Opponents of day laborer center wonder about unmarked graves - The specter of a Native American mass grave now hangs over a proposed Live Oak Day Laborer Center following a 11th-hour plea by opponents as the project heads to a critical vote. The possibility that part of the project - located on the perimeter of Holy Cross Cemetery - could be built on unmarked graves was cited by opponents Monday, based partly on reports of an old mass grave on cemetery grounds. The Planning Commission is scheduled to vote on the matter Wednesday morning.

Below Greenland's vast ice sheet could lie enough rare earths, which are in extraordinary demand, to satisfy at least a quarter of global demand in the future, but concerns remain about damaging the pristine Arctic environment.
Is Dilbit Oil? Congress and the IRS Say No: The oil industry has often said that dilbit, a heavy crude oil from Canada's tar sands, isn't much different from conventional crude oil. But when it comes to paying into a federal fund used to clean up oil spills, it's different enough to deserve a sizeable tax break.
Coal mining companies and state regulators are struggling to figure out the impact of U.S. EPA's new greenhouse gas emission rules on mines. While the policy debate has centered on large industrial emitters, the mining industry has been trying to understand how new regulatory systems apply to them. http://www.eenews.net/public/Greenwire/2012/07/31/1

Hospital Chain Internal Reports Found Dubious Cardiac work: HCA, the largest for-profit hospital chain in the country, is confronting evidence of unnecessary cardiac treatments at some of its medical centers in Florida after a nurse’s complaint prompted an internal investigation. HCA, the largest for-profit hospital chain in the United States with 163 facilities, had uncovered evidence as far back as 2002 and as recently as late 2010 showing that some cardiologists at several of its hospitals in Florida were unable to justify many of the procedures they were performing. In some cases, the doctors made misleading statements in medical records that made it appear the procedures were necessary, according to internal reports.

According to the government's own numbers you are much more likely to be killed by FDA approved prescription drugs than a homicidal shooter.
And yet, the media and the gov't want you to trust your doctor and fear your neighbor.

A week after uncovering a hidden-funds scandal at the state parks department, finance officials are now trying to piece together why the balance sheets for similar "special funds" are off by $2.3 billion -- money that appeared to be right under their noses amid California's financial meltdown. http://www.mercurynews.com/california-budget/ci_21168552/up-2-3-billion-california-public-funds-hiding

F.B.I. agents on a hunt for leakers have interviewed current and former high-level government officials from multiple agencies in recent weeks, casting a distinct chill over press coverage of national security issues as agencies decline routine interview requests and refuse to provide background briefings.
The FBI, for the first time, has admitted publicly that it knew the radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki was returning to the U.S. in October 2002 and that an FBI agent discussed the American's return with a U.S. attorney before he was detained and then abruptly released from federal custody. Al-Awlaki, who would become the first American targeted for death by the CIA, eventually was killed last September in Yemen by a U.S. drone strike. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/08/01/top-official-admits-fbi-had-al-awlaki-in-custody-but-let-him-go...
As soon as they saw the terrified boy’s photo three years ago, federal agents Peter Manning and Gregory Squire had the same thought: we have to save him.

Not long ago, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta cited the UN and NATO as providing a 'legal basis' for military action. Not the U.S. Congress.
With that in mind, let's take a quick look at some of the more infamous 'actions' that NATO was responsible for, as they may apply to recent events.

Most recent earthquakes in North Texas happened close to injection wells used to dispose of wastewater from oil and gas drilling in the region.

Enbridge Inc. plans to restart a pipeline that leaked more than 1,000 barrels of crude onto a Wisconsin field after receiving the greenlight from U.S. regulators, which issued Enbridge a corrective action order, calling for measures to be taken before it would allow the resumption of flows along Line 14.
Environmentalists are warning that a plan to pipe billions of gallons of water a year from rural central Nevada nearly 300 miles to the Las Vegas metropolitan area will dry up wetlands and springs, damaging thousands of acres of wildlife habitat and potentially creating a "dust bowl" scenario.

That President Obama had signed a 'secret' order directing the CIA to aid the Syrian rebels is now public. This reminds me of Jimmy Carter's 'secret' order of July 3rd 1979, which directed the CIA to aid the Afghan Mujahideen. That led to the creation of the Taliban and Al Qaeda. What will this lead to?
