There can be no worse pain than the loss of a child to suicide. The road to healing for a mother or father is treacherous and takes an iron will to go beyond the choice their child made.

March 12th 2010 saw six very special women from around the world, present documents and research about the HPV vaccines Gardasil and Cervarix to the FDA by request. Never before have the FDA turned to members of the public regarding vaccine safety but in an extraordinary move this is exactly what happened. Dubbed the 'Little Women' by the FDA the group presented evidence that will shock the world and could have the FDA eating their words.

The 13th anniversary of the so-called "Phoenix lights" UFO incident is next Saturday, March 13. As usual at this time each year, the case is revisited by many researchers, writers and interested people. In addition, the National Geographic Channel is airing an episode of its new show "Mysterious Science" about the Phoenix lights incident. As part of this discussion, I thought it might be interesting to include a chapter on the Phoenix lights case from my first novel, "Mission Into Light" (published in 2001).

An entire community can become involved in a school feeding project. This means jobs and income for residents. The local economies can be stimulated. This local food production also saves on shipping costs that would be incurred through bringing in food from far-away locations.

What was flying over Arizona and Phoenix the evening of March 13, 1997? Was it a formation of several aircraft with odd bright lights? If so, there seem to be several unusual aspects to the flight. Was it one huge triangle, boomerang or V-shaped craft? If so, was it a U.S. advanced aircraft or spacecraft of some kind? Was it an extraterrestrial craft? Was it some combination of both? The so-called "Phoenix lights" case is widely recognized as one of the more interesting incidents involving unidentified flying objects.

The current controversy over proposed textbook changes in one state has brought the process of change into question. The current environment involves the state board of education but the make up of the board can impact what is being taught in future curriculum. Criteria should be established if not already when changes to textbooks are necessary to keep them current for the leaders of tomorrow.

The Israeli military extended its total closure of the Palestinian West Bank from last Friday until Tuesday at midnight, as tensions continue to run high. Separate-but-related Palestinian demonstrations continued Monday in East Jerusalem (about the restrictions on Palestinian worshippers and about what Palestinians say they fear is an attempt to undermine Al-Aqsa Mosque and other holy sites in the Old City) and the rest of the West Bank (about The Wall and the military checkpoints). Just before dawn on Monday morning, the Israeli military also entered the West Bank villages of Bil'in and Nil'in, to post notices of a military order apparently issued three weeks ago, banning the presence of Israeli or international activists, or any Palestinians who don't actually live there, from the villages all day on Friday for the six months. There was an astonished reaction to this new attempt to ban protest demonstrations.

The U.S. sent 150 million in military aid to Yemen recently so it can resist Al Qaeda and extremists. But while that´s happening, Yemenis displaced by a conflict in the North and living in camps are having their food rations cut. This is the result of low funding from the international community for the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). These rations will go to zero eventually if new funding is not found.

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden said at Tel Aviv University on Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu's new statement -- that it could take years to actually construct 1,600 new housing units in one Jewish settlement in East Jerusalem -- was "significant" -- because it allows time for negotiations to resolve the issue. Does he now believe, or did he get private assurances, that Netanyahu has issued a go-slow policy for this specific plan for new settlement housing? Two days ago, Biden issued an unprecedented statement condemning the Israeli government announcement about the 1,600 units, during his high-level visit to the region. In his speech in Tel Aviv, Biden ignored signals in recent days -- and clear statements made by Arab League officials and Palestinian negotiators overnight - that, contrary to an American announcement made earlier this week, there would be no Palestinian participation in "indirect" negotiations under U.S. auspices until the Israeli government cancelled its plans for these and all other new settlement housing units. But, Israeli peace activists say, there are at least 40,000 other housing units being planned in various settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.

Yesterday evening, Vice President Biden issued an unusually strong statement in which he said: "I condemn the decision of the government of Israel"... But, it was not enough to persuade Palestinian negotiators, who said, after Biden's visit to the Palestinian Presidential headquarters in Ramallah, that proposed "indirect" negotiations had not yet started.

The Palestinians appear to have been edged out in Round One of the proposed new "indirect talks" with Israel that are to be managed by U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East George Mitchell. Despite Palestinian insistence that negotiations must take up where they left off (at the end of December 2008, when Israel launched Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza Strip), the U.S. made a very official public announcement yesterday evening (Jerusalem time) that the process has begun. Now, the Israeli media reports today that the U.S. has backed the Israeli government's position instead, and has given assurances that any previous offers are "non-binding". What will the Palestinian leadership -- and the Palestinians -- do now?

This is a struggle not unique to Bradstreet´s time. As International Women's Day arrives, there are women all across the globe who are being deprived of education and opportunities. This may be because of the poverty they live in, but it can also be due to deep-rooted societal beliefs.

A Palestinian official in Ramallah says that they are still waiting for an American response about the terms of the negotiations that the U.S. State Department is saying have already started. For the Palestinians, it is not so important whether the negotiations are styled as "indirect" or "proximity" talks. Instead, this official said, "Ihe problem we have with the Americans is that they are speaking about ´relaunching´ these negotiations, while we want to ´resume´ negotiations at the point they ended on 27 December 2008 [the day Israel launched an unprecedented three-week military operation against Hamas in Gaza]. But Israel doesn´t want to do that". He added that "We are here to negotiate to obtain our freedom. If this turns out to be just an attempt to make a good PR [public relations] campaign for Mr. Netanyahu, then of course we are not willing to do simply that".

A 21 Jan 2010 "psychic spy" note referenced "non-essential Federal shutdown" days before a snowstorm shut down the government in Washington. The same note also referenced an "unhappy circle" in the Obama White House over an "affair."
Social Security is in pretty good shape, when compared to Medicare and Medicaid, but it still can be made better.

The Palestinian leadership has now received qualified approval to embark on "indirect" negotiations with Israel that will be brokered by the U.S. Special Envoy George Mitchell. The agreement is that the process will be evaluated after four months, and the U.S. is supposed to state publicly if either party has been an obstacle to the process. Previous negotiations have gone on for years without any result but a maintenance of the status quo, which is an Israeli miltary occupation of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. Gaza is isolated and under total Israeli blockade -- a situation Israeli officials have argued is an end to its occupation there. Part of the present process seems to be managing the situation until the exclusion of Hamas, the winner of the 2006 parliamentary elections, and now in control in the Gaza Strip after ousting Fatah-led security forces in mid-June 2007, is complete. But, how do all the political leaderships involved think they're going to be able keep a lid on this explosive situation?

The poor Human Rights record of the Abyssinian tyranny is evidently reflected on the disastrous situation under which live dozens of millions of women in the Amhara and Tigray-led tyranny. The Fidh Report (Dossier of Claims) sheds light on the troubles experienced by all the women who belong in the ...
