The Seattle Longitudinal Study, which followed 6,000 people for 54 years, testing them every 7 years has found that, on average, participants performed better on cognitive tests in their late 40s and 50s than they had in their 20s. The older people did better on tests of vocabulary, imagining, problem-solving, language and on job-related studies they out-perform younger ones. The good news is that we keep our long-term memory with age.

A new studies have found that:
-human brain hits its peak between age 40 and 60;
-amount of myelin, fatty substance insulating brain’s cells and accelerating signals between them, increases well into middle age, boosting our brainpower;
-rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we retain them;
-brain even generate new brain cells well into middle age;
American scientists scanned the brains of 70 men aged 19 to 76, and found that in two crucial areas, the amount of myelin peaked at the age of 50, and in some

New Deli Jul 23, 2010, Reuters
India has come up with the world’s cheapest “laptop” a touch-screen computing device that costs $35.

India’s Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal this week unveiled the low-cost computing device that is designed for students, saying his department had started talks with global manufacturers to start mass production.

“We have reached a (developmental) stage that today, the motherboard, its chip, the processing, connectivity, all of them cumulatively cost around $35, including memory, display, everything,” he told a news conference.

He said the touchscreen gadget was packed with Internet browsers, PDF reader and video conferencing facilities but its hardware was created with sufficient flexibility to incorporate new components according to user requirement.

Sibal said the Linux based computing device was expected to be introduced to higher education institutions from 2011 but the aim was to drop the price further to $20 and ultimately to $10.

When I feel depressed or my kinds, friends’ mood swings down I use my old psychological mantra. I try to compare our life, health and being with some people’s life, suffering and fighting to survive. So far these examples were quite supportive for me, my kids, friends and kept us afloat. When I see a young smiling girl in a wheelchair nicely talking to her mom I always pray for her. She is young, never been married and may be never had boyfriend. No doubts, she’s been through a lot of suffering and pain, but she was able to find her happiness in the present horrible conditions.

The great examples of good people around us fighting different kind of horrible life’s events, like disability, hard or even lethal illnesses, loss of close ones always work for myself, but it’s started to loose effect on my kids after they grown up.

But our life is always brings us something new examples, quite teaching, sometimes horrible and astonishing, which make us appreciate the world we live. How we could be unhappy with our present life and being if we will compare it to the place where 2 million people live now surrounded by “remote-controlled machine-guns mounted on watch-towers every few hundred meters along an electronic fence” and “female soldiers, located far away in an operations room, are responsible for aiming and firing” them.

“Attack Timeline: How Gaza Freedom Flotilla was raided by Israeli commandos” by RT

Organizers of the Freedom Flotilla say it was carrying 700 activists, including the 1976 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Mairead Corrigan-Maguire of Northern Irelandand and 10,000 tonnes of humanitarian aid with the aim of breaking the Israeli siege of Gaza.

Israeli naval commandos conducted a deadly raid on a flotilla of aid ships bound for Gaza on Monday, earning widespread condemnation and setting off a diplomatic crisis for the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Avital Leibovich, an Israeli military spokeswoman, confirmed that the attack took place in international waters, saying: “This happened in waters outside of Israeli territory, but we have the right to defend ourselves.”

“Bring Back the Bad Guys”
by Commander Jeff Huber, U.S. Navy (retired), The American Coservative, US

Conquerors immemorial have known that the secret to successful occupations is to let the guys who surrender stay in charge of the yokels. We are presently bogged down in two quagmires because we haven’t learned that lesson.

Iraq’s government and security forces are incompetent and corrupt, the Kurdish situation remains unresolved, and nobody seems confident that the country will ever be able to function as an independent state again. Oh, for the good old days under Saddam Hussein! Whatever you want to say about the son of a sand dune, he didn’t need a field manual to figure out how to run his country. Neither did Mohammed Omar’s Taliban need a book on how to run Afghanistan. They have lived in the neighborhood for a very long time.

