88-year-old farmer has baby boy
08/13/2006 -AN 88-year-old Indian farmer, who has never heard of Viagra, became the father of a baby boy and has sex daily and wants more kids, The Times of India reported today.
The prosperous farmer, with a flowing white beard and a weather-beaten face, says he takes long walks every day and has been drinking fresh camel milk since childhood.
The paper reported his latest wife – his third – is 45 years younger and delivered male twins last month, but only one boy survived.
But Jat celebrated the birth of the surviving son with a feast for villagers and said he will try for more children.

First football, then jail time
Aug 17, 2006 KENTON, Ohio - A judge decided two high school athletes can complete the football season this fall before they serve 60-day jail sentences for a car crash caused by a decoy deer placed in a country road. Two teens were injured (one broke his neck).
“I shouldn’t be doing this, but I’m going to. I see positive things about participating in football,” Judge Gary McKinley said Tuesday.
Dailyn Campbell, a 16-year-old quarterback for Kenton High, and 17-year-old teammate Jesse Howard will serve their time in a juvenile detention center. They were also ordered to write a 500-word essay titled “Why I Should Think Before I Act.”
Robert Roby Jr. crashed his car into a pole and broke his neck, collarbone, arm and leg. His passenger, Dustin Zachariah, suffered brain damage, Bailey said.
...Both Campbell and Howard apologized at their sentencing. “I think every day that I hurt someone, and that hurts me inside,” Howard said.

Marshall Dropping Race-Based Course Restrictions
August 26, 2006 (AgapePress) - A campus watchdog has convinced Marshall University in West Virginia to stop offering racially segregated classes. The school had been limiting several freshman orientation classes to "African American students only."
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) wrote a letter to Marshall's President Stephen Kopp, protesting the racially segregated classes, after which the university changed the course descriptions, dropping the race-based restrictions. This fall, several sections of the school's University Studies 101 course will focus on "African American student issues," but will now be open to all students, regardless of race or ancestry, and their official course descriptions will reflect this fact.
...The idea of "separate but equal" education was discredited decades ago, the FIRE spokesman points out. "No matter what the motivation," he contends, "it is extraordinarily shortsighted to undermine cases like Brown v. Board of Education."

Oil deepens slide to near eight-week low
Aug 17, ...Oil fell for a fourth day on Thursday to the lowest in nearly eight weeks after U.S. data reminded traders that crude stocks are relatively robust and the summer driving season is nearing its end.
U.S. crude prices have shed more than 7 percent after falling for six of the last eight sessions as a ceasefire took hold in the Middle East and BP decided to shut in only half of its 400,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) Prudhoe Bay oilfield.
Some dealers had feared the partial closure of the biggest oilfield in the United States might trigger a surprisingly large drawdown in this week's crude inventories, but data on Wednesday showed a decline of 1.6 million barrels, in line with forecasts.
Crude stocks have fallen from the eight-year high reached earlier this year, but still remain higher than almost any time since 1999, giving refiners a sizeable supply buffer to guard against any unexpected disruptions...
...Distillate stocks rose 800,000 barrels and heating oil supplies stand higher than a year ago, the data showed

Wholesale prices tame in July
8/15/2006 — Wholesale prices barely edged up in July, kept in check by lower prices for new cars and trucks and for many food items, according to a Labor Department report showing muted inflation at the wholesale level.
The figures came in well below economists' forecasts for a 0.4% climb in wholesale prices and for a 0.2% gain excluding food and energy.

Sacred Ritual Claimed To Be Protected By Civil Rights Laws.
August 03, 2006 CLEVELAND — A man accused of sexually assaulting nine boys with physical or mental disabilities told a judge that having sex with children is a sacred ritual protected by civil rights laws.
Phillip Distasio, who said he is the leader of a church called Arcadian Fields Ministries, represented himself at his pretrial hearing Wednesday. He is charged with 74 counts including rape, pandering obscenity to minors and corrupting another with drugs.
"I'm a pedophile. I've been a pedophile for 20 years," he said in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Wednesday. "The only reason I'm charged with rape is that no one believes a child can consent to sex. The role of my ministry is to get these cases out of the courtrooms."
…All but one of the victims were under 13…
…Distasio tried unsuccessfully in June to fire his court-appointed lawyer because he wouldn't pursue a religious freedom defense…

