On August 17, 1970, the first episode of Soul Train premiered on the ...

Texas: Top State Senator Says Red Light Cameras About Money

The most senior Texas state lawmaker admitted last week that he voted to save red light camera programs even though he knew they had no effect on public safety. State Senator John Whitmire (D-Houston), who was first elected to the legislature in 1973, appeared on KTRH radio's morning news program to discuss how public opposition to red light cameras persuaded legislators to devote some of the camera profit to trauma centers. "People went to Austin protesting it, and so John Carona -- a senator from Dallas -- didn't want to eliminate them," Whitmire explained. "He said, you know, it's obviously a revenue source. Local communities try to sell it as public safety, ...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A homeless man who was stuck in thick mud near the Rio Grande river in Albuquerque for three days was rescued Saturday after some high school students on a field trip heard him yelling for help, authorities said. However, the man's newfound freedom wasn't going to last. Police said he was wanted on a felony warrant, and they planned to arrest him after he was treated at a local hospital. A group of La Cueva High School students and their biology teacher heard the man yelling Saturday morning from a marshy wetlands area in the Oxbow Open Space Preserve, the Albuquerque Fire Department and police officials said. The students were in the area — ...

IN March 2009, an eternity ago in Silicon Valley, a small team of engineers here was in a big hurry to rethink the future of books. Not the paper-and-ink books that have been around since the days of Gutenberg, the ones that the doomsayers proclaim — with glee or dread — will go the way of vinyl records. No, the engineers were instead fixated on the forces that are upending the way books are published, sold, bought and read: e-books and e-readers. Working in secret, behind an unmarked door in a former bread bakery, they rushed to build a device that might capture the imagination of readers and maybe even save the book industry. They had six months to do it. Running this sprint ...
Former inmate wins $22 million over 'forgotten' solitary confinement

A New Mexico man held in solitary confinement in a county prison for nearly two years without ever being prosecuted has won a $22 million jury award for violation of his constitutional rights, officials said. It is one of the largest federal civil rights settlements in history involving an inmate. Stephen Slevin alleged he was essentially forgotten while in custody. "This has never been about the money," Slevin said in a halting voice outside the federal courthouse in Santa Fe, just after the jury's decision. He suffers from post-traumatic stress from what he called physical and mental mistreatment by corrections officials in Dona Ana County, in the southern part of the ...

Barron's just published its 2012 Roundtable, and invited everyone's favorite gloom and doomer Marc Faber to join the discussion. And when you thought he couldn't get any gloomier, he casually predicted that World War III is on the near horizon... As the discussion veered toward the "death of equities" that was predicted on the 1979 cover of Business Week, Faber weighed in on how the market has changed since then: "Ten years ago we had relatively low inflation in the Western world. Now, with interest rates at zero, we have high asset valuations. Asset prices have gone ballistic in stamps, modern art, wine, you name it. Gold, silver, other commodities, equities in ...

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — A group of about two dozen Duke University students urged administrators Tuesday to create a better climate and provide more financial support for black students, saying they’ve been disappointed so far in how top officials have reacted to their viewpoints. The students, almost all of whom were black, unsuccessfully sought a meeting with university President Richard Brodhead at his campus office in hopes of explaining a document they describe as a call to action for the prestigious school. Concerns range from the future location of a black culture center to the lack of support for a black student group’s annual event and a recent study that suggested ...

Part 3: 'People Were Screaming and Pushing' At about 10:30 p.m., the officers mutinied on the bridge of the capsizing Concordia. Apparently only one officer, a Greek, was still on Schettino's side. The others decided that Roberto Bosio, a captain from Liguria and who was on board as a guest, would assume command of the ship. Bosio, anxious to begin the evacuation immediately, started issuing orders. The loudspeakers finally sounded the emergency alarm at 10:58 p.m., triggering a panic among the passengers. "People were screaming and pushing and shoving," says retiree Karlheinz Knapp. He lost balance while on his crutches, and suddenly he found

The Doomed Costa Concordia A Maritime Disaster that Was Waiting to Happen Part 2: 'We'll Sound the Siren for You' It was shortly after 9:30 p.m. when the drama began. The Concordia was bearing down on Giglio at 15 knots, which was much too fast. Schettino, the first officer, the second officer and a female officer were standing on the bridge. The captain changed course by a few degrees, passing very close by the island. Schettino would later tell investigators that he had intended to salute a great old man: Mario Palombo, a retired captain. Palombo was at sea for 43 years, including 23 years with Costa. Schettino served as a first officer under Palombo. And Palombo has a ...

