Looks like the Terra got Terraized by a herniated disc. The clearest division in the UFC has yet again suffered another setback.

For Your Safety – UK Loses Database of Personal Info
UK’s families put on fraud alert
Two computer discs holding the personal details of all families in the UK with a child under 16 have gone missing. The Child Benefit data on them includes name, address, date of birth, National Insurance number and, where relevant, bank details of 25 million people.
Chancellor Alistair Darling said there was no evidence the data had gone to criminals – but urged people to monitor bank accounts “for unusual activity”.
The Conservatives described the incident as a “catastrophic” failure.
“Catastrophic failure” – understatement of the century
Thank god this thing is dead
Scientists find fossil of enormous bug
LONDON – This was a bug you couldn’t swat and definitely couldn’t step on. British scientists have stumbled across a fossilized claw, part of an ancient sea scorpion, that is of such large proportion it would make the entire creature the biggest bug ever.
How big? Bigger than you, and at 8 feet long as big as some Smart cars.

Second Amendment rights of individuals who are not affiliated

and other firearms for private use in their homes? “DC had phrased it as:
“Whether the Second Amendment forbids the District of
Columbia from banning private possession of handguns

Somalia Is Worse Off Than Darfur After Institution of Government
The New York Times Reports:
AFGOOYE, Somalia, Nov. 19 — The worst humanitarian crisis in Africa may not be unfolding in Darfur, but here, along a 20-mile strip of busted-up asphalt, several top United Nations officials said.
A year ago, the road between the market town of Afgooye and the capital of Mogadishu was just another typical Somali byway, lined with overgrown cactuses and the occasional bullet-riddled building. Now it is a corridor teeming with misery, with 200,000 recently displaced people crammed into swelling camps that are rapidly running out of food.
Natheefa Ali, who trudged up this road a week ago to escape the bloodbath that Mogadishu has turned into, said Monday that her 10-month-old baby was so malnourished she could not swallow.
“Look,” Ms. Natheefa said, pointing to her daughter’s splotchy legs, “her skin is falling off, too.”
Top United Nations officials who specialize in Somalia said the country had higher malnutrition rates, more current bloodshed and fewer aid workers than Darfur, which is often publicized as the world’s most pressing humanitarian crisis and has taken clear priority in terms of getting peacekeepers and aid money.
The relentless urban combat in Mogadishu, between an unpopular transitional government — installed partially with American help — and a determined Islamist insurgency, has driven waves of desperate people up the Afgooye road, where more than 70 camps of twigs and plastic have popped up seemingly overnight.
Democrats Have No Balls
When will this propaganda that the Democrats care about American lives in Iraq end? Despite their majority in both Houses, they are more contempt with jacking off than actually making any sort of legitimate progress.
Frustrated by the lack of political progress in Iraq, under pressure by antiwar groups and mindful of polls showing that most Americans want the war to end, the Democrats last week put forward a $50 billion war spending bill with strings attached knowing it would fail.
Like so many of the war-related measures that Democrats have proposed this year, the spending bill sought to set a timeline for redeploying American troops, and to narrow the mission to focus on counterterrorism and on the training of Iraq’s security forces.

Another Innocent Victim of the Drug Jihad
Of course, our government ALWAYS knows best. This is not an outrage at all! Losing your property, large amounts of money and your reputation? Hey! It’s for your benefit!
FORT COLLINS – Loveland resident Jeremy Chad Myers walked from a district courtroom Thursday with tears in his eyes and said he feels “as innocent as ever.”
Myers considers himself vindicated because 8th Judicial District prosecutors dropped all drug charges against him for what three reports show is a false accusation he was cooking and using methamphetamine in his home at the old sugar factory in Loveland.
