Cancer vaccines: CDC admits, then retracts statistics

98 million Americans were injected with vaccines containing cancer virus

The Centers for Disease Control recently published valuable information about polio vaccines on their site, but afterwards retracted the information.?Why has that information been taken down??Regardless, a Google snapshot of this information as it appeared on July 11, 2013 is cached here:

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com

The saved CDC information comes right out and admits that more than 98 million Americans during a span of eight years were injected with a cancer-causing polyomavirus called SV40.

This fact alone should serve as a testament to anyone: always question medical professionals who say that you or your child needs a certain vaccine or prescription. So much ?medicine? today is actually poison. Professionals are often duped into?believing in?the safety of a vaccine or prescription, when all along it may be laced with cancer-causing, health ravaging virus, heavy metals, fungus, formaldehyde, or neurotoxins.

What is SV40?

SV40 stands for Simian vacuolating virus 40 and was found in monkeys in 1960. This polyomavirus existed in contaminated batches of polio vaccinations in the 50s and early 60s. Fragments of this virus have shown up in human brain, bone, and lung cancers. This virus is known for causing cancerous tumors.

• A d v e r t i s e m e n t

Uniquely, humans have built in tumor-suppressing genes. The?SV40?virus effectively disables those genes, suppressing them through the SV40 T-antigens. This leads to mutated genes that spawn uncontrollable cellular proliferation, leading to cancer.

Michele Carbone, Assistant Professor of pathology at Loyola University in Chicago, has recently found fragments of the SV40 virus in 40% of human bone cancers and in 60% of mesothelioma cancers.

Experts in the field are beginning to conclude that the Salk and Sabin?polio vaccines?were responsible for injecting cancer-causing viral strains into people, mutating their genes and welcoming epidemics of cancer.

The contaminated vaccine has been estimated to have adversely affected 10 to 30 million people.

The discovery of SV40

SV40 was first found by Dr. Bernice Eddy when she studied the minced kidney cells of rhesus monkeys. ?The cells would die without any apparent cause,? she reported. Taking the cells from the monkey?s kidney cultures, Dr. Eddy injected them into hamsters. Merck & Co. soon discovered this?virus, which was identified and isolated by Dr. Eddy. It was named Simian Virus 40 because it was the 40th virus found in monkey kidney cells. In 1960, the discovery was complete. Merck scientists Dr. Benjamin Sweet and Dr. Maurice Hillman published the findings. Dr. Eddy went on to publish more information about the SV40 virus. A single dose was injected into 13 newborn hamsters and 10 newborn mice. What followed was cellular neoplasms that developed between 156 and 380 days.

Still though, at the time, medical professionals defended the SV40 tainted polio vaccines, despite the published dangers of the SV40 virus contaminating the vaccines.

A more recent report, published in 2005 by the the National Network for Immunization Information, downplays the situation:

?Although SV40 has biological properties consistent with a cancer-causing virus, it has not been conclusively established whether it has caused?cancer?in humans,? said the report. ?Epidemiological studies of groups of people who received polio vaccine during 1955-1963 do not show an increased
cancer risk.?

With the CDC coming out and admitting that millions of Americans were exposed to cancer causing SV40 viruses in the polio vaccines between 1955 and 1963, there will be increased skepticism about vaccinations in the years to come.

Maybe that?s why billionaire vaccine pushers made the?CDC?take this important information off their site.

Regardless, now you know. Always make an informed decision. Don?t automatically trust a medical professional when they say, ?you need this vaccine.?

Switzerland train crash: Trains collide in Switzerland, injuring 35

Switzerland train crash: Trains collided head-on near Granges-pres-Marnard in western Switzerland on Monday evening, just two days after a train derailment in Spain killed 79.

By Associated Press / July 29, 2013

Rescue personnel work at the site where two passenger trains collided head-on in Granges-pres-Marnand, western Switzerland, Monday, July 29. Police say at least dozens of people were injured, four of them seriously.

The crash happened near the station of Granges-pres-Marnand shortly before 7 p.m. (1700 GMT) on a regional line about 50 kilometers (31 miles) southwest of the capital, Bern. It came just days after 79 people were killed in a high-speed?train?derailment in Spain.

Photographs from the Swiss site showed the two regional?trains?locked together, partly lifted off the tracks by the force of the collision.

