The Middle Class in America Is Radically Shrinking. Here Are the Stats to Prove it
Posted Jul 15, 2010 02:25pm EDT by Michael Snyder in Recession
The 22 statistics detailed here prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the middle class is being systematically wiped out of existence in America.
The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer at a staggering rate. Once upon a time, the United States had the largest and most prosperous middle class in the history of the world, but now that is changing at a blinding pace.

AIDS breakthrough: Gel helps prevent infection
Posted on July 19, 2010 at 4:04 PM
For the first time, a vaginal gel has proved capable of blocking the AIDS virus: It cut in half a woman's chances of getting HIV from an infected partner in a study in South Africa. Scientists called it a breakthrough in the long quest for a tool to help women whose partners won't use condoms.
The results need to be confirmed in another study, and that level of protection is probably not enough to win approval of the microbicide gel in countries like the United States, researchers say. But they are optimistic it can be improved.
"We are giving hope to women," who account for most new HIV infections, said Michel Sidibe in a statement. He is executive director of the World Health Organization's UNAIDS program. A gel could "help us break the trajectory of the AIDS epidemic," he said.
And Dr. Anthony Fauci of the U.S. National Institutes of Health said, "It's the first time we've ever seen any microbicide give a positive result" that scientists agree is true evidence of protection.
The gel, spiked with the AIDS drug tenofovir, cut the risk of HIV infection by 50 percent after one year of use and 39 percent after 2 1/2 years, compared to a gel that contained no medicine.
To be licensed in the U.S., a gel or cream to prevent HIV infection may need to be at least 80 percent effective, Fauci said. That might be achieved by adding more tenofovir or getting women to use it more consistently. In the study, women used the gel only 60 percent of the time; those who used it more often had higher rates of protection.

French MPs back burka ban as only ONE votes against bid to outlaw Islamic 'walking coffins'

French MPs back burka ban as only ONE votes against bid to outlaw Islamic 'walking coffins'
French MPs today overwhelmingly voted to ban the burka after a senior minister described it as a ‘walking coffin’ and a ‘muzzle’.
Only one deputy opposed the bill in the National Assembly as 335 other politicians united to show their opposition to Islamic veils which cover a woman’s entire face.
The draft bill, proposed by President Nicholas Sarkozy’s government, will now pass to the Senate where it could be ratified as early as September.
United: Members of the French parliament voted 335-1 in favour of the burka ban
It follows months of debate which saw Immigration Minister Eric Besson describe the burka, which is most often seen in Afghanistan, as a ‘walking coffin’, while Prime Minister Francois Fillon accused wearers of ‘hijacking Islam' and displaying a 'dark sectarian image’.
Recent polls suggested that more than 80 per cent of French people wanted the burka banned, including members of the country’s 5million-strong Muslim population.
Such was the popularity of the measure opposition Socialists and Greens abstained from the vote rather than cast their ballot against it.
Members of far Left groups like the Communists joined Mr Sarkozy’s ruling UMP party in voting for it.

Gordon Murray Design Releases More Info on T.25 City Car
By Jake Holmes
Gordon Murray Design T.25
The tiny-city-car segment may soon get a little more crowded. (Wait—maybe that’s not the right word.) After a heck of a wait, Gordon Murray Design has announced plans to bring the T.25 city car to market within the next few years. The company has now released photos and specifications for the pocket-sized machine.
At 94.5 inches long and 51.2 wide, the T.25 will be a seriously small vehicle. GMD says that three of them will be able to slot into a standard parallel-parking space side-by-side. Planned curb weight is just 1265 pounds. The dimensions mean the T.25 will cast a far smaller footprint than the Smart Fortwo. Indeed, we think the narrow, tall design looks like a cross between the Smart and a Tango electric vehicle. The body is made from recycled plastic and is mounted on a tubular chassis. Both front and rear suspension designs are independent, with non-power-assisted steering and safety tech like ABS and stability control.

