Iran: Israel feasts on Palestinian blood -- Signs of the Times News: May 11, 3:54am 1 review politics, israel, palestine, genocide, occupation
http://www.sott.net/articles/show/156060-Iran-Israel-feasts-on-Palestinian-blood; From the page: "Tehran says countries celebrating Israel's 60th anniversary are all 'partners in the crimes committed by the regime occupying Palestine'.

"Zionists and their allies are now celebrating the 60th year of the foundation of the occupying regime," said Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki in a Saturday meeting with Secretary General of the Parliamentary Union of OIC Member States Mahmut Erol Kilic.

"One must ask whose gravesite, among the innocent martyred Palestinians, are they celebrating on," he continued. "Those commemorating the Zionist regime's foundation will have no choice but to carry the burden of their crimes.""

Vaccine opt-out clamp-down: proposal to block benefits and school access -- Sign…: May 11, 3:54am 1 review news, big-brother, autism, vaccinations
http://www.sott.net/articles/show/156062-Vaccine-opt-out-clamp-down-proposal-...; From the page: "This article is classic propaganda: full of loaded statements, misleading wording, and flat out lies. The suggestion that those parents who opt out of vaccinations because they are concerned for their children's wellbeing, are 'Blasé' about it, is clearly ridiculous.

The bottom line is, this is a proposal to deny a child access to both money and schooling, unless they take 'voluntary' vaccinations that carry severe health risks.

It seems that our governments are obsessed on forcing us to take these vaccinations, whether we want them ore not. Why? The stated altruistic motives just do not wash, when considered in light of the destructive self-interest that dominates government policy."

Where did the dust come from - Coventry Telegraph: May 11, 3:51am 1 review news, cosmic-dust
http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/2008/05/09/where-did-the-...; From the page: "MYSTERY surrounds sheets of grey dust which settled on cars and homes across Coventry and Warwickshire and beyond at the weekend.

The Environment Agency has sent samples of the unexplained substance to the lab after ruling out the Cemex plant in Rugby as a potential cause.

More than 80 people from as far a field as Solihull, Lichfield, and Nottingham called the agency to complain about the grimy film.

Though experts were sent out to the Cemex plant on Sunday the agency's environment manager, David Hudson, believed it must have come from another source.

He urged people to be vigilant and to report any other similar occurrences.

Anyone affected should call the agency's 24 hour hotline on 0800 80 70 60 or visit environment-agency.gov.uk [environment-agency.gov.uk] "

Bloomberg.com: Science: May 11, 3:50am 1 review psychology, science, morality, conscience, brain-studies
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601124&refer=home&sid=a1fMh5wX3P5Q; From the page: "Brain activity in a region tied to human emotion may help prompt people to be fair rather than efficient in handing out rewards and burdens, say researchers aiming to understand the inspiration behind moral actions.

U.S. scientists used imaging technology to measure the brain activity of 26 adults asked to make decisions about how to allocate meals to orphans. The researchers found that the stronger the activity was in the insula, a part of the brain associated with emotions, the more likely participants were to fairly spread the meals among the children.

Philosophers and economists have long debated why people make moral decisions. So-called moral sentimentalists, such as Adam Smith, argue that the distribution of goods is often rooted in empathy. Others, such as Plato, emphasize reason. This study, reported in the journal Science, suggests that emotion outweighs reason when fairness is at issue, said Michael Gill, an associate professor of philosophy at the University of Arizona.

``There seems, at least initially, to be pretty good reason to think that when we make moral judgments, it's based on our emotions,'' said Gill, who was not associated with the study, in a telephone interview yesterday. ``That seems to suggest the sentimentalists are right.''"

http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/N06339904.htm: May 11, 3:50am 1 review news, climate-change, famine
http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/N06339904.htm; From the page: "Climate change is harder on women in poor countries, where mothers stay in areas hit by drought, deforestation or crop failure as men move to literally greener pastures, a Nobel Peace laureate said on Tuesday.

"Many destructive activities against the environment disproportionately affect women, because most women in the world, and especially in the developing world, are very dependent on primary natural resources: land, forests, waters," said Wangari Maathai of Kenya.

"Women are very immediately affected, and usually women and children can't run away," said Maathai, who won the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize for her work on sustainable development.

"Men can trek and go looking for greener pastures in other areas in other countries ... but for women, they're usually left on site to face the consequences," she said. "So when there is deforestation, when there is drought, when there is crop failure, it is the women and children who are the most adversely affected."

Maathai was in Washington with 1997 Nobel Peace laureate Jody Williams, who got the award for her work in creating an international treaty to ban landmines, and both spoke to reporters at a briefing.

Williams said she saw climate change as a threat to security, and said desertification of former agricultural land fueled the conflict in Darfur."

The Seward Pheonix LOG - DNA links Alaska Natives to ancient glacier man …: May 11, 3:47am 2 reviews news, dna
http://thesewardphoenixlog.com/news/story/2212; From the page: "Seventeen Alaska and Canada Natives have been linked by DNA to an ancient man whose remains were found in 1999 in a glacier.

Among the first to be notified last week was Juneau resident Fernando Rado, who found out on Thursday, May 1, he is one of them.

Rado was one of 250 Native people tested for a DNA match in a project sponsored by the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations and Sealaska Heritage Institute.

The DNA results show nine people from Alaska and eight people from Canada are related to the ancient man, named by tribes Kwaday Dan Ts�inchi (Long Ago Person Found)."

The Cards Are Stacked Against Mothers in America -- Heres How We Can Fix It | Co…: May 11, 3:47am 1 review women-s-issues, inequality
http://www.alternet.org/workplace/84962?page=entire; From the page: "In 2005, I was shocked to learn that, though there isn't as big wage gap when it comes to women without children, there is a huge wage gap for mothers. Since 82 percent of women become mothers, women still have a long way to go before they achieve pay equity. The fact that single moms make about 60 cents to a man's dollar explains pretty easily why there are so many women and children living in poverty, and the profound bias against moms in hiring and wages also goes a long way to explain why there are so few women in leadership. I don't think many Americans are aware of the deep bias against mothers in the workplace."
