Increase in STDs Creating a Play At Your Own Risk Environment

In the United Kingdom, 448,422 new cases of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) were diagnosed in 2012, a report by Public Health England showed.

Health authorities offer two solutions: 1. practice safe sex and 2. getting tested annually or when one moves on to another sex partner.

I think a 3rd solution would be to practice abstinence until marriage but of course that is not very popular.

The UK numbers are fairly low when compared to past statistics from the United States.
In 2011, a total of 1,412,791 cases of Chlamydia trachomatis infection were reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This was an 8 percent increase from the 2010 reports.
There was even more bad new for sex in America when it comes to Gonorrhea reports.
In 2011 there was another 4.0% increase with a total of 321,849 cases of gonorrhea reported in the United States.

There was a little good news in the United States when it came to the syphilis report. Only 360 cases reported in 2011, a 19% decrease since 2008.

Some of these increased numbers are alarming creating a "Play at your own Risk" sexual environment.

Famous people who had some form of STD that contributed to their death.

 Al Capone, American Gangster in Chicago nicknamed "the scarface" - from wiki:
Capone's control and interests within organized crime diminished rapidly after his imprisonment, and he was no longer able to run the Outfit after his release. He had lost weight, and his physical and mental health had declined. On January 21, 1947, Capone had an apoplectic stroke. He regained consciousness and started to improve but contracted pneumonia on January 24. This caused him to suffer a cardiac arrest the next day (possibly associated with the complications of third-stage neurosyphilis).[citation needed] Capone died after the arrest.

Kevin Trudeau Trial Began today

Kevin Trudeau

Minutes before his criminal contempt trial began today, TV pitchman Kevin Trudeau stood in the hallway outside U.S. District Judge Ronald Guzman’s courtroom dressed in a snazzy gray suit and crisp red tie.

“You look good,” a security guard told Trudeau as he walked past.

“Yeah?” replied Trudeau, his arms outstretched. “Because I’m not wearing orange!”
Trudeau, 50, who had recently been held in jail for six days, is charged with violating the terms of a decade-old consent order in which he promised the Federal Trade Commission that he would stop making misleading ads touting his best-selling book, “The Weight Loss Cure 'They' Don't Want You to Know About.”
If he is convicted in the unusual trial, he could be wearing an orange prison jumpsuit again. The criminal contempt charge has no statutory maximum sentence under federal law, giving prosecutors wide leeway in the time they could seek if Trudeau is found guilty.
In opening statements Tuesday, prosecutors painted Trudeau as a snake oil salesman who promised his weight loss program was “easy” when it actually called for drastic techniques such as prescription hormone injections, a month of colon hydrotherapy and a grueling 500-calorie-a-day diet.
Jurors today watched three, half-hour infomercials that aired on late-night TV in 2006 and 2007, years after Trudeau had signed an agreement before U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman to not make any ads that misrepresented what was in his books.

In the infomercials, all shot in a “live interview” talk show format, an animated Trudeau told viewers he’d uncovered a secret and permanent weight loss plan that was devised by a British doctor in the 1950s and was being covered up by the government and big food companies that wanted to keep people fat.

The key to the program was a “miracle substance” that was easy to find and use and changed the body’s metabolism, allowing someone to eat as much as they wanted – from pot roast and mashed potatoes to ice cream sundaes with real whipped cream – and not gain back any weight, Trudeau claimed. He said there was no exercise or dieting, no portion control or calorie counting required.

“This is the simplest and most effective way to lose weight on Planet Earth, and it’s being hidden from the public,” Trudeau said in one infomercial from 2007.

Prosecutors say the “miracle” drug was actually a hormone found in pregnant women. The book called for it to be injected into the buttocks every day for at least a month.

Remains Found in Corbin Storage Unit

Jawbone

CORBIN, Ky. - Investigators believer they're closer to figuring out the name of the person whose bones were found in a Corbin storage unit.


Thursday, someone found the bones in a storage unit on Highway 25. Now police believe the bones could be from a woman reported missing in Delaware 16 years ago.


