Sputnik... The issue has plagued the town of Kalachi in Kazakhstan, now nicknamed “Sleepy Hollow,” for months. The problem was first reported in 2010, and the government is now taking action against the bizarre epidemic. At least two other towns nearby have reported similar symptoms from their residents. It’s been classified as an “encephalopathy,” a neurological disease or disorder, of unclear origin. Villagers report dizziness, memory loss, loss of motor skills. Two children have reported hallucinations as well. Because doctors have yet to determine a “cure” for the mystery condition, officials in Kalachi, which has a population of less than 1000, ...

Want... President Xi Jinping of China and his top graft-buster Wang Qishan may be targeted by assassination attempts from corrupt officials who have been allegedly buying high-powered sniper rifles from the United States, reports Boxun News, a US-based citizen journalism outlet with a reputation for releasing unsubstantiated "insider" reports on Chinese politics.

(CN) - An Idaho lawmaker got an anatomy lesson Monday when he asked a doctor if a woman could swallow a camera to conduct a remote gynecological exam. State Rep. Vito Barbieri posed the question during testimony to the House State Affairs Committee. The bill at issue, HB 154, would bar doctors from prescribing abortion-inducing drugs through telemedicine services. Planned Parenthood posted an audiotape of the exchange on the Internet. Dr. Julie Madsen, who provides telemedicine services in Idaho, described a procedure in which colonoscopy patients swallow a device that gives doctors a clearer view of parts of the colon. "Can this same procedure then be done in a pregnancy? ...

Bringing sexy back in a redefined way, Ashley and her tiny black string bikini are showing the world that not all good things come in small packages.

Out of facts? Stick to cats: Examiner's pitiful attempt at dissing RT
Post Date: 2015-02-23 07:38:45 by Tatarewicz

RT... For an investigative reporter, the Examiner’s Julia Davis seems to lack one basic professional skill: fact checking. Or perhaps it's a lack of attention to detail that sees her repeatedly ignoring simple facts, particularly where RT is involved. First, Davis slams Newsweek for “parrot[ing] RT’s false narrative” and misreporting on a new Ukrainian law by erroneously stating that commanders can use force against servicemen who drink alcohol while on duty (in fact the law imposes administrative punishment for alcohol consumption). There’s one problem with that ‘line’ though – never does the RT story in question say such a thing. In fact, ...

HANGZHOU, Feb. 17 (Xinhua) -- As many Chinese prepare to travel abroad for the upcoming Spring Festival holiday, tourism industry insiders are appealing travelers to mind their manners. Ctrip, a NASDAQ-listed travel service company, published a report on Chinese travelers' behavior abroad in January, which claimed most of the 1 million tourists using its package or independent tour services to travel overseas do abide by local regulations. According to the report, those with unwelcome behaviors accounted for no more than one in 10,000. However, for the world's largest outbound travel market, even one in a million is enough to cause concern. In 2013, a Chinese tourist wrote his ...

Recently uncovered secret tapes from the White House show President John F. Kennedy may have used duplicity when it came to some of his most important accomplishments, including the struggle for civil rights and Cuba, in hopes of winning re-election in 1964, according to The New York Post. One of his most questionable actions, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Patrick Sloyan writes in his new book, "The Politics of Deception" was telling his predecessor, Dwight D. Eisenhower, that he had rejected Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev's demands that American missiles be removed from Turkey in exchange for Soviet weapons being pulled from Cuba. In reality, Kennedy folded against ...

See the Detroiter with 21-mile walking commute get a surprise new car By Justin Hyde 20 hours ago Motoramic James Robertson has been walking 21 miles to commute to work outside Detroit for nearly a decade — until today. After his story became public last Sunday in the Detroit Free Press, an outpouring of support and donations culminated with Robertson taking the keys to a new Ford Taurus — one that he wasn't expecting to get when he walked into the Suburban Ford dealership in Sterling Heights, Mich., today. "I don't like it," he told the dealer. "I love it." Robertson's plight — and his committment to his job despite the hurdles he ...

A young Texan grew up wanting to be a lawman. He grew up big, 6' 4", strong as a longhorn, and fast as a mustang. He could shoot a bottle cap tossed in the air at 40 paces. When he finally came of age, he applied to where he had only dreamed of working: the West Texas Sheriff's Department. After a series of tests and interviews, the Chief Deputy finally called him into his office for the young man's last interview. The Chief Deputy said, "You're a big strong kid and you can really shoot. So far your qualifications all look good, but we have, what you might call, an 'Attitude Suitability Test', that you must take before you can be accepted. “We just ...