Police said several ambulances, fire engines and a helicopter were involved in the rescue operation. Rescuers had not yet been able to reach the driver's cabin of one of the?trains, said the police in the canton (state) of Vaud in a statement.

News website 20min.ch quoted Patricia Claivaz of the Swiss rail company CFF as saying the trapped man was the driver. It was unclear if he was alive.

According to police, the five people who were seriously injured were taken to the hospital in the nearby city of Lausanne.

Earlier, Swiss media had cited police as saying 44 were injured, four of them seriously. It wasn't immediately clear why the injury figure had been lowered.

Switzerland's?rail system is considered among the best and safest in the world. Accidents are rare, though three years ago the country's popular Glacier Express tourist?train?derailed in the Alps, killing one person and injuring 42.

Berkeley Lab researchers discover universal law for light absorption in 2D semiconductors

From solar cells to optoelectronic sensors to lasers and imaging devices, many of today's semiconductor technologies hinge upon the absorption of light. Absorption is especially critical for nano-sized structures at the interface between two energy barriers called quantum wells, in which the movement of charge carriers is confined to two-dimensions. Now, for the first time, a simple law of light absorption for 2D semiconductors has been demonstrated.

Working with ultrathin membranes of the semiconductor indium arsenide, a team of researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has discovered a quantum unit of photon absorption, which they have dubbed "AQ," that should be general to all 2D semiconductors, including compound semiconductors of the III-V family that are favored for solar films and optoelectronic devices. This discovery not only provides new insight into the optical properties of 2D semiconductors and quantum wells, it should also open doors to exotic new optoelectronic and photonic technologies.

"We used free-standing indium arsenide membranes down to three nanometers in thickness as a model material system to accurately probe the absorption properties of 2D semiconductors as a function of membrane thickness and electron band structure," says Ali Javey, a faculty scientist in Berkeley Lab's Materials Sciences Division and a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the University of California (UC) Berkeley. "We discovered that the magnitude of step-wise absorptance in these materials is independent of thickness and band structure details."

Javey is one of two corresponding authors of a paper describing this research in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). The paper is titled "Quantum of optical absorption in two-dimensional semiconductors." Eli Yablonovitch, an electrical engineer who also holds joint appointments with Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley, is the other corresponding author.

Co-authors are Hui Fang, Hans Bechtel, Elena Plis, Michael Martin and Sanjay Krishna.

Previous work has shown that graphene, a two-dimensional sheet of carbon, has a universal value of light absorption. Javey, Yablonovitch and their colleagues have now found that a similar generalized law applies to all 2D semiconductors. This discovery was made possible by a unique process that Javey and his research group developed in which thin films of indium arsenide are transferred onto an optically transparent substrate, in this case calcium fluoride.

"This provided us with ultrathin membranes of indium arsenide, only a few unit cells in thickness, that absorb light on a substrate that absorbed no light," Javey says. "We were then able to investigate the optical absorption properties of membranes that ranged in thickness from three to 19 nanometers as a function of band structure and thickness."

Using the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) capabilities of Beamline 1.4.3 at Berkeley Lab's Advanced Light Source, a DOE national user facility, Javey, Yablonovitch and their co-authors measured the magnitude of light absorptance in the transition from one electronic band to the next at room temperature. They observed a discrete stepwise increase at each transition from indium arsenide membranes with an AQ value of approximately 1.7-percent per step.

"This absorption law appears to be universal for all 2D semiconductor systems," says Yablonovitch. "Our results add to the basic understanding of electronphoton interactions under strong quantum confinement and provide a unique insight toward the use of 2D semiconductors for novel photonic and optoelectronic applications."

Jerry O'Connell gets skimpy on 'We Are Men'

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) ? Jerry O'Connell got a surprise when he saw part of his character's wardrobe in the new CBS comedy "We Are Men."

He didn't find out he would be wearing a skimpy swimsuit in several scenes until he saw it hanging in his dressing room.

The suit wasn't in the original script. As a result, O'Connell told the Television Critics Association on Monday that the show is probably his "most nerve-racking job."

"We got to work very early and it's a little chilly outside. I'm continually trying to make sure blood is flowing to every part of my body," he said. "We're a couple episodes in and I'm in the Speedo continually. I have joined a gym and I've started drinking light beer. I don't know how guys like Michael Phelps do it all the time."