Chicago taxes its way to highest gas prices
August 15, 2006 …the Chicago average was $3.29 a gallon, the highest average in the country.
But don't blame the oil companies for singling out Chicago, says Dave Sykuta, of the Illinois Petroleum Council. The real culprit is taxes. "Illinois not only has a sales tax but it has the biggest one -- 5 percent," Sykuta said.
Illinois is also the only state that allows local taxing bodies to pile on. That means Chicago and the RTA get an additional 4 percent, bringing the sales tax in Chicago to 9 percent.
Then Chicago also grabs an additional 5 cents a gallon, and Cook County takes an additional 6 cents a gallon.
Add in the federal and state motor fuel taxes, which are earmarked to fund roads, and you get nearly 80 cents a gallon for taxes.
But it's the sales taxes that bring on the big hurt, according to Sykuta. Because they are a percentage, more taxes get paid as the price of gas goes up.
"We're the biggest tax collector outside of the IRS," Sykuta said of the service station industry.

Teams clear snow in Eastern Cape (it's south of the equator)
August 16 2006 South Africa -Disaster teams in the Eastern Cape were on Wednesday battling to clear roads of snow that fell overnight in Barkly East and Elliot, Arrive Alive said.
"The snow has formed hard ice. It's terrible, it can't break," said Arrive Alive spokesperson Tshepo Machaea.
...He also warned that roofs of houses and businesses in the two areas were in danger of collapsing under the weight of snow.
..."Rural areas in Matatiele are not accessible at all. We are not sure when the roads there will be opened."

Antarctic Snowfall Snafu Derails Climate Models
11 August 2006- An improved method of measuring Antarctic snowfall has revealed that previous records showing an increase in precipitation are not accurate, even over a half-century. In the August 10 edition of Science magazine, researchers explain that their analysis of ice cores and snow pits revealed that precipitation levels in the Antarctic have in fact remained steady. The upshot of the study is that models assessing climate-change may need to be revised, as they can no longer be deemed accurate.
...team found that their data contradicted computer models used to calculate global climate change, where most predict an increase in precipitation as atmospheric temperatures increase...
...The new study shows that current climate-change models need to be revamped if scientists are to have a more accurate representation of Antarctic weather patterns. "The year-to-year and decadal variability of the snowfall is so large that it makes it nearly impossible to distinguish trends that might be related to climate change from even a 50-year record," said Monaghan.

Produce food or face seizure - Mugabe
August 14 2006 (once again Communism/Socialism fails)
Harare - Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe on Monday warned new black farmers to either produce food on farms taken from whites or have the land seized by the government.
"Those with land should use it to prove they were indeed interested in farming in the first place," Mugabe said at a Heroes' Day celebration.
"Those who can't produce, be warned, we will take the land back. We now need to distinguish capable and committed farmers from holders of land who are mere chancers and who should be made to seek opportunities elsewhere," he said.
Around 4 000 white farmers have lost their land, often violently, since Mugabe launched his widely criticised land reform programme in 2000 to redress the imbalances in land ownership from the colonial era.
Fewer than 600 farmers remain on their properties in Zimbabwe, once called a regional breadbasket, and the programme has been widely criticised as a failure....

Huachuca City detains 2 Middle Eastern men with 1000 cell phones; Feds release them
Aug 16, 2006 -Arizona's Counter-Terrorism Information Center has advised Arizona's law enforcement officials that there is a possible increase in suspicious purchases of prepaid cell phones.
Tucson Police have been searching for two men, of Middle Eastern descent for allegedly trying to buy around 50 disposable cell phones at a local Sam's Club. ...And there's news from Huachuca City that police detained two Middle Eastern men from California for trying to buy large quantities of disposable cell phones.
Experts say that those disposable phones can't be traced and that they can be used to detonate a bomb.

ABC News Trolls for Global Warming Stories
August 2, 2006 In its endless pursuit of the fair & balanced truth, ABC News wants to hear from you on global warming - if you have anecdotes that support the theory, that is.
Have a look at this ABC News International web page: Global Warming Affecting Your Life? E-Mail Us
ABC explains that it's "currently producing a report on global warming and want[s] to find out if you've seen differences in your daily environment that you think are caused by climate change."
Assures ABC: "We hope to hear from you."
Actually, that's not entirely true. Apparently ABC only wants to hear from you if you can vouch for global warming. Others need not apply. These avatars of objective journalism want you to know that 'the differences can be large or small — altered blooming schedules, changes in plants or animals in your community, erosion or droughts.'
Yes, pretty much anything qualifies - as long as it can be used in support of ABC's pre-ordained story line, which might read "Al Gore Is Right!"
