Don't piss off Sarah
Black bears in residential neighborhoods aren't exactly unheard of in Juneau. While many people stay inside when bears are about, one local woman says she had a different instinct when she saw her dog was in trouble.
[Bangla Daily Star] Unidentified criminals hacked to death a day labourer in Khagrachhari Sadar upazila Thursday morning.
About six to seven masked criminals swooped on Sona Miah, 50, a resident of Dharmagarh village of the upazila, with sharp weapons when he came out from his room responding to their calls around 2:00am, our Khagrachhari correspondent reports quoting Abul Kalam, officer-in-charge of Sadar Police Station.
Never respond to 2:00 a.m. calls from strangers.
Family members of Sona rushed him to Khagrachhari Adhunik Sadar Hospital as he was injured critically, the OC said adding that the victim died there around 10:30am.
The reason behind the killing was not known immediately.

U.S. Border Patrol spokesman Doug Mosier said armed officers with Mexico's Secretaria de Seguridad Publica federal police were in the incursion, which took place in El Paso, near the Border Patrol's Ysleta station. An ABC-7 viewer contacted the station early Thursday, saying her son, husband and friends were hunting on the Rio Grande levy on the U.S. side when men on the Mexico side fired shots, narrowly missing them. She said more men on the Mexico side drove up with automatic weapons and into to U.S. side. She said the armed men fired weapons and stole hunters' chairs and drove back into Mexico.

I suddenly have the image of the BP looking over at the Mexican side and seeing a bunch of dancing with music in the distance. They put down the Binoculars, look at eachother, then signal the mortar team.
Wishful thinking?

[El Universal] Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez ordered Minister of Agriculture and Lands (MAT) Juan Carlos Loyo to seize at once the plots of lands in the states of Portuguesa and Lara, north-western Venezuela, property of Smurfit Kappa de Venezuela, a subsidiary of packaging company Smurfit Kappa Group.
"We must get every inch of Portuguesa's lands under Smurfit control. How long will they keep damaging Portuguesa lands? Such land is not for logging purposes. They have dried up aquifers, water streams and springs (...) We must act faster. It is an order," Chavez said from Portuguesa during a telephone conversation broadcasted by state-run TV network VTV.
According to MAT, Smurfit, owns 12 hectares of ploughland.

12 Hectares = 30 Acres (29.65264572 to be exact)
Wouldn't even be classified as a 'hobby farm' around here.

About Smurfit Kappa Group. With some hilarity, they are a "green" industry, making corrugated cardboard products from recycled paper.
The US economy unexpectedly created no jobs and the unemployment rate unexpectedly held steadily higher at 9.1 percent in August, unexpectedly fueling concerns that the US unexpectedly is heading for another unexpected recession.
It was the first time since World War II that the economy unexpectedly had a net zero jobs created for a month.
Economists had been expecting the report to show a net of 75,000 jobs created, an unexpected and unusually low number considering the US unexpectedly is technically more than two years removed from the end of the unexpected last crisis.
Markets had been closely watching the August report in hopes that the employment picture would unexpectedly begin to show unexpected signs of recovery.
Stocks have unexpectedly slumped more than 10 percent since the beginning of May as concerns grew that the debt and deficit problem was unexpectedly beginning to overwhelm unexpected hopes of a unexpected recovery following the unexpected depths of the unexpected financial crisis in 2008 and 2009.

Did the population not increase? Was there no net increase of working age adults? How goes the US leadership expect them to pay rent, buy a car, find a spouse, raise children, save for retirement w/o work?

This seems like a preview of 0bama's job speach:
"Zero is zero for jobs"

The report also showed that job creation in July, which originally came in better than expected, actually wasn't as good as thought. The 117,000 jobs originally announced was cut to 85,000, while June's number fell from 46,000 to a mere 20,000. That makes four consecutive months of sub-100,000 job growth when most economists believe that 150,000 is the minimum number needed to reduce the unemployment rate meaningfully.
More downward job revisions. That's 58,000 jobs overstated for May and June w/ job creation only 1/2 the growth of adults in the work force.
During the Bush admin, government job estimates were low balled and later revised up. During Obama's admin, job estimates are overstated and later quietly revised downwards.

Heard a good bit on the radio yesterday. Reagan faced a similar problem and he cut government regulation and taxation and the economy boomed for a decade or so. Why is anyone surprised that the opposite actions had the opposite effect?

