The Bilderberg Group is 120-140 powerful people who meet each year to discuss policy. The meetings are closed to the public.
This graph we found on Facebook shows the members' connections to a ton of corporations, charities, policy groups and media. Everyone from Eric Schmidt to George Soros is a member. There are tons of conspiracy theories about the group, including that they control the world economy.
We took the findings with a grain of salt–after all, it's easy to trace an individual to a corporation and the graph doesn't specify what influence the member wielded.
But perhaps it's a compelling argument for why the meetings should be public.

After its first season, the show was moved to its production to a studio facility the Osmond family had built in their hometown of Orem, Utah.
Going Solo
Despite their fame, both Donny and Marie remained devoted to their family and true to their Mormon faith. As their religion prohibits alcohol, coffee, tea, and premarital sex, the Osmonds were known to change the lyrics of songs rather than to compromise their beliefs. Following her parents' rules, Marie was not allowed to go on a date alone with a guy until she was 18. At the age of 18, she was already thinking ahead to marriage, telling People magazine: "I'm not in any rush, but by the time I'm 21 I'll probably want to get serious. Showbiz isn't for eternity. Marriage is."
By the end of 1970s, television audiences had tired of the squeaky clean brother-sister act and their renditions of older, more family-friendly songs. Disco and more urban style music was all the rage, making the Osmonds seem completely out of step with the times. The show—then known as The Osmond Family Hour—left the air in May 1979.
Her show may have been cancelled, but Osmond continued to have some success on television. She had her own limited-run variety show Marie from 1980 to 1981 and then made a series of television movies. In 1979, Osmond starred with James Woods and Timothy Bottoms in The Gift of Love. She went on to play her own mother Olive in 1982's Side By Side: The Story of the Osmond Family. In 1985, Osmond served as the co-host for Ripley's Believe It Or Not.
Reviving her country music career, Osmond scored several hits in the 1980s. She hit the top of the country charts twice in 1985 with "There's No Stopping Your Heart" and "Meet Me in Montana"—a duet with Dan Seals. The next year, her duet with Paul Davis, "You're Still New to Me," also reached the number one spot.
In her personal life, this was a time of transition. She had divorced her first husband, actor Stephen Craig, in 1985. The couple had one child together, a son named Stephen. In 1986, Osmond married music producer Brian Blosil. Osmond and Blosil would eventually have a family of eight children with her son Stephen, two children of their own, and four children they adopted together.
With some of her children, Osmond toured with a special Christmas show during the 1980s and 1990s. She spent a lot of time on the stage in musicals. Playing Maria, Osmond starred in 1994-1995 touring production of The Sound of Music. She made her Broadway debut in 1997 as Anna in The King and I. Reuniting with her brother Donny, Osmond co-hosted a syndicated daytime talk show in 1998, which lasted two seasons. That same year, Osmond and her husband announced that they were divorcing, but they later reconciled.
In 2001, Osmond received a lot of media attention for her candid memoir about her struggle with postpartum depression Behind the Smile. She shared the emotional and psychological difficulties she faced after the birth of her son Matthew.

We're not here to demonize any form of produce. After all, every veggie has at least some nutritional value -- and we all need to include more vegetables in our diets, not less!
But if you're wondering whether to use iceberg or romaine in your signature summer salad, you may want to check out our list of the veggies with the least nutritional value:
1. Celery: Sure, you can nosh on 8 inches of celery for only 6 calories, but are you really getting any nutrients in return? The answer: Yes, but you'd have to go beyond an 8-inch stalk, which provides a mere 1.6 percent of our daily requirement for calcium and 2 percent of our daily requirement for vitamin C. It does, however, boast a decent amount of fiber and vitamin K. A better alternative: Carrots, which are loaded with eye-protecting beta carotene. Toss them into salads for a low-calorie crunch; braise them as a sweet summer side dish or slice them thin and add them to your favorite stir-fry.