Steven Terry was going through some DVD’s and odds and ends from a storage unit he’d just bought at an auction when he and his father made a shocking discovery.


“I was moving some of them…..yellow bag that was rolled up. I told him..looked like some bones in there,” Terry said.


One looked like a jawbone..others looked like ribs. He took the bones to the office and police were called and the dispatcher got quite a story.


“A guy worked for me a little while his wife disappeared. Everyone thought he killed her,” the caller is heard telling a 911 dispatcher in tapes.


The caller says that man supposedly died and the storage unit was sold to Terry. And his purchase may have helped crack a 16-year-old cold case.


“We’re following an active lead. Missing person case out of Delaware. From 1997,” said Det. Rusty Hedrick with Corbin Police.


Police in New Castle County, Delaware say positive identification is yet to be made but the remains could be that of Doris Anne Wood, 42, who was last seen on July 28th, 1997 when she went to go see her sister but never arrived.


“That would be great if a family could get closure from this. If somebody was missing,” said Terry.


No one was ever charged in the missing person case but Wood’s husband, Robert, was questioned. He has family in Kentucky.


“Corbin police did assist authorities at that time with some cadaver dogs, Believe it was the same case,” said Det. Hedrick.


Medical examiners in Delaware are currently working with those from Kentucky to make a positive identification.

Cars pulled from Okla. lake - 6 Bodies inside

 

 It's a mystery more than four decades in the making. Two cars -- rusted, caked with mud and carrying as many as six bodies -- pulled from the bottom of an Oklahoma lake.

According to CNN affiliates KFOR and KOCO, Custer County sheriff's deputies weren't looking for the cars Tuesday, but found them anyway when Oklahoma Highway Patrol sonar equipment being used for another purpose revealed their location at the bottom of the reservoir about 150 miles west of Oklahoma City.

Investigators say they believe one car may belong to a teenager who disappeared with two friends in 1970. The other car could be linked to the disappearance of a man in 1969, the stations reported.

Debbie McManamman said she believes the older car, which appears to be a 1950s-era Chevrolet, contains the remains of her grandfather, KFOR reported. The station didn't name the man, and Custer County authorities told CNN early Wednesday that Sheriff Bruce Peoples wasn't available for comment.

"We never gave up, we always wanted some clue that somebody knew something," McManamman told the station.

"It's been very traumatic -- I can remember my dad having dreams at night and getting in the car as soon as he was off from his day job, taking my mom, and they would look and look and look -- any trace," McManamman said.

Peoples told KOCO on Tuesday that the other car, a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro, may have belonged to 16-year-old Jimmy Williams, a Sayre, Oklahoma, teenager who disappeared in 1970 with two friends: Thomas Rios and Leah Johnson, both 18.

The disappearances have long been part of local lore, Sayre resident Mandy Dunlap told KFOR.

"Everybody's just talking about it, you know, can't believe after so many years we're finding those vehicles in a lake," she told the station.

Peoples told KOCO that he hoped the discoveries could help put families at ease about what happened to their loved ones so many years ago.

"It has real importance to the families to determine, so they can have closure and know what happened to their families and have remains and to go on with life now," he said.

China and Russia Training Together

China's Snow Leopard Commandos

While you were not looking, a couple of big time players in world affairs were having a little get together.

On June 11th, Chinese and Russian special forces held a 10 day joint military exercise in Beijing.
The title given to this joining of forces was "Cooperation 2013".
This marked the first ever joint training operation held in China.

46 personnel from China's elite anti-terrorism Snow Leopard Commandos joined with 29 Russians from a special task force unit in domestic security.

According to reports the 2 forces aimed to learn from each other to improve their counter terrorism skills and tactics. The military exercises consisted of training courses on shooting, forced entry, hostage rescue and terrorist camp raids.

This is not the first time these 2 forces have worked together, back in Sept. 2007, a training exercise was held in Russia.

As these 2 strong military forces continue to strengthen their ties, one can only wonder what might come from it.

Thanks

Shocking Statistics from Great Britain

Bloody unbelievable, shocking really 

Shag on! But at what cost?