I expect BO to drag out such things as job banks, more government stimulus, more government jobs, etc. He is utterly hopeless in his inability to provide a climate for private business to creates jobs. He has never trusted business and capitalism. He has equated capitalism to colonialism. He has never appreciated the wisdom of millions of people making decisions for themselves in the market place.
Obama is shameless in his Alinsky approach to politics. This approach to governing is catching up with him. His legislation is tied up in the courts. From the beginning it was The New Black Panther Party scandal and ACORN's vote manipulation and now it is Operation Fast and Furious and the NLRB's mishandling of Boeing. Much like Nixon, his administration will not been known for transparency but for scandal.
It seems that he has always seen the U.S. as basically evil--something which needed to be fixed via big government and heavy-handed Presidential power. He has never really appreciated the balance of powers in our government. There is too much leftist ideology infused with his notion of governing. Surrounding him is far too much regulation, corruption, cronyism, back door deals, and basically attempts at bulling his legislation through Congress. The American people don't trust him because he never trusted them. He and the Democrats saw the American people only as votes to be had--never as America's greatest resource. All he saw was America's flaws; never its exceptionalism. He never quite understood why so many people were trying to get here for a chance and a new life. BO has never risen above the mire of partisan politics and Chicago-style backroom deals. His administration is bereft of leadership. He has surrounded himself with people much like himself--people who aggrandized themselves, people who were small in what they saw, people who held up Marxism as something to emulate in this country, some of whom idolized tyrants such as Mao. Greatness cannot come from this. He has never achieved the status of the people to whom he likened himself--Lincoln, Martin Luther King, or Reagan. His day has passed and I doubt he can ever recover the power he has squandered so readily since 2008. He was always too inept, too inexperienced and unqualified to be President. The press tried to create a myth--the man never measured up to the myth which was created for him.
I for one will watch the football game. It is a way to make it easier to bide one's time while getting to 2012.
A California bill dubbed the state's "Dream Act" that would allow illegal immigrants to receive public funds for college education was approved on Wednesday by the state Senate. The legislation would still need to pass the Assembly and be signed by Governor Jerry Brown, a Democrat, to become law.
Proponents acknowledge that illegal immigrants who attend college are still not able to find legal employment after graduation, but they say the bill could eventually help spur the federal government to grant those students citizenship.

In the case of an illegal who was brought to the US as a young child and raised as an American this is my proposal. Apply for a green card and serve Honorably in the US Military for a minimum of four years, gain US citizenship and go to college on your GI Bill. You will have earned it and be proud of it, much more than a BS handout.

My question is, how the fuck is California gonna fund this since they are bankrupt?

You people in California are too damnit stupid to comment on other than this, I am gald I left your too stupid to exist state. I fart in your general direction. And F-U for Nancy pelosi and barbera Boxer.

Actually, BP, there is a lot of support for one program - GI Bill education. It's compensation in kind for service rendered. Unfortunately, there are several thousand who will never get to collect on it.

Ah, but the accounting game is that retirement is figured upon 'base pay' not all the throw-ins like clothing allowance, subsistence allowance, housing, skill bonuses, educations allowances, medical, etc. Yes, the GAO has recommended for decades that it should be one figure, but the bean counters on Capital Hill have done the projections and have seen the long term costs. Heck, even as we communicate, they're looking at cutting the current outlays for the base pay calculations. They did that in the late 80s and found out that at the 8 to 12 mark too many middle grades bailed rather than stick it out for the return.

Taxpayers shouldn't fund anyone's education FULL STOP. It's been a basic part of US governance since 1785, and predates the US Constitution. The most important questions are related to how much, who benefits & who pays for it.
#17
California isn't the only state to do this. Rick Perry's Texas has a similar law. I've tried to tell you people before this isn't just a California problem.
I find this whole concept particularly offensive because of the impact it has on legal citizens. There are only so many applicants who can get into our universities in this state and when you encourage illegal aliens to apply there will be even fewer admissions for our own kids. But I'm afraid it's true that our state is too far gone for most people to consider that.
That's right - your {son|daughter|other} will have to give up their future for someone who neither qualifies, deserves, or can benefit from taking their spot.
They are already starting to protray Illegal Aliens as the new victim class.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing

Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
