BBC News - 'Systematic dishonesty' at Barclays, says former boss

Barclays is probably just the tip of a very large iceberg. Has organized crime moved into the major banks? Hopefully, criminal investigations will lead to a string of procescutions and loads of dishonest people will go to jail! The deterioration arises with liberalization of the banking sectors around the world. Give people too much power and they WILL be corrupted. It's time a new international procsecution process was created and enforcement stepped up.

Harper was warned Syria ignoring outrage over massacres: memo

The point is! If Syria is willing to do such damage to its own people, imagine what it would do to Israel if given the opportunity.

The idea that Syria's problems are sourced from outside the country is nonsense! We do, however, observe how awful it presently is to belong to or be near Syria!

US Deficit 'Higher than Euro Zone's': Germany Rejects Obama's Criticism in Euro Crisis - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International

Germany is rightly miffed at US inabilities in understanding it's own weaknesses! Lack of real growth in US is symptom of dollar not working....

What we all have are wasted years because US economics courses are largely flawed. It doesn't take very much to see ways to mitigate the negative effects of US economy which arise because of financial liberalisation, especially towards letting banks lend money they can't fund. The mismatch is there for all to see like a cow's ass!

Celiacs, gluten frees, wheat frees and the problem with processed fruit drinks

Unfortunately, there is no rest for those sensitive to allergens in general because of the absense of legislation almost anywhere to label ingredients regarding what sweetens, or flavourizes, or is part of the creation process of ordinary fruit juices sold in restraurants and elsewhere. J2's are a nightmare!

So if you are vulnerable, once a victim of non labelled food and you are destroyed mentally from ever drinking a juice again.

Libya Jihadis Offer 2 Paths - Democracy or Militancy - NYTimes.com

In Dernah, the split between extremist and moderate approaches comes to a head. Long an outpost of moderate politics, it has become a place that has produced extreme politics. Win the hearts of Dernah and win a future for Libya that would put it at the forefront of Europe because of its location and potential as a leading Arab democracy.

Dernah in Eastern Libya has a long peaceful past that needs to be recaptured! What happened? Gaddafi happened, a man of hatred for Isreal and fear of democracy. A man driven by old Solviet politics and a tool of the USSR!

YOU HAVE REACHED WOOH'S STREAM
The Internet User's Best Kept Secret

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