Decapitating regimes through military force is the most foolhardy of foreign-policy acts. The Prussians discovered this the hard way in the Franco- Prussian War. They defeated the French Army at Sedan and took Napoleon III prisoner along with 140,000 of his soldiers. But the war dragged on for months because the French formed a new government and a new army and kept fighting.

They didn’t like the idea of Germans occupying their country. Imagine that.

Few military victories have been more stunning than the fall of Baghdad during Operation Iraqi Freedom, but the fighting continues almost seven years later. We supposedly ousted the Taliban from Afghanistan eight years ago, and we’re still trying to oust them. We’d be better off by far if we had never invaded either but worked instead with the power structures already in place. As Tip O’Neill said, “All politics is local.”

Vladimir Putin-"Don’t count on that !”

Answered Vladimir Putin when he was asked about his plans to leave political life and enjoy family and retirement.

When Putin was asked about George Bush, he answered: “We had good relationship. Good comrade George". December 3, 2009.

From transcript:

Maria Sittel:
“Do you ever want to quit politics with all its problems and to live for yourself,
for your children and family, and relax? If the answer is ‘yes,’
then I could be your back-up man. Just call me. Linar, from Krasnodar.”

Vladimir Putin:
“Don’t hold your breath.
But if you want to work, then we will examine your request separately and will offer applicants, you included, a worthy job for realising your potential.”

Maria Sittel:
“Mr Putin, are state-owned corporations good or bad?”

Vladimir Putin:
“They are neither good nor bad. They are a necessity.”
Ernest Mackevicius:
“Mr Putin, there are very many questions arriving about our entry in the World Trade Organisation..”
Vladimir Putin:
“..Now, concerning the WTO. Our entry remains our strategic objective, but our impression is that for some unknown motives certain countries,
including the United States, are hindering our accession to the WTO.
For us, our main priority is still integration across the post-Soviet space, and we are very pleased
with the processes going on in the Customs Union, which I mentioned before, and which has been formed by Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus…”

Numbers and facts about UK and USA health systems today:

UK spends less per head on healthcare but has a higher life expectancy than the US.

The World Health Organisation ranks Britain’s healthcare as 18th in the world, while the US is in 37th place.

The British Medical Association said a majority of Britain’s doctors have consistently supported public provision of healthcare.

A spokeswoman said the association’s 140,000 members were sceptical about the US approach to medicine: “Doctors and the public here are appalled that there are so many people on the US who don’t have proper access to healthcare. It’s something we would find very, very shocking.”

Owning Up to Israel’s Bomb
by Shlomo Ben-Ami
Shlomo Ben Ami, a former Israeli foreign minister, now serves as vice-president of the Toledo International Centre for Peace. He is the author of Scars of War, Wounds of Peace: The Israeli-Arab Tragedy.


TEL AVIV – President Barack Obama’s vision of a world without nuclear weapons, and the recent agreement he signed with Russia aimed at cutting back the nuclear stockpiles of both countries, enhances his moral and political leadership. But how will his campaign against nuclear proliferation affect Israel, widely seen as the world’s sixth nuclear weapon state, and so far the only one in the Middle East?

US Assistant Secretary of State Rose Gottemoeller’s recent call for Israel to join the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which would require it to declare and relinquish its nuclear arsenal, has incited fears that America’s diplomatic umbrella for Israel’s nuclear status is ending. From now on, it appeared to Israelis, the US will treat all states the same when it comes to nuclear weapons. Israel is especially concerned that Obama might be willing to address Iran’s nuclear ambition by equating it with Israel’s nuclear status.

The intellectual foundations of the new American attitude were laid down in a famous article by Henry Kissinger, Sam Nunn, George Schultz, and William Perry entitled “Toward a Nuclear-Free World.” In calling upon the world’s nuclear powers to preach by example and dramatically reduce their nuclear arsenals, the article was also a call for equality among nations in the nuclear domain.

Bruce Riedel, who until recently headed the Obama administration’s strategy review for Afghanistan and Pakistan, and who is by no means hostile to America’s unique relations with Israel, has been explicit about this. “If you are really serious about a deal with Iran, Israel has to come out of the closet. A policy based on fiction and double standards is bound to fail sooner or later. What is remarkable is that it has lasted so long.”

