It's true, the longer you're out of work and the older that you are, makes it near impossible that someone will see you as a valuable member of the human race and that's truly sad.

A lawsuit challenging a law that lets the United States eavesdrop on overseas communications more widely and with less judicial oversight than in the past was reinstated Monday by a federal appeals court that said new rules regarding surveillance had put lawyers, journalists and human rights groups in a "lose-lose situation."

A judge temporarily blocked the law from taking effect, raising the possibility that the Legislature may have to vote again to pass the bill that attracted protests as large as 85,000 people, motivated Senate Democrats to escape to Illinois for three weeks and made Wisconsin the focus of the national fight over union rights.

In its annual Retirement Confidence Survey, it found that worker expectations for their later years withered in the face of high unemployment, government budget problems, rising health care costs, lower investment returns and other factors.
But the study's authors saw a silver lining in the findings because it suggests workers are finally facing up to the harsh realities of retirement, circa 2011.

Joe Antonio Silversmith, a member of the Navajo Code Talkers who confounded the Japanese during World War II by transmitting messages in their native language, has died. He was 86.

Just when the U.S. economy seemed to be getting its footing, a number of new obstacles risk tripping it up.
A spike in oil prices due to spreading unrest in the Middle East is the highest profile problem, but not the only one.

As the players here remake the nation's vast regulatory system, they have been grappling with a subject that is more the province of poets and philosophers than bureaucrats: what is the value of a human life?

The answer determines how much spending the government should require to prevent a single death.
To protests from business and praise from unions, environmentalists and consumer groups, one agency after another has ratcheted up the price of life, justifying tougher — and more costly — standards.

The proposal has the support of seven of the committee's 11 members. A vote by the full Senate is expected to be close: 23 senators have pledged their support, 24 are needed to advance the bill to the House. Gov. Martin O'Malley, a Democrat, has said he would sign the measure into law if it reaches his desk.
If approved, Maryland would become the sixth state in the nation to certify same-sex marriages.

The leader of an anti-illegal-immigrant group was convicted Monday in a home invasion robbery that left a 9-year-old girl and her father dead in what prosecutors said was an attempt to steal drug money to fund the group's operations.

A Tucson jury found Shawna Forde, 42, guilty of murder in the May 2009 killings of Raul Flores, 29, and his daughter Brisenia at their home in Arivaca, a desert community 10 miles north of Mexico.

California court administrators failed to properly plan for and realistically budget a massive computer modernization project that has fallen years behind schedule and on which the cost could balloon from the original estimate of $260 million to $1.9 billion, state auditors said Tuesday.

As a result, State Auditor Elaine Howle recommended that the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) delay moving forward with installing the system until an independent reevaluation is conducted of potential problems with the California Court Case Management System.

"Their mission was almost complete, and we lost them so close to home. The men and women of the Columbia had journeyed more than 6 million miles and were minutes away from arrival and reunion.
"The loss was sudden and terrible, and for their families, the grief is heavy. Our nation shares in your sorrow and in your pride. And today we remember not only one moment of tragedy, but seven lives of great purpose and achievement."
With these words, President George W. Bush began his tribute to the heroic men and women who lost their lives aboard the Columbia Space Shuttle during the STS-107 mission.

Returning to work is an economic necessity for some retirees and a personal choice for others. Either way, the prospect of long commutes and annoying co-workers can be daunting. A good compromise might be to find a work-at-home job.
That's what Jackie Booley did. In 2007, she retired from her position as an AT&T call center manager. Her husband had recently died from chronic kidney failure, and Booley, then 61, was exhausted from serving as his primary caregiver while holding down full-time employment.
But retirement proved to be short-lived. Two years later, with energy restored and her nest egg depleted, she found a part-time job that allowed her to work from home. Now, when you dial Office Depot's toll-free number, you may be speaking with Booley in the spare bedroom of her Ocala, Fla., home.

Having spent 35 of his 59 years in a wheelchair, Boca Raton attorney Bob Pearce knows the needs of the disabled are often ignored. But he didn't expect to have his rights violated at the federal courthouse.
A routine hearing turned ugly when security guards blocked him from parking in one of six empty handicap spaces in the sprawling lot in front of the downtown courthouse.
The alternative they suggested, a public lot nearby, left him stranded atop a steep hill. He made it to the hearing after flagging down a stranger, who grabbed the handles of his chair and wheeled him safely down the incline.