2. Cucumbers: The cucumber is another low-calorie veggie. One cup of sliced cucumber weighs in at only 16 calories. But it's slim on nutrients, too. In fact, cucumbers contain 5 percent or less of our daily requirement for potassium, manganese, magnesium and vitamin C. On the plus side, cucumber extracts (not the whole cucumber) do have a number of disease-fighting antioxidant compounds, like tannins and flavonoids, says Registered Dietitian and Chef Consultant Michelle Dudash. A better alternative: Purslane, a peppery herb that's high in heart-healthy alpha linolenic acid (a type of omega-3). It's also higher in beta carotene than spinach. Toss it in salads, fold it into omelets or use it as a crunchy green on sandwiches.

3. Iceberg Lettuce: Iceberg lettuce is one of the most commonly consumed vegetables in the U.S., along with potatoes (as French fries) and tomatoes, but that doesn't mean it's the healthiest option. While iceberg is low in calories and offers some vitamins and fiber, other dark leafy greens contain much more vitamin A and C. A better alternative: Romaine lettuce, which offers much more beta carotene than iceberg. Use romaine in a traditional wedge salad with blue cheese crumbles, diced tomatoes and balsamic vinaigrette, or layer it on turkey sandwiches.

Honduran abuses rampant after coup -rights groups

* Rights groups link at least 10 deaths to coup
* Serious injuries blamed on police violence
By Frank Jack Daniel
TEGUCIGALPA, Oct 12 (Reuters) - Suspicious deaths. Beatings. Random police shootings. Life under the de facto government of Honduras at times feels uncannily like Latin America's dark past of military rule.
In the three months since soldiers overthrew leftist President Manuel Zelaya and marched him out of the country in his pajamas, international and Honduran human rights groups say security forces have committed a litany of abuses.
They link at least 10 deaths to de facto rule under Roberto Micheletti, who was named president after the June 28 coup. The government admits three people have died in protests.
Amnesty International said in September that Honduras risks spiraling into a state of lawlessness where police and military act with no regard for rights.
Repression of protests against the coup increased after Zelaya slipped back into the country on Sept 21, took refuge in the Brazilian embassy and called his backers onto the streets.
Honduran human rights group Cofadeh said it had numerous reports of police firing guns in poor areas of Tegucigalpa.
Some shootings occurred during night-time curfews enforced by Micheletti.
Unemployed Angel Manuel Osorto broke the curfew to go out to borrow money for medical treatment for his pregnant wife and his 13-year-old son Angel David was hit in the lower back when a policeman fired a pistol from a motorbike.
"As we walked home a police patrol rode up shooting. One bullet hit him," said Osorto. "Thank God he is alive."
That same night a Zelaya supporter was shot dead. Five more were hospitalized with bullet wounds. "People are terrified to go out at night. I am scared of the authorities," said Osorto.
The curfew has been lifted in Honduras, but Micheletti has put in place an emergency decree allowing the army and police to break up protests. And they do so with gusto, firing gas at almost any small demonstration.
Tegucigalpa police chief Leandro Osorio denied abuses and said left-leaning rights groups are biased in favor of Zelaya.
"They will say there are lots of injured people in the hospital, but that's not true," he told Reuters.
Honduras did not suffer the same level of state-sponsored violence as South American nations under military regimes or neighbors Guatemala and El Salvador during Central America's civil wars in the 1980s. But veteran rights activist Bertha Oliva says in some ways things are worse now.
"Before, they hid the dead. Now they do it in public, challenging every principle of human rights," said Oliva, who formed human rights group Cofadeh when her husband, a left-wing activist, was abducted in 1982.
Two days after Zelaya's return, police fired tear gas into Cofadeh's office where about 150 people were gathered to report beatings by soldiers and police dispersing protesters from the streets of Tegucigalpa.
The Washington-based Inter-American Commission on Human Rights condemned the attack. It said there had also been some cases of violence against people and property by protesters.
"The human rights situation in Honduras has worsened substantially in the sense that the controls and repression of protests have risen exponentially," the commission's president Luz Patricia Mejia told Reuters.
One 22-year-old medical student who declined to be named says she and other members of her leftist, pro-Zelaya group have received threats by text message. One recent message read: "The best communist is a dead communist."
Last week, the student says masked, armed men tried to force her into a black car with dark windows. She escaped, but broke a ligament in her arm struggling to free herself from one of the men's grip.
"The idea was to torture me for information about my organization, I am sure of that," she said, her arm in a cast and dark rings around her eyes from the stress. (Writing by Frank Jack Daniel, editing by Anthony Boadle)