But it was a recent statement to Congress by Secretary of Defense Robert Gates that was especially shocking to Israelis. He expressed understanding for Iran’s desire to acquire nuclear weapons because, as he said, the Iranians are surrounded by nuclear powers such as Pakistan, India, Russia, and Israel.

Israel is bound to fight against this emerging new American doctrine that equates… Read full article

Russia parries US thrust in Central AsiaBy M K Bhadrakumar

The Uzbeks explain the ingenuity of their mind by often repeating a saying that goes: when they speak, they seldom mean what they say; and when they act, they almost always disregard what they have in mind.

To be sure, it is hazardous to attempt a definitive interpretation of what the Uzbek Foreign Ministry in Tashkent meant on Monday when it alleged that the “implementation of such projects” as a Russian decision to set up a second military base in Kyrgyzstan could “reinforce militarization processes” as well as “seriously
destabilize the situation in the vast region", apart from “provoking various kinds of nationalist struggles".

Was it genuine concern, a veiled threat or mere rhetoric? Earlier on Saturday, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and his Kyrgyz counterpart Kurmanbek Bakiyev signed a memorandum on Russia’s military presence in Kyrgyzstan. Kyrgyzstan already hosts a Russian airbase in Kant and four other Russian military facilities. An estimated 400 Russian military personnel from Russia’s 5th Air Army are located at the base as well as Su-25 Frogfoot strike aircraft and Mi-8 transport aircraft.

CSTO at a crossroads
The memorandum signed in Bishkek envisages that Kyrgyzstan will host an additional Russian contingent up to a battalion size and a training center for both countries’ service personnel. Moscow originally offered to deploy a battalion-sized unit as part of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) in Kyrgyzstan’s Batken region in the south.

Bare-chested Vladimir Putin strikes a macho pose, by TimesOnline, UK. Watch video with Vladimir Putin

Vladimir Putin has buffed up his action-man image and raised the pin-up stakes among world leaders by posing barechested for another set of holiday pictures.
Photographs were published yesterday showing the Russian Prime Minister stripped to the waist riding a horse through rugged terrain during a brief holiday in the Siberian region of Tuva. Wearing only green fatigues, his eyes hidden behind reflective sunglasses, Mr Putin also showed his gentler side as he fed the horse from his hand after the ride.

Mr Putin, who will be 57 in October, showed off a set of rippling arm muscles as he demonstrated his butterfly swimming stroke. The photos will inevitably trigger mass swooning by women all over Russia — as well as unfavourable comparisons of their husbands to Mr Putin’s manly physique. They will also confirm the Russian Prime Minister’s status as a gay icon.

Mr Putin camped overnight and went whitewater rafting down the region’s fast-flowing rivers, according to Russian news agencies. Other pictures show him walking through fields with a hat similar to that worn by Indiana Jones, the Hollywood adventurer.

Fear of a Weak Russia
If Moscow’s failures continue, the world may soon become a much more dangerous place.
by D. Bandlerm, J.Kulhanek, August 5, 2009

“The reaction from the American defense establishment to news that Russian submarines have been operating off the U.S. coast has been fairly nonchalant, bordering on smug…”

Russia’s weakness – military, political, and economic – is fast becoming conventional wisdom in Washington. In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden even suggested that a weakened Russia might work to the advantage of the United States… Whether he was speaking for President Barack Obama or not, Biden also sent an unequivocal signal to the Kremlin that it should not take any “reset” for granted and that the White House will not be intimidated by Russian aggression.

But before the new administration gets too comfortable, it’s worth examining whether a weakened Russia is really in anyone’s interest. In fact, an unstable Russia might prove far more dangerous. For the sake of argument, we present the following not-so-unlikely scenario in which Russia undergoes a series of political and economic upheavals. Consider it less a prediction than a worst-case course of events for how Russian weakness could mean trouble.