O'Connell first gained notice as a pre-teen in the 1986 film "Stand By Me."

"I was known as the fat guy from 'Stand By Me,'" he said. "I guess I'll be known as 'Speedo guy.'"

O'Connell's wife, Rebecca Romijn, knows a thing or two about swimsuits as a former Sports Illustrated cover model. She now stars on the TNT show "King & Maxwell."

"My wife's advice was, 'Go get a tan, do some pushups and maybe do some Pilates,'" O'Connell said.

O'Connell, Tony Shalhoub and Kal Penn co-star in "We Are Men" as newly single men sharing temporary digs. The show debuts Sept. 30.

Get Ready, Canada: Saks Fifth Avenue Is Coming Your Way

Saks Fifth Avenue announced Monday that it has agreed to let Hudson's Bay Company ? the Toronto-based firm that owns Lord & Taylor and Hudson's Bay ? buy the company for $2.4 billion. This means one of America's most famous department-store chains is now owned by a Canadian business, and it also means Saks will soon expand into the Great White North.

The chain's new owners plan to build Saks Fifth Avenue locations and its Off Fifth outlet stores throughout Canada, according to Dealbook. These stores will join Saks's other international outposts in Mexico, Dubai, Bahrain, and Kazakhstan.

"We are excited about what this opportunity and being part of a much larger enterprise can mean for the future of the Saks Fifth Avenue brand," said Saks CEO Steven Sadove in a statement.

Technically, Saks still has a 40-day "go-shop" period, during which it can still entertain other offers before officially becoming part of Hudson's Bay. Earlier bidders for the retailer included Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, a private equity firm that might have merged Saks with Neiman Marcus, and the Qatar Investment Authority, which owns stakes in Tiffany & Co. and LVMH, among other holdings.

Prefab Building on Florida Polytechnic Campus Recommended

The structure would serve facilities functions eventually. (PROVIDED TO THE LEDGER)

Published: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at 12:01 a.m.

Last Modified: Monday, July 29, 2013 at 11:59 p.m.

LAKELAND | As Florida Polytechnic University gears up for a fall 2014 opening, administrators and staff have been working out of office space on South Florida Avenue.

But when prospective students and parents come calling, they will want to see the future site of the state's 12th university.

By mid-November, a premanufactured building should be on site to house about a dozen university employees to allow them to operate before permanent space is ready. Others will remain at the 1 Poly Place address on South Florida Avenue.

The university's Operations Committee met via conference call Monday and voted on the premanufactured building option. The committee will recommend the full board approve $1.169 million for the building.

They also heard about modular trailers and conventional construction, but the premanufactured option was chosen for several reasons, including the fact that it can be used by the facilities staff later, so most of the cost will not go to waste. It will be set up next to a campus control center for that purpose.

Contractor Pete Karamitsanis, president of Lighthouse Advisors, said the building should be ready to be occupied by mid-Novem?ber.

The concept of setting up the recruiting space is similar to that of a model home at a construction site. The approximately 5,000-square-foot building will give students and parents an idea of what the Florida Poly experience will be like.

"We are actually setting up a classroom because we won't be able to show students classrooms for a long time," said Admissions Director Scott Rhodes.

The classroom area will be divided into four sections and include a laboratory setting and a typical classroom.

The building will provide space for group presentations, conference rooms, private meeting rooms and office space for recruiters and financial aid counselors.

The staff wants the structure to present an appropriate public "face" for the univer?sity.

"A steel structure will communicate permanency, which we believe is critical at this juncture to selling the total Florida Polytechnic first-year student experience," Rhodes said.

Brochures, information on a website and videos might show prospective students a bit of what it will be like there, but an on-site setup will serve as a more informative way to describe Florida Poly, he said.

"Florida Polytechnic University is selling a completely new type of 21st-century college experience," he said. "So while you're selling the future and a dream, you are still selling a college experience. Therefore, it's critical that the experience be as real as possible and help prospective families visualize what they are choosing: Florida Polytechnic University.

The budget includes $919,302 for a total projected cost for the building, including $670,000 for construction and additional funds for setting up parking lots and land?scaping.

About $50,000 is budgeted for golf carts to transport people on tours. Another $100,000 is included for furnishings and electronic equipment, but Rhodes and others will be using a lot of furnishings the university inherited from the University of South Florida Polytechnic.

