Israel can no longer ignore the existence of the first Holocaust, the Armenian genocide...

While Israelis commemorated the second Holocaust of the 20th century this week, I was in the Gulbenkian library in Jerusalem, holding the printed and handwritten records of the victims of the century's first Holocaust. It was a strange sensation.

The Armenians were not participating in Israel's official ceremonies to remember the six million Jewish dead, murdered by the Germans between 1939 and 1945, perhaps because Israel officially refuses to acknowledge that Armenia's million and a half dead of 1915-1923 were victims of a Turkish Holocaust. Israeli-Turkish diplomatic and military relations are more important than genocide. Or were. More...

French village in row over Marshall Petain potrait...

The inhabitants of a tiny village in Normandy are cocking a typically Gallic snook at political correctness by refusing to remove a portrait of France’s reviled Second World War collaborationist leader Marshall Petain from a wall inside the mairie (the town hall).

On Thursday the local council of Gonneville-sur-Mer upped the stakes in a three-week war of words with the authorities and anti-racist groups, when it released a communique formally rejecting a demand from the préfet – the senior representative of the state – to take down the picture of Philipe Petain.

“You cannot make history disappear just by drawing a veil over it,” the council said in its statement. “We, the local authority, also believe we have a duty to preserve memory.” More...

Climate boss Pachauri uses car AND driver to travel one mile to office... (but he says YOU should use public transport)

He is the climate change chief whose research body produced a report warning that the glaciers in the Himalayas might melt by 2035 and earned a Nobel Prize for his work – so you might expect Dr Rajendra Pachauri to be doing everything he can to reduce his own carbon footprint.

But as controversy continued to simmer last week over the bogus ‘Glaciergate’ claims in a report by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – which he heads – Dr Pachauri showed no apparent inclination to cut global warming in his own back yard.

On Friday, for the one-mile journey from home to his Delhi office, Dr Pachauri could have walked, or cycled, or used the eco-friendly electric car provided for him, known in the UK as G-Wiz. More...

Le gouvernement danois décide de limiter le port du voile intégral...

Après plusieurs mois de travail d'une commission gouvernementale, la droite au pouvoir au Danemark, a décidé jeudi 28 janvier 2010 de limiter le port du noile intégral dans l'espace public, mais sans interdire ce voile intégral, laissant le soin aux écoles, à l'administration et aux entreprises de fixer des règles à ce sujet.

Pas d'interdiction mais une limitation. Le gouvernement annonce dans un communiqué que la burqa et le niqab n'ont pas leur place dans la société danoise, il faut donc en limiter l'usage au maximum. Suite...

Un évêque polonais qualifie la Shoah d'"invention juive"

Un évêque polonais à la retraite, qui fut proche de Jean Paul II, a qualifié lundi sur un site catholique traditionaliste italien «la Shoah en tant que telle (d')invention juive», à deux jours du 65e anniversaire de la libération du camp d'extermination nazi d'Auschwitz.

«S'il est indéniable que la majorité des morts dans les camps de concentration étaient des juifs, dans la liste il y a aussi des tziganes, des Polonais, des Italiens et des catholiques», a déclaré Mgr Tadeusz Pieronek sur le site Pontifex.roma.it.

«Il n'est donc pas permis de s'approprier cette tragédie pour faire de la propagande», a ajouté le prélat de 75 ans, qui fut ami du pape polonais Jean Paul II, en affirmant qu'il «n'est pas historiquement vrai que dans les camps de concentration ce sont seulement des Juifs qui sont morts». «Il y a eu beaucoup de Polonais, mais cette vérité aujourd'hui est souvent ignorée», a-t-il poursuivi.

Sale temps pour Facebook...

L'Europe veut mettre sa législation sur la protection des données privées à l'heure d'internet, une menace potentielle pour les services en ligne tels Facebook où on étale sa vie sans toujours en maîtriser les conséquences.

La commissaire européenne Viviane Reding, qui s'apprête à troquer le portefeuille des nouvelles technologies contre celui de la justice, a annoncé cette semaine une révision prochaine de l'actuelle directive (loi) européenne sur la protection des données. Celle-ci date de 1995, avant l'essor d'internet. Et depuis "le monde a changé", a souligné la commissaire, évoquant notamment les réseaux sociaux tel Facebook ou le profilage des internautes à des fins publicitaires. Suite...

Haïti: 10 Américains soupçonnés d'avoir volés 31 enfants...

