By SHAYA TAYEFE MOHAJER LOS ANGELES (AP) - A big share of the financial burden of raising Nadya Suleman's 14 children could fall on the shoulders of California's taxpayers, compounding the public furor in a state already billions of dollars in the red.
Even before the 33-year-old single, unemployed mother gave birth to octuplets last month, she had been caring for her six other children with the help of $490 a month in food stamps, plus Social Security disability payments for three of the youngsters....
Li Wei, who lives in Beijing, creates the images using mirrors, carefully hidden thin wires and his own acrobatic skills, honed from years of martial arts training. The pictures feature Wei suspended in a string of impossible situations at locations across Hong Kong and China.
"I am fascinated by the unstable and dangerous sides of art and I hope my works reflect these aspects," he says. "Sometimes I am...
WHITTLESEA, Australia — Suspicions that the worst wildfires ever to strike Australia were deliberately set led police to declare crime scenes Monday in towns incinerated by blazes, while investigators moving into the charred landscape discovered more bodies. The death toll stood at 130.
Officials believe arson may be behind at least some of the more than 400 fires that tore a destructive path across a...
NICOSIA (Reuters Life!) – Authorities in northern Cyprus believe they have found an ancient version of the Bible written in Syriac, a dialect of the native language of Jesus.
The manuscript was found in a police raid on suspected antiquity smugglers. Turkish Cypriot police testified in a court hearing they believe the manuscript could be about 2,000 years old.
The manuscript carries excerpts of the Bible written in gold lettering on vellum and loosely strung together, photos provided to Reuters showed. One page carries a drawing of a tree, and another eight lines of Syriac...
Here is such an interesting post I found in another forum:

THE ATTENTION GAME
As children we crave our parents attention and are hurt when they withdraw their attention. In this way they can play us by rewarding us with different types of attention (hugs, gifts, spending-time, love) when we do what they want us to do and punish us by withdrawing different types of attention when we dont do...
This is the most interesting thing I've read in a long time. The sad thing about it, you can see it coming.

This is another area where people have been asleep and not paying attention to how the government run schools have dumbed down a couple of generations to the point of them not being able to compete with their peers from other much poorer countries. Ron Paul was right about everything the federal government touches becoming much worse and costing much more than it did before they intervened, and now they want to take over healthcare.
The New Orleans Police Department, along with 150 active duty U.S. troops, are currently engaging in what they describe as “military training” as black helicopters whizz around the city dropping bombs in the latest example of Americans being incrementally conditioned to accept a state of de facto martial law. The training has been ongoing...
A new study in Canada suggests that the collapse of a large portion of the Antarctic ice shelf would shift the very axis of the planet.
Geophysicists at the University of Toronto looked at the possible effects on the earth if sea levels rise because of a collapse of the west Antarctic ice shelf.
The Toronto researchers say the melting of the ice sheet will actually cause the earth's rotation to shift dramatically...

A common goal in people's lives seems to be "to be a good person," but what makes a good person? The first requirement for being a good person is being a person. Perhaps this may sound self-evident, but I speak of being a person in the sense of being a real person. Once more, you may wonder what sort of tangent I've fallen into, but I would argue that many...
Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich tells "Good Morning America" he considered Oprah Winfrey to fill President Barack Obama's empty United States Senate seat.
Blagojevich says that Oprah "was obviously someone with a much broader bully pulpit than other senators."
The governor refrained from appointing the talk show host saying he feared it might seem gimmicky and Oprah would not accept the job.
Idealism: Happy Birthday. Capitalism: I shopped all day for your birthday. Atheism: I can't believe it's your birthday. Hinduism: Holy Cow! Is it your birthday? Taoism: It's everybody's birthday. Buddhism: If your birthday party was held in the forest and nobody came... would it make a sound? Existentialism: Your birthday means nothing to me. Sarcasm: You don't look half bad for someone twice your age.
This was mentioned on a TV (CTS) Program I viewed last evening. So I did a search and found these links.

It looks that this is somehow connected with the New World Order conspiracy and it involves two things: A technologically simulated "second coming" and the reemmrgence of new "MONTAUK" type projects that have the ability to take up a whole bunch of people as in a "rapture" type of situation and whisk the whole bunch into never-never land. Ironically, portions of the holographic projections have the potential for changing the planet into oneness with God. Unfortunately, this operates on the premise that Man shall somehow become God in human form and control other Men...

A few of us in the UP Team have been discussing an idea that was proposed by our good friend Ed (brotherbear): What kind of business we could all get involved in as a group ? Of course we would prefer it to be legitimate, no HYIP's but an honest way that all of us could benefit from. Not Amway or MLM either because the guy at the bottom never gets anything. Here is what Ed wrote:

More than 50 million jobs could be lost worldwide by the end of this year as a result of the global economic meltdown, the United Nations warned as world leaders gathered at Davos today.
The stunning estimate by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) came only hours after the opening of the World Economic Forum amid a deepening sense of gloom and helplessness among the global business elite.
The UN agency said that its worst-case scenario would see global employment soar from 6 per cent to 7.1 per cent, resulting in a loss of 51 million jobs across the globe since the...