Swanson, Hines USAC winners at Lucas Oil Raceway: Swanson wins in Silver Crown Series; Hines takes Rich Vogler Classic midget race

Swanson wins in Silver Crown Series; Hines takes Rich Vogler Classic midget race

By: Steven Cole Smith on July 28, 2013

Steven Cole Smith - Tanner Swanson in victory lane at Lucas Oil Raceway after winning the 100-lap race for USAC Silver Crown Series cars on Saturday.

Saturday was a good night to be named Swanson at Lucas Oil Raceway in Clermont, Indiana. Brothers Tanner and Kody Swanson, from Kingsburg, California, took first and second in the J.D. Byrider 100, a 100-lap race for the USAC Traxxas Silver Crown cars held on the paved oval previously known as Indianapolis Raceway Park.

And it wasn't a bad night to be named Hines, either, as Tracy Hines won the 30-lap Rich Vogler Classic USAC midget race, while Tanner Swanson finished third, just behind Kyle Larson, fresh from an 11th-place finish at the Indiana 250 NASCAR Nationwide race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway Saturday afternoon, and a second-place finish at Eldora Speedway Wednesday night in the NASCAR Camping World truck series Mudsummer Classic.

Kody Swanson, 25, qualified on the pole in his for the Silver Crown race, and held the lead until Tanner, 21, started challenging him on lap 11. Tanner completed the pass on lap 14, and never looked back.

The 17-car race went caution-free until lap 49, when Jarrett Andretti, son of former NASCAR, IndyCar and NHRA driver John Andretti, spun in turn four after battling brake bias problems. Before the field was able to go green, the third-place car of Jerry Coons, Jr. spun after breaking an axle. The race restarted on lap 62, and Tanner Swanson again shot into the lead ahead of his brother, with David Byrne in third, Chris Windom in fourth, and Hines in fifth.

When the checkered flag fell on lap 100, Tanner, driving a Banjo Corporation Beast/Kistler, had nearly a half-lap lead over his brother, and was inches from lapping the sixth-place car of Jacob Wilson.

Steven Cole Smith - Tracy Hines drove his Spike/Stanton Toyota to victory in the Rick Vogler Classic.

Prior to the Silver Crown race, New Castle, Indiana's Hines -- who finished 13th in the NASCAR truck series Mudsummer Classic at Eldora -- dominated the 14-car Rich Vogler Classic from the pole. Darrell Hagen passed Hines on lap five, but Hines quickly re-passed him, and Hagen dropped back to an eventual fourth-place finish. Larson was next to challenge Hines, passing him in turn three after a slide job, but Hines re-passed Larson before they reached the front straight.

Hines took the victory in his Spike/Stanton Toyota, followed by teammates Larson and Tanner Swanson, both driving Toyota-powered, Keith Kunz-owned Beast cars.

Hines leads defending series champion Hagen in season points, 307 to 301. In Silver Crown points, Kody Swanson leads Bobby East, who finished seventh, 197 to 186 points.

WarGames: Google vs. Apple

The Apple Army goes to work

Photo illustration by Jim Festante/Slate. Photo by iStockphoto.

Reminder: Matt Yglesias and Farhad Manjoo are wargaming a fanciful, definitely-not-actually-true version of what might happen if Google and Apple went to war. You can see how the battle began here.

As of Oct. 25, 2013 Apple has:
Cash on hand: $140 billion
Personnel: 100,000
Territory controlled: Offices, retail stores, factories, and the political allegiances of China, Europe, the Middle East, and a growing number of Americans.

There?s a grim mood in the hastily assembled Cupertino, Calif., bunker where Apple?s executives have hunkered down. But the phone is ringing off the hook. Google?s tactics, though devastatingly effective, are also terrifying to many citizens. While click-dependent digital media may buckle under to Google?s demands, television remains Americans? main source of news and the offline coverage of Google?s offensive is devastating. The New York Times is able to get by on traffic from iOS devices (mobile is the future, after all), and a solid minority of American digital media sticks with Apple, hoping for a larger share of a smaller pie. Meanwhile, a European Union already worried about Google?s monopoly power and concerned about surveillance moves decisively into backlash mode, barring the company from doing business in Europe and seizing its fixed assets there. And while it?s true that Google has many offerings Apple can?t beat, it?s also true that Germany entered World War I with the strongest overall military.

