<p style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Buried
deep inside the ... economic stimulus bill ... is some bitter medicine for
companies that have received financial bailout funds. Over staunch objections
from the Obama administration, Senate Democrats inserted a provision that would
impose restrictions on executive bonuses at financial institutions that are
much tougher than those proposed 10 days ago by the Treasury Department. The
provisions would prohibit cash bonuses and almost all other incentive
compensation for the five most-senior officers and the 20 highest-paid
executives at large companies that receive money under TARP. The restriction
with the most bite would bar top executives from receiving bonuses that exceed
one-third of their annual pay. The provision, written by Sen. Chris Dodd,
D-Conn., highlighted the growing wrath ... over the lavish compensation that
top Wall Street firms and big banks awarded to senior executives at the same
time that many of the companies, teetering on the brink of insolvency, received
taxpayer-paid bailouts. <strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>"The
decisions of certain Wall Street executives to enrich themselves at the expense
of taxpayers have seriously undermined public confidence,"</span></strong>
Dodd said Friday. <strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>"These
tough new rules will help ensure that taxpayer dollars no longer effectively
subsidize lavish Wall Street bonuses."</span></strong> Top economic
advisers to President Obama adamantly opposed the pay restrictions, according

<p style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>What
allowed some people to see the financial crash coming while so many others
missed its gathering force? I put that question recently to Nouriel Roubini,
who has come to be known as "Dr. Doom" because of his insistent
warnings starting in 2006 that we were heading into a global firestorm. Roubini
gave two kinds of answers. The first involves standard number-crunching of the
sort that economists routinely do -- and that Roubini just did better and
sooner. It's his second answer that's more interesting, because it goes to the
heart of what we should take away from this crisis: Roubini decided to discard
the assumption of market rationality that underlies most economics and to
embrace the psychological insights of what's known as "behavioral
economics." <strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Everyone
else had those same numbers. Why did Roubini act? The answer is that he decided
to trust his gut, which told him there was trouble ahead, rather than Wall
Street's "wisdom of the crowd," which -- as reflected in stock prices
-- said everything was rosy.</span></strong> He concluded that the markets were
not pricing in the degree of risk that was actually present in housing.
"The rational man theory of economics has not worked," Roubini said
last month at a session of the World Economic Forum at Davos. That's why he and
other prominent economists are paying more attention to behavioral economics,
which starts from the premise that economic decisions, like other aspects of
human behavior, are influenced by irrational psychological factors.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the first time since the end of the Cold War, the Army is updating its plans
for electronic warfare, calling for more use of high-powered microwaves, lasers
and infrared beams to attack enemy targets and control angry crowds. The
112-page manual, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press ...
doesn't offer specifics on new equipment or gadgetry but lays out in broad
terms the Army's fear that without new equipment and training, U.S. forces may
be at a deadly disadvantage. Army patrols currently rely on specially trained
Air Force and Navy members whose electronic expertise helps sniff out
improvised explosive devices, which have killed more than 1,700 U.S. troops
since the war began. The Army sees the need for a new system more finely tuned
to its purposes. The new doctrine directs the Army, which has put a premium on
fighting insurgents in Iraq's most populous cities, to use technology that can
distinguish enemy threats from common technologies such as radios or cell
phones used by civilians or friendly forces. <strong><span style='font-family:

directed-energy weapons, which would produce a concentrated beam of

<p style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>In
August 2006, almost five years after the catastrophic attacks of Sept. 11,
2001, a poll by Scripps Howard and Ohio University found that 36 percent of
respondents thought it "very likely" or "somewhat likely"
that officials of the federal government "either participated in the
attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon or took no action to stop
them." The poll also found that those who regularly use the Internet but
do not habitually consult mainstream media "are significantly more likely
to believe in 9/11 conspiracies." Kathryn S. Olmsted, in her exquisitely
researched and annotated new book <a
href="http://www.amazon.com/Real-Enemies-Conspiracy-Theories-Democracy/dp/0195183533/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235924345&sr=1-1"><em><span
style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Real Enemies: Conspiracy Theories and
American Democracy, World War I to 9/11</span></em></a>, points out that
although such views "may seem to belong to the fringe," they are held
by millions of Americans and a majority of those between the ages of 18 and 29.
In fact, <strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Olmsted asserts
that the tendency to see conspiracies everywhere "long ago spread from the
margins into the main body of American political culture," and that the
quelling of political dissent is an exacerbating factor</span></strong>. She
has set out to track the history and patterning of conspiratorial beliefs as
they relate to politics and public policy. Her thesis — that conspiracy
theories thrive in part because the government has misled the public or acted
illegally and covertly, and been caught at it frequently enough to make them
credible — is a disconcerting one. But the historical detail she marshals
(which demonstrates a tendency for fusion of far-left and far-right political
views) is persuasive in its cumulative power.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>For
years, the juvenile court system in Wilkes-Barre [PA] operated like a conveyor
belt: Youngsters were brought before judges without a lawyer, given hearings
that lasted only a minute or two, and then sent off to juvenile prison for
months for minor offenses. The explanation, prosecutors say, was corruption on
the bench. In one of the most shocking cases of courtroom graft on record, two
Pennsylvania judges have been charged with taking millions of dollars in
kickbacks to send teenagers to two privately run youth detention centers. <strong><span
style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>“I’ve never encountered, and I don’t
think that we will in our lifetimes, a case where literally thousands of kids’
lives were just tossed aside in order for a couple of judges to make some
money,”</span></strong> said Marsha Levick, an attorney with the
Philadelphia-based <a href="http://www.jlc.org/">Juvenile Law Center</a>, which
is representing hundreds of youths sentenced in Wilkes-Barre. Prosecutors say
Luzerne County Judges Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan took $2.6 million in
payoffs to put juvenile offenders in lockups run by PA Child Care LLC and a
sister company, Western PA Child Care LLC. The judges were charged on Jan. 26
and removed from the bench by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court shortly afterward.
The high court ... is looking into whether hundreds or even thousands of
sentences should be overturned. Among the offenders were teenagers who were
locked up for months for stealing loose change from cars, writing a prank note
and possessing drug paraphernalia. Many had never been in trouble before. Some
were imprisoned even after probation officers recommended against it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

co-authors of the most extraordinary UFO report ever ignored by the media
aren’t expecting much [coverage]. Robert Powell and Glenn Schulze, who produced
“Stephenville Lights: A Comprehensive Radar and Witness Study Regarding the
Events of January 8, 2008” last summer for the Mutual UFO Network, continue to
troll the bureaucracies for more data. Their analysis of radar returns from
five civilian sites in the Stephenville, Tex., vicinity put the military into a
jam after eyewitnesses reported a mammoth UFO being chased by F-16s. Responding
to FOIA requests, authorities have a) surrendered only redacted flight logs of
the 457th Fighter Squadron jets in the air that night, b) claim they have no
military radar records of that incident, and c) offer no explanation for why
their planes exited their military operating area on what they’ve described as
routine training missions. <strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Powell
doubts a serious search was made for his request. “For the trickle-down flow of
information to work,” he says, “you have to have a push on top of that
executive order. If there’s no pressure on them to do their jobs, they don’t
have to pay attention.” </span></strong>In Littleton, Colo., Schulze has moved
on. Sort of. He’s working on radar records for three additional UFO incidents,
one of them involving yet another sighting over Stephenville on 10/23/08.
Multiple witnesses, nighttime sighting, F-16s nearby, etc. Schulze calls it
Stephenville II.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Heins ... has invented a technology that he says will put out more energy than
it consumes. His invention, he boldly claims, offers a way to make electric
cars that can travel hundreds of kilometres from the energy in a small,
inexpensive battery. The Star <a
href="http://www.thestar.com/Business/article/300042" target="_blank">first
profiled Heins</a> and his controversial invention a year ago. In a nutshell,
he had figured out a way to eliminate the electromagnetic friction that
typically limits the performance of an electrical generator – an effect known
as “Back EMF.” Not only that, but he also learned how to redirect that magnetic
energy so that, instead of causing resistance, it gave an electrical motor
connected to the generator a significant boost. The result, as far as Heins was
concerned, violated Lenz’s law or what’s often called the law of diminishing
returns. For many, that equates to a perpetual motion machine, an impossible
claim in the conventional field of physics. <strong><span style='font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif"'>Within no time the story spread globally across the
Internet, became chatter on blogs, and triggered a flood of email to this
reporter’s inbox – some praising Heins for his determination, others calling
the Star irresponsible for giving credibility to his claim. The story, love it
or hate it, was the second-most read article on TheStar.com in 2008.</span></strong>
Much has happened over the past 12 months. Through his Ottawa-based company
Potential Difference Inc., Heins has been in serious talks with a designer of
small wind turbines in Montreal, a senior engineer from a large utility in
Turkey, and a small manufacturer of electrical equipment in Toronto.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Decades
after a notorious experiment, scientists have found test subjects are still
willing to inflict pain on others - if told to by an authority figure. US
researchers repeated the famous "Milgram test", with volunteers told
to deliver electrical shocks to another volunteer - played by an actor. Even
after faked screams of pain, 70% were prepared to increase the voltage, the <em><span
style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>American Psychologist</span></em>
study found. Both may help explain why apparently ordinary people can commit
atrocities. Dr Jerry Burger, of Santa Clara University, used a [format similar
to Milgram's], although he did not allow the volunteers to carry on beyond 150
volts after they had shown their willingness to do so, suggesting that the
distress caused to the original volunteers had been too great. Again, however,
the vast majority of the 29 men and 41 women taking part were willing to push
the button knowing it would cause pain to another human. Even when another
actor entered the room and questioned what was happening, most were still prepared
to continue. He told Reuters:<strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>
"What we found is validation of the same argument - if you put people in
certain situations, they will act in surprising and maybe often even disturbing
ways." He said that it was not that there was "something wrong"
with the volunteers, but that when placed under pressure, people will often do
"unsettling" things.</span></strong> Even though it was difficult to
translate laboratory work to the real world, he said, it might partly explain
why, in times of conflict, people could take part in genocide.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