A shocking 54 percent of babies born to British mothers in 2012 were unmarried parent, According to Britain's Office of National Statistics.

Overall, 47.5 percent of children born last year were born out of wedlock. Shocking indeed.

The reason a majority of children were born to married parents is that immigrant mothers are more likely to be married the natural British citizens.

Britain is a world leader in broken homes and that is just shocking. Broken and single parent homes can have a devastation effect on children.


Thanks

The Price Of Terrorism

Towers coming down

America's cost to defend against terrorism is a big drain on the economy. The sad part is that it's also not very effective or so it seems.

Here is a quote from Osama Bin Laden:
"Al Qaeda spent $500,000 on the 9/11 attacks...America lost..while according to the lowest estimates, more that $500 Billion..."

Adam Gadahn, an Al Qaeda spokesman said: " Even failed attacks bring major cities to a halt, cost the enemy billions, and send his corporations into bankruptcy."

Lets look at some of the stats and details about the cost of terrorism.

     * The U.S. has spent $1.1 Trillion on homeland security since 9/11 (But is it working)

     * U.S. Air Marshal Program is costing an annual cost of $1.2 billion with the number of lives believed to have been saved at a whopping ZERO!

     * War on Terror in Iraq and Afghanistan is costing over $2 Trillion! Another 2-4 Trillion if you add in Medical care and disability benefits for soldiers.

     * Airport security, AKA Body Scanner program is costing an Annual $1.2 Billion!

The full body scanner was implemented in a reaction to the "Underwear bomber".

With all this money and security measures you would think it's much safer, I guess it is a little, but according to statics, 7 out of 10 weapons are still getting though screeners at airports.

So even if these methods manage to stop a few possible terror attacks, the cost is bankrupting America.

So is there any other solution? This question is open for some debate that is for sure, but it would seem a more effective way would be to control our borders and who is coming into America. Whatever the next plan is to foil terror attacks can't come soon enough for an America that continues to be at an economical stand still.

Thanks

Bulletproof Wear for Kids

Bulletproof backpacks

Everyone can no doubt remember the Sandy Hook Shooting. The after effects of the Sand Hook event has help Miguel Caballero, Who is Miguel Caballero you ask?

Mr. Caballero manufactures protective gear for high risk situations. Namely bulletproof wear, but his line of bulletproof wear for kids has seen an increase in sale after the Sandy Hook event.

Caballero's company is gaining a lot of attention for it's bulletproof vests that are attached to bulletproof backpacks.
Caballero's factory is in Colombia and he demonstrates his product by blasting it with pistols and machine guns. Caballero said that since the mass shooting in Sandy Hook interest in his products has soared.

Despite the bloody conflict that has been raging in Colombia for 50 years, Caballero says the product was "created wit the American market in mind, not for the Latino market. All the designs and colors, everything is thought out with them (America) in mind."


So Caballero, a Colombian  manufacturer, is making body armor for American children.
What has the world come to that we have to send our kids off to school with bulletproof armor on?

America's GPS Satellite Targeted by China

Things you Need to Know!

China's military conducted the first test of an advanced anti-satellite missile on May 13, a significant step in Beijing's strategy of developing asymmetric military programs for use against the United States. The new DN-2 ASAT system could give the Chinese military the ability to "degrade or damage" the U.S. Global Positioning System(GPS).

Rick Fisher of the International Assessment and Strategy Center had this to say:

"This is not merely a threat against some American Military satellites, but a threat to what has become a vital part of the global electronic infrastructure, affecting global commerce and financial flows, to your personal finances that contribute to personal freedom."

Settlement in OxyContin Lawsuit

Purdue Pharma, makers of the powerful drug OxyContin, has agreed to pay $4 million in a damages to a Kentucky county. A lawsuit was filed in 2007 by Pike County for damages over the use of the narcotic. The lawsuit stated that the community suffered after the company marketed OxyContin as a safe alternative to other pain medicine.