Dix ressortissants américains soupçonnés d'avoir "volé" 31 enfants âgés de 2 mois à 12 ans, ont été arrêtés vendredi en Haïti, plus de deux semaines après le séisme, a annoncé samedi à l'AFP le ministre des Affaires sociales et du Travail, Yves Christallin.

Les dix personnes appréhendées, cinq hommes et cinq femmes, ont été appréhendées, en compagnie de 31 enfants, âgés de 2 mois à 12 ans, à proximité de la frontière dominicaine par un commissaire de police haïtien, a précisé le ministre. "C'est un vol, ce n'est pas une adoption", a affirmé le ministre, précisant que "pour quitter Haïti un enfant a besoin d'une autorisation de l'Institut du bien-être social qui s'occupe des cas d'adoption".

US citizens held for abducting children in Haiti...

Haitian police were holding 10 US citizens Sunday on suspicion they tried to slip out of the country with 31 Haitian children in a trafficking scheme, a government minister said.

Haitian Social Affairs Minister Yves Christallin said the police arrested five men and five women with US passports, and two Haitians, as they tried to cross into the Dominican Republic with the children Friday night.

He said two pastors were also involved, one in Haiti and one in Atlanta, Georgia.

Australia is the most sinful nation on earth!!! Hilarious...

WHEN it comes to committing sin, Australians have been declared world champions.

In the latest issue of BBC Focus magazine, British researchers number-crunched the global differences in the seven deadly sins and found, when you add up the wrongdoings, Australia is at the top.

The article, which argues that people are "bad" by nature, has found social data to compare nations under the categories of wrath, sloth, pride, lust, greed, gluttony and envy.

To determine a nation's quota of wrath, the researchers examined levels of violent crime by comparing incidents of assault, rape and murder per 1000 people. More...

Fisk: Why does the US turn a blind eye to Israeli bulldozers?

"Palestine" is no more. Call it a "peace process" or a "road map"; blame it on Barack Obama's weakness, his pathetic, childish admission – like an optimistic doctor returning a sick child to its parents without hope of recovery – that a Middle East peace was "more difficult" to reach than he imagined.

But the dream of a "two-state" Israeli-Palestinian solution, a security-drenched but noble settlement to decades of warfare between Israelis and Palestinians is as good as dead.

Both the United States and Europe now stand idly by while the Israeli government effectively destroys any hope of a Palestinian state; even as you read these words, Israel's bulldozers and demolition orders are destroying the last chance of peace; not only in the symbolic centre of Jerusalem itself but – strategically, far more important – in 60 per cent of the vast, biblical lands of the occupied West Bank, in that largest sector in which Jews now outnumber Muslims two to one.

Polish priest checks congregation for ... fingerprints!!!

A Polish priest has installed an electronic reader in his church for schoolchildren to leave their fingerprints in order to monitor their attendance at mass, the Gazeta Wyborcza daily said on Friday.

The pupils will mark their fingerprints every time they go to church over three years and if they attend 200 masses they will be freed from the obligation of having to pass an exam prior to their confirmation, the paper said.

Bin Laden now talking about ... global warming??? What next? Swine flu?

Terror chief Osama bin Laden sought to draw a wider public into his fight against the US in a new message, dropping his usual talk of religion and holy war and focusing instead on an unexpected topic - global warming.

The al Qaida leader blamed the US and other industrialised nations for climate change and said the only way to prevent disaster was to break the American economy, calling on the world to boycott US goods and stop using the dollar. 

"The effects of global warming have touched every continent. Drought and deserts are spreading, while from the other floods and hurricanes unseen before the previous decades have now become frequent," bin Laden said in the tape, aired on the Arab TV network Al-Jazeera. More...

India warns its students to stay away from Australia...

The Indian government has officially asked students to avoid Australia for now. "The advisory put out to the Indians is to be careful and not to go at the moment for further studies," says Parneet Kaur, Minister of State, External Affairs.

The warning comes after Thursday's reports about 10 more Indians attacked in separate cases in Brisbane and Melbourne. (Read: OZ envoy summoned after 10 Indians attacked)

Pilger: the kidnapping of Haiti by America's comedians...

The theft of Haiti has been swift and crude. On 22 January, the United States secured “formal approval” from the United Nations to take over all air and sea ports in Haiti, and to “secure” roads. No Haitian signed the agreement, which has no basis in law. Power rules in an American naval blockade and the arrival of 13,000 marines, special forces, spooks and mercenaries, none with humanitarian relief training.

