By Salah Nasrawi, The Associated Press
CAIRO - A Saudi judge has asked several hospitals in the country  whether they could damage a man's spinal cord as punishment after he was  convicted of attacking another man with a cleaver and paralyzing him,  the brother of the victim said Thursday.
Abdul-Aziz al-Mutairi, 22, was left paralyzed and subsequently lost a  foot after a fight more than two years ago. He asked a judge in  northwestern Tabuk province to impose an equivalent punishment on his  attacker under Islamic law, his brother Khaled al-Mutairi told The  Associated Press by telephone from there.
He said one of the hospitals, located in Tabuk, responded that it is  possible to damage the spinal cord, but it added that the operation  would have to be done at another more specialized facility. Saudi  newspapers reported that a second hospital in the capital Riyadh  declined, saying it could not inflict such harm.

		<link>http://tneagleforum.org/custpage.cfm/sec_id/24786/news_id/14929</link>
		<description><![CDATA[ For the last few years, federal agencies have defended body scanning by  insisting that all images will be discarded as soon as they're viewed.  The Transportation Security Administration claimed last summer, for  instance, that &quot;scanned images cannot be stored or recorded.&quot; 
 Now it turns out that some police agencies are storing the controversial  images after all. The U.S. Marshals Service admitted this week that it  had surreptitiously saved tens of thousands of images recorded with a  millimeter wave system at the security checkpoint of a single Florida  courthouse. 
 This follows an earlier disclosure (PDF)  by the TSA that it requires all airport body scanners it purchases to  be able to store and transmit images for &quot;testing, training, and  evaluation purposes.&quot; The agency says, however, that those capabilities  are not normally activated when the devices are installed at airports. 
 Body scanners penetrate clothing to provide a highly detailed image so  ... ]]></description>

		<link>http://tneagleforum.org/custpage.cfm/sec_id/24786/news_id/14567</link>
		<description><![CDATA[ Not              long ago, a Hollywood film, &ldquo;The Blind Side,&rdquo; left viewers              across America marveling at one family&rsquo;s compassion in  adopting              a troubled young teen. This week another such story emerged  in the              folds of a Minnesota newspaper. 
It              centers on a pregnant eleventh-grader, who, despite pressure  from              her boyfriend and mother to have an abortion, decided to  protect her              baby&rsquo;s life. But four months into the pregnancy, La&rsquo;Shay              Ester found herself estranged from an already broken family,  struggling              to juggle school and a full-time job, and in need of some  serious              help. 
That&rsquo;s              when the school nurse, Kathleen Hook, stepped in. It started  with              small gestures&mdash;a hug, some crackers and juice, a place to  rest              in between classes&mdash;but quickly grew into an extraordinary  relationshi... ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Editor's note: Ed Rollins, a senior  political contributor for CNN, is senior presidential fellow at the Kalikow  Center for the Study of the American Presidency at Hofstra University. He was  White House political director for President Ronald Reagan and chairman of the  National Republican Congressional Committee. 
New York (CNN) -- There is a term used widely on Capitol Hill, and it  needs no explanation to the tens of thousands who work there serving the House  and Senate. The term is &quot;old bulls,&quot; and it is used to describe the most senior  members of Congress.
Unlike in the farm pasture, where younger and stronger bulls sometimes push  the old guys off to the sidelines, the old bulls in Congress usually get  stronger and seldom get challenged either for re-election or their chairmanships  or ranking positions on committees.
All that is changing. The pending election of 2010 may be a doomsday election  that already is causing a giant reshuffling of the old guard. In th... ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ On Presidential  Rhetoric
Obama's ad hominem method and the politics of  polarization.
President  Obama came to office promising an era of political comity, but even he  has had to concede that his first 15 months in office haven't lived up  to his campaign hope of transcending partisan divisions. While it takes  two to tangle, we think the hyper-polarization owes more than a little  to Mr. Obama's own rhetorical habits. More than any President in memory,  Mr. Obama has a tendency to vilify his opponents in personal terms and  assail their arguments as dishonest, illegitimate or motivated by bad  faith. 