But he was outraged. So was the judge.

I started working through a list of sites to search for unclaimed assets. I started at MissingMoney.com where I searched the states I'd lived in over the past two decades; it could just be that I had a bank account I hadn't quite settled out or a pay stub from some long-forgotten waitress job. Virginia (where I went to college and worked after business school) turned up nothing; so did Pennsylvania (business school#; North Carolina #my first real job as an investment banker) and New York (Wall Street and a few years sharing a condo with an ex-boyfriend, who absolutely would not forward my mail). Many states have proprietary unclaimed cash sites and do not submit their data to MissingMoney.com or its partner site, Unclaimed.org, including my residence for the last nine years, Oregon. While I was searching Oregon's site, I hit pay dirt.

The United States government's debt surpassed the $14 trillion mark on Saturday, inching closer to the $14.3 trillion debt limit.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner earlier this month asked that Congress act quickly to raise the limit.

"Default would effectively impose a significant and long-lasting tax on all Americans and all American businesses and could lead to the loss of millions of American jobs," Geithner wrote in a letter to House Speaker John Boehner. "Even a very short-term or limited default would have catastrophic economic consequences that would last for decades."

Former business owners, and middle class families, you wouldn't think of those people as being homeless. But in these tough times, that's how many families in our area now find themselves.
A report out last month showed the number of people homeless in America has jumped nine percent.
While some people associate homelessness with drug addiction and alcoholism, that's not entirely the case.

Perhaps it's no great surprise that Glenn Beck would distort Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s message, as he did when he held a rally for mostly white reactionaries on the 47th anniversary of King's "I Have a Dream" speech in August, all the while suggesting that the group was "reclaiming the civil rights movement." After all, what do you expect from Beck?

But Michelle Obama really should know better.

And since she most certainly does, her message, which I only today received as part of a mass e-mail honoring Martin Luther King Jr. Day, strikes me as particularly disturbing. Even more, it seems indicative of a tendency, many years in the making, for even relatively liberal folks to sanitize the King legacy to a point where it is unrecognizable as the radical gift it truly was.

It's a common proclamation heard at this time of year, reinforced by schools, politicians, and civic leaders who apparently believe Dr. King was just as concerned with community beautification and the sustainability of the Red Cross as with those things he called the triple evils of America: racism, poverty and militarism.

Feeding homeless people BANNED IN HOUSTON

A Cache County school bus driver was arrested Friday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence with a gun.

Tamara Gustaveson, 56, was arrested after police say she failed a field sobriety test in the parking lot of a Ridleys Market grocery store in Hyrum. Cache County Sheriff's Lt. Chad Jensen says Gustaveson told police that she was cut off by another driver at about 7:50 a.m. Friday and got into an argument with that driver

Some residents tell 9NEWS NOW that the increased police patrols following the murder spike in Prince George's County has led to some questionable activity.
"The yanked me out of the car, put a knee on my back, and checked my rectum several times," said a 20 year old man who did not want to use his name.

A Williamson County woman fought off an intruder with a vacuum cleaner. She was desperate for help, waiting for almost 35 minutes for law enforcement to arrive.
The single mom described that 35 minutes like the scene of a horror movie as she watched a man walk from windows to doors doing anything to break in to her home.

Kentucky police were following a man who had just sold drugs to an undercover informant. They entered an apartment breezeway, heard a door slam and found they had two choices.
Behind door No. 1 was the dealer. And, unfortunately for him, behind door No. 2 were Hollis King and friends, smoking marijuana.
Smelling the drug, the officers banged loudly on King's apartment door and identified themselves as police. The officers said they heard a noise and feared evidence was being destroyed. They kicked down the door and found King, two friends, some drugs and cash.

And this is where the problem begins.

