Moritz Kraemer: Is the Euro Headed for a Breakup? -- But divergence in creditworthiness is hardly a phenomenon created by the economic crisis: For example, euro-zone sovereign ratings assigned by Standard & Poor's had begun to move apart around five years ago, following downgrades of Italy, Portugal and Greece. Today, investors and commentators appear to be asking more fundamental questions, going to the core of the euro project. Once the preserve of fringe political commentators, speculation about the possibility of a euro-zone break-up has now crept into mainstream economic and political debate.
Willem Buiter warns of massive dollar collapse -- He said that the dollar had been kept elevated in recent years by what some called "dark matter" or "American alpha" - an assumption that the US could earn more on its overseas investments than foreign investors could make on their American assets. However, this notion had been gradually dismantled in recent years, before being dealt a fatal blow by the current financial crisis, he said. "The past eight years of imperial overstretch, hubris and domestic and international abuse of power on the part of the Bush administration has left the US materially weakened financially, economically, politically and morally," he said. "Even the most hard-nosed, Guantanamo Bay-indifferent potential foreign investor in the US must recognize that its financial system has collapsed."
Surveillance Society: Negative Aspects Of Government Data Mining -- The collected information is often analyzed by law enforcement software to create profiles of individuals. Your Facebook page, purchasing habits, hobbies and taste in movies along with other records are carefully scrutinized and analyzed. A combination of this information, surveillance cameras, facial recognition technology, emotional recognition technology and other real time access to information allows for incredibly detailed profiling of the public. Government entities can and do use the personal information they collect to map out social networks, identify behavioral tendencies and to identify potentially undesirable individuals.

Analyst: Adjuvanted H1N1 vaccines helped stir Europe's debate -- The use of adjuvanted vaccines, an unfamiliar technology, helped spark mistrust that may have contributed to the recent allegations in Europe that pharmaceutical companies manipulated governments and international agencies by hyping the H1N1 pandemic threat, according to a British market analyst who follows infectious disease issues.
CDC says 20% of Americans received H1N1 vaccine -- As 2009 ended, an estimated 55 million Americans had been infected with the H1N1 pandemic flu and roughly one in five Americans had been vaccinated against the disease, the CDC said.

Security concerns caused doctors to leave hospital, abandon victims -- Earthquake victims, writhing in pain and grasping at life, watched doctors and nurses walk away from a field hospital Friday night after a Belgian medical team evacuated the area, saying it was concerned about security. The decision left CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Sanjay Gupta as the only doctor at the hospital to get the patients through the night.
Doctors without Borders plane prevented from landing in Haiti -- Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) urges that its cargo planes carrying essential medical and surgical material be allowed to land in Port-au-Prince in order to treat thousands of wounded waiting for vital surgical operations. Priority must be given immediately to planes carrying lifesaving equipment and medical personnel.
Haitian quake occurred in complex active seismic region -- The magnitude 7.0 earthquake that triggered disastrous destruction and mounting death tolls in Haiti this week occurred in a highly complex tangle of tectonic faults near the intersection of the Caribbean and North American crustal plates, according to a quake expert at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

Industry corruption, shoddy construction likely contributed to Haiti quake devastation -- The death toll in the massive 7.0 magnitude earthquake in Haiti Jan. 12 is expected to continue to rise in the coming days, likely in large part because of corruption and resulting shoddy construction practices in the poor Caribbean nation, according to a University of Colorado at Boulder seismologist.

Michelle Obama's toxic garden -- The problem stems from a previous administration’s having used sewage sludge for fertilizer. Which means it will never be certified organic.
Bee expert, chemical rep clash over pesticides -- Some beekeepers believe, as bees pollinate the plants, they are exposed to these pesticides and it eventually kills them. Manufacturers of the chemicals say they are safe.

Maine may require cell phones to carry cancer warnings -- Representative Andrea Boland, a Democrat from Maine, has introduced legislation that would require all mobile phones sold in the state to bear a label warning people that the devices may cause brain cancer.

6 great quakes to come -- what the webbots are seeing.
RAND Corporation advises Army on creating a National Stability Police Force -- The Rand Corporation was asked by the US Army to prepare a report recommending whether or not the US Needed a National Stability Police force. Basically a call for American "Brown Shirts" Rand's answer was a resounding yes.
Thousands of Americans died from H1N1 even after receiving vaccines -- The CDC is intentionally not tracking how many of the dead were previously vaccinated. They want you (and mainstream media journalists) to mistakenly believe that ZERO deaths occurred in those who were vaccinated. But this is blatantly false. Being vaccinated against H1N1 swine flu offers absolutely no reduction in mortality from swine flu infections. And that means roughly 20% of the 11,160 Americans who died from the swine flu were probably already vaccinated against swine flu. That comes to around 2,200 deaths in people who were vaccinated!
Swine flu as elusive as WMD, the real threat is mad scientist syndrome -- Remember the warnings of 65,000 dead? Health chiefs should admit they were wrong – yet again – about a global pandemic.
Nations scrap orders for swine flu vaccine -- Demand for vaccines to combat H1N1 influenza has fizzled out because the pandemic has proven to be less aggressive than was first feared.
Obama executive order seeks to integrate state & federal forces -- In the wake of the Flight 253 provocation, over-hyped terrorism panics, and last year's Big Pharma and media-engineered hysteria over the H1N1 flu pandemic, President Barack Obama signed Executive Order 13528 on January 11.

FEMA drowns millions of homeowners in flood insurance premiums -- Many homeowners are getting notices they must purchase flood insurance for the first time, even though they may live in areas never known to flood....as in, never!
Apathy is allowing the death of America -- "Yes, you have our permission to be angry with Washington. I'M MAD AND YOU WILL BE, TOO..." Read More...
For bankers: Who's the boss? -- An informal poll of top economic bloggers seems to indicate that these banking executives are accountable mainly to themselves.
Can the U.S. Navy make jet fuel out of seawater? -- U.S. Navy scientists are investigating a method for transforming ocean water into jet fuel as a way to maintain U.S. military superiority even in the face of dwindling global oil supplies.
Global uranium supply & demand-from Council on Foreign Relations -- Interest in nuclear power is increasing as the world's demand grows for cheap, reliable electricity, along with the need to reduce air pollution.