A  notable instance is Mr. Obama's ad hominem attack on Mitch McConnell at a  California fundraiser for Barbara Boxer on Monday. The Senate Minority  Leader &quot;paid a visit to Wall Street a week or two ago,&quot; Mr. Obama said,  and &quot;met with some of the movers and shakers up there. I don't know  exactly what was discussed. All I can tell you is when he came back, he  p... ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ WASHINGTON  &mdash; America's &quot;Great Compromiser&quot; Henry Clay called  government &quot;the great trust,&quot; but most Americans today have little faith  in Washington's ability to deal with the nation's problems.
Public  confidence in government is at one of the lowest points in a half  century, according to a survey from the Pew Research Center. Nearly 8 in  10 Americans say they don't trust the federal government and have  little faith it can solve America's ills, the survey found.
The  findings illustrate the ominous situation President Barack Obama and the  Democratic Party face as they struggle to maintain their comfortable  congressional majorities in this fall's elections. Midterm prospects are  typically tough for the party in power. Add a toxic environment like  this and lots of incumbent Democrats could be out of work.
Released  Sunday, the survey found that just 22 percent of those questioned say  they can trust Washington almost always or most of the time and j... ]]></description>

 	It's that joyous time of year: income tax time. So I spend time with my  accountant. I don't want to see him, but I must. I could not do what  he's doing. The tax code has grown so complex that today most Americans  hire someone to do their taxes.  
	For the money I pay my accountant, I could get a hundred  massages. I could buy a fancy motorcycle. I could take a cruise ship to  Venice and back.  
	Better yet, I could do some good in the world. I could pay for  two Habitat for Humanity homes or help three kids escape government  schools by paying their tuition at a good Catholic school.  
	What a shame that I pay my accountant instead.  
	How'd we get to this point? U.S taxes were once simple! The  government funded itself on tariffs and excise taxes. It didn't violate  our privacy by asking us how much we made or how many dependents we  have.  
	But in 1913, the politicians decided they needed an income tax.

As both a  history teacher and a conservative, I have to admit to being quite  amused by the foaming-at-the-mouth reaction liberals have had recently  to the Texas Board of Education.&nbsp; It seems that the board has approved  changes to the history curriculum adopted for use in the Texas public  school system.
&nbsp;
The New York Times, ever the beacon of objectivity and  fairness, described the changes as, &quot;put[ting] a conservative stamp on  history and economics textbooks.&quot;
&nbsp;

The  reason I find this situation amusing is because when you look at the  actual changes approved for the curriculum, they demonstrate an effort  to undo the revisionist, multicultural, politically correct garbage that  has overrun American and world history texts for a generation.&nbsp; In  other words, the left isn't worried about history being rewritten;  they're wo... ]]></description>

Last updated at 9:21 AM on 04th March 2010
Heads will be forced to list children as young as five on school  'hate registers' over everyday playground insults. 

Even minor  incidents must be recorded as examples of serious bullying and details  kept on a database until the pupil leaves secondary school. 

Teachers  are to be told that even if a primary school child uses homophobic or  racist words without knowing their meaning, simply teaching them such  words are hurtful and inappropriate is not enough. 

Instead  the incident has to be recorded and his or her behaviour monitored for  future signs of 'hate' bullying. 

The accusations will also be recorded in databases held by councils and made available to Whitehall and ministers to help them devise future anti-bullying campaigns. 

The scale of the effort to stop children using homophobic or racist language was revealed after the parents of a ten-year-old primary school pupil in Somerse... ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Children are being increasingly exposed to sexual  imagery and their parents have limited opportunities to stop it, a  report for the Home Office warns.
The report calls for tougher  regulation of sexual imagery in adverts and a ban on selling &quot;lads'  mags&quot; to under-16s. 
It also recommends selling mobile phones and  games consoles with parental controls automatically switched on. 
Author  Dr Linda Papadopoulos said there was a clear link between sexualised  imagery and violence towards females. 

