A Tennessee judge has ordered a baby boy’s name to be changed from
“Messiah” after deciding it is a title that has “only been earned by one person and that one person is Jesus Christ.”
"When Hostess, baker of Twinkies, filed for bankruptcy and ceased
operations in November, Twinkies were no more. Then, a private equity
firm bought the business for $410 million and planned to resume production in 'The Sweetest Comeback in the History of Ever.' Now, an article in the Pittsburg Post-Gazette
reports that they're still hard to get, since an unprecedented demand
has caused orders to exceed production capacity 'by a significant
amount.'"

"Armchair sports lovers are at the mercy of TV directors who chose
what camera angle is shown when. Most sports fans will have been
frustrated with their shot selection at one time or another, but a new
panoramic camera would put such decisions in the viewer's hands.
Comprising ten individual cameras, the OmniCam 360 provides a full 360-degree of the action."
"It seems that Microsoft is relying even more on the opportunities
provided by the cloud technology. The Redmond behemoth is preparing to
come up with a cloud operating system that is specially meant for government purposes.
Government agencies already use two of Microsoft's basic cloud
products: Windows Azure and Windows Server. But now it seems that
Microsoft is working on a modified version of its somewhat new Cloud OS
that could bear the name "Fairfax", Compared to Windows Azure, "Fairfax"
cloud operating system would provide
enhanced security, relying on physical servers on site at government
locations. Given the fact that CEO Steve Ballmer is striving to make
Microsoft much more than a powerful software giant, such a project makes
sense, especially because it would help in their lobby activities."

The 16 reports were released by the Department of Defense in response
to declassification request submitted five years ago. Although the
sensitive bits were removed, the remaining portions of the reports
demonstrate the prevalence of research, development and deployment of
bio weapons worldwide, despite an international treaty prohibiting such
activity. The same website has also published a Thesaurus of Biological Warfare terminology (PDF) and a listing of pre-1946 reports on biological and chemical warfare (PDF) from the Army."

"Bruce Schneier writes in The Atlantic: 'Bluntly: The government has commandeered the Internet.
Most of the largest Internet companies provide information to the NSA,
betraying their users. Some, as we've learned, fight and lose. Others
cooperate, either out of patriotism or because they believe it's easier
that way. I have one message to the executives of those companies:
fight.'"

George Orwell’s Letter On Why He Wrote ‘1984’

We have a family member who is a Paramedic. He has told us that when they arrive at the scene of an emergency they are to stall and make a show of unloading equipment and putting on of rubber gloves etc, until the fire department personnel arrive on the scene and then step aside and let them handle the situation. They are never to use their Paramedical skills on anyone. This is why...