To hear a number of prominent economists tell it, it doesn't look good for the U.S. economy, not this year, not in 10 years.
Leading thinkers in the dismal science speaking at an annual convention offered varying visions of U.S. economic decline, in the short, medium and long term. This year, the recovery may bog down as government stimulus measures dry up.
In the long run, the United States must face up to inevitably being overtaken by China as the world's largest economy. And it may have missed a chance to rein in its largest financial institutions, many of whom remain too big to fail and are getting bigger.

The IRS routinely imposes liens on delinquent taxpayers, thereby damaging their credit scores and potentially jeopardizing their access to jobs, insurance and even rental housing, National Taxpayer Advocate Nina E. Olson said in an annual report to Congress.
By making it harder for taxpayers to get back on their feet, the IRS might actually reduce long-term tax collections, Olson wrote.
Olson serves as an independent ombudsman within the IRS, and her office helps taxpayers resolve problems with the agency.
She has complained about indiscriminate use of liens in the past but emphasized the issue in her latest report, saying the IRS has refused to moderate its practices "despite the worst economy in at least a generation."

The al Qaeda group that built two toner-cartridge bombs in an unsuccessful attempt to blow up planes in October also has contemplated spreading poison on salad bars and buffets at U.S. hotels and restaurants, U.S. officials told CNN Tuesday.
But U.S. officials sought to downplay the threat -- first reported by CBS News -- saying it was months old, and that it was more in the nature of a discussion of "tactics" than an actual plot. Officials implied the tactic is beyond the capabilities of the terrorist organization, which is based in the Middle East.

America's neighborhoods took large strides toward racial integration in the last decade as blacks and whites chose to live near each other at the highest levels in a century.
Still, segregation in many parts of the U.S. persisted, with Hispanics in particular turning away from whites.

A broad range of 2009 census data released Tuesday also found a mixed economic picture, with the poverty rate swinging wildly among counties from 4 percent to more than 40 percent as the nation grappled with a housing boom and bust. Just three U.S. localities reported median household income of more than $100,000, down from seven in 2000.
Segregation among blacks and whites increased in one-fourth of the nation's 100 largest metropolitan areas, compared to nearly one-half for Hispanics.

His brother has hanged himself. His father is serving a 150-year prison sentence for perpetuating the world's biggest Ponzi scheme. For Andrew Madoff, life just keeps getting worse.

The surviving son of admitted swindler Bernard Madoff is the focus of a federal criminal probe, along with other family members. He also faces more than 1,000 civil suits filed by investors and separate actions filed by Irving Picard, the court-appointed trustee recovering assets for the victims.

He has not spoken publicly since Saturday, when his 46-year-old brother, Mark Madoff, was found dead.

Federal law enforcement agencies have been tracking Americans in real-time using credit cards, loyalty cards and travel reservations without getting court orders for the "hotwatch".

Three friends had just finished their shifts at a McDonald's when prosecutors say they carried out a gruesome attack on a customer: They allegedly shaped a coat hanger into a swastika, placed it on a heated stove and branded the symbol on the arm of the mentally disabled Navajo man.
Authorities say they then shaved a swastika on the back of the 22-year-old victim's head and used markers to scrawl messages and images on his body, including "KKK," ''White Power," a pentagram and a graphic image of a penis.
The men have become the first in the nation to be charged under a new law that makes it easier for the federal government to prosecute people for hate crimes.
The case also marked the latest troubling race-related attack in this New Mexico community, prompting a renewed focus among local leaders on improving relations between Navajos and whites.

Sarah Palin is demanding the world hunt down the director of Wikileaks "with the same urgency we pursue al Qaeda and Taliban leaders."
On her Facebook site, Palin described Julian Assange as "an anti-American operative with blood on his hands."
Assange, who created the non-profit, whistle-blowing site to expose government secrets, has made no appearance recently. On Sunday, Wikileaks began the release of a quarter-million U.S. diplomatic messages from embassies around the world.
"What steps were taken to stop" Assange? Palin asked. Why haven't NATO, the EU and anyone else been asked to disrupt Wikileaks?
"Shouldn't they at least have had their financial assets frozen?"
The blame, she said, lies with "the Obama administration's incompetent handling of this whole fiasco.