War is a game of coalitions. Not only are there whole countries where Google barely exists (think China), but there?s a whole world of online services companies out there who?ve been chomping at the bit for a big Google scandal to get them into the game. Bing search, Outlook webmail, Yahoo Calendar, and Dropbox for storage. Google?s one-stop shopping is a convenience, but people in Google-hostile territory can use the Web without it and the company?s behavior is frightening people. Apple?s hearty band of loyalists can shop at the Apple Store and punch apple.com into the browser just fine?and while they?re there, many of them are adding their contact information to a new page which urges Apple fans to join the ?Apple Army.? The photo accompanying sign-up shows a cheerful, attractive, multicultural group massed in front of Apple headquarters, everyone wearing T-shirts of bright, primary colors. In the first week, 20,000 Apple partisans sign up. ?

And Google has forgotten the fundamental reality that the Internet is a physical entity. Customers are a little surprised to find every Apple Store in the Portland area closed at lunchtime, but it?s just a quick 90-minute jaunt down I-84 to Google?s data center at The Dalles, Ore., one of six within the United States. Tim Cook never really thought it would come to this, but as Apple?s longtime logistics guy he?s always made sure the company can get its hands on demolition and construction materials at a moment?s notice. And what can be used to renovate a store can be used to wreck a data center just about as easily. No government officials or law enforcement personnel will explicitly take Google on, of course, but everyone knows that if the data centers are destroyed so is the possibility for blackmail so it?s strictly hands-off. Meanwhile, other wrecking crews are already in motion heading out of Greensboro, Omaha, Atlanta, Charlotte, and Tulsa to attack the other data centers.

Hunter Mahan has made the happy jump from tournament leader to proud father.

He announced the birth of his daughter Sunday, a day after he withdrew from the Canadian Open while in front after his wife went into labor.

He tweeted: "What a whirlwind of a day." He says Zoe Olivia Mahan was born at 3:26 a.m. in Texas.

Mahan was leading the tournament in Oakville, Ontario, after two rounds Saturday. He flew home to Dallas when his wife went into labor a month before her due date.

He says in another tweet his wife and daughter are "doing great." He thanked his sponsors for appreciating "what's important in life" and saluted his fans for "being Awesome!"

Mahan would have been on the course at Glen Abbey Golf Club for the third round when his wife began having labor pains, but his tee time was delayed 80 minutes by a thunderstorm.

Factor In Food Cost When Deciding Whether to Fly or Drive

Trips to places about 200-400 miles away present an interesting dilemma; should you drive or fly? While most peoples' first instinct is to guesstimate the cost of gas vs. a plane ticket, factoring in food can make a big difference in your overall budget.

Trent from The Simple Dollar notes that many people forget that car trips can save you a ton of money on food, because you can bring a cooler to your final destination and avoid a few trips to the snack bar. Even during the drive itself, you can stop at cheaper diners, or pack some sandwiches yourself, avoiding airport markups. Your savings will vary with this tip depending on the length of your stay, but it's an easy thing to forget when you're arranging your itinerary.

800,000 UK jobs advertised across Europe - and foreign jobseekers even get travelling costs

The website EURES has more than 1.4 million vacancies across the EU, with the UK making up more than 50 per cent of them.

Foreign jobseekers are also being offered up to ?900 to cover travelling costs to the UK for interviews, while UK employers can receive a ?1,000 bonus for taking on a non-British worker, the Telegraph reported.

It comes at a time when Conservative business minister Matthew Hancock is urging UK firms to employ young British workers rather than better-qualified immigrants.

He said firms have a responsibility to ensure young people from the communities where they are based are given the opportunity to get a job and get on in life.

All positions advertised in UK Jobcentres have to be listed on the EURES website according to an EU scheme, the newspaper added.

After the UK, which lists 814,359 jobs on the website, the country with the second highest number of vacancies is Germany with 267,534 - around 20 per cent of the overall number.

Ukip leader Nigel Farage said he was "astonished" British vacancies were being advertised abroad at a time when unemployment in the UK is "rife".

"The fact that unemployed Brits are being pitted against 500 million people across the EU to get jobs in their own country is utterly reprehensible," he said.