Seven days have now passed since the Costa Concordia ran aground off the coast of Italy. The moon is shining as the men stare at the wreckage of the capsized cruise ship, not far from the harbor entrance. Two of the men are local Italians from the island, who have spent the last few days in a desperate struggle, and who have saved many lives in the process. They are comforting the third man, an Indian from Mumbai, who is still hoping for a miracle. The Indian, Kevin Rebello, misses his brother Russell, 33. Russell was a steward on the Concordia and had been traveling the world's oceans for the last five years. Russell had assured his family that he earned good tips in his job, and ...

The Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry wants to collect audio recordings of the purported strange noises in the sky heard by residents of Kota Samarahan, Sarawak. In a Sinar Harian report, Deputy Minister Datuk Fadillah Yusuf said the ministry was collecting as much "evidence" as possible on the bizarre happening so it could submit its report to the National Space Agency (Angkasa) for further investigation. "This incident is no laughing matter. We hope those who have audio or video recordings of the noises can come forward so we can investigate," said Fadillah, adding that any evidence can be sent to the Petrajaya parliamentary service centre in Jalan Astana, ...

Spain's Franco-era probe judge Baltasar Garzon on trial
Post Date: 2012-01-24 09:16:22 by Tatarewicz
3 Comments
A high-profile Spanish judge has gone on trial accused of violating a 1977 amnesty law by investigating civil war and Franco-era crimes. The prosecution of Baltasar Garzon, who famously indicted late Chilean leader Augusto Pinochet, has been brought by two right-wing groups. They say he overstepped his powers by investigating the disappearance of 114,000 people between 1936 and 1975. He says the acts were crimes against humanity and so not subject to amnesty. Human rights groups have described the Supreme Court trial as a scandal. Relatives of victims from the civil war and the subsequent dictatorship of General Francisco Franco were among those demonstrating in support of Judge ...

Clearing vegetation close to houses is the best way to reduce the impacts of severe bushfires, according to a team of scientists from Australia and the USA who examined house loss as a result of Black Saturday. The research involving 12,000 measurements at 500 houses affected by the Black Saturday fires was only made possible by the sheer size of the devastation of February 7, 2009. “More than any other major wildfire in Australia, Black Saturday provided an unprecedented opportunity to learn about the effects of land management on house loss,” said senior author Dr Philip Gibbons from The Australian National University. The research team found that fuel reduction close to ...

Avoid disappointment and future regret. That's the last line of a gold coin commercial I saw on television the other night. I knew right then I wanted to tell you about it, but I wanted to see the commercial once more to get all the details. And while it may be obvious to some — or even most — who've seen it, I thought it was worth 600 words of our time to air out this stinky mess. Avoid This Gold Coin Scam The two-minute ad starts off with a neighborly male voice telling you: The original $50 Buffalo gold piece is America's purest gold coin ever. It was the first one ever struck using .9999 — that's four nines! — pure 24k gold. Its design was ...
New US Postal Rates in effect, Jan. 22nd

Poster Comment:Today, Sunday, January 22, 2012, new postage rates went into effect in the US. True to form, the US Postal Service, displaying the sort of management skill that brought it to its present state of near-bankruptcy, refused to post the complete list of new rates until today, the same day they became effective. This undoubtedly meant that a great many businesses around the country sort of jammed up in their outgoing mail for the last couple of days until they could find out what postage to put on their outgoing stuff. The "FOREVER" stamps that had been selling for 44¢ are now worth (and will sell at) 45¢. The new first class rate for letters is: 45 cents for ...

In this week's Local List we run through our favourite German novelists. It was no mean feat to pick just 10 in a country which has produced arguably some of the world's most influential literature. Even though this list stretches from war narratives to sexual awakenings, the Romantic Movement to post-modernism, it can only scratch the surface of the wealth of authors Germany has to offer. We even decided to leave out the man generally regarded as Germany's greatest writer - Goethe - because his best-known works were plays and poems. So click through the gallery and check out our choices - from Günter Grass to Cornelia Funke, there should be something to suit even the ...