Cities are bracing to lose millions of dollars in funding for transportation and community projects, from subway lines to youth centers, because of a renewed push in Congress to ban lawmaker-directed spending known as "earmarks."
With the incoming Republican majority in the House of Representatives committed to ending the practice and the Senate facing a vote to ban earmarks today, local officials are scrambling to find ways to pay for projects in case the federal funding never arrives.

Convicted murderer Stephen Michael West was due to be executed tomorrow in Tennessee by lethal injection, but the state's Supreme Court put it on hold until a lower court figures out if authorities are killing prisoners the right way.

A Michigan man who survived bladder cancer in 2007 has now been forced to survive humiliation at the hands of the TSA, whose airport screeners spilled urine on him during a recent security check at Detroit's airport.

Thomas Sawyer, 61, was flying to Orlando, Fla., on Nov. 7 with his wife to attend a wedding. Since having part of his bladder removed because of cancer, Sawyer wears a urostomy bag attached to a tube from his abdomen.

The TSA has been hit with a number of lawsuits as the revolt against Big Sis, naked body scanners, and invasive groping measures explodes, with one case involving a woman who had her blouse pulled down in full public view by TSA goons who then proceeded to laugh and joke about her exposed breasts.

A driver convicted of manslaughter for killing a 14-year-old Connecticut boy is suing the victim's parents for negligence, claiming they let their son ride his bike on a busy road without a helmet.

The Associated Press reports that David Weaving, who is serving a 10-year sentence for slamming his car into Matthew Kenney, is suing Kenney's parents for $15,000 for causing him "great mental and emotional pain and suffering" and inhibiting his "capacity to carry on in life's activities."

The unusual claim is a countersuit. Last year, Matthew's parents, Stephen and Joanne Kenney, sued 48-year-old Weaving for $15,000 for negligence in their son's death.

Child Poverty
Nearly 15 million children in the United States – 21% of all children – live in families with incomes below the federal poverty level – $22,050 a year for a family of four. Research shows that, on average, families need an income of about twice that level to cover basic expenses. Using this standard, 42% of children live in low-income families.

Recent studies indicate that the "costs associated with providing housing for individuals and families who are homeless within a program exceeds the Fair Market Rent cost of providing rental assistance without supportive services." Within this study, there is a simple and beautifully laid out plan to curb the overwhelming costs of homelessness in America that can be used abroad as well. Sadly, most voters see these plans as handouts to belligerent and undeserving bums who need to hurry up and die.

Retired U.S. Army Capt. Ferris Butler is one of the lucky ones. He came home from Iraq. "I don't consider myself a disabled veteran," he says. "I consider myself a veteran."

But he is a veteran who lost both of his legs below the knee after an IED went off under the Humvee he was riding in. It happened in Iraq's Sunni Triangle on Dec. 21, 2006. Butler has no trouble pinpointing that date. But he has another date in mind this week -- Nov. 11, Veterans Day, when he and his wife, Laura Sauriol, get a new home.

The looming fight between President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans over spending cuts and taxes got something of a referee, but one unlikely to avoid a fiscal brawl amid burgeoning budget deficits and a still painfully weak economy.

Obama's bipartisan federal debt commission, led by former Republican Sen. Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles -- a White House chief of staff under President Bill Clinton and now head of the North Carolina state university system -- have begun considering a draft proposal that aims to cut about $4 trillion in projected deficits over the next decade.

No one at the Central Intelligence Agency will face criminal charges for destroying videotapes that showed suspected terrorists being waterboarded, the Justice Department announced today.

After an "exhaustive" investigation spanning nearly three years, federal prosecutor John Durham has decided not to bring charges in the case, Department of Justice spokesman Matthew Miller said today in a statement.

Chris Matthews: "I consider this whole thing disgustingly ad hominem, it's an attack on our president, and sometimes I do think there is an ethnic aspect. I've never heard of a president being attacked on the cost of his trip, like he is not worthy to travel. Because of what? Why isn't he worthy to make a presidential trip?"

Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano has already frozen work on the controversial "virtual fence" that was supposed to secure roughly 1,900 miles along the United States' southwest border. Now, she's expected to announce its cancellation by mid-November.

SBInet was supposed to integrate data from radar, cameras and other sensors to create a virtual fence that would alert border patrol agents of attempted illegal entries. But the program has been plagued by cost, schedule and technical problems.

