GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.—A Grand Junction man has been accused of using a modified video camera on top of his shoe to record video up women's skirts. Grand Junction police say 34-year-old Joshua Vohs was issued a summons Sunday at a local grocery store while people were shopping. He is accused of unlawful sexual contact through photographs, which is a misdemeanor. Authorities told the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel that Vohs approached unsuspecting women and attempted to record video by placing his shoe and the camera underneath their dresses or shorts. Police say a memory card on the camera included 11 videos of similar activities. ———

The quickly-growing social network has been lambasted for booting users who sign up under pseudonyms What's in a name? A lot, at least for prospective users of Google+, the booming social networking service. Over the weekend, Google+ kicked many users off the site for violating its terms of service, which require that everyone on the site must use his or her real, legal name in order to "help fight spam and prevent fake profiles." The move infuriated those who commonly go by pseudonyms on the web, and find value in separating their true identities from their social networking presences. Does Google+ have the right to ban users who don't go by their real names? This ...

BEIJING - As ConocoPhillips and China's ocean watchdog try to control the spread of oil leaks in a gulf of the Yellow Sea, fishers in North China's Hebei province are complaining that the disaster has caused the death of a large number of scallops. "Because of the leak, about 70 percent of the scallops seedlings in Laoting county (Hebei province) have been found dead since late June, and the total economic loss for the local fishing industry is expected to reach 350 million yuan ($54 million)," Yang Jizhen, chairman of the Laoting fisheries association, told China Daily on Monday. The recent oil leak in Bohai Bay was first discovered on June 4 and a subsequent one was ...
Dr. Marc Faber, an ex South African discusses the IQ of blacks

South Africa (SA) – The Future I expect, like me, you are aware that there has never been a prosperous black-led country, but perhaps it’s just because of “bad luck”, or whatever, for that incontrovertible fact. Take Haiti as an example. Before the black slaves revolted and killed all the whites and half castes Haiti had a GNP greater than most of what is now the USA . It supplied 60% of all the sugar used in Europe. Today it is a wasteland. Apparently if you Google Earth the place you see is a sere, brown coloured landscape compared to the neighbouring Dominican Republic which is green and verdant. Twice the USA has occupied Haiti , building roads, ports, hospitals ...
Argentina's control of national stats

A recent article in The Wall Street Journal: “Argentina’s government has filed criminal charges against the managers of an economic consulting firm,” the paper reads, “escalating its persecution of independent economists.” Apparently a local firm, MyS Consultores, published an inflation figure that was not to the administration’s liking...which is to say, a figure probably much nearer to the truth than the “official” reading. The government’s own figure is 9.7%, even though you’d be hard pressed to find anybody who thinks it’s less than double that. Most economists reckon it’s north of 20%. Some say much higher, a notion the ...

Iran plans to produce gasoline form natural gas by the use of the GTL (Gas to Liquids) method, says the Iranian deputy minister of industry and mines. Majlid Hedayat said on Monday that a pilot GTL production plant is expected to be operational within the next two weeks in the Iranian capital city, Tehran, to produce gasoline “for a 3-month trial,” Mehr news agency reported. GTL is a refinery process which converts natural gas into gasoline or diesel fuel. “Six hundred million dollars would be invested in GTL industry,” Hedayat further explained. The Iranian official also noted that the country is planning to set up two “industrial and semi-industrial ...
Tolerance of gays in China

What is or what should be society's view about homosexuality? Two scholars and an activist come up with different answers. Indifference has led to tolerance Homosexuality has existed since prehistoric times across countries and cultures. But for a long time Chinese society has turned a blind eye to homosexuality and thus created an illusion that it is rare or simply does not exist in China. A few homosexuals do enter the public field of vision either seeking medical treatment or having committed a crime, thus aggravating the prejudice that homosexuality is a disease, crime or wrongdoing. The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) conducted a national survey over the phone in 2007 ...

Getting McLuhan's message

Thanks Marshall, I think we've finally got the message... Marshall McLuhan's ideas about media seem more insightful than ever 'A prophet is not without honour", says the Bible, "save in his own country." This was manifestly not true in the case of Marshall McLuhan, the Canadian cultural critic, who was born 100 years ago last Thursday, and was famous not only in his own country, but also abroad. In fact, he's the only public intellectual I can think of who played himself in a Woody Allen movie. Film buffs will recall the wonderful sequence in Annie Hall, where Woody and Diane Keaton are queuing for a movie when a guy behind them starts opining pompously ...