"With two-and-a-half million people unemployed in the UK, of which 958,000 are under twenty-five, every job vacancy counts."

On Friday Mr Hancock told BBC Radio Four's Today programme: "During the last boom there was a lot of recruitment from abroad and, in fact, youth unemployment went up, even during the boom.

"This is about a change of culture. I'm arguing that it is companies' social responsibility, it is their social duty, to look at employing locally first."

Ken Cuccinelli: 'Focus of my campaign is on jobs and the economy'

For candidate Ken Cuccinelli, the focus of his campaign for Governor of Virginia is on jobs and the economy. At speeches and appearances throughout the state, he has laid out proposals to cut taxes and spur growth in the commonwealth.

Continue reading

But as questions continue to surround Governor McDonnell about gifts he received from Star Scientific CEO, Jonnie Williams, there are also some questions on the same topic for Cuccinelli. And despite being cleared of any legal wrongdoing, he has acknowledged his mistakes in the past few years when asked about his reporting of gifts:

"Clearly we can look back and answer that question, yes. But literally some of them came in at half the value -- as a box of these Tic Tac-like food supplements. I didn't know that was coming, I didn't ask for that."

In light of recent news regarding McDonnell, Cuccinelli now believes there should be much tighter caps and bans on gifts for officials and their family members, insisting that this will be something he will push for if elected governor.

When asked if he would also change the rules, he had this to say:

"Oh, dramatically. When I ran for Attorney General, part of what we ran on was an ethics platform. We got a couple of things but we got a lot of resistance in the General Assembly. One of the things that the governor's situation has created is a situation that will allow us to get a lot more ethics reform."

Continuing on the topic of McDonnell, Cuccinelli says the current governor "needs to think about whether he believes it would be harming Virginia in ways that he believes would be unacceptable.?

"And remember Rebecca, I started the state investigation," he says.

Cuccinelli says McAuliffe, on the other hand, didn?t disclose any of it.

?That's why I've called for two things," he says. "One, an independent ethics commission. Two, a $100 gift ban. And I would ask the Attorney General to join me.?

Cuccinelli concluded by saying that he has supported the reform of Virginia laws for some time now.

Crystal Palace Could Be Rebuilt By Chinese Developers

26 July 2013| General News | By: Zoe Craig

When the second incarnation of London?s Crystal Palace burnt to the ground in 1936, Winston Churchill declared ?This is the end of an age.?

So today?s news that a billionaire Chinese property developer might be interested in rebuilding the palace could well mark the start of a new one.

ZhongRong Holdings is reported to be interested in creating a replica of Joseph Paxton?s glass and steel building that first housed the 1851 Great Exhibition in Hyde Park, and was later moved and rebuilt on Penge Common, now Crystal Palace Park. The second version was considerably bigger than the first, and housed a school of art, science and literature, as well as concerts, exhibitions and other types of entertainment.

Ni Zhaoxing, who has an estimated $1.25bn fortune and owns the Shanghai-based ZhongRong Holdings, said he wants to build the copy of the 900,000 sq ft building. It?s said that Zhaoxing has already appointed consulting engineers Arup to develop proposals for the South London site. The full proposals are expected later this year.

However, it seems everyone involved is eager to point out that these discussions are in really early stages.

A spokesperson from Bromley Council said, ?We are committed to improving Crystal Palace Park which remains a jewel, not just in Bromley, but in London?s crown. We are continuing to look at and explore all funding options, including grant funding, that might be available to help secure a long term and viable future. As part of this, we have had discussions with a number of parties and all of these conversations remain at early stages.?

Perhaps the above visual mock-up from earlier this year might sway a few decision makers?

Virginia Republican Campaigns to Outlaw Blow Jobs and Buttsex

In a move that's sure to be wildly popular among The Youths, Virginia's Republican Gubernatorial nominee Ken Cuccinelli II had made outlawing oral and anal sex a part of his campaign platform. What's got two thumbs and hates blowjobs? That guy! (awkwardly gesticulates with thumbs in vague direction of Virginia)

Today, Cuccinelli ? who currently serves as the state's nutty-as-a-fruitcake Attorney General ? announced via his website that, if elected by the People of Virginia, he will make sure that the People of Virginia aren't getting off in each others mouths and butts, because those things are Crimes Against Nature (coming this fall to CBS!)

