Our sun may indeed have a far-flung gravitationally-bound companion — just not with the size or orbit that could have triggered periodicity in earth’s paleontological record, say astrophysicists now actively searching data from NASA’s WISE (Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer) spacecraft.
For decades astronomers and paleontologists have debated whether our sun has a stellar mass M-dwarf companion dubbed “Nemesis” that could have caused a 26 million-year periodicity in earth’s asteroidal and cometary [...]

In 2005 Robert Zoellick, as US deputy secretary of state, proposed that China might play the role of a “responsible stakeholder” in helping to shape the international agenda. But despite its meteoric rise, most observers now do not see Beijing playing this role. China is often seen as uncooperative on issues ranging from trade and investment flows to intellectual property rights, climate change and the acquisition of natural resources. This has [...]

There IS a small ray of light shining up from the rubble of what is left of America. With Republican governors acting like – well, Republicans and crawling back to lick Barack Obama’s boots, it IS hard to accept; but the fight against Obamacare is still on. The feckless and traitorous John Roberts may not have destroyed us after all.

Historically, the drive for tax reform in the US has focused on the individual income tax. The ideal, epitomised by the Tax Reform Act of 1986, has been to broaden the tax base and thereby reduce statutory tax rates in a revenue-neutral manner.
American observers, however, now believe that the so-called fiscal cliff deal that President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans agreed to on the first day of the year [...]
He has been plagued with questions and doubts concerning his background throughout his first term as President.
Questions like – is Barack Obama actually American? Is he a Muslim? Is he actually an alien from another planet? – have frequently been asked.
The next question circulating on the internet – has President Obama had brain surgery?

New York Gov. and likely 2016 presidential aspirant Andrew Cuomo used his State of the State address Wednesday to call for new gun controls, press Congress for post-Hurricane Sandy aid and propose a historic “women’s equality act” in the Empire State.
That latter proposal was seen by many observers as a nod to an important segment of the 2012 electorate for Democrats as well as Hillary Clinton’s political base.

It’s the banks, not their customers, who actually wind up owing each other money…
OBSERVERS of Fractional Reserve Banking have noticed that your deposit into a bank can cause the bank to offer new loans well above and beyond the size of your deposit.
Those watchers often object on the grounds that this is new money which shouldn’t have been created.
But every [...]

Plosser says economy is now in state of permanent shock
“It certainly looks like we’ve had a permanent shock” in the wake of the housing-market bust and resulting recession, Mr. Plosser told a gathering of economists in San Diego. But when it comes to understanding the causes and results of that event, observers “won’t know the answer for many years.”

Conflicting reports have emerged from Iran over an explosion heard in the central city of Isfahan, close to the country’s sensitive nuclear facilities.
Iran’s semi-official Isna news agency quoted a judiciary official in Isfahan, saying that an explosion had been heard.
Several residents of Isfahan told the Guardian that they had heard a loud blast. One said that it rattled the windows of their home.

Many states are wisely signaling that they aren’t interested in doing the Obama administration’s bidding on Obamacare. As a result, many if not most of Obamacare’s insurance exchanges — the heart of the beast — will have to be set up and run by the Obama administration at the federal level.
States are not required to set up Obamacare exchanges, but it seems to have surprised observers that many are choosing [...]
In next month’s general election, politicians — nearly all of them men — will make promises on what they will do to fix Japan’s economic morass. Very few of them will even mention women.
The country’s problems are well known: more older people are living longer as the workforce that supports them gets smaller. The result is rising welfare costs and a shrinking tax base.
An influx of immigrants would boost the [...]
Breitbart News has just received reports from citizen journalists in Ohio that two precinct election judges were removed by Hamilton County Director of Elections for allowing unregistered voters to cast ballots.
According to the individuals, one of those precinct election judges was removed as an election judge at Precinct 13d, located at the Pentecostal Church in Cincinnati. People who were not registered were allowed to illegally “same day register,” meaning they [...]

Berlin, 15 out (AP) – The euro divides Europeans and “not good for peace,” said today the American Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Prize in Economics, in an interview with financial newspaper Handelsblatt.
“All outside observers agree that the euro and the policies aimed at saving the euro divide Europe at this time. These are divisions [...]
Male DNA has for the first time been found inside the female brain, according to new research led by a Canadian scientist.
No, the finding doesn’t explain why women sometimes know what their husbands are thinking.
But it could lead to refining what “the self,” biologically speaking at least, really means.
Plus, in an unexpected finding, the researchers found women with Alzheimer’s disease had less male DNA in their brains – and in [...]

The social network was deluged with complaints from members who claimed their old private messages have been re-published publicly on the social network.
Facebook admitted old messages were reappearing on profiles but quickly denied that there had been a privacy breach, as the messages were old public messages.
It appeared that members were shown old public “wall” postings that they wrongly believed were private messages. Observers said the outcry [...]

It’s the earliest pre-election exit by Congress from Washington since 1960, though [...]

As Simon Hobbs noted this morning, Olli Rehn confirmed ahh that err “both the European Union and the ECB are ready to take action” but only conditional upon requests for aid. What is perhaps missed by most observers is what Rick Santelli and Mark Grant discuss in more detail in the short clip below. Greece managed to sell EUR4 billion short-dated bills this morning at remarkably low yields – not [...]
Greek Prime Minister Antonios Samaras is meeting Athens’ international lenders to outline the indebted country’s new painful cost-cutting reforms in order to get the rescue loans.

Unlike Chris and many other savvy observers, I’m not convinced Mitt Romney went to the NAACP convention to be booed.
The Romney campaign reportedly bused in supporters and Mitt couched his speech with a pained attempt to reach out to the audience by leaning on his father’s civil rights record and some God talk. No doubt he was definitely sending a message to his base by being abrasive and dogmatic about his agenda. But that’s [...]
The European Parliament has voted to reject the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (Acta).
The proposed agreement sought to curb piracy, but internet campaigners said it posed a threat to online freedoms.
The rejection vote followed a failed attempt to postpone the decision because of ongoing investigations into Acta by the European Court of Justice.
Euro MP David Martin said: “It’s time to give [Acta] its last rites.”
Twenty two EU member states, including the [...]
Police removed a mentally disturbed man in an Elmo costume from New York City’s Central Park Zoo on Sunday afternoon.
The man was spouting anti-Jewish insults, including encouraging visitors at the zoo to read “The International Jew” — an anti-Semitic series of pamphlets published by Henry Ford.
The anti-Semitic Elmo made his first appearance in 2009 in Times Square, demanding people give him money to take pictures of him. Berating people who refused to give him [...]

United Nations officials refuse to allow observers to read the draft agenda for the Rio+20 conference on climate change, after an earlier draft called for the economic “contraction” of major countries.
“It seems the UN has taken the final pre-conference draft and classified it!” Lord Monckton, a climate skeptic with the Center for a Constructive Tomorrow reported in an email. “We were promised transparency. This is unacceptable.”
