The debate is raging over whether the latest immigration bill is an amnesty for illegal immigrants, but one part is clear: The legislation would forgive businesses that have employed those immigrants illegally.
Employers who have allowed illegal immigrants to work off the books can come forward safely and provide their work history without fear of prosecution, and businesses that knowingly employed someone using a bogus or stolen [...]

A wave of corrosive political scandals at a time of economic woe is exacerbating the outrage of European citizens, who are channelling resentment into street protests or at the polls.
Italy, Spain and Greece have all been hit by fraud or graft cases allegedly involving the top brass. France joined the ranks of scandal-hit nations this week after its former budget minister was charged with tax fraud.

Sitting in a diving chamber may be a new treatment for type 2 diabetes, the most common form of the condition.
Scientists are combining the treatment with injections of a patient’s own stem cells in a bid to kick-start insulin production.
They believe the high levels of oxygen in the chamber boosts the activity of the stem cells, helping them to repair the cells in the body that produce insulin.

Resourceful Syrian rebels are preparing to battle tyrant Bashar Asad using a home-made tank – with a machine gun that can be fired using a PS3-style controller.
Based around a car’s chassis, the armoured vehicle is around four metres long and two metres wide, and is said to have taken a month to put together.
Built by the Al-Ansar rebel brigade in the Aleppo region of northwest Syria, the [...]

Leading World Bank Demographer: Vaccination Campaigns Part Of Population Reduction Policy
On October 2nd a retired demographer at the World Bank admitted that vaccination campaigns are an integral part of the World Bank’s population policies. John F. May, the Bank’s leading demographer from 1992 to 2012, told the French web journal Sens Public (and in turn transcribed by the think-tank May works for) that vaccination campaigns, especially in so-called “high-fertility countries”, [...]

I was just doing a radio interview with CNN Radio and Dan Stewart, the host, raised an interesting objection to my thinking that the Fed is trying to stay apolitical.
He said the Fed might intentionally be getting political or at least doesn’t care, because Ben Bernanke thinks he’s out of the job if Romney wins. It’s a bit conspiratorial, but a really interesting idea that I hadn’t thought [...]

A full-blown sovereign bail-out of Spain would be economically and politically impossible and cost up to €650bn (£510bn), an in-depth study has warned.
Leading think-tank Open Europe made the estimate based on the assumption the Spanish government would be forced out of the markets for three years because of its unsustainable borrowing costs, as happened in Greece, Ireland and Portugal.
Between now and mid-2015, Spain has funding needs of €542bn, with its banks [...]

In April, Zynga conducted a “secondary stock offering” in which insiders dumped 43 million shares of stock at $12 a share, raking in about $516 million.
Yesterday, four months later, Zynga reported a horrible quarter, and the stock plunged to $3.
In other words, Zynga insiders cashed out at exactly the right time.
In fact, they cashed out in the same quarter in which Zynga imploded.
The quarter had already begun when Zynga insiders shoveled their stock out the [...]

As gas prices remain high, improving your car’s mileage is crucial.
By stretching a tank of gas further, you can reduce the amount of times you must fill up per month, which can help you stick to your budget. This is especially important for those who purchased non-efficient cars when gas was cheaper.
But regardless of what car you drive, you can always use a little extra money at the end [...]
UK families are facing an uncertain financial future with one in five admitting they are living on edge.
Frightening research published today shows that 20 per cent of families are struggling to cope financially while another two-fifths are “just getting by”.

They’ve also been whacked, by the climbing cost of childcare [...]

Saturday, I was shocked when I added about 18 gallons of gasoline to my tank only to discover I had just spent $71. When I looked at the number, I remembered back to early 2009 when that same amount of gas cost me about $36.
For those who buy that much gasoline every week, that means an extra $1,872 a year going to the oil companies that might have gone somewhere [...]
BALTIMORE (WJZ)—Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, gas prices are up again this week.

Maryland’s average is [...]
Rick Santorum got into what many would view as an ill-advised battle between himself and Matt Drudge. A few weeks ago the former Senator accused Drudge of being in the tank for Romney – Drudge has since made sure to incude as many trademark unflattering photos and headlines as possible. Today the headline was about Santorum saying we may as well keep Obama if Romney is nominee. What did Glenn [...]

Just drive across the border.

Honey bees should have no chance at all against the ferocious Japanese hornet – the predators are an inch long, and watching the two battle is like watching infantry racing hopelessly towards a tank.
But the tiny creatures can actually triumph – by swarming over their foes in such numbers that hornets are ‘cooked’ inside a ball of bees.

States are moving to cut jobs and other spending to close budget deficits, even though their protracted fiscal crisis is easing a bit in an improving economy.
State governments are confronting a combined $47 billion gap between projected revenue and costs for the fiscal year that starts in July, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a left-leaning think tank. While that figure is high historically, it [...]

It will go in two different directions.
What’s the prospect for the Greek stock market if Greece leaves the Euro.
SocGen’s Patrick Legland and Daniel Fermon have produced this clever chart.
It compares the Athens market to the Argtine market, during its crisis.
Basically, Argentina was essentially in the same situation as Greece, except the Greek peso was pegged to the dollar.
When Argentina de-pegged, its equity market surged when priced in pesos, and [...]