I have lived in my condo for 14 years. I have had much challenges of managing my paper, especially my mail.
I live with a roommate, so I try to respect the common areas, so I end up taking my paperwork—whether it's from work, church ministry or just personal financial and junk mail—into my bedroom to read, sort or file. I do have a long commute to and from work (1.5 hours each way). So it's good in a way that I can catch up on reading some of my paper stuff like magazines, newspapers, etc. However, it is a tiring commute, so I just don't bother recycling them after I finish reading and take them into my bedroom. I would appreciate any hints and helps. Thanks! — Ruth Ruth, it sounds to me that you have a busy life with a tough commute and a lot going on in your life. However, you need to commit to keeping your living space clutter-free and organized so that your home becomes a haven and a relaxing place for you rather than a place that stresses you out.
When it comes to the paperwork, you need first to establish a "mail zone" or mail center in your home where all the paperwork lives. At the moment, it's all over the place and has invaded your bedroom! On a desk or somewhere similar, set up a mail tray for paperwork that needs attention. Invest in a shredder to dispose of any paperwork that has sensitive personal information on it. This is where you have stamps, your checkbook and other items needed for bill paying. This is the zone where paperwork lives and nowhere else. Additionally, you give time to what you think is important. So, moving forward, you need to commit a regular time each day to dealing with paperwork—as that seems to be the main issue for you. Try committing just 10 or 15 minutes every day when you get home from work to dealing with mail and other paperwork. By establishing this routine, you'll then make organizing a part of your daily life. — Peter Advertisement

WASHINGTON - With Social Security reform already on his second-term agenda, President Bush on Friday assumed the equally thorny task of transforming the notoriously complicated tax code.

Two former U.S. senators, Republican Connie Mack of Florida and Democrat John Breaux of Louisiana, have agreed to serve as chairmen of a Bush-appointed nine-member panel responsible for exploring ways to simplify a tax system whose most recent overhaul came in 1986.

The announcement, issued from the Oval Office, sets into motion an effort to follow through on a pledge the president offered during his re-election campaign. The present system, Bush asserted throughout the contest with Democratic rival John Kerry, is a hindrance to America's economic aspirations.

"I believe this is an essential task for our country," Bush said in making the announcement. "It's a task that will treat our taxpayers more fairly. A simple code will make it easier on the taxpayers. But it's an important task in order to make sure the economic growth we are seeing in the United States continues forward."

Complying with the tax code, which runs hundreds of pages and is considered too complex for one person to master, costs more than $100 billion a year, according to some estimates. Bush said taxpayers spend "billions of hours filling out the forms."

While Democrats and Republicans alike have acknowledged for some time that the code requires retuning, lawmakers have not come close to an agreement over how to address the problem.

House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland agreed that tax reform is "long overdue" and criticized the administration, saying that the three tax cuts enacted during the president's first term "only made the tax code more complicated."

"Public confidence in the integrity of our tax system is critical, and we must act without delay," Hoyer said. "Democrats have every intention of fighting for our core principles on this issue - fairness, simplicity and responsibility. Tax reform must increase taxpayer fairness. The middle class must not be forced to bear a larger tax burden. The code must be made simple."

Treasury Secretary John Snow told reporters after the announcement that "everything's on the table," meaning the President's Panel on Federal Tax Reform will have the authority to propose elimination of popular provisions like deductions for home mortgages and charitable contributions.

