Bernie Horn, The Campaign for America's Future: "Yesterday, the US House of Representatives handed bankers in the credit card industry a defeat. But almost simultaneously, mortgage bankers won big in the Senate. Senator Richard Durbin lamented that the banks 'are still the most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill. And they frankly own the place.'"

Telford & Wrekin Council is due to adopt new guidelines when deciding the controversial issue of mobile phone masts.

It follows huge concern among residents when telecommunications giants announce plans to install masts close to housing estates and playing fields.

Now the council cabinet, which meets on May 11, is set to spell out exactly which matters councillors should consider when applications are made for phone masts and radio equipment.

Accra, May 02, GNA - Mr. Haruna Iddrisu, Minister of Communications, has urged telecom operators to be considerate of peoples' reservations about telecom towers mounted close to their dwelling place and institute measures to allay the anxieties of the public.

He noted that there had been considerable amount of public concern about telecom masts and their health and safety implications, saying that he personally received a complaint regarding some MTN telecom tower mounted in a home at Tamale, and the residents feared that "the tower is causing malaria."

AN ALTERNATIVE site for the controversial Foxes Piece phone mast has been found, communications giant Orange has announced.

In a joint statement with Wycombe District Council the mobile phone operator revealed “a potentially suitable location” has been earmarked - in Station Approach - after a series of tests were carried out earlier this year.

It will now contact residents in the street prior to the plan being submitted to WDC.

Campaigners have issued a cautious welcome to the news, saying they will reserve their celebrations until it is certain the 12m tall antenna in Little Marlow Road, Marlow will not be built.

Seth Sandronsky, Truthout: "A bit like Malcom X, author Minqi Li used prison time to read widely. The latter studied radical political economy for two years when Chinese leaders locked him up for a critical public speech after the Tiananmen upsurge in 1989. That was then. He is an author and assistant professor of economics at the University of Utah now. Li's 'The Rise of China and the Demise of the Capitalist World Economy' is a must-read for all concerned with the future of the earth and its people."

Mindestlohn-Kommission ist eine Farce

Als "Lohndumping-Beirat" bezeichnet der stellvertretende Parteivorsitzende Klaus Ernst die heute von Arbeitsminister Scholz präsentierte Mindestlohn-Kommission des Arbeitsministeriums. Nach seiner Ansicht gibt es von vornherein eine Sperrmehrheit gegen existenzsichernde Mindestlöhne in dem Gremium. Ernst erklärt:

Die Mindestlohn-Kommission ist eine Farce. Schon der Name ist irreführend. Lohndumping-Beirat wäre richtiger. Denn Lohndumpinganhänger haben die Mehrheit in dem Gremium. Wolfgang Franz singt seit Jahren Loblieder auf Hungerlöhne und will das Arbeitslosengeld II noch unter das jetzige Niveau absenken. Klaus von Dohnanyi, bekennender Neoliberaler mit SPD-Parteibuch, will Mindestlöhne allenfalls auf niedrigstem Niveau und noch dazu mit geringeren Sätzen für Ostdeutschland. Gemeinsam mit den Arbeitgeber-Vertretern, denen jeder Euro Lohn einer zu viel ist, gibt es so eine Sperrmehrheit gegen existenzsichernde Mindestlöhne. Wer Mindestlöhne von Lohndumpinganhängern festsetzen lässt, kann es auch gleich bleiben lassen.

We need to step back and look at very fundamental clues which led to the freakish ignorance of the American people. Let us begin with health. We the American people are the most drugged people on the planet. Senior citizens, bar none, are walking chemical experimentation organisms. With or without all the drugs, most seniors still die between the ages of 70 and 80, but the drugs that infect their systems are bizarre chemical cocktails and many are drugged to lethargy and death under the umbrella of humaneness or clinical trials.......

Mexico Scientists Say Flu's Ability to Spread Is 'Fairly Low'

Mexican scientists studying the influenza virus here have found that its ability to spread from person to person is "fairly low" and no more infectious than normal seasonal flu, giving them hope that they can better contain its spread.

Expert says 'just another flu virus,' so why the fear?

In an average flu season, 36,000 Americans die from the flu, according to the Centers for Disease Control. And between 5 to 20 percent of all Americans get the flu.