Pike Judge Executive Wayne T. Rutherford stated he couldn't give further details about the settlement due to the terms of the agreement.
Rutherford went on to say "Finally, Pike County Government will have the funds to make a difference in the drug addiction."
Pike County plans to create a Re-Entry program for people who are addicted to drugs.

OxyContin is sometimes called "Heroin of the Hills" or "Hillbilly Heroin" in many counties in Kentucky.

The Pike County attorney in the case was Gary C. Johnson, who according to reports was very passionate presenting the case in court.

This is a huge win for Pike county but what about the many other counties in Kentucky who have been effected by the drug? There has been many deaths linked to the use and addiction of OxyContin in many counties such as Bell, Harlan, and Knox.

I wonder if any of these other counties will follow the example of Pike County and file Lawsuits against Purdue Pharma? Only time will tell.

Thanks

Should you be Vegan

Vegans who breastfeed put their baby at risk

An 11 month old baby exclusively breastfed by a vegan mother has died and the parents are charged with neglect after an autopsy indicated the baby suffered from deficiencies in vitamin B12 and Vitamin A – both known to be critical to a child’s development.
Vegans have long been advised to take B12 supplements as long term veganism runs the huge risk of serious B12 deficiency as well as other nutrients only found in animal foods such as true Vitamin A.   Beta carotene is not true vitamin A nor does it easily convert to adequate amounts of Vitamin A in the body.
The parent of this baby got 5 years in prison.

Health issues due to vegan diet

TV and film actress Ginnifer Goodwin was a zealous and dedicated vegan for 2 years. She revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live recently that she stopped eating vegan after experiencing some health issues which she did not disclose.
Goodwin stated: "I’m always learning and growing and changing and there were some boring health issues, and so I did actually have to work some animal products back into my diet."

The first animal food she ate after her stint as a vegan was a scrambled egg from a farm where the chickens run free.

Another popular celebrity that has dropped the vegan diet is Angelina Jolie.
Jolie stated she was a vegan for a long time and it nearly killed her. The fact is that some of the most critical nutrients for health, vitamins A, D, and B12 are simply not found in an exclusively plant based diet.

So the short answer to the question "Should you be Vegan?" is a no it seems.

The Money War

[image from the wonderful works of Justine Smith]

Did you know that back in 2009 the Pentagon held its first ever financial war games?
This was a war game not about moving Carriers, Tanks, tactical strikes and aerial bombardments, the weapons were currencies, stocks, bonds, interest rates and derivatives.
The purpose of this game was to discover fatal weaknesses and how an enemy might exploit them.

Jim Rickards, a Wall Street banker, participated in these war games. In his book Currency Wars, he wrote that the pentagon was clumsy at financial warfare.

Financial war is not something that may be looming in the near future, this war has already begun and on a global scale.

In 2010, Brazilian Finance Minister Guido Mantega was the first public official to confirm what many already knew. He stated "We're in the midst of an international currency war" and went on to say "This threatens us because it takes away our competitiveness..."

In the U.S. and many other governments, you hear the officials say "Strong Dollar" every once in a while, but what many of them are actually doing is actively and openly devaluing their currencies to gain an unfair short term economic advantages.

Face with very high unemployment and a very slow global economy, the leading economies are resorting to currency manipulation to steal a greater piece of the economic pie.

In 2012, Global central banks cut interest rates 75 times in an effort to weaken currencies.

When Shinzo Abe was elected prime minister of Japan back in December, he said Japan would implement a massive $1.4 trillion money printing plan to reduce the value of the yen. He also said the yen had risen too high but the truth is that the dollar, euro and yuan had fallen making it appear the yen had risen.  The Prime minister then strong armed Bank of Japan into doubling the inflation level.

This is just a few examples, China is a big player in the currency war and not only that the whole world is engaged and has an interest on some scale. It all could lead to a full blown trade war in the very near future.

So it really don't matter who is to blame or who really started it because it is really heating up and shows no sign of ending.

Germany Wants It's Gold From Fort Knox

Fort Knox

In January The Germany Central Bank made a announcement. It ask American and France to return it's gold. 743 tons of gold will be returned (Some already has) to the vaults in Frankfurt.