It could also consider alternatives to the federal income tax, like the national sales tax championed by former House Republican leader Dick Armey of Texas.

The panel is scheduled to deliver its report to the Treasury Department by July 31. Bush said he is "firm in my desire to get something done" to see that the system "encourages economic vitality and growth."

Rush Hour Remedy
Prescription for unjamming traffic jams: A unique combination of technology and economics.
(Page 3 of 4)
Once the problem of congestion is seen in an economic light-at the times and places of greatest demand, roadway space is underpriced-the sensible solution, no matter how difficult to make popular, is obvious: put a price on peak-hour use of this scarce resource. With nearly every other resource we have found pricing to be an admirable way of smoothly parceling out goods and services among competing users. But with few exceptions decisionmakers remain oblivious to the merits of pricing as a way of reducing congestion.
And it's not as though no one has been trying to point them in that direction. The pricing approach has been recommended by economists for more than 20 years. William Vickrey of Columbia University, in a 1963 article in the American Economic Review, argued that "in no other major area are pricing practices so irrational, so out of date, and so conducive to waste as in urban transportation.'' Vickrey noted that private firms commonly charge different amounts for peak and off-peak services (examples: resort hotels, theaters, airlines), and that this principle could be applied to road- ways.
If potential drivers faced not just their own time-costs but prices reflecting the actual costs of their decisions, they would have an informed basis for deciding whether the benefits of a given trip warranted using a central expressway at rush hour. Some automobile trips would be rescheduled, others rerouted, and some forgone altogether as car users found that alternative transit modes were a better buy. And with concrete knowledge of the benefits of various services-evidenced, as in any other market, by what people are willing to pay for alternatives-decisionmakers could establish rational spending priorities for maintenance and new construction and, assuming mass transit were priced-in line with its costs, could guide future investments in alternative transit modes.
Since Vickrey took up the subject, roadway pricing has drawn keen interest from economists at Harvard, Chicago, UCLA, Stanford, and other academic centers. Writers in professional and scholarly publications like the Journal of Transport Economics and Policy have been debating the best means of implementing pricing for several years, having long since agreed on the necessity of such an approach. The Washington, D.C.-based Urban Institute has published nearly a score of studies, dating back to 1973, taking up various aspects of pricing as a solution to congestion.
Yet the steadily mounting theoretical support for roadway pricing has led to no significant applications in this country. This seems especially curious in view of the eagerness with which authorities have pumped billions of tax dollars into poorly conceived boondoggles like BART, which rested on little or no theoretical foundation.
In the few cases where pricing proposals have been put to transit bureaucracies, they have managed to squelch them through Catch-22 reasoning: congestion pricing is only an idle theory, they say, because it has never been applied; and it can never be applied, because it is only an idle theory. This argument not only relies on faulty logic; it conveniently ignores a conclusive demonstration of the utility of pricing in a city half-way around the globe.
Roadway pricing during the morning rush hour has been in effect in Singapore since 1975. A bustling metropolis of 2.2 million people and a quarter of a million cars, Singapore was plagued by chronic congestion in its downtown area when officials there decided to try a pricing system seven years ago. Access to the central city between 7:30 and 10:15 A.M was restricted to vehicles displaying special stickers, priced at about $1.67per day. The response was swift and dramatic. A study conducted by the World Bank reveals that the number of autos using the congested zone at rush hour dropped by 65 percent, reducing overall traffic by 40 percent.
What about the people for whom it was not worth $1.67 to drive in that time and place? Many rescheduled their trips, spreading roadway demand over a wider time span. Cars carrying at least four people were exempt from the charge, and the number of such car pools doubled after congestion pricing went into effect. Others formed smaller car pools to spread the cost of the fee over several riders. The city also encouraged commuters to switch to bus service by setting up park-and-ride shuttle services at various outlying posts.
The results in Singapore surpassed even the most optimistic predictions. But could rush-hour pricing work in America to relieve congestion on urban expressways? Skeptics reply that this isn't Singapore; Americans love their cars, and a pay-as-you-drive plan wouldn't achieve anything but political unpopularity here.
Back in 1973 the experts said that the American people wouldn't respond to rising gasoline prices, either. Only government rationing would get them to cut back on the use of this increasingly scarce resource. But an "amazing" thing happened on the way to the gas pumps:
between 1973 and 1978, the annual increase in gas consumption slowed from 5 percent to 3 percent, and by 1979 consumption was actually falling, a trend that continues today. These figures, it has been found, represent not only a switch to more fuel-efficient cars but
fewer and shorter automobile trips. "The experts" have had to eat humble pie.
Another criticism has been that the technology applied in Singapore-daily or monthly stickers-is too primitive for the United States. Congestion costs in American cities change rapidly with respect to time and place, and the pricing mechanism should be flexible enough to match these changes. Ideally, roadway prices should be continuously variable, so that a vehicle entering a roadway segment would be charged according to how crowded the road is. At a minimum, prices should vary with the congestion that is characteristic of particular roads or road segments and times. Because Singapore did not use such a flexible system, it is sometimes assumed that none exists.
In fact, the literature on roadway pricing is replete with more sophisticated methods of chargi.ig users. Coming up with a workable scheme is probably the least significant obstacle to road pricing. Even a licensing scheme can be made more sophisticated than Singapore's. In any such arrangement, drivers must purchase in advance and display a sticker in order to travel in congested priced zones. With variations in the color, number and letter codes, and shape, such stickers could allow differential pricing for various typical levels of congestion associated with different zones and times of day.