The airport in the capital, Port-au-Prince, is now an American military base and relief flights have been re-routed to the Dominican Republic. All flights stopped for three hours for the arrival of Hillary Clinton. Critically injured Haitians waited unaided as 800 American residents in Haiti were fed, watered and evacuated. Six days passed before the US Air Force dropped bottled water to people suffering thirst and dehydration. More...

Pork is better than Viagra, says Argentina's President!!!

"I've just been told something I didn't know; that eating pork improves your sex life ... I'd say it's a lot nicer to eat a bit of barbecued piglet than take Viagra" Cristina Kirchner said to leaders of the pig farming industry.

She said she recently ate pork and spent a satisfying weekend with her husband and former president Nestor Kirchner. “The crusty skin of the piglet was excellent; then things went very well that weekend, so it could well be true."

According to Cristina she spent “a fantastic, fantastic weekend”. But “oops, should not have said that, Kirchner is going to kill me when I get back to Olivos (presidential residence)”. More...

Pakistan's president sacrifices a black goat daily against "evil eye..."

 A black goat is slaughtered almost daily to ward off ‘evil eyes’ and protect President Asif Ali Zardari from ‘black magic’. Does this, and the use of camel and goat milk, make the beleaguered president appear to be a superstitious man?

Well, not to his spokesman. “It has been an old practice of Mr Zardari to offer Sadqa (animal sacrifice). He has been doing this for a long time,” spokesman Farhatullah Babar told Dawn on Tuesday.

But his detractors, who want to see him out of the Presidency, would see in his new-found religiosity a sign of nervousness in the wake of the scrapping of the NRO. More...

Zabaleen,the garbage collectors of Egypt...

Nestling haphazardly at the foot of Cairo’s Moqattam mountain, eclipsed by the impressive Monastery of Saint Samaán with its daily influx of worshippers, pilgrims and wealthy tourists, this remarkable community quietly and diligently goes about its business of gathering and recycling the immense tonnage of solid waste produced by the Arab world’s most populous state.

Socially ostracized, discriminated against and facing cool disregard from the authorities, this community of an estimated 60 – 70,000 Coptic Christians migrated from remote regions of Egypt in the 1950’s, settling on low-value land on Cairo’s eastern edge. Now known as the Zabaleen, an Arabic phrase which means quite literally “garbage people”, the community has evolved into a hardworking and self-sustaining people offering an informal yet highly-organised service to homes and businesses throughout the city. For generations, garbage has represented an asset to them as they have pursued the invaluable harvesting and hand-sorting of the 15,000 tonnes of rotting domestic refuse produced every day by the city’s 17.8 million residents.

'Catcher in the Rye' author J.D. Salinger is dead...

J.D. Salinger, the legendary author, youth hero and fugitive from fame whose "The Catcher in the Rye" shocked and inspired a world he increasingly shunned, has died. He was 91.

Salinger died of natural causes at his home on Wednesday, the author's son said in a statement from Salinger's literary representative. He had lived for decades in self-imposed isolation in the small, remote house in Cornish, N.H.

"The Catcher in the Rye," with its immortal teenage protagonist, the twisted, rebellious Holden Caulfield, came out in 1951, a time of anxious, Cold War conformity and the dawn of modern adolescence. The Book-of-the-Month Club, which made "Catcher" a featured selection, advised that for "anyone who has ever brought up a son" the novel will be "a source of wonder and delight — and concern."

Irishman urinated on supermarket French loaves as revenge on Thierry Henry handball!!! "This will teach ye, ye cheating French bastards..."

A drunken unemployed plasterer who was found urinating on the French loaves section of a large supermarket in protest at the infamous handball incident in the France vs Ireland World Cup qualifier, was this week given a suspended sentence, fined and bound over to keep the peace.

Frances "Smokie" Larkin, The Meadows, Killareagh, Co Roscommon pleaded guilty to the incident at Maher's ValueStore supermarket, Killareagh, one week after the match which Ireland controversially drew after the French goal was deemed to have scored despite a blatant handball by French striker Thierry Henry.

Rwandans turn to yoga for trauma therapy...

Fluorescent sandals litter the entrance to a church on the outskirts of Rwanda's undulating capital Kigali. A coffee-colored river slithers by in the valley below.

On the floor, a dozen middle-aged women sit contorted in knots, wearing puckered expressions which explode into wide smiles, accompanied by a chorus of giggles - a rare spectacle in a culture known for its quiet reservation.