Restricted: The niqab was 'bothering the driver in her manoeuvres' according to police
A motorist has been fined for erratic driving caused by her Islamic headscarf, just weeks after a similar incident sparked a major political row.
Police in Vaucluse in southern France stopped the woman after she was spotted driving her vehicle carelessly on the road.
It was then officers noticed the driver was wearing a niqab, a veil that leaves only the eyes exposed, and that her sight was impaired, according to commanding officer Charles Bourillon.
‘[The headscarf] was bothering the driver in her manoeuvres ... It was obvious she could not see a thing,’ he said.
Police gave the driver a ticket for 22 euros (£18) for driving with a reduced field of vision.
Officers then suggested that the woman remove her niqab to improve her sight, which she did.
The Islamic veil has become a political hot potato in France.

The child was then hanged in public in the village of Heratiyan, in the southern Sangin district of Helmand province.

Pedophile gang convicted in Britain...Who is that in the picture? Guess Who....
Submitted by Lola on Mon, 05/24/2010 - 22:17.
EDINBURGH, Scotland, May 8 (UPI) -- A jury in Scotland has found eight members of a pedophile gang guilty of attacks on children, including one involving a 3-month-old infant.
The verdict marks the culmination of an 18-month international police operation code-named Algebra, The Times of London reported Friday.
Detective Superintendent Allan Jones said the case "represented the largest pedophile network ever dismantled in Scotland."
A jury of seven men and seven women saw evidence during the trial that included video images shared among the eight men and a log of Internet chat room conversations revealing the extent to which child sex-abuse had engulfed their lives.
Prosecutors said one of the leaders of the gang, James Rennie, was able to abuse the infant son of close friends without the parents knowing.
Another gang member, Neil Strachan, convicted of abusing two brothers, was found to be HIV positive.
"The anguish I feel towards Mr. Strachan is indescribable," said the mother of the boys.
Sentencing of the eight will take place next month.

Restricted: The niqab was 'bothering the driver in her manoeuvres' according to police
A motorist has been fined for erratic driving caused by her Islamic headscarf, just weeks after a similar incident sparked a major political row.
Police in Vaucluse in southern France stopped the woman after she was spotted driving her vehicle carelessly on the road.
It was then officers noticed the driver was wearing a niqab, a veil that leaves only the eyes exposed, and that her sight was impaired, according to commanding officer Charles Bourillon.
‘[The headscarf] was bothering the driver in her manoeuvres ... It was obvious she could not see a thing,’ he said.
Police gave the driver a ticket for 22 euros (£18) for driving with a reduced field of vision.
Officers then suggested that the woman remove her niqab to improve her sight, which she did.
The Islamic veil has become a political hot potato in France.

She's become a controversial figure thanks to her inane internet ramblings, her apparent drug habit and, of course, the fallout after the death of ex-partner Kurt Cobain.
So this provocative photoshoot starring Courtney Love should come as little surprise considering her carefully cultivated outrageous image.
The 45-year-old rock musician posted a series of near-the-knuckle photographs - which we have edited for reasons of taste - from the shoot on her Facebook page.

Pedophile gang convicted in Britain...Who is that in the picture? Guess Who....
Submitted by Lola on Mon, 05/24/2010 - 22:17.EDINBURGH, Scotland, May 8 (UPI) -- A jury in Scotland has found eight members of a pedophile gang guilty of attacks on children, including one involving a 3-month-old infant.
The verdict marks the culmination of an 18-month international police operation code-named Algebra, The Times of London reported Friday.
Detective Superintendent Allan Jones said the case "represented the largest pedophile network ever dismantled in Scotland."
A jury of seven men and seven women saw evidence during the trial that included video images shared among the eight men and a log of Internet chat room conversations revealing the extent to which child sex-abuse had engulfed their lives.
Prosecutors said one of the leaders of the gang, James Rennie, was able to abuse the infant son of close friends without the parents knowing.
Another gang member, Neil Strachan, convicted of abusing two brothers, was found to be HIV positive.
"The anguish I feel towards Mr. Strachan is indescribable," said the mother of the boys.
Sentencing of the eight will take place next month.

Consumer Watchdog: Shame on YOU Google!!!!
Submitted by Lola on Wed, 05/19/2010 - 17:39.Unbelievable. This past week Google street cars were caught spying on neighborhood WiFi networks. Google's former executive, now the in White House, got reprimanded for his inappropriate emails to the company. The FTC appears to be opening a new investigation into privacy problems at Google.
