May 10, 2013 | BALTIMORE (CN) - Baltimore police beat up a woman and smashed her camera for filming them beating up a man, telling her: "You want to film something bitch? Film this!" the woman claims in court. Makia Smith sued the Baltimore Police Department, Police Commissioner Anthony Batts and police Officers Nathan Church, William Pilkerton, Jr., Nathan Ulmer and Kenneth Campbell in Federal Court. Smith claims she was stuck in stand-still rush hour traffic in northern Baltimore when she saw the defendant officers beating up and arresting a young man. http://www.alternet.org/civil-liberties/cops-beat-woman-filming-another-beating?akid=10423.213180.-3EiBO&rd=1&src=newsletter838447&t=4

I'm, sure that will be a very jolly film, but the title is so unimaginative. What's wrong with 'merican Hitman?

I might change the first one, too much eyebrows!

todays topic is feminism I hope you found these educational. []

It's true that vegetarians do usually have a healthier lifestyle than the general population. Studies of Seventh Day Adventists attempt to resolve this by comparing within a homogenous population other than members being either vegetarian or meat eating. The SDA population has effectively 0 incidence of smoking and very little consumption of alcohol too. In SDA populations the vegetarians still outlive the meat eaters by 3 or 4 years on average and have lower levels of morbidity. every food has carcinogens in them Really, I'd like to see the data behind this claim.

This idea seems to stem from a single study in mice* that's been blown out of all proportions by low-carb fanatics. *http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/cancer-info/news/archive/cancernews/2011-06-17-Too-soon-to-say-whether-low-carb-diet-can-prevent-cancer-or-slow-tumour-growth-

A vegetarian diet could still include a lot of cancer promoting animal products and excessive fat, alcohol is bad news too. It's not just correlation research either, there are now plenty of plausible explanations for how animal products promote cancer.Also wishing for Stefan to make a full and speedy recovery.

After reading that bullcrap you might need to watch this to feel sane again. [View:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_pfgt6R7S8]

From the mouths of traitors, you couldn't make this stuff up. Good grief.

People need to get insured against this kind of outcome and if they are not it's their responsibility. It's nothing to do with anyone else. I guess given that the government would prosecute for abandonment/neglect and of course infanticide if it came to that, then desperate parents will turn to the state like this.

Thanks. How does austerity increase taxes on the poor?

Economic debates rarely end with a T.K.O. But the great policy debate of recent years between Keynesians, who advocate sustaining and, indeed, increasing government spending in a depression, and austerians, who demand immediate spending cuts, comes close — at least in the world of ideas. At this point, the austerian position has imploded; not only have its predictions about the real world failed completely, but the academic research invoked to support that position has turned out to be riddled with errors, omissions and dubious statistics. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/26/opinion/krugman-the-one-percents-solution.html?smid=tw-share&_r=1

The National Union of Teachers has today proposed that MPs should work longer days and that their holidays should be significantly shortened. The changes would see their current 82-day summer break, or nearly 12 weeks, reduced by half to match the time off most workers are entitled to during an entire year. http://www.newsbiscuit.com/2013/04/19/teachers-call-for-longer-working-day-and-shorter-holidays-for-mps/ How about a 52 week a year holiday for politicians, even if it was paid, it would probably be a bargain.

Br Med J (Clin Res Ed). 1981 May 16;282(6276):1595-9. Pertussis immunisation and serious acute neurological illness in children. Miller DL, Ross EM, Alderslade R, Bellman MH, Rawson NS. Abstract The first 1000 cases notified to the National Childhood Encephalopathy Study were analysed. The diagnoses included encephalitis/encephalopathy, prolonged convulsions, infantile spasms, and Reye's syndrome. Eighty-eight of the children had had a recent infectious disease, including 19 with pertussis. Only 35 of the notified children (3.5%) had received pertussis antigen within seven days before becoming ill. Of 1955 control children matched for age, sex, and area of residence, 34 (1.7%) had been immunised with pertussis vaccine within the seven days before the date on which they became of the same age as the corresponding notified child. The relative risk of a notified child having had pertussis immunisation within that time interval was 2.4 (p less than 0.001). Of the 35 notified children, 32 had no previous neurological abnormality. A year later two had died, nine had developmental retardation, and 21 were normal. A significance association was shown between serious neurological illness and pertussis vaccine, though cases were few and most children recovered completely. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6786580

I wonder what the national debt was after all that central planning and welfare?

The Wikipedia writeup is also gushing regarding this master of central planning, not much time is given to any economic negatives: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clement_Attlee

It' possible to be an agnostic atheist in the sense that you 1) don't believe in any deities and 2) don't believe it's possible to have knowledge about the existence or non-existence of deities.

Sure, if you ingest virtually no carbs you can't get hyperglycemic, you get hypoglycemic instead. Why be so evasive, just tell us your numbers. Your chance of having a heart attack are low, perhaps you are under 50?If you are eating a high fat diet your chances of having atherosclerosis are high. Most people eating fatty diets have detectable atheroscerotic lessions developig from their childhood.

Listen to the first minute of the program again. Fat causes blood cells to become sticky and aggregate as was clearly demonstrated at the start of the program. Fat forms a direct physical barrier limiting cellular sugar uptake. If he just ate the bread (no fat), he'd be fine. Conclusion: If you eat too much fat and carbs you get hyperglycemic. Your personal experience is of hypoglycemia because you don't eat the carbs your body needs to function properly. Conclusion: If you eat too much fat and not enough carbs you get hypoglycemic. The healthy thing to do is eat enough carbs and limit fat intake.

That's borderline hypoglycemic, which is also not healthy: "Research in healthy adults shows that mental efficiency declines slightly but measurably as blood glucose falls below 65 mg/dL (3.6 mM) in many people." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoglycemia So hows your cholesterol doing?

Insulin resitance is modulated by fat intake: [View:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_42LfH8veEU] http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/16/5/728 Effects of Age and Body Fat Insulin Resistance in Healthy Men Guenther Boden, MD, Xinhua Chen, MD, Richard A DeSantis, PHD, MD and Zebulon Kendrick, PHD RESULTS Body fat (kg fat mass or in percentage of body weight), rates of insulin-stimulated leg blood flow, glucose uptake, oxidation, and storage were all similar in elderly and younger men. Body fat (in percentage of body weight) of both elderly and younger men correlated closely and negatively with glucose uptake (r = −0.73, P < 0.01), glucose oxidation (r = −0.67, P < 0.05), and with glucose storage (r = −0.65, P < 0.05). In contrast, age did not correlate significantly with any parameter of glucose metabolism. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggested that insulin sensitivity in men until around 60–70 yr of age appears to be determined more by body fat than by age.