What's going on you ask?

Well it seems American and France have been holding Germany's gold for basically 3 reasons
1. - having it in American makes it easier to sell, pledge and easier to trade.
2. - Safety, it was safer to spread Germany's gold out during the cold war to protect it from the Soviets.

Now with the Cold war behind them it is no longer a concern. Germany feels safe enough to bring the gold home, this speaks loudly about Germany's changing relationship with Russia.

The 3rd reason
3. - After WWII Germany was forced to store it's gold overseas, this was an effort to ensure Germany would not disrupt world peace again.

America holds about 20 percent of Germany's gold or about 330 tons of it.

So what could this mean?
The first thing one can assume is that Germany will be somewhat more "bullish" towards France, See Germany is fighting for control of the European Central Bank against another group led by France. Germany has already started taking the gold from Paris vaults.

Why the change of mind about reason #3?
It seems now that American, Britain and France think they no longer need the insurance policy  to protect world peace. This could turn out to be a very big mistake.

Some things you might not know about Germany and the Mideast

Germany for years supported Turkey and Israel, conducting very few arms deals with Arab dictators but now that has really changed.
Germany have made some very large arms deals with many dictators in the middle east.
- Attack Submarines - 2 to Egypt
- Meko 200 Frigate - 2 to Algeria
- Eurofighter Typhoon - 72 to Saudi Arabia and 60 to United Arab Emirates
- Armored Carriers - 1,2000 to Algeria
- Leopard 2 tanks - 270 to Saudi Arabia (some say as many as 800) and 36 to Qatar

Germany Military Deployments -
4,400 Soldiers in Afghanistan
1,249 in Kosovo
2 patrol boats on Lebanese Coast
190 soldiers in Lebanon
2 Patriot Missile Batteries and up to 400 soldier in Turkey
plus more soldiers and personnel in Djibouti, Bosnia, Mali, Sudan, South Sudan, Uganda, Congo, Somalis, Uzbekistan and several more areas.


So this might make one question the release of all this gold and maybe rightfully so.

Keep your eyes open.

Thanks

Tweet - Two Explosions in the White House and Barack Obama is injured!

Breaking: Two Explosions in the White House and Barack Obama is injured - was the tweet.

A hacker compromised the main Twitter account for the Associated Press on Tuesday, creating momentary chaos across the world by inaccurately posting that US President Barack Obama was injured by an explosion in the White House.
Just after 1 p.m. EST, a message sent by the account @AP read “Breaking: Two Explosions in the White House and Barack Obama is injured.”

Journalists inside the White House at the time of the tweet quickly refuted the claim and reported that no blast had been felt at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The AP announced from a separate account moments later that the initial tweet was not true and that hackers wrote and published the incorrect claim.
"The @AP Twitter account has been suspended after it was hacked. The tweet about an attack on the White House was false," the news agency announced.
White House spokesman Jay Carney went on the air moments later to confirm that the president had not been harmed by any reported explosion.
“The president is fine,” Carney said. “I was just with him.”
Immediately after the fake tweet went live, both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 took drastic nosedives before quickly rebounding.

The Syrian Electronic Army is taking credit for the compromise, but have yet to provide evidence. Just days earlier, though, Twitter suspended that group’s main account after they took responsibility for hacking @60Minute, @48Hours and @CBSDenver — three accounts all registered to CBS News.

With Tuesday’s hack, whoever is responsible again targeted multiple accounts. The Associated Press has confirmed that, their @AP_Mobile account has been compromise as well.
Mike Baker, an Olympia, Washington-based reporter for AP, says on Twitter that his company’s main account was hacked “less than an hour after some of us received an impressively disguised phishing email.” According to a report published Tuesday in the New York Times, a spokesperson for AP also confirms that malware has infected a number of the company’s computers in recent days.
The Associated Press’ main Twitter account is followed by nearly 2 million social media users.

Are we our own worst Enemy ?