“Approval Ratings in Ukraine, Russia Highlight Differences". Gallup Poll.
Worldwide low 4% of Ukrainians approve of their country’s leadershipby
Julie Ray and Neli Esipova

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Eighty-five percent of Ukrainians in May told Gallup they disapprove of the job performance of their country’s leadership, up from 75% in 2008 and 73% in 2007. The 4% of Ukrainians who approve is not only the lowest rating Gallup has ever measured in former Soviet countries, but also the lowest in the world.

Yushchenko’s 7% approval rating is less than half of the 17% he garnered in 2008. (Gallup did not ask Ukrainians to rate Tymoshenko in 2008.) The prime minister’s current 20% approval is nearly three times higher than the president’s rating, which could be relevant to their chances when they run against each other in Ukraine’s presidential election in five months. Analysts suggest that low approval could give outside candidates an advantage in January

Russians’ approval ratings of their prime minister and president again contrast the situation in Ukraine – one acrimonious and the other a “tandem.” More than two-thirds of Russians approve of President Dmitry Medvedev (68%) and more than three in four approve of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin (77%).

Experimenting with countries’ stem cells in Europe: Kosovo and Abkhazia.

The practical definition of a stem cell is the functional definition - a cell that has the potential to regenerate tissue over a lifetime.(Wikipedia).

Will stem cells taken from Yugoslavia and Georgia regenerate tissue for functional and stable state’s bodies to establish independent and democratic countries in Kosovo and Abkhazia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and South Ossetia ?

Can they grow, mature and live happily through century to prove their creation in accordance to God’s plans? Or as entities not blessed by God some of them will be compromised by killing of innocent people, brutal and unjust actions and wars and will finish their bloody and tragic lives, dissolved and flushed to the sevage system of history.

Find out more about these patients of two European states genetic engineering centers in two Spiegel, Germany recent reports.

First reports by Spiegel online magazine, Germany:
Europe Has No Exit Strategy in the Balkans. Full article. Spiegel, Germany

suggest that the first state’s stem cells experiment is quiete expensive, with many costly side effects, without any timetable for two patients full recovery and no check out date from EU and USA research center: “…The Balkan states of Kosovo and Bosnia-Herzegovina are artificial constructs that are dependent on international organizations to function. Unlike in Iraq, there is no end in sight for this foreign rule and Europe seems to have little in the way of an exit strategy. Since 1999, the United Nations has sent 70,663 employees to Kosovo, at a cost of €2.5 billion ($3.5 billion).



Both Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo are dominated by a greedy, irresponsible elite that only too often crosses the line into organized crime, as anyone who asks around in the region is likely to hear. When a prime minister in Sarajevo died unexpectedly a few years ago, it was discovered that he had €20 million ($28 million) in his bank accounts – despite a monthly salary of just €1,000 ($1,400). It consists of two so-called entities: the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, for the Bosnian Muslims and the primarily Catholic Croats, and the so-called Republika Srpska, for the Orthodox Serbs. Altogether this small, ethnically divided country has three presidents, 14 parliaments and 180 ministers…”

The next Spiege online magazine report about Abkhazia
‘We Won’t Beg for Diplomatic Recognition’ doesn’t provide many details about country, but without doubts it will be quite expensive experiment for Russia too.

Once a popular holiday getaway for the communist elite, tiny Abkhazia is now a de-facto republic at odds with most of the world. President Sergei Bagapsh spoke with SPIEGEL ONLINE about his nation’s plans, friends and foes – and prime real estate.

World recession has bottomed out and just started digging.
All bad news from the retailing front in Japan

While the government is trying to put up a brave front by insisting that the recession has bottomed out—and is offering eco point incentives to encourage people to replace their TVs, home appliances and cars—consumers aren’t taking the bait.
Just how bad have business conditions become?

An executive at a Tokyo department store says the number of shoppers is unchanged over the past several years. “But there’s a big difference in their spending patterns,” he notes. “I don’t see any sign of a sales recovery. For example, last year the average outlay for ‘ochugen’ summer gifts was 3,000 yen. This year it’s in the 2,000-yen range.”
Tokyo’s luxury-class hotels, with occupancy rates hovering around the halfway point at the average, are offering special discounts on overnight package deals.

