Tim DeChristopher is scheduled to be sentenced in a Salt Lake City courtroom by U.S. District Judge Dee Benson on July 26. He faces up to 10 years in prison and a $750,000 fine for fraudulently bidding in December 2008 on parcels of land, including areas around eastern Utah’s national parks, which were being sold off by the Bush administration to the oil and natural gas industry. As Bidder No. 70, he drove up the prices of some of the bids and won more than a dozen other parcels for $1.8 million. The government is asking Judge Benson to send DeChristopher to prison for four and a half years.

As you can see in this video, for years now the Mainstream has been pushing the toxic chemical Deet as a safe insect repellent. Now new research shows that the insect-repelling chemical deet actually functions in the same way as deadly nerve gases and dangerous pesticides, by attacking the nervous systems of both insects and mammals.
The chemical known as deet (for N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide) is found in nearly every commonly used mosquito repellent in the world, and eight billion doses have been applied since its introduction to the consumer market in 1957. The chemical was originally developed as an insect repellent by the U.S. Army in 1946, following experience with jungle warfare in World War II.
“These findings question the safety of deet, particularly in combination with other chemicals,” said researcher Vincent Corbel of Institut de Recherche pour le Developpement in Montpellier.

How much outrage can a single multinational corporation inspire? How much damage can they inflict? The breathtaking new film, The World According to Monsanto, featuring a company whose only rival may be BP.
Based on a painstaking investigation, this documentary pieces together the story of Monsanto, a century-old corporation with a controversial past and today’s leader in genetically modified crops. Monsanto claims it wants to solve world hunger and protect the environment, but its quest for market supremacy is to the detriment of global food security and environmental stability.
The World According to Monsanto delves into one of the largest chemical companies in history, regarded by many as one of the world’s great corporate villains.The World According to Monsanto is a chilling documentary that dives into the who, what, when, where, why and how of one of the world’s largest chemical/agriculture companies.
This is one of the most powerful, must see films for anyone interested in the behind the scenes world of the food industry, and how just one world dominating corporation holds the keys and patents to much of the worlds food supply.

As a woman I was horrified about the reaction of BILL'O about the Doctor Tiller who performed late term abortions. It is not an easy thing for these women that chooose to do a late term abortion. But BILL'O trys to insite the killing of this Doctor. He justifies the action of the killer. And says the Doctor deserved to be killed. I just wish this could only feel what a woman is going through this procedure. Him and the leader of the Anti-Choice whats so weird is the leader of the Anti-Choice group is a Man he will never know. Roe v Wade we have a choice we don't want to have to going to back alleys with coat hangers up us to not be pregnant. Just "don't have sex its that easy" try being raped then come and preach to me!As a woman I was horrified about the reaction of BILL'O about the Doctor Tiller... more

"Round them up - and get rid of them!" "Or even kill them if you like" says wildlife biologist Steve Garber reported by the New York POST.
Shouldn't we as a supposed intelligent species develop a deterrent on Planes much like the devices that can be installed on cars to scar Deers out of the way ?
Couldn't there be some kind of filter that would prevent birds/water fowl from being sucked into jet engines without blocking optimum air intake ?
IMHO, Killing animals is wrong, there has to be a more "humane" way to deter this from happening."Round them up - and get rid of them!" "Or even kill them if you... more

Back in September, when the presidential election seemed up for grabs, a group of more than 60 Nobel Prize-winning scientists endorsed Barack Obama. One important reason: his plan to increase federal funding for research, which they argued would result in "new ways to provide energy ... and improve our economy." Fund science, goes the logic, because basic research always yields economic benefits.
Now, with the economy in tumult and a deficit that could reach $1 trillion this year, the question is not whether research and development should be a priority but whether Obama will be able to deliver. And even if he can still manage to increase funding, simply putting more cash into the same old research priorities won't help invent the future. Obama will surely aim to spend more than George W. Bush (but not enough to make everyone happy). More important, he'll have to create policies that ensure good ideas make it out of the lab.Back in September, when the presidential election seemed up for grabs, a group of more... more

Motorcycles are by definition efficient machines, but their Prius-like fuel economy often is accompanied by emissions that make a Hummer look clean. As regulators get wise to that fact and go after two-wheelers, the motorcycle industry is embracing alternatives ranging from battery power to hydrogen fuel cells.
The pace of development in recent years is remarkable considering motorcycle design hasn't changed much since the first Hildebrand & Wolfmuller appeared in a showroom 114 years ago. Materials have advanced alongside technology, but motorcycles are still an internal combustion engine between two wheels. Motorcycles may deliver 70 mpg or more, but they can be 10 times more polluting per mile than passenger cars. That has the United States and European Union pushing motorcycles to run cleaner and greener.Motorcycles are by definition efficient machines, but their Prius-like fuel economy... more

Human hair could be used instead of chemical fertilizers for some plants like lettuce, new research in a horticultural journal suggests.
The hair, which is manufactured into cubes from barbershop and hair-salon waste, provides nitrogen for plants as it decomposes, just as natural-gas-derived sources like ammonia do.
"Once the degradation and mineralization of hair waste starts, it can provide sufficient nutrients to container-grown plants and ensure similar yields to those obtained with the commonly used fertilizers in horticulture," said horticulturalist Vlatcho Zheljazkov of Mississippi State University.Human hair could be used instead of chemical fertilizers for some plants like lettuce,... more

Neanderthals could handle the weather, but they couldn't handle us, concludes a new analysis of late-Pleistocene hominid habitation.
Soon after modern humans arrived in Western Europe, plenty of temperate, food-rich habitat existed for our evolutionary near-brothers — but their settlements dwindled, and modern human settlements spread.
These patterns suggest that one of modern anthropological history's great mysteries had a harsh ending: a competition in which Neanderthals, for reasons still unknown, were doomed.Neanderthals could handle the weather, but they couldn't handle us, concludes a... more

On a late fall afternoon on the western edge of the Netherlands, coastal engineer Marcel Stive stands atop a 40-foot dune. He stares out beyond the posse of wet-suit-clad surfers wading into the breakers of the North Sea. Where the surfers see inviting waves, Stive sees dry land—and a distant storm. He points south toward Rotterdam, Europe's busiest port. Arm outstretched, Stive rotates 180 degrees to face the shoreline running north. "As far as you can see, in both directions, we're going to push the coast out 3, maybe 4, kilometers," he says. "We have to—to keep the water out."On a late fall afternoon on the western edge of the Netherlands, coastal engineer... more

On Tuesday, the Wildlife Conservation Society said that increases in climate change may actually help spread deadly infectious diseases. The main diseases which the society is most concered about, nicknamed the "deadly dozen", are as follows: avian flu (bird flu), tick-borne babesia, cholera, ebola, parasites, plague, lyme disease, red tides of algal blooms, Rift Valley fever, sleeping sickness, tuberculosis and yellow fever.
Steven Sanderson, head of the society said, "The term 'climate change' conjures images of melting ice caps and rising sea levels that threaten coastal cities and nations, but just as important is how increasing temperatures and fluctuating precipitation levels will change the distribution of dangerous pathogens,"
The U.N. Climate Panel has stated the greenhouse gas emissions, caused mostly by the use of fossil fuels, are raising temperatures and will disrupt several weather patterns across the globe.