One problem: the Crimes Against Nature Law Cuccinelli wants to resurrect has already been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, as it governs what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own velvet Jesus portrait-containing homes. From Think Progress's Josh Israel,

The law states, ?If any person carnally knows in any manner any brute animal, or carnally knows any male or female person by the anus or by or with the mouth, or voluntarily submits to such carnal knowledge, he or she shall be guilty of a Class 6 felony?? Cuccinelli claims that the law ?is only applied to sodomy committed against minors, against non-consenting adults, or in public,? but fails to mention that what he wants to keep on the books criminalizes the private behavior of consenting grownups.

Protecting The Children is a noble cause, certainly ? only Cucinelli isn't trying to protect The Children at all. He's just continuing a bizarre career crusade against Gays Gaying all over the place. As Israel points out, in 2009, Cuccinelli told a newspaper that he believes it should be okay for the state to regulate the sexual behavior of grown ass adults, because homosexual acts are inherently wrong.

I'm far from the only one who has long-suspected that at the root of the GOP's moral panic legislating is an irrational, paralyzing fear of non-religiously-sanctioned sex (or any sex that doesn't include heterosexual male dominion over a subjugated, church-assigned female? THANK YOU GENDER STUDIES CLASSES I TOOK IN COLLEGE), but this. It's like they're not even trying to hint at pretending anymore. How are you going to campaign against oral sex and then furrow your brow and scritch scratch your head about WHY the GOP is basically dead to young people and women? Anal I can take or leave, but running against oral? Dude, you might as well run against corgi puppies or cat videos or ice cream or hugs.

Met office issues heatwave warning as Britons bake

LONDON (Reuters) - The Met Office warned healthcare providers to be ready to help high-risk groups on Wednesday as Britain's heatwave looks set to intensify.

Temperatures were expected to reach 32C (89.6F) in London and 31 in the southeast on Wednesday, while other areas of the country could see daytime temperatures of 28 to 30C.

Forecasters say the hot and humid conditions -- Britain's first prolonged heatwave for seven years -- could continue for the rest of the month and into the early part of August.

"There is a 90 percent probability of heatwave conditions between 0900 on Wednesday and 2100 on Thursday in parts of England," the Met Office said on its website.

It raised its three-stage hot weather warning for those looking after potentially vulnerable groups like children and the elderly to "be prepared" from "be aware."

The Department of Health issued its own advice on how to cope with the heat.

"Keeping the home as cool as possible during hot weather and remembering the needs of friends, relatives and neighbours who could be at risk is essential," it said.

"The elderly and those who are ill are particularly vulnerable during hot weather, and the most oppressive conditions occur in our towns and cities."

Heat can make heart and respiratory problems worse, and in extreme cases can lead to potentially fatal heat stroke, it added.

Despite the dangers, the heatwave makes a pleasant contrast for many Britons after last year's washout Summer and the coldest Spring this year for more than 50 years.

Britain's hottest July temperature was 36.5C, recorded in Surrey in 2006. The hottest ever in the UK was 38.5 (101.3F) degrees recorded in Kent in 2003.

Program reports hospital readmission rates after PCI

Information from the American College of Cardiology national database of hospital records on stenting and angioplasty, also known as percutaneous coronary intervention or PCI, is now available to consumers.

A new measure that reflects how often patients were readmitted to any hospital within 30 days after having a PCI procedure will be available on Medicare's Hospital Compare website in an easy-to-read, searchable format. The measure, developed through a partnership with Yale New Haven Health Services Corporation - Center for Outcomes Research and Evaluation and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, uses similar methodology to other readmission measures that are publicly reported on Hospital Compare. However, this measure is unique in its use of clinical information from the ACC's National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) to evaluate the health of each hospital's patient population for risk adjustment.

This is a pilot voluntary public reporting program. Over 300 hospitals participating in the ACC's NCDR CathPCI Registry have elected to voluntarily publicly report their measure results on Hospital Compare.

"Participating in this registry and in public reporting of readmissions data shows a significant commitment on the part of the hospitals to transparency and quality," said Gregory J. Dehmer, MD, FACC, chair of the ACC Public Reporting Advisory Group. "Readmissions are both costly to a health care system and burdensome to the patient and their family."