The most important numbers foreshadowing Tuesday's seismic election outcome didn't come from political polls or popularity surveys. It wasn't the ubiquitous tabulations of likely voters or the live-or-die party calculations for their get-out-the-vote drives, either.

The 2010 midterms were all about the jobs.

"It's clear that the voters sent a message, which is they want us to focus on the economy and jobs and moving this country forward," President Barack Obama said today while discussing the results after a Cabinet meeting.

According to their lawyers, Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei, the Rutgers first-years accused of webcam-spying on Ravi's roommate Tyler Clementi days before Clementi's suicide, didn't see Clementi having sex—and therefore, the attorneys say, the charges won't hold up.

Nouriel Roubini, the New York University economics professor with the nickname "Dr. Doom," has written an editorial in the Financial Times titled: A presidency heading for a fiscal train wreck. In it, Roubini gives plenty of credit to President Obama and his administration for preventing another depression, but he fears the president's policies were too short-term. And with the looming political change in Washington and two years of gridlock in prospect, those policies will not only expire, leaving fiscal pain, but new ones won't be implemented.

Mark Twain is supposed to have said that "there is nothing that cannot happen today." The quote seemed appropriate when we learned that Justice Sandra Day O'Connor was the voice behind a campaign robo call that tens of thousands of Nevadans received at 1 a.m. earlier this week. The call was made by a telemarketing firm that has done work for Sen. Harry Reid, was paid for by a group called "Nevadans for Qualified Judges" and urged voters to "Vote yes on Question One."

Pakistani-born U.S. citizen was arrested today for allegedly plotting a series of bomb attacks on Metrorail stations in the Washington, D.C., area, federal officials said.

Farooque Ahmed, 34, of Ashburn, Va., is accused of providing material assistance to people he believed to be affiliated with al-Qaida, the Department of Justice said.

He believed they were planning a series of attacks on Metro stations in 2011, the Justice Department said.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – This state's official name — The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations — is more than just a mouthful. To many, it evokes stinging reminders of Rhode Island's prime role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
Voters next Tuesday will decide whether to change the name by dropping the words "and Providence Plantations." The issue has been debated for years, but lawmakers last year authorized a ballot question for the first time following an impassioned debate over race relations, ancestry and history.

Four Loko, an alcoholic beverage referred to as "blackout in a can," is the culprit behind several hospitalizations after students at a Central Washington University party overdid it on the potent elixir.

The Oct. 8 house party, which counted around 50 youth -- many of them underage -- ended with nine partygoers being taken to the hospital with symptoms of life-threatening overdose or intoxication.

October 22, 2010 (GLENDALE, CA) – Nestlé USA's Confections & Snacks Division is initiating a voluntary recall of Nestlé® RAISINETS® Fun Size Bags (10oz) with a production code of 02015748/UPC number 2800010255, which may contain undeclared peanuts. People who have allergies or severe sensitivity to peanuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products. Nestlé is taking this action out of an abundance of caution.

Government-funded unemployment insurance payments have probably kept millions of people from living on the streets and starving during this recession. So naturally, jobless benefits are to blame for the high unemployment rate. Or so argues Harvard professor Robert Barro in The Wall Street Journal. JPMorgan Chase (JPM) issued a similar analysis in March 2010. Still, that logic isn't persuasive -- although it's popular among those who would like to roll back the U.S. to the way it was before FDR.

What do you think you'll be doing at age 67?

According to a survey by Sun Life Financial of a sampling of people aged 18 to 66, 49% of Americans believe they will be retired and not working at all; 24% think they'll work part-time and 25% say they'll still be working full-time when they hit 67, two years past the age most people have traditionally hung up the work boots.

Why? The answer is simple, 80% said they don't expect to have enough money to retire.

An institutionalized system of skewed incentives allowed Wall Street bankers and other corporate executives to gamble with America's wealth and then get away largely scot-free after the house of cards came tumbling down, plunging the U.S. into the worst economic crisis in decades and destroying trillions of dollars of wealth worldwide.