Her report  said the material children were being exposed to included the growth of  lads' mags and pornography on mobile phones, through to big-name fashion  brands using sexual imagery to advertise clothes targeted at young  teenagers.

 Most news outlets end the year with extensive reviews of their top headlines and scoops. But the stories they didn't cover deserve much greater attention. Journalistic sins of omission are often far more damning and more telling than sins of commission. 
 Let's start with President Obama's ongoing radical czar problem. Until Bay Area Marxist agitator-turned-green-jobs-czar Van Jones resigned in September, most Americans hadn't heard of him. Mainstream newspaper readers and network news viewers were left in the dark about his cop-killer-supporting activism, his endorsement of nutball Sept. 11 conspiracies and his advocacy of using capitalism-sabotaging environmental policies as &quot;the engine for transforming the whole society.&quot; 
 Fox News, talk radio and conservative blogs pounded Jones' embarrassing public record for months until the White House and its press corps enablers were forced to acknowledge the firestorm. Only after Obam... ]]></description>

WASHINGTON
 I was walking through a deserted downtown on Christmas Eve with a friend, past the lonely, gray Treasury Building, past the snowy White House with no president inside.
 &ldquo;I hope the terrorists don&rsquo;t think this is a good time to attack,&rdquo; I said, looking protectively at the White House, which always looks smaller and more vulnerable and beautiful than you expect, no matter how often you see it up close.
 I thought our guard might be down because of the holiday; now I realize our guard is down every day.
 One thrilling thing about moving from W. to Barack Obama was that Obama seemed like an avatar of modernity.
 W., Dick Cheney and Rummy kept ceaselessly dragging us back into the past. America seemed to have lost her ingenuity, her quickness, her man-on-the-moon bravura, her Bugs Bunny panache.
 Were we clever and inventive enough to protect ourselves from the new breed of Flintstones-hardy yet Facebook-savvy terrorists?

Obama Science Czar John Holdren is directly involved in CRU&rsquo;s unfolding Climategate scandal.&nbsp; In fact, according to files released by a CEU hacker or whistleblower, Holdren is involved in what Canada Free Press (CFP) columnist Canadian climatologist Dr. Tim Ball terms &ldquo;a truculent and nasty manner that provides a brief demonstration of his lack of understanding, commitment on faith and willingness to ridicule and bully people&rdquo;.

		<description><![CDATA[ GOUVERNEUR, NY - Congressman-elect Bill Owens was sworn in at noon today.
Owens indicated in a press release released shortly afterwards that he was now in favor of the the &quot;Affordable Healthcare for America Act&quot; bill in direct contrast to his earlier position during the election campaign.
According to Politico.com, Mr. Owens assured voters that he felt the public option had no place in the health care reform bill.&nbsp; Contrary to that position, Mr. Owens now indicates that he intends to vote in favor of the bill even though it now contains a public option.
UPDATED: A spokesman for Congressman Owens indicated correctly that Mr. Owens had recanted his solid position against public option later in the campaign, clarifying that he did not wish public option to be a 'litmus test' for the Health Reform bill and that on Oct. 30th, several days prior to the election, in a debate had stated that he generally supported the public option as it was now written (at that time.)

		<link>http://tneagleforum.org/custpage.cfm/sec_id/24786/news_id/11714</link>
		<description><![CDATA[ Regardless of how lively an election season might be, a new study shows that more 3.3 million voters on current registration rolls across the country are dead. 
&nbsp;
Another 12.9 million remain on voter registration lists in an area where they no longer live. 
&nbsp;
The analysis was conducted by the Aristotle International Inc., a technology company 
specializing in political campaigns, developing software and databases for politicians. 
&nbsp;
In total that means about 8.9 percent of all registered voters fall under the category of &ldquo;deadwood&rdquo; voters on the rolls, the term for voters who should no longer be eligible to vote in a precinct.
Not only does this raise concerns about potential voter fraud, but from the interest of campaign consultants, ineligible or expired voters could lead to a waste of resources, said John Aristotle Phillips, CEO of Aristotle.