(Reuters) - Customers at an apparent Apple Store in the Chinese city of Kunming berated staff and demanded refunds on Friday after the shop was revealed to be an elaborate fake, sparking a media and Internet frenzy. Long a target of counterfeiters and unauthorized resellers, Apple Inc was alerted to the near flawless fake shop by an American blogger living in the southwestern city, more than 1,000 miles from the nearest genuine Apple stores in Beijing and Shanghai. "When I heard the news I rushed here immediately to get the receipt, I am so upset," a customer surnamed Wang told Reuters, near tears. "With a store this big, it looks so believable who would have thought it ...

The majority of people feel upset and lonely when they are deprived of access to the internet, according to consumer research. A new study has revealed that 53 per cent feel upset when denied access and 40 per cent feel lonely if they are unable to go online. The research found that people experience these feelings even if denied online access for a short time. The study was carried out by consumer research firm Intersperience, who surveyed over 1,000 people. Participants were quizzed on their attitudes to the use of the internet, smart phones, and other devices, and were even asked to go 24 hours without any access to internet technology.

Can Urban Agriculture Feed a Hungry World?

Agricultural researchers believe that building indoor farms in the middle of cities could help solve the world's hunger problem. Experts say that vertical farming could feed up to 10 billion people and make agriculture independent of the weather and the need for land. There's only one snag: The urban farms need huge amounts of energy. One day, Choi Kyu Hong might find himself in a vegetable garden on the 65th floor of a skyscraper. But, so far, his dream of picking fresh vegetables some 200 meters (655 feet) up has only been realized in hundreds of architectural designs. In real life, the agricultural scientist remains far below such dizzying heights, conducting his work in a ...

Arnold Schwarzenegger indicated in a court filing that he does not want to pay wife Maria Shriver spousal support or attorney fees as the couple ends their 25-year marriage. / AP PHOTO Arnold Schwarzenegger indicated in a court filing that he does not want to pay wife Maria Shriver spousal support or attorney fees as the couple ends their 25-year marriage. The dispute may have little impact on the divorce, since the former Hollywood couple is expected to reach a confidential, out-of-court settlement. Schwarzenegger's filing Wednesday differs little from Shriver's initial petition for divorce, which was filed on July 1. Both seek joint custody of their sons, ages 17 and 13. ...

The Ocean Explorer team isn't sure what to make of this strange discovery that some are calling a crashed UFO, but they've released more information about it.

On Wednesday, in the trial for a Philadelphia family’s inheritance of 1933 double eagle gold coins, the jury reached a verdict. Joan Langbord, 81, and her two sons lost their case to maintain ownership of the 10 gold coins. The double eagle coins, minted in 1933, were $20 coins that were recalled by the U.S. Treasury that same year when Franklin Delano Roosevelt took the country off the gold standard. At the time, all 445,500 coins were to be melted down, and they should have been gone by 1937, with the exception of two coins saved for the Smithsonian. Joan Langbord’s father, jeweler Israel Switt, came into possession of a number of these coins, illegally, according to the ...

Men who pay for sex are more likely than non-buyers to commit a variety of offenses, including violent crimes against women, according to research conducted in the Boston area. The study was based on face-to-face interviews with 202 men conducted by the non-profit group Prostitution Research and Education and led by Melissa Farley, a clinical psychologist and anti-prostitution activist. Buyers and non-buyers of commercial sex from the Boston area were paired by age, education and ethnicity to compare their perceptions of women, after voluntarily joining a research study. Men who paid for sex were more likely to report having committed felonies and misdemeanors, including crimes related ...

Of 1,009 Canadians surveyed, one-third said they would give up their phone to keep online and television services. One-fifth of Canadians polled in a new survey said they would turn down a million dollars in order to keep their Internet access - a possible sign that our reliance on the World Wide Web is slowly catching up to the television and phone, telecom experts say. The survey conducted by Angus Reid Forum for Primus Canada, showed that almost half of those polled would give up watching television before they would give up surfing the Internet or using their phones. ...