“Designer brand firms like Armani and Bvlgari have opened high-class restaurants in Ginza, but their situation right how is awful,” says Minoru Murakami, director of a trade publication. “When I visited them on a weeknight, there were only one or two couples in the whole place. The atmosphere was bleak; the diners were watched constantly by ‘attentive’ staff, which ruined the ambiance.”

Like department stores, it appears, the shops dealing in pricey designer brands find that their stores still attract plenty of browsers, but few buyers. Sales this year are projected to fall below the 1 trillion yen mark, roughly one-half the all-time peak in 1996.

The boss of a chain of sex shops in Nagoya says demand is down by 30 to 40% from last year. “Before, customers who went drinking at an ‘izakaya’ or cabaret club would drop in to one of our ‘health’ (massage parlors) afterwards,” he sighs. “Now some girls only minister to a single customer a day. They’ve been leaving us, one by one.”

Seven Questions: Jay Garner, by Foreign Policy, USA


The man who first led reconstruction efforts in Iraq says that Arab-Kurd tensions are overblown and that “soft partition” would have been a good idea.

Jay Garner knows Iraqi Kurdistan. First appointed to the region following the Gulf War, the retired U.S. lieutenant general has returned to the region countless times – most famously when he was pulled out of retirement to lead U.S. reconstruction efforts in Iraq after the 2003 invasion. He was quickly succeeded in an expanded version of that role by L. Paul Bremer, but has since remained an active commentator on the region and the U.S. strategy there.

Speaking from Iraqi Kurdistan by phone, Garner discussed recently reported tensions between Kurdish leaders and the Iraqi government with Foreign Policy’s Elizabeth Dickinson. As U.S. forces begin their long pullout from the country, Garner warned that Sunni-Shiite relations are far more fragile than those between Arabs and Kurds, that there are no stirrings of independence in the north, and that former U.S. senator and sitting Vice President Joseph Biden’s call for what many described as a “soft partition” of Iraq would have served the country well.

Why one of the world’s most bankable athletes is competing for an autocratic former Soviet republic.

“As Lance Armstrong enters the second week of the Tour de France, questions abound. Why did he come back from retirement? Will his much-discussed rivalry with teammate Alberto Contador cost both of them the race? And even in such a commercialized sport, why is an iconic American athlete – a Texan, no less! – racing for … Kazakhstan?…”

No doubts, Borat-played by British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen knows the answer!

His controversial movie “Borat: Cultural Learnings Of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation Of Kazakhstan” angered Kazakhs and produce quite right prediction form Kazakhstan government: “What we hope is for the movie to draw a greater interest to the real Kazakhstan, which has a lot of things that the Americans may benefit from knowing them,” a Kazakh Embassy official said.

License to Kill- Foreign Policy Magazine
When I advised the Israel Defense Forces, here’s how we decided if targeted kills were legal – or not. By Amos N. Guiora is professor of Law at the SJ Quinney College of Law at the University of Utah; he served for 19 years in the Israel Defense Forces, Judge Advocate General’s Corps.



Washington is abuzz over a recent report in the Wall Street Journal saying that former U.S. President George W. Bush had authorized the “capture or kill al Qaeda operatives,” and that “the CIA also examined the subject of targeted assassinations of al Qaeda leaders,” though it’s not clear if the two initiatives are related.

More… The revelations are sure to set off a renewed debate in the United States over the legality, utility, and morality of killing terrorists. I know a few things about this topic, because between 1994 and 1997, I advised Israel Defense Forces’ (IDF) commanders regarding targeted killings as the IDF legal advisor to the commander of the Gaza Strip. To be clear: the decision to strike was the commander’s. As the legal advisor, I provided just that: legal advice.

So, here’s my legal advice for the United States as the Washington debate heats up: Counterterrorism, in civil democratic regimes, must be rooted in the rule of law, morality in armed conflict, and an analysis of policy effectiveness. There can be no “ifs, ands, or buts.”