		<description><![CDATA[ Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) announced yesterday that his &ldquo;Harrycare&rdquo; bill will include a government option.&nbsp; Looking a great deal like a man who can see the end of his political career looming over the horizon, Reid buckled to the far left ideologues in the White House and his caucus to go over the political cliff.

&ldquo;We intend to include it [a government option] in the bill that will be submitted to the Senate,&rdquo; Reid said at the presser.&nbsp; &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve spent countless hours over the past few days in consultation with Senators who&rsquo;ve shown and share a desire to reform the health care system, and I believe there is a strong consensus to move forward in this direction.&rdquo;

Oops, thought this was about reforming &ldquo;insurance&rdquo; not the &ldquo;health care system,&rdquo; Sen. Reid.&nbsp; Must be a misspeak after all those long hours.

For example, Brian McLaren, a prominent Emerging Church leader, announced plans to celebrate the Islamic holiday Ramadan, commemorating Muhammad's reception of the Quran. On the Fourth of July, when most Americans were celebrating the birth of our nation, Rick Warren, &quot;America's Pastor,&quot; addressed the Islamic Society of North America, which, the Department of Justice categorized two years ago as a co-conspirator in financing a foreign terrorist group!  
Another Emerging Church leader, Tony Campolo, a proponent of the so-called &quot;evangelical left&quot; claimed that &quot;even if&quot; Muslims &quot;don't convert, they are God's people.&quot; Campolo further declared, &quot;A theology of mysticism provides some hope for common g... ]]></description>

As President Obama pushes for passage of his first major domestic policy change, some physicians are waging an all-out       war against a health care reform bill they say amounts to nothing more than socialized medicine.
America's Affordable       Health Choices Act of 2009 would create a public health insurance alternative and require coverage for most Americans and       from most employers.
The American Medical Association -- the nation's largest physician organization with nearly 250,000       members -- initially opposed the president's plan, but backed the House Democrats' version of the bill last week. That has       led to an internal dispute that has resulted in some physicians leaving the nation's largest doctors' association.

		<description><![CDATA[ There is a knock at the front door. Peeking through the window, a mother sees a man and a woman, both in uniform. They are agents of health-care reform.
&nbsp;
&ldquo;Excuse me, ma&rsquo;am,&rdquo; says the man. &ldquo;Our records show that your eleven-year-old daughter has not been immunized for genital warts.&rdquo;
&nbsp;
&ldquo;And your four-year-old still needs the chicken-pox vaccine,&rdquo; says the woman.
&nbsp;
&ldquo;He will not be allowed to start kindergarten unless he gets that shot, you know,&rdquo; says the man&mdash;smiling from ear to ear. 
&nbsp;
&ldquo;So, can we please come in?&rdquo; asks the woman. &ldquo;We have the vaccines right here,&rdquo; she says, lifting up a black medical bag. &ldquo;We can give your kids the shots right now.&rdquo;

		<description><![CDATA[ WASHINGTON &mdash; Billions of dollars in federal aid delivered directly to the local level to help revive the economy have gone overwhelmingly to places that supported President Obama in last year's presidential election.
That aid &mdash; about $17 billion &mdash; is the first piece of the administration's massive stimulus package that can be tracked locally. Much of it has followed a well-worn path to places that regularly collect a bigger share of federal grants and contracts, guided by formulas that have been in place for decades and leave little room for manipulation.
STIMULUS FUNDS: States aren't using money as intended
&quot;There's no politics at work when it comes to spending for the recovery,&quot; White House spokesman Robert Gibbs says.
Counties that supported Obama last year have reaped twice as much money per person from the administration's $787 billion economic stimulus package as those that voted for his Republican rival, Sen. John McCain, a USA TODAY analysis of g... ]]></description>