PCI is one of the most common cardiac procedures in the United States, with over 600,000 performed each year. It is used to open narrowed or blocked arteries supplying blood to the heart. In appropriate patients, it can improve quality of life and survival; however, one in seven patients who undergoes PCI is readmitted to the hospital in the month following the procedure. Unplanned readmissions may reflect the quality of care that hospitals provide to patients during their hospital stay.

The PCI readmission measure compares hospitals to the NCDR CathPCI Registry readmission rate based on unplanned readmissions occurring within 30 days of discharge after the PCI procedure. Each hospital is then assigned to one of three categories:

• better than NCDR CathPCI Registry rate,
  
• no different than CathPCI Registry rate,
• worse than CathPCI Registry rate.

Results are based on a measurement period from January 1, 2010 through November 30, 2011. The overall NCDR CathPCI Registry readmission rate was 11.9 percent.

"This measure is extremely valuable for patients in that they are, for the first time, getting easy access to information on how their local hospital is performing in terms of readmissions after these procedures," said ACC President John G. Harold, MD, MACC. "Each hospital that has opted to publicly report this information should be commended for their commitment to making sure all patients receive the best possible care."

The mission of the American College of Cardiology is to transform cardiovascular care and improve heart health. The College is a 43,000-member medical society comprised of physicians, surgeons, nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists and practice managers. The College is a leader in the formulation of health policy, standards, and guidelines. The ACC provides professional education, operates national registries to measure and improve quality of care, disseminates cardiovascular research, and bestows credentials upon cardiovascular specialists who meet stringent qualifications.

Onion prices in India to sizzle until October, firing inflation

By Rajendra Jadhav

MUMBAI | Wed Jul 17, 2013 5:25pm IST

MUMBAI (Reuters) - Onion prices in India hit a two-and-a-half-year high on Wednesday riding a supply squeeze due to last year's drought in key growing areas, and traders expect prices to spiral up further in a month as demand remains strong due to Ramadan.

Onion is a common ingredient in many Indian dishes. Soaring prices of the vegetable have helped dislodge the state governments in the past, and rising food costs often spark street protests in a country where nearly a third of the 1.2 billion population live on under $1.25 per day.

The average prices at Lasalgaon, India's largest wholesale onion market in the western state of Maharashtra, rose to 2,411 rupees per 100 kg on Wednesday, the highest since January 2011.

The wholesale price has risen about 50 percent in a month, although retail prices have more than doubled in some metros like Mumbai to 30 rupees per kg.

"Last year's drought curtailed production in Maharashtra. The supply shortfall is hardening prices and we can see further upside in coming weeks," said Changdev Holkar, a director at the National Agricultural Co-operative Marketing Federation.

During the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, which started this year on July 9, consumption of onions rises because it is used in making traditional cuisine.

Maharashtra is the country's top onion producer. In 2012, it was hit by the worst drought in more than four decades, curbing the area planted with onions and trimming yields. The state's output fell nearly 16 percent to 4.76 million tonnes in 2012/13.

Daily supplies in the Lasalgaon spot market have come down to around 1,000 tonnes compared to around 1,800 tonnes during the same time last year, said an official at the National Horticultural Research and Development Foundation.

Food inflation accelerated for the second month in a row in June, touching 9.74 percent as vegetable prices shot up, helping retail inflation rise to 9.87 percent, snapping a three-month easing trend.

The Congress-party led government, battling economic pressures including a rupee falling to record lows and an all-time high current account deficit as well as reviving inflation, must face elections within a year.

NEW CROP, SLOWING EXPORTS

Onion prices may ease with the new crop arriving in small quantities from the end of August, but any substantial price decline will only come in October, Holkar said.

"Farmers have increased the area due to higher prices. Onion prices will fall once supplies peak from the new season crop, but the weather needs to remain favourable until harvesting," he said.

Sometimes, despite a higher area planted with onion, output drops due to excess rainfall that spoils the bulb.

India, a key supplier to Asian and Gulf countries, exported 511,616 tonnes in the first three months of the current financial year that started on April 1. But exports are falling due to higher prices and as new season supplies have started from China and Pakistan.

"Exports demand is very weak. China and Pakistan are offering more than $150 discount (per tonne) over Indian prices," said a Mumbai-based exporter, who declined to be identified.

"Onion exports in July and August are likely to fall sharply. They will recover from September onwards," he said.
