaques and a speaker at the podium was describing the facility in Berlin's eastern Hohenschönhausen district as a "place of terror, mistreatment and suffering" when catcalls erupted in the audience. Shouts of "lies" went up and several people demanded the former prison and interrogation center, now a museum and memorial to its victims, be closed.
It turns out than 200 of the audience members were former generals, officers and employees of the now-defunct Ministry for State Security, or Stasi, East Germany's secret police and intelligence service. The group was led by no less than a former deputy of Stasi head Erich Mielke himself, Werner Grossmann, and another high-ranking officer and former deputy, Wolfgang Schwanitz.

the undercover economist
Home computers have not only become cheaper but dramatically better, and failure to fully adjust for the quality improvements would overestimate the inflation rate and underestimate how much better off we are compared with previous generations. A highly influential paper by Yale economist William Nordhaus made the point forcefully. He studied not commodities like bicycles or spoons but a service: light. By tracking lighting technology from campfires to oil lamps to today's energy-saving light bulbs, he estimated that the real price of light had fallen 10,000-fold in 100 years. Partly because of Nordhaus' work, many economists believe that the official statistics on wages underestimate how much richer we have become. Light and computers are getting better at a rate unmeasured by inflation figures, but perhaps those figures err on the other side for different products.

Tough competition for video-gaming jobs
In reality, love of games is a prerequisite for most jobs in the industry, which is concentrated in the Bay Area and a few other tech-heavy regions. But as with so many things in life, it turns out that love is not enough. You also need to show you can work on a team and that you can transform an idea into an actual game, according to hiring managers and those who already have landed in the industry. While graduates in other fields can hit job interviews with a degree and maybe an internship under their belts, wannabe gamemakers burn the midnight oil creating sample games or demo reels, short films that show off art or animation skills. Game companies' appetite for new talent appears robust - the job fair at this year's Game Developers Conference in San Francisco covered nearly an entire floor of Moscone West, with companies listing openings for programmers, animators, a variety of artists, sound engineers, game designers and game testers.
Lady Luck deserts Devizes
DEVIZES Town were the victims of bad luck as they lost 1-0 to Welton Rovers in the Toolstation league Premier Division at Nursteed Road last night. Welton scored the winner after 20 minutes but Devizes were unhappy after Ryan Trowbridge was elbowed in the lead-up. Adam Giles smacked a free kick against the bar and Daine O'Connor also hit the woodwork with a volley as Devizes sensed it was not to be their night. Devizes assistant boss Steve Hale said: "It was quite a tight game, I wouldn't say either side deserved to win it. "The players that have gone out there have worked hard and given everything. "But injuries and unavailability are really hurting us at the minute. With budget cuts it's really difficult to freshen the squad up." .
Conman Foster jailed in Australia
AUSTRALIAN conman Peter Foster, who escaped from military custody in Fiji at the height of the December 5 takeover, has been sentenced to four-and-a-half years in jail yesterday after pleading guilty to a money laundering charge in a Brisbane court. Peter Clarence Foster, 45, of the Gold Coast, pleaded guilty in the Supreme Court in Brisbane to a charge relating to fraudulently obtaining just over $300,000 from the Bank of the Federated States of Micronesia, an AAP report stated. Justice James Sholto Douglas heard the matter in the Brisbane Supreme Court yesterday, Court officials revealed from Brisbane. He was sentenced to four-and-a-half years jail but will be eligible for parole after two years and three months. Foster, who has described himself as a human headline, was arrested by Australian Federal Police officers in February this year after he arrived at the Brisbane Airport on a flight from Vanuatu.
Brown lays down the law to Wendy: 'I'm in control of debate on ...
His views were made clear at a Downing Street summit last month on Alexander's constitutional reform plans, which took place without her being present. Alexander's Labour leadership is in serious trouble after she broke the law by accepting an illegal £950 donation from Jersey-based businessman Paul Green. The Paisley North MSP, who has endured two months of torment after the Sunday Herald broke the donations story, has tried to recapture the domestic agenda by backing a Constitutional Commission to increase Holyrood's powers. The idea has the backing of Labour, the Tories and the Liberal Democrats in the Scottish parliament, but is being resisted by Scottish Labour MPs at Westminster who believe Alexander is "doing the work" of the SNP. Now the Sunday Herald can reveal the prime minister's scepticism about a plan that Alexander has staked her political future on.