In the dappled gloom Seraphine recounts how, while seeking refuge in a similar church 16 years ago, soldiers beat her with a boy's severed arm - just one of many events which has caused over a decade of paralyzing trauma and depression.

She says yoga helped her deal with the shock of witnessing and surviving genocide. More...

100-year-old woman gets degree a day before dying!!! Wow!

It was Harriet Richardson Ames' dream to earn her bachelor's degree in education. She finally reached that milestone, nearly three weeks after achieving another: her 100th birthday.

On Saturday, the day after receiving her diploma at her bedside, the retired schoolteacher died, pleased that she had accomplished her goal, her daughter said. Ames had been in hospice care.

"She had what I call a 'bucket list,' and that was the last thing on it," Marjorie Carpenter said Tuesday.
Ames, who turned 100 on Jan. 2, had earned a two-year teaching certificate in 1931 at Keene Normal School, now Keene State College. She taught in a one-room schoolhouse in South Newbury, and later spent 20 years as a teaching principal at Memorial School in Pittsfield, where she taught first-graders. More...

What's really going on in Haiti? Some disturbing questions...

People of goodwill everywhere are rightly sympathetic to the plight of hundreds of thousands of innocent Haitians in the aftermath of the terrible earthquake that rocked the island country. Private donations and volunteer efforts are pouring into Haiti from all over the globe--especially from the United States. This is a good thing, right? So, why am I troubled?

Simply put, I cannot remember such an all-out "relief effort" by our nation's military and government forces following a natural disaster anywhere--ever! Not even New Orleans, Louisiana, and surrounding Gulf Coast communities here in the homeland received the kind of attention from Washington, D.C., that Haiti is receiving.

According to Agence France-Press (AFP), "The US military is ramping up its mission in quake-hit Haiti, with 20,000 US troops expected to operate on ground and offshore by Sunday [January 24], the US commander overseeing the region said." More...

Auschwitz survivor says Israel dehumanizes Palestinians "just like the Nazis dehumanized me..."

A Nazi death camp survivor slams Israel over its occupation of Palestine, drawing an analogy between the Israeli army's indignations and the conduct of Nazi forces during World War II.

"The Israelis tried to dehumanize the Palestinians, just like the Nazis tried to dehumanize me," said Dr Hajo Meyer, 86, who survived 10 months in Auschwitz Nazi concentration camp in Poland.

"Nobody should dehumanize any other and those who try to dehumanize another are not human," he said at the beginning of his lecture in Scotland.

The octogenarian Holocaust survivor, who embarked on a 10-day tour of the UK and Ireland, called Israel "the world champion in pretending to be civilized and cultured." More...

German homeschooling family granted political asylum in the USA...

A German couple who fled to Tennessee so they could homeschool their children was granted political asylum Tuesday by a U.S. immigration judge, according to the legal group that represented them.
The decision clears the way for Uwe Romeike (roh-MY-kee), his wife and five children to stay in Morristown, Tenn., where they have been living since 2008. Romeike says his family was persecuted for their evangelical Christian beliefs and for homeschooling their children in Germany, where school attendance is compulsory.
When the Romeikes wouldn't comply with repeated orders to send the children to school, police came to their home one October morning in 2006 and took the children to school. German state constitutions require children to attend public or private schools and parents can face fines or prison time if they don't comply. Full story...

Indonesia to sell tigers as pets to the rich...

The Indonesian government has announced plans to sell tigers as pets for £67,000 a pair in what it claims is a move to protect the critically endangered species.

However, environmental groups have criticised the scheme as a money-making scam that will do nothing to save tigers, which face an increased risk from poachers on the eve of the Chinese Year of the Tiger.

Three people have already applied to follow in the footsteps of Michael Jackson and Mike Tyson and keep a tiger as a pet. More...

Christians attack 'marital affair' billboards...

Churchgoers have launched a campaign against advertisements for an extramarital dating service, after the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) refused to intervene.

A Facebook group, Stop marital affair.co.uk advertising publicly in the UK, has gained more than 1,000 members in its first two days.

Jon Kuhrt, who works for a Christian charity in London, created the protest group after the ASA declined to act on his complaint about a billboard in Merton which read: "HELLO GIRLS. Get instant excitement at MARITALAFFAIR.co.uk."

The advertisement, which also featured a picture of a man with no shirt on and a bra slung over his shoulder, are for a website which claims to deliver "uncomplicated adult fun" for "bored housewives looking for a bit on the side". More...

Despite attacks, Indians queueing to become Australian citizens...