wanted to know if ordinary people today would still follow orders, even if they
believed their actions were causing someone else pain. Would as many follow the
seemingly dangerous and painful orders as in the original experiment [conducted
by Stanley Milgram at Yale in 1963]? After contacting respected psychologist
Jerry Burger at Santa Clara University in California, ABC News was able to
replicate Milgram's study in a modified way. Burger said, "People have
often asked the question, 'Would we find these kinds of results today?' and
some people try to dismiss the Milgram findings by saying, 'That's something
that happened back in the '60s. People aren't like that anymore.'" In ABC
News' version of the Milgram experiment, <strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>we
tested 18 men, and found that 65 percent of them agreed to administer
increasingly painful electric shocks when ordered by an authority figure. 22
women signed up for our experiment. Even though most people said that women
would be less likely to inflict pain on the learner, a surprising 73 percent
yielded to the orders of the experimenter.</span></strong> Out of the 30 people
we tested with an additional accomplice acting as a moral guide, 63 percent
still inflicted electric shocks, even though the accomplice refused to go on.
Our subjects had an unusually high level of education. 22.9 percent had some
college, 40 percent had bachelor's degrees and 20 percent had master's degrees.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>In
the midst of the California energy troubles in early 2001, when power plants
were under a federal order to deliver a full output of electricity, the Enron
Corporation arranged to take a plant off-line on the same day that California
was hit by rolling blackouts, according to audiotapes of company traders. The
tapes and memorandums were made public by a small public utility north of
Seattle that is fighting Enron over a power contract. They also showed that <strong><span
style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Enron, as early as 1998, was creating
artificial energy shortages and running up prices in Canada in advance of
California's larger experiment with deregulation. The tapes provide new details
of market manipulation during the California energy crisis</span></strong> that
produced blackouts and billions of dollars of surcharges to homes and
businesses on the West Coast in 2000 and 2001. In one January 2001 telephone
tape of an Enron trader the public utility identified as Bill Williams and a
Las Vegas energy official identified only as Rich, an agreement was made to
shut down a power plant providing energy to California. The shutdown was set
for an afternoon of peak energy demand. The next day, Jan. 17, 2001, as the
plant was taken out of service, the State of California called a power
emergency, and rolling blackouts hit up to a half-million consumers, according
to daily logs of the western power grid. Officials with the Snohomish County
Public Utility District in Washington State, which released the tapes, said
they believed Enron officials had taken similar measures with other power
plants. This tape, they said, was proof of what was going on.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The
United States succeeded today in ousting the director of the global agency
charged with ridding the world of chemical weapons after an intense diplomatic
campaign that made a number of countries uncomfortable. José M. Bustani, a
Brazilian diplomat who was unanimously re-elected last year as the director
general of the 145-nation Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons,
was voted out of office today after refusing repeated demands by the United
States that he step down. ''I clearly made some people in Washington very
uncomfortable because I was too independent,'' Mr. Bustani said afterward.
''They want somebody more obedient.'' Diplomats said ... it had opened the door
further for other international bodies to come under attack. <strong><span
style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The United States, which is
responsible for 22 percent of the agency's budget, had threatened to cut off
funding until Mr. Bustani left. ''I think a lot of people swallowed this
because they thought it was better for Bustani to be removed than have the U.S.
pull out and see the organization collapse,''</span></strong> said one European
diplomat at the meeting. The firing of Mr. Bustani follows the removal last
week of Robert Watson, a British-born climatologist who had been outspoken on
the threat of global warming, as the chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change. He was removed after pressure from Washington and at least one
American oil company.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