‘My great-grandmother was in a Mexican village and they found a woman in the street inconsolably crying and the baby was also crying, crying, crying.
‘My great-grandmother went up to her and said “What is the matter?” and the mother said, “She is very, very hungry and I have no more milk".
“And in the street my great-grandmother took the baby and breastfed that baby who instantly stopped crying and went peacefully to sleep.”

Hayek has been vocal about the pleasures of breastfeeding her daughter. Breastfeeding is a healthy way to feed …”

When I was reading today Guardian’s article about Iranian first own satellite one sentence in this article about Iranian history and the present time astonished me. TV news and newspapers daily informed me about Iranian intention to get a nuclear bomb ASAP and immediately destroy entire world. They created image of Iran as a pretty aggressive country, which was making wars after wars and is quite ready to start a new one.

This is the sentence:
“…In Iran’s history, in the last 100 years, you cannot point to aggression by Iran against any nation. …” Iran’s foreign minister Manouchehr Mottaki, speaking at the African Union summit in Addis Ababa. Wow! Is it true ?!

WASHINGTON — President Obama fired a warning shot at Wall Street on Thursday, branding bankers “shameful” for giving themselves $18.4 billion in bonuses as the economy was spinning out of control and the government was spending billions to bail out many of the nation’s most prominent financial firms.

Speaking from the Oval Office with Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner by his side, Mr. Obama lashed out at the industry over a report, compiled by the New York State comptroller, Thomas P. DiNapoli, which found that over all, financial executives received the same level of bonuses as they had in 2004, when times were more flush.

“That is the height of irresponsibility,” Mr. Obama said angrily. “It is shameful, and part of what we’re going to need is for folks on Wall Street who are asking for help to show some restraint and show some discipline and show some sense of responsibility.

“The American people understand that we’ve got a big hole that we’ve got to dig ourselves out of, but they don’t like the idea that people are digging a bigger hole even as they’re being asked to fill it up,” Mr. Obama said, adding that “there will be time for them to make profits and there will be time for them to make bonuses. Now is not that time.”

Two communist countries China and Cuba have quite different reaction on President Obama inauguration speech. If in China President Obama’s speech was censored, in Cuba it was well understood and positively commented even by the hard and tough communist leader Castro.

Fidel’s Castro comments on 01.22.09 about Borack Obama as the President of United States:

“…No one could doubt the sincerity of his words as he stated that he would turn his country into a model of freedom and respect for human rights in the world and for the independence of other peoples…”

“… He has comfortably stated that imprisonment and torture at the illegal Guatanamo Base would cease right away…”

“…The smart and noble looks of the first African-American President of the United States from its foundation as an independent republic, two and one third of a century ago, had changed under the inspiration of Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King to become the living symbol of the American dream…”

China censored its translation of President Barack Obama’s inauguration speech, removing references to communism and dissent, and quickly halted state television’s live broadcast of the address when Cold War-era animosities were mentioned.

One television official tried to play down the cutaway as a normal break in programming while an editor with the China Daily newspaper’s Web site said staff who censored online versions of the speech likely did so because they were “duty-bound to protect the country’s interests.”

The news channel of state broadcaster China Central Television broadcast the speech live early Wednesday local time, but appeared caught off-guard by Obama’s reference to how earlier generations of Americans had “faced down fascism and communism.”

The audio quickly faded out from Obama’s speech and cameras cut back to the studio anchor, who seemed flustered for a second before turning to ask a U.S.-based CCTV reporter what challenges the president faces in turning around the economy.

In the Gaza Strip people are returning home – or to the rubble that was once their home. Many are blaming Hamas for the destruction because the militants hid among civilians and attracted Israeli fire. Yet no one dares to speak out openly.

What is left over when a person is hit by a tank shell. Blood, tissue, bone splinters, splatters on the wall.

And anger.

Mohammed Sadala’s rage is aimed at the man, whose remains he found in his bedroom: a Hamas fighter.

