NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Helicopters circling overhead, Kenya’s military launched a major operation Sunday at an upscale Nairobi mall and said it had rescued “most” of the hostages being held captive by al-Qaida-linked militants during a two-day standoff that killed at least 68 people and injured 175.

The military assault began shortly before sundown, with one helicopter skimming very close to the roof of the shopping complex as a loud explosion rang out, far larger than any previous grenade blast or gunfire volley.   Continue reading “Kenyan forces say they rescued ‘most’ hostages”

painkillers heroin cocaine deaths 263x168 CDC: Painkillers Kill Four Times More than Cocaine and Heroin Combined

Natural Society – by Anthony Gucciardi

A powerful report spanning 10 years from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has revealed that painkillers are actually responsible for a whopping four times as many deaths as both heroin and cocaine combined.

The admission coincides with the initial report I told you about back in 2011, in which it was exposed that painkillers were killing around 15,000 per year back in 2008 (still more than cocaine and heroin combined). But now, we’re not just looking at a single year of data. Instead, we’re looking through an entire decade of statistics that paint a picture of just how deadly our ‘legal’ drug industry is — and it turns out it’s even more deadly than the illegal  drug trade.   Continue reading “CDC: Painkillers Kill Four Times More than Cocaine and Heroin Combined”

OTSU – Radioactive cesium has been found on an estimated 200 to 300 tons of wood chips that were left months ago near Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture, prefectural officials said.

Samples of the chips show a reading of up to 3,000 becquerels per kilogram, the officials said Tuesday. The readings are below 8,000 becquerels, the threshold requiring special measures such as keeping the contaminated material from coming into contact with water, but exceed 100 becquerels, the maximum allowed for reuse.   Continue reading “Tons of cesium-tainted wood chips found near Japan’s biggest lake”

Ted Porter slips on the ice, lands on his rear and goes flying across the high Montana glacier on his back.

That’s how his story begins. Or maybe it starts before, when he failed to put ice-digging crampons on his boots.

Or does it really begin years earlier when Ted, growing up a Kansas City kid, decided he would rather climb mountains than play tennis?   Continue reading “KC native’s will to live defeats a Montana glacier”

The man who landed his airplane on Lake Shore Drive early Sunday morning peered past rows of police cars, gaping drivers and news trucks, searching for his fiancee’s red SUV while giving her directions.

“You can’t miss it,” said the soft-spoken pilot into his cellphone.

Indeed, the sight of an airplane parked on a strip of grass by Buckingham Fountain caused quite the spectacle Sunday morning. Police officers posed for photos, drivers slowed for a closer look, and joggers and bikers on the lakeshore path traded witty one-liners.   Continue reading “Airplane finds surprising landing strip: Lake Shore Drive”

And it is not funny.

There are two sides of the coin of crony capitalism. One side is bad economic policies that enrich the few connected to government while leaving behind the general public, the middle class, and the poor. The other side of the same coin is a closely related collapse in morality throughout our society. Hard work and honesty are out; knowing the right people and lying are in.   Continue reading “There Nancy Pelosi Goes Again”

A Palestinian worker working for an Israeli contractor, without work permit, was seriously injured at a renovation site in Tel Aviv, and instead for calling for professional medical help, the Israeli contractor dragged him onto the ground and left him to die on the sidewalk.

Israeli daily, Haaretz, has reported that the Palestinian man, identified as Ehsan Abu Srour, 54, from the Askar refugee camp, in the northern West Bank city of Nablus, suffered serious injuries and was abandoned by the contractor, who did not even try to resuscitate him or call for help.   Continue reading “Israeli Contractor Leaves Injured Palestinian Worker to die”