Despite all the reports of violence against Indians, hundreds of them are becoming Australian citizens, making India the third most represented country, followed by Britain and China, for people receiving their citizenship.

Alisha D'Souza and her twin sister, Binaisha, 19, could not contain their excitement as they took their oath at a citizenship ceremony on Tuesday at Brimbank City Council, the second largest municipality in Melbourne.

"We feel privileged to have been granted citizenship and to be more a part of this multi-cultural society. It took some time to adjust, but now we call this home. Australians are very accepting of different cultures, they tend to be more laid back and love sports. Our parents felt that it would provide us with better opportunities," Alisha, who is doing a Bachelor of Commerce degree at Melbourne University said.

Malaysian badminton star wants divorce because "no sexual satisfaction" from wife...

Roslin Hashim is making a bid to claim financial losses from the 12-day marriage to his ex-wife. The reason: He was unable to get sexual satisfaction from her.

The national badminton player won Round One of his bid Monday after his former wife, Faizah Mohamad, failed to set aside Roslin's claim of RM53,460 in losses from their short marriage after the Syariah High Court here dismissed her preliminary objection.

In handing down his decision, judge Mohd Radzi Abd Latif ordered that the case be tried and fixed March 23 and March 24 for the hearing which would be held in a closed-court, Bernama reported. More...

UN wrongly linked global warming to natural disasters!!! Wrongly?

THE United Nations climate science panel faces new controversy for wrongly linking global warming to an increase in the number and severity of natural disasters such as hurricanes and floods.

It based the claims on an unpublished report that had not been subjected to routine scientific scrutiny — and ignored warnings from scientific advisers that the evidence supporting the link too weak. The report's own authors later withdrew the claim because they felt the evidence was not strong enough.

The claim by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), that global warming is already affecting the severity and frequency of global disasters, has since become embedded in political and public debate. It was central to discussions at last month's Copenhagen climate summit, including a demand by developing countries for compensation of $100 billion (£62 billion) from the rich nations blamed for creating the most emissions.

Tamil actress Kushboo's remarks on virginity and pre-marital sex under scrutiny...

A four-year-old statement of south-Indian film actress Khusboo on pre-marital sex and virginity came under adverse light in the Supreme Court, which on Tuesday questioned her on the necessity for such an "extensive wise comment".

When her counsel, senior advocate Pinky Anand, read out a portion of her interview to a magazine whose translated version in a Tamil newspaper created furore and led to filing of 23 cases against her all over the country, the court wanted to know the exact sequence of the question and answer and asked the counsel to supply it in two weeks.

Anand said Khusboo had only asked questions about pre-marital sex and AIDS. Terming these as part of her right to freedom of speech and expression, she read out a part of the interview -- "none of the educated people will insist that their bride be a virgin". More...

Haïti regorge de pétrole, affirment deux scientifiques...

Les scientifiques Daniel et Ginette Mathurin indiquent que le sous sol haïtien est riche en hydrocarbures et en combustibles fossible qui ont été répertoriés par des spécialistes étrangers et haïtiens. " Nous avons relevé 20 sites pétrolifères ", lance Daniel Mathurin précisant que 5 d’entre eux sont jugés de grande importance par les spécialistes et les politiques.

Le Plateau central, notamment la région de Thomonde, la plaine du cul-de-sac et la baie de Port-au-Prince regorgent d’hydrocarbures, dit-il ajoutant que les réserves pétrolifères d’Haïti sont plus importantes que ceux du Vénézuela. " Une piscine olympique comparée à un verre d’eau voilà la comparaison pour montrer l’importance des gisements de pétrole haïtien comparés à ceux du Vénézuela", explique t-il.

Le Vénézuéla est l’un des plus grands producteurs mondiaux de pétrole. Suite...

Une adolescente saoudienne a été condamnée à 90 coups de fouet et deux mois de prison pour avoir agressé un professeur, a affirmé un juge saoudien, dont les propos ont été publiés dimanche dans le quotidien saoudien Al-Watan.

Selon Amnesty International, l'agression s'est produite après que la jeune fille eut été surprise avec un téléphone portable équipé d'un appareil photo à l'école. Elle pourrait être épargnée si le roi Abdallah lui accorde sa grâce, a précisé le juge Riyad al-Meihdib.

Invasion et occupation militaire sous couvert d’aide humanitaire à Haïti?

De nombreux leaders latino-américains continuent à dénoncer l’invasion et l’occupation sous couvert d’aide humanitaire.