The Swedes, who pulled off a rapid recovery from their own banking crisis in the early 1990s, have a simple message for their American colleagues: Bite the bullet on nationalization.

Former Swedish officials, many of them from the more conservative, market-oriented side of the political spectrum there, say the only way to avoid that conundrum is for the U.S. government to be prepared to take full ownership - temporarily - of some big banks that once defined excellence in global finance.

Sweden did just that, carving off all the banking industry’s troubled assets into a so-called bad bank, where they could be sold off over time. With the banks effectively bankrupt, the government wiped out existing shareholders, but then instead of shutting the banks down it used the taxpayers’ funds to provide enough capital to allow the banks to resume normal lending.

Is the Fed running out of firepower? Or, to rephrase the question, is it possible that the central bank of the world’s biggest economy is becoming overstretched and overwhelmed by the costs of the crisis? If so, does that mean the United States could go bankrupt?

The question is becoming urgent, because Tuesday the Fed cut the federal funds rate from an extraordinarily low 1 percent to an unprecedented 0.25 percent, with a prospect of going down to zero.

But even such unheard-of steps might not, on recent experience, revive the animal spirits of entrepreneurs and get bankers lending again. Fear still rules the markets.

Did you know that popular nutritional supplement Ginkgo Biloba in combination with Aspirin are potential cause of bleeding? Yes, it is! According to Reuters’ article “Dangerous drug combos pose risk for elderly” 12.24.08 by Julie Steenhuysen it’s true.

“…Older adults in the United States are popping prescription pills, over-the-counter drugs and dietary supplements in record numbers, and in combinations that could be deadly, U.S. researchers said on Tuesday…”

“…Half of U.S. adults aged 57 to 85 are using five or more prescription or non-prescription drugs, and one in 25 are taking them in combinations that could cause dangerous drug interactions.

Estimated that U.S. adults over 65 make up more than 175,000 emergency department visits a year for adverse drug reactions, and commonly prescribed drugs accounted for a third of these visits.

Among non-prescription drugs, they found many people were taking the popular nutritional supplement Ginkgo Biloba in combination with Aspirin, another potential cause of bleeding…”

“…For the true anti-Semite, Christmas came early this year. The anti-Semite’s new Santa is Bernard Madoff.
The former chairman of Nasdaq turns out, also, to be treasurer of the board of trustees at Yeshiva University and chairman of the university’s business school.

Rich beyond human comprehension, he handles fortunes for others, buying and selling in a trading empire that skirts investment banks and other possible sources of regulation.

Even better, for those obsessed with the idea that Jews control finance, entertainment and the media,is the idea that Madoff’s greed was uncontrollable enough that he targeted fellow Jews, some of them his own friends, as well as Israeli companies. Among them Stephen Spielberg, Elie Wiesel, and billionaire real-estate tycoon, media mogul, commentator and former chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations Mort Zuckerman. A senior U.S. senator is one of his
client-marks, as well as present and past owners of professional football and baseball teams. Members of exclusive N.Y. synagogue lose collective $2 billion in Madoff scam.

“The scandal rippled far beyond the multimillion-dollar private foundation run by Madoff that channeled money into hospitals and theaters,” Reuters reported, “and swept up charities large and small, directly and indirectly, along with wealthy Jewish investors Madoff personally advised.”

Adding the element of clannishness, The New York Post was more direct.

“Working the so-called “Jewish circuit” of well-heeled Jews he met at country clubs on Long Island and in Palm Beach, and through his position on the boards of directors of several prominent Jewish institutions, he was entrusted with entire family fortunes.

“The guy was totally respected. He was a heymishe Jewish guy. He had sweet old ladies and he let their children in,” said a Manhattan lawyer who invested with Madoff.

“This guy was dealing with all the rich Jews in Roslyn and the rich Jews in Palm Beach. This was passed down from family member to family member because he wouldn’t open up to new people.”