Despite Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi's  Muslin Brotherhood ties and recent dictatorial action, U.S. President Obama is ensuring that America's annual $1.3 billion in military aid to Egypt continues. The aid is sent in the form of money and state of the art weaponry. The recent shipment included 200 M1 A1 battle tanks and a squadron of F-16s. (Pictured above)

Egypt already has the fourth largest fleet of F-16s in the world and is only about 100 fighter jets behind Israel. Egypt has 4,000 total tanks and that is almost double what Israel has.

So if Egypt attacks Israel the United States and their leaders would be guilty of supplying weapons to the attackers.
Now that is a sad state of affairs.

Whats Happening to Men?

Some shocking facts mostly about men:
- 70 percent of all D's and F's in U.S. public schools are from Male students.
- 20 percent of men are able but not working ,only 5 percent in 1950.
- 2/3 of students in special education programs are boys.
- From 1970 until 2012 the woman's contribution to family income has risen to over 40 percent.
- Boys play an average of 13 hours a week of video games compared to only 5 hours a week by girls.
- boys are living with their parents at double the rate of their female peers.
- Almost 60 percent of parents are giving money to their grown kids.
- Every year in America, 170,000 more women earn bachelor's degrees than men.


So it seems men in general are becoming less ambitious, less social, more lazy and less manly.
Feminists seen to be happy about this breakdown of the strong men mentality but what has taken it's place? Academically and Financially growing woman with no one to marry. Is this what feminists want? A loss of masculine men?

Women keep growing academically and financially and look for success, while it seems men are becoming less manly.
Maybe it's time for men to put back on that flannel button up shirt, go out and chop some wood and become the Men they should be in the first place.

2 Men Threatened girls with baseball bats

Two Chicago men armed with a baseball bat are accused of trying to rob two 15-year-old girls during an attack  on Friday night that was foiled by two off duty police officers, police said.

Carlos Alvizo, 18, of the 5600 block of South Homan Avenue and Elias Martinez, 21, of the 2300 block of South Trumbull Avenue were both charged with two counts of attempted armed robbery of two 15-year-old girls that happened in the 3600 block South Hoyne Avenue in the city’s McKinley Park neighborhood, police said.

One of the suspects was wielding a baseball bat as they demanded “everything’’ from the girls, according to a police report.

One said: “Give me everything. I don’t want to whack you. Do you have any money? Do you have your cell phone? What do you have in your pocket?”’ according to the report.
Alvizo reached into a pocket of one of victims before but both men fled when they spotted two people – who happened to be off duty police officers from Chicago and Forest Park – who began running after them, the report said.

Both men jumped into a gray Dodge Neon but as Martinez turned on its ignition the officers were able to stop them before they drove away in the car, police said.
The girls later identified them and they were arrested

No to same-sex wedding cakes

Gay wedding cakes?

GRESHAM, Ore -- The Oregon Department of Justice is looking into a complaint that a Gresham bakery refused to make a wedding cake for a same sex marriage.
It started on Jan. 17 when a mother and daughter showed up at Sweet Cakes by Melissa looking for the perfect wedding cake.

"My first question is what's the wedding date," said owner Aaron Klein.  "My next question is bride and groom's name ... the girl giggled a little bit and said it's two brides."
Klein apologized to the women and told them he and his wife do not make cakes for same-sex marriages.  Klein said the women were disgusted and walked out.

"I believe that marriage is a religious institution ordained by God," said Klein.  "A man should leave his mother and father and cling to his wife ... that to me is the beginning of marriage."
At the advice of their attorney, the women are not speaking to the media, but they have plenty of support.  Numerous people have blasted the Klein's on the internet.

What Klein wants to make clear is that he and his wife do not hate homosexuals.
"They can buy my stuff," said Klein.  "I'll sell them stuff ... I'll talk to them, it's fine."
What is not fine, according to Klein, is a marriage between people of the same sex.  He will always stand by that conviction.

"I'd rather have my kids see their dad stand up for what he believes in then to see him bow down because one person complained."
ORS 659A.403 is the law in question.  In short, it prohibits discrimination in places of public accommodation.  Klein and his wife have two weeks to respond to the Oregon Department of Justice's inquiry into what happened.