Writing in Reason's January 1982 issue, R.S. Taylor-Radford explains how a unique combination of technology and economics can defeat one of the greatest scourges in American life: the traffic jam.
Taylor-Radford knew that flying cars were just around the corner.
Should Reason somehow last 365 years, will we need to endure this schtick everyday?
The Singapore method of using a system similar to stadium seat licensing works for them.
Yeah, congestion pricing is a doomed idea because everybody already thinks they pay enough in road taxes.
We're going to charge you more money to drive to work! Sell that idea to the public. I'll wait.
The SF Bay area has had congestion-priced bridge tolls for years now.
DC has been doing it forever on the Metro. But as a general rule? I don't see it happening.
The only problem with this road pricing scheme is that it fails to take into account to primary factors.
a) People don't have the time flexibility to drive at non peak times. Their hours are often set by someone else.
b) People often don't have alternative routes.
Singapore's ERP pricing is a joke... it does nothing to relieve congestion and everything to increase government revenues. Even S$6 charges between 8:30 and 9 AM don't make a difference.
Ladies and gentlemen, Allan Ginsberg.

Isabel Salinas has always been a runner.
This year, the Southeast Whitfield High School sophomore's competitive nature has helped her become one of the area's best on the trail.
"This is my first year running cross country, and I have really had to work hard to get used to it," said Salinas, who runs track and field for the Lady Raiders in the spring. "At first my times were really slow. My timing was a little off at the beginning of the year."
Thursday afternoon at Dalton High School's Big Harry Invitational at Lakeshore Park, Salinas' timing was on the mark. She took first place in the girls race, finishing 16 seconds faster than her nearest competitor with a winning time of 21 minutes, 41 seconds on the 5K (3.1-mile) course.
The course and race are named after the late "Big Harry" Renz, who was influential in the area's prep running scene and helped start Dalton High's annual track and field invitational. This is the third straight running of the event and came with near perfect running conditions on the brisk afternoon.
Northwest Whitfield's girls and Coahulla Creek's boys won the team titles in the six-school event, with the latter's Sadoth Fraire the top local finisher in another neck-and-neck race with winner Dylan Smith of Gordon Lee.
Salinas has been at the head of the pack for the Lady Raiders all season, but she is finally getting out in front of a lot of others as well.
She said her time Thursday was a new personal record.
"You have to know when to push and when to not let the course get the best of you in cross country," she said. "This is a pretty flat course, and I enjoyed it. I am starting to learn how to be smarter in my races."
All five of Northwest's scoring runners finished in the top 15 for 51 points. Dalton (69 points), Coahulla Creek (86) and Southeast (169) rounded out the places. Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe and Gordon Lee also had runners competing, but they did not have enough runners to compete in the team standings.