During a wide-ranging interview with DailyFinance at AOL headquarters in New York City this week, Stiglitz, who served as chief economist of the World Bank from 1997-2000 and is currently University Professor at Columbia University, explained how the availability of cheap money #thanks in large measure to former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan#, combined with outright mortgage fraud and deceptive and predatory lending practices put millions of people into homes they couldn't afford and caused real estate prices to skyrocket. That created a bubble that would inevitably pop. #See video below, or read the full interview transcript.)

LOS ANGELES (Oct. 23) - Matthew Garcia was surfing two feet away from his friend who was bodyboarding when he heard a desperate cry for help. Within seconds, a shark flashed out of the water, bit into his friend's leg and pulled him under in a cloud of blood off the coast north of Santa Barbara.

"When the shark hit him, he just said, 'Help me, dude!' He knew what was going on," Garcia told the AP as he recounted his friend's death. "It was really fast. You just saw a red wave and this water is blue - as blue as it could ever be - and it was just red, the whole wave."

As huge waves broke over his head, Garcia tried to find Lucas Ransom in the surf but couldn't. He decided to get help, but turned around again as he was swimming to shore and saw Ransom's red bodyboard pop up. Garcia swam to his friend and did chest compressions as he brought him to shore.

LAS VEGAS — The Nevada Supreme Court refused Friday to overturn former football star O.J. Simpson's armed robbery and kidnapping convictions, rejecting a claim that prospective jurors were dismissed because they were black.
Simpson attorney Yale Galanter planned to take Simpson's appeal to federal court after his 2008 conviction in the gunpoint heist in a Las Vegas hotel room was upheld.
"This is but the first step in a very long line of appeals that Mr. Simpson has before him," Galanter said.

Women have seen their median annual earnings fall by 2.8 percent since December 2007 and have lost a total of 2.6 million jobs, reports the Department of Labor. At the same time, our slice of the bread-winning has become more significant: Nearly four out of 10 mothers today are the primary breadwinners in their families, says the NEC report. And during the recession, women who provide the sole income for their households had an unemployment rate of 13.6 percent, their highest in more than 25 years.

In the course of one day, Lt. Dan Choi, a gay Iraq war veteran, has gone from ecstatic to devastated.

On Wednesday, he gleefully announced he'd begun the process of re-enlisting in the Army because the controversial "don't ask, don't tell" policy had been suspended. Today, he was back where he started after the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco granted the Obama administration's request to freeze the suspension.

"President Obama is playing politics. There's no reason you should force people to lie to serve their country," Choi said today on C-SPAN's "Washington Journal" program.

A former worker at the U.S. Postal Service's Baltimore distribution center, admitted in federal court that he regularly rifled through greeting cards, stealing cash and gift cards and discarding the rest.

Americans may have shot themselves in the foot when it comes to retiring in a timely fashion. A recent study conducted by the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College, recently reported that American workers ( ages 32-64 ) are a stunning $6.6 trillion short of budget.

The cheers of " folk hero " have subsided and the emergency slide is re-secured in the airplane. Now JetBlue's infamous flight attendant Steven Slater, who made arguably the most epic, if not ill advised " I quit " exit in recent memory, has pleaded guilty to one count of felony attempted criminal mischief and one count of misdemeanor criminal mischief.

Gunshots struck the Pentagon before dawn today and authorities briefly shut down the massive complex and nearby interstate as they searched for a possible source.

Young adults are the new face of homelessness. It's a group driven by two large converging forces: an economy that's been especially brutal on young people and the large number currently exiting foster care.

The stepmother of a 10 year old disabled girl, who is missing and feared slain, appeared in court to face a felony obstruction of justice charge in the case.

A federal judge's order to halt enforcement of the military's " don't ask, don't tell " policy, was hailed by gay activists as a landmark ruling in their struggle to expand their rights.

But something else made the case significant. The group that filed the lawsuit was the Log Cabin Republican, a gay advocacy organization.

Does free speech extend to vanity license plates? 2nd U.S. Circuit Court Judge Debra Ann Liningston, hands down interesting ruling concerning vanity plates that refer to a religion or deity.

Mexico officials reportedly have identified two suspects in alleged shooting of an American man, on a Texas-Mexico border
lake.

Evidence of attack on a lake between the U.S. and Mexico has arisen.

8 year old boy stabbed in random attack.