Le dirigeant cubain Fidel Castro a dénoncé dimanche le déploiement de milliers de soldats américains à Haïti, dévasté par un séisme, et déploré le silence de l'ONU sur cette "occupation" qui ne fait, selon lui, que compliquer encore la situation dans ce pays.

"Au milieu de la tragédie haïtienne, sans que personne ne sache comment ni pourquoi, des milliers de soldats des unités des Marines des Etats-Unis, des troupes aéroportées de la 82e Division et d'autres forces militaires ont occupé le territoire d'Haïti", écrit l'ancien président cubain dans un communiqué sur le site internet officiel Cubadebate.cu.

La consommation de viande de chat ou de chien, répandue dans le pays car elle est censée favoriser une bonne température corporelle, pourrait valoir aux Chinois une amende de 5 000 yuans (500 euros) et jusqu'à 15 jours de prison, a rapporté le Chongqing Evening News. Suite...

L'analyse critique des processus de décision dans cette affaire est désormais indispensable pour en tirer des enseignements. Face à des systèmes de santé en déficit chronique, l'analyse du rapport coût/bénéfice des choix de santé va s'imposer de plus en plus, y compris dans les pays riches. Suite...

Interdire les minarets pour contenir l’islam...

Le résultat du vote du 29 novembre 2009 ne s’explique pas par la xénophobie des Suisses, indique le traditionnel sondage qui suit les votes populaires (analyse Vox). Ainsi, environ 40% des citoyens qui se prononcent d’habitude pour l’égalité des chances entre Suisses et étrangers se sont prononcés pour une interdiction des minarets.

«Pour beaucoup de ceux qui ont participé au scrutin, il ne s’agissait pas d’un vote contre les musulmans», a expliqué le politologue Hans Hirter de l’Université de Berne, lundi lors de la présentation des résultats de l’analyse Vox. En effet, bien que 57% des votants aient approuvé l’interdiction, le sondage montre en même temps qu’environ deux tiers des citoyens estiment que les modes de vie des musulmans et des Suisses sont compatibles.

Malaysian couple cheated of US$ 200,000 put in coffin on "bomoh's" advice!!!

A bomoh and his male accomplice suspected to be involved in a RM750,000 scam were arrested on Friday in swift action by the police from the Commercial Crime Investigation Department.

The mode of operation of the duo was to ask their victim to ‘deposit’ some money into a small coffin, to supposedly enable any sickness or disease to be cured.

The suspects, aged 35 and 47, were picked up at their homes at 11th Mile and 3rd Mile here respectively after an investigation led by Kuching Commercial Crime head ASP Dzulkarnain Hazmi. More...

Swiss minaret ban was a “symbolic gesture”

Voters who supported a people’s initiative to ban minarets last November wanted to make a symbolic gesture against the spread of Islam in Switzerland.

A survey of voters carried out by Swiss universities found, however, that the majority in favour of a ban was not equivalent to overall rejection of Muslims in Switzerland.

On November 29, 57.5% of votes cast were in favour of the people's initiative, much to general surprise. Switzerland is the first European country to forbid the construction of minarets. More...

Want to live in the world's happiest country? Go to Costa Rica...

Hmmm. You think it’s a coincidence? Costa Rica is one of the very few countries to have abolished its army, and it’s also arguably the happiest nation on earth.

There are several ways of measuring happiness in countries, all inexact, but this pearl of Central America does stunningly well by whatever system is used. For example, the World Database of Happiness, compiled by a Dutch sociologist on the basis of answers to surveys by Gallup and others, lists Costa Rica in the top spot out of 148 nations.

That’s because Costa Ricans, asked to rate their own happiness on a 10-point scale, average 8.5. Denmark is next at 8.3, the United States ranks 20th at 7.4 and Togo and Tanzania bring up the caboose at 2.6. More...

California schools ban dictionary ... because it contains "oral sex" entry!!! Nanny state lunacy...

Dictionaries have been removed from classrooms in southern California schools after a parent complained about a child reading the definition for "oral sex".

Merriam Webster's 10th edition, which has been used for the past few years in fourth and fifth grade classrooms (for children aged nine to 10) in Menifee Union school district, has been pulled from shelves over fears that the "sexually graphic" entry is "just not age appropriate", according to the area's local paper.
The dictionary's online definition of the term is "oral stimulation of the genitals". "It's hard to sit and read the dictionary, but we'll be looking to find other things of a graphic nature," district spokeswoman Betti Cadmus told the paper. More...
