Senate Rejects Construction of Devastating Keystone XL
Pipeline --In *pathetic* reelection
bid, TransCanada troll Sen. Mary Landrieu (D) fails in bid to get Senate
approval for eco-terrorists' pipeline to be built over US aquifers 18
Nov 2014 The U.S. Senate today rejected a bill requiring the construction of the
Keystone XL pipeline. The pipeline, which would transport tar sands oil from
Canada to Texas, would worsen the climate crisis and put rivers, streams,
wildlife and pristine landscapes directly in harm's way. "This vote offers a
glimmer of hope that there's some sanity left in the Senate," said Bill Snape,
senior counsel with the Center for Biological Diversity.

Key Polar Bear Population Plummets in Alaska and
Canada 17 Nov 2014 A key polar bear
population fell nearly by half in the past decade, marked by a dramatic increase
in deaths of young cubs, a new U.S.-Canada study says. Researchers chiefly blame shrinking sea ice from global
warming. Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey and
Environment Canada tagged and released polar bears in the southern Beaufort Sea
off Alaska and northwestern Canada from 2001 to 2010. The bear
population shrank to about 900 in 2010, down from about 1,600 in
2004.

morning in a synagogue in the western Jerusalem neighborhood of Har Nof. Two

Adom ambulances administered first aid to the wounded before evacuating them to

Karem, and the rest to Shaare Zedek Medical Center.

Afghanistan 18 Nov 2014 At least 18 people
have been killed in two separate US-led airstrikes in the eastern Afghan
province of Nangarhar. Twelve people were killed after a vehicle was attacked in

Spain parliament symbolically recognizes
Palestine 18 Nov 2014 Following similar
moves across Europe, Spanish lawmakers have overwhelmingly approved a resolution
recognizing Palestine. Though non-binding and largely symbolic, the resolution
gleaned 319 votes in its favor, two against it, and one abstention. The motion
was proposed by the main opposition Socialists.
Did pictures of Homeland Security vehicles massing near Ferguson get
man fired? 18 Nov 2014 A Navy veteran in
Missouri said he was fired from his job and called a terrorist for posting
pictures to Fb of Homeland Security vehicles massing near Ferguson. Mark
Paffrath, who worked for the Drury hotel chain, said he could not believe what
he was hearing when he was called into his boss's office last week, a couple of
days after posting the pictures which he took in the parking lot of the hotel
where he worked. The pictures he took and posted on Thursday were of dozens of
vehicles marked with the logos of the Department of Homeland Security and
Federal Protection Services. Paffrath said the large number of federal vehicles
and employees arrived last week.
Voter Laws Scrutinized For Impact On
Midterms 18 Nov 2014 In North Carolina,
early voting was cut by seven days. In Kansas, 22,000 people were stopped from
registering to vote because they lacked proof of citizenship. And in Texas,
Democrats say the country's toughest voter ID law contributed to a one-term
congressman losing a tight race to his Republican rival. After an Election Day
that featured a wave of new voting restrictions across the country, data and
details about who cast a ballot are being picked over to see if tighter rules
swayed the outcomes of any races or contributed to the lowest voter turnout in
72 years. [*Duh.*]
Are Flu Vaccines Risking Senior Citizens' Lives? Some Say
Yes 16 Nov 2014 ...In her blog,
Sharyl Attkisson cites a buried JAMA study
from almost a decade ago which showed that there was no improvement in mortality
rates among senior citizens with a flu vaccine, even after greatly increased
vaccination rates...Johns Hopkins scientist, Peter Doshi, Ph.D., issued a
report in the prestigious British
Medical Journal, according to NewsLI, asserting that the CDC
policy of routinely recommending the flu vaccine is being based on
"low quality studies that do not substantiate claims." Interestingly, Doshi
cites an Australian study which found significant risks for children as well,
stating that "one in every 110 children under the age of five had
convulsions following vaccinations in 2009 for H1N1 influenza." During
the dr-g trials for the Fluzone flu vaccine, 23 seniors out of 3,833 died after
receiving the shot, according to the dr-g's package insert, reported
by Health Impact News. Another 226 experienced "serious adverse
effects."
Appeals court affirms that Maine's Medicaid program must cover
low-income 19- and 20-year-olds 17 Nov 2014
Gov. Paul LePage's administration [of lunatics] cannot remove thousands of
low-income young people from Maine's Medicaid rolls, a federal appeals court
judge ruled Monday. Chief Judge Sandra Lynch of the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals
in Boston ruled that the federal government was correct in rejecting the
Republican governor's plan to eliminate coverage for about 6,000 19- and
20-year-olds...Maine has covered that population for more than 20 years, the
judge said.
