Besides, there are lots of other news stations reporting on stuff like that, so it's only fair that we stick to the 'real' news that is out there, right?"

Second stealth jet puts China on path to top regional power: expert
Nothing much to comment on the article itself. But I went to the Chinese military forum where the photos come from, and there is a very interesting exchange there. "Did they (referring to all the news sources) pay any money for the copy right of the images?" Asked one guy mockingly since everybody knows that it is not going to happen. "Does the photo shooter dare to claim that those photos are his?" Retorted another. |

Today's New York Times carries an informative analysis of factional conflict at the top of the Chinese Communist Party as we head toward next week's Party Congress. At issue is the proposal to reduce the number of seats on the Politburo Standing Committee from nine to seven. Since the Committee operates by consensus, having fewer members may enable it to be more decisive. But a smaller committee also puts more power in the hands of the remaining members and reduces the opportunity to pay off factions within the Party by giving them a seat.

Bank of Montreal network is down. No one can log into their Online banking, or purchase anything with their BMO credit card or debit card. This is huge! The things you get screwed over for when you're expecting to pay for something and the card reader tells you no connection. Good thing I'm not doing anything today. I have vacation plans coming up that require a lot of credit card usage. This could be down for who knows how long. |

Fear and loathing in Athens: the rise of Golden Dawn and the far right
It is the Guardian after all so I'm not too sure if I should take it at face value but it sounds like someone's talking about the 1930's Germany or Italy which is a scary thought. Any Greeks still around to chime in?

Being a fan of a popular pop group can be a double-edged sword: sure they love them and thus they buy the records for a voting ticket, but with the new law fans sometimes risk being arrested by posting fan videos just to show their devotion and for trying to get the word out to the rest of the world. In this guy's case, he really tries to push the envelope and reasoning that he wanted to be popular. Damn, he should've known better. Also, given the low crime rate, well, as always the local cops are trying to look for anything they could get their hands on, even petty crimes; thus bribery and tax evasion cases resemble like war epics where cops and investigators come inside a tax evader's house as a big posse.