It remains to be seen how far we’ve come from the days of the frank Jew-hate and genteel anti-Semitism of the likes of Henry Ford and F. Scott Fitzgerald. We can only hope that the Meyer Wolfsheim Effect remains dormant, the Great Gatsby heritage of “the man who fixed the 1919 World Series.”

” … If I had thought of it at all, I would have thought of it as a thing that merely happened, the end of some inevitable chain,” Fitzgerald’s narrator confides. “It never occurred to me that one man could start to play with the faith of fifty million people - with the single-mindedness of a burglar blowing a safe.”

In the meanwhile, Bernard Madoff, you’ve made the days of uncounted devout Jew-haters. This year, all they want for Christmas, is you…”

The house of cards created by Madoff in early 1980 as his Ponzi style hedge fund company, which suppose to worth $50 billions collapsed on December 11, 2008 when FBI arrested him. Under a Ponzi scheme, which is similar to pyramid schemes, investors are promised very high returns on their investment, while in reality early investors are paid with money collected from later investors.

Madoff is almost legendary Wall Street fixture and his firm has played big role in the structure of Wall Street for decades in traditional and new electronic stock, equities and derivatives trading.

Madoff, former chairman of the Nasdaq was virtually an architect of the trading on the Street, and sat on several important boards of directors.

Madoff said that he had $200 million to $300 million left, out of what was supposed to be $17 billion under his hedge funds management company. Spain’s largest bank, Santander had $3.1bn invested in the Madoff’s firm run by Bernard Madoff, Fairfield Greenwich Group invested $7.3 billion, Kingate Management $2.8 billion, HSBC $1 billion, Ascot Partners, run by Jacob Ezra Merkin, GMAC’s chairman, most of its $1.8 billion in assets. Madoff’s case is likely to fuel uncertainty about the entire hedge fund industry and might be the largest fraud in Wall Street history.

Nuclear Armageddon?

“…Officially 11 nuclear bombs went missing, but it is estimated that 50 were lost…” Spiegel, Germany.

I believe that many of us had seen a nuclear war horror in our dreams. I’ve been seeing it for several years and some equipments, which I saw in my dreams, was created or opened to public couple of decades later. So I can suspect that a nuclear war can became reality sooner or later.

Whatever I’ve seen in my dream, reality of a nuclear weapon’s tests and reality of some nuclear bombs were missing is quite “promising".

By Tim Whewell

“The BBC has discovered evidence that Georgia may have committed war crimes in its attack on its breakaway region of South Ossetia in August.

Eyewitnesses have described how its tanks fired directly into an apartment block, and how civilians were shot at as they tried to escape the fighting.

Research by the international investigative organisation Human Rights Watch also points to indiscriminate use of force by the Georgian military, and the possible deliberate targeting of civilians.

Indiscriminate use of force is a violation of the Geneva Conventions, and serious violations are considered to be war crimes…” Read full story

“Georgia Claims on Russia War Called Into Question”
New York Times, 11.7.08
by C.J. Chivers, Ellen Barry,Olesya Vartanyan, Matt Siegel.

TBILISI, Georgia — Newly available accounts by independent military observers of the beginning of the war between Georgia and Russia this summer call into question the longstanding Georgian assertion that it was acting defensively against separatist and Russian aggression.
Georgia moved forces toward the border of the breakaway region of South Ossetia on Aug. 7, at the start of what it called a defensive war with separatists there and with Russian forces.

Instead, the accounts suggest that Georgia’s inexperienced military attacked the isolated separatist capital of Tskhinvali on Aug. 7 with indiscriminate artillery and rocket fire, exposing civilians, Russian peacekeepers and unarmed monitors to harm.

The accounts are neither fully conclusive nor broad enough to settle the many lingering disputes over blame in a war that hardened relations between the Kremlin and the West. But they raise questions about the accuracy and honesty of Georgia’s insistence that its shelling of Tskhinvali, the capital of the breakaway region of South Ossetia, was a precise operation. Georgia has variously defended the shelling as necessary to stop heavy Ossetian shelling of Georgian villages, bring order to the region or counter a Russian invasion.