Northwest Whitfield's score was compiled by Nancy Paz (third, 22:15), Caroline Duffy (ninth, 22:42), Jen Rivera (10th, 22:49), Ashley Sweeney (14th, 23:12) and Samantha Wooten (15th, 23:13). Scoring for Dalton were Ashley Parham (11th, 22:52), Beronica Hernandez (12th, 23:05), Bitia Paz (13th, 23:07), Santa Ibarra (16th, 23:19) and Monica Vega (17th, 23:21).
Coahulla Creek's scoring runners were Morgan King (fourth, 22:23), Rachel Cherry (sixth, 22:33), Evelyn Botello (23rd, 23:58), Bethany Goodwin (25th, 24:25) and Ationza Smith (28th, 24:43). For Southeast, besides Salinas, scoring runs came from Anna Padilla (5th, 22:23), Maria Quijano (39th, 26:08), Jessica Cervantes (46th, 28:47) and Sandy Torres (48th, 30:14).
In the boys race, although the finish between Gordon Lee's Smith and Coahulla Creek's Fraire wasn't as close as earlier this season at Northwest's Bruins Invitational — when the pair battled for position every step of the way down to the finish line — they still put on a good show. Smith was able to outkick Fraire down the stretch, winning with a time of 17:09, two seconds faster the Coahulla Creek senior, who was nine seconds ahead of freshman teammate Walt Douglas, the third-place finisher.
"I like running in the cool weather, and we have to get used to this kind of weather for the state meet," Fraire said. "It felt good out there, and I think that it showed because every one of us either set or came close to setting personal records. This course is a lot of fun."
Fraire's time bettered his previous best by a second.
"I am looking at his times, and the slowest time was at the first race, and he has improved every single race since then," Coahulla Creek coach Josh Deslattes said. "He set a new PR today, and he has been a great leader for the entire team. He is not just a great athlete. He will work with anyone, and that is going to be a big hole to fill next year. I think he definitely has a shot to be the individual champion at (Tuesday's Region 5-3A meet at Cartersville's Dellinger Park.)"
The Colts had four runners in the top 10 on Thursday. In addition to Fraire and Douglas, Timothy Hooper (sixth, 17:53), Missael Fraire (ninth, 18:05) and Oscar Andres (23rd, 18:54) scored.
Northwest was second with 57 points, paced by Henson Gibbs (fourth, 17:26), Lane Bramblett (eighth, 18:04), Dylan Richards (12th, 18:27), Brandon Bolino (15th, 18:36) and Luke Stevens (18th, 18:41).
Scoring for Dalton (69 points) were Brandon Pineda (fifth, 17:40), Eduardo Loredo (11th, 18:25), Jose Boyzo (13th, 18:29), Erik Villalobos (14th, 18:31) and Uriel Martinez (16th, 18:37). Scoring for Southeast (169) were Luiz Perez (10th, 18:14), Omar Ruiz (31st, 19:31), Hunter Young (36th, 19:50), Daniel Trianna (43rd, 20:14) and Jose Hurtado (49th, 20:37).

I have a question about…my cat has an obsession with chewing plastic
Posted By tdomf_d6e07 On July 7, 2011 @ 1:17 AM In Ask the Vet | 1 Comment
Enter your question here
My 10 year old female cat is obsessed with chewing plastic, especially plastic grocery bags. Pieces of plastic come out in her vomit and stool from time to time. I have asked vets if she has some kind of vitamin deficiency which makes her crave plastic. They think it's behavioral. She has done this for years and is normal otherwise. What do you think?
