Group promotes immigration reform to save the bay, others blame farm pollution
In a new report, the Federation for American Immigration Reform is blaming the overpopulation of the Chesapeake Bay watershed, and the resulting environmental destruction, on the influx of immigrants coming into the area
The group’s media director Ira Mehlman said there are obviously other factors, but “immigration is the single largest factor of population growth in the United States. It has to be looked at as a factor” of environmental problems in the area.
The group, which began in 1979, is dedicated to preventing population growth through mass immigration. In a report it released last month, the group, citing U.S. Census data, claimed th...
Canada’s federal government disassociated itself on Thursday from an embarrassing official policy paper that said the country’s independent energy regulator, now studying a controversial oil pipeline, is in fact a government ally.
Critics have long charged the right-of-center Conservative government is trying to pressure the regulator – the National Energy Board (NEB) – to approve Enbridge Inc.’s plan to build a pipeline from the Alberta oil sands to the Pacific Coast.
The NEB this month started hearings into the $5.5-billion Northern Gateway pipeline, which the government says is needed to send more oil to Asian markets.
Opponents of the pipeline include green groups and some...
Haircut Negotiations – Hedge Funds Bet On Profits From Greek Debt Talks
The negotiations over the Greek debt haircut are becoming increasingly suspenseful, with euro-zone finance ministers and the IMF pushing investors to accept greater losses. Hedge funds, more than any others, stand to profit, and are betting that the voluntary debt rescheduling will fail.
Who will bleed for Greece? For weeks, private creditors like banks and insurers have been trying to negotiate a debt rescheduling with the country without success. Even when they seem close to agreement, it remains unclear if all creditors are on board. In particular, hedge funds that own Greek bonds could have a significant interest in ignoring the results of the negotiations, instead preferring to focus on...

Former U.S. Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich of Georgia won the Republican Party South Carolina presidential primary yesterday with 243,153 votes (40.4%). FormerMassachusetts governor Mitt Romney, who won the New Hampshire primary last week, came in second with 167,279 (27.8%). The result reflects a shift in polling just days before the election, following two Grand Old Party (GOP) debates and a highly publicized interview with Gingrich’s ex-wife.
In his victory speech, Gingrich criticized President Barack Obama and the “media elites”, and alluded to the well-funded Romney when arguing, “We don’t have the kind of m...

Samsung is working on display technologies which will make these tablets flexible (just like the paper magazines) and even transparent.
According to a Samsung post, “Tablets have come a long way since the first ones hit the market in 2010, but there’s still plenty of room for new innovations.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Demo Reviewed
The Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (KoAR) demo was released on Steam and I had a chance to put about an hour into it. I’ve been hard on the game in the past for it’s very generic nature in the marketing spins produced by it’s developer 38 Studios. Having played the demo now, I am still worried the title is a little bit too generic fantasy to rise above the field. However, there were a couple bright spots that gave me some hope for the game.
KoAR starts as almost any RPG starts by providing an origin story for the player’s character. In this case, the player’s avatar died on a foreign battlefield and their body dumped into the Well of Souls. As luck wou...
World economy will lose momentum in 2012 – polls
The world economy will lose momentum in 2012 but it will keep moving in the right direction, according to Reuters polls of around 600 economists who said crisis-hit Europe would drag on global growth.
Asian economies will again power the expansion of the world economy this year, but with relatively subdued performances. The United States, meanwhile, should continue to contribute modest growth that will easily outpace its recession-hit European peers. Brazil will be one of the few big economies that will pick up steam this year, outshining slower Latin American stablemates Mexico and Argentina.
A Reuters poll that covers all of the top 20 developed and emerging econom...

Israel approves harsher penalties for illegal migrants
Israel’s parliament has approved a bill that would make it possible to imprison illegal migrants for life over property crimes and detain them for up to three years without trial, AP reports.
The harsh penalties are aimed at trying to stanch a flood of illegal immigration from Africa. Critics say the new law is unconstitutional and tramples human rights.
Anyone caught helping migrants could face prison terms of up to 15 years.
The government estimates 50,000 Africans have illegally entered Israel since 2006. It says most seek a more comfortable life and are not fleeing persecution.
The influx has touched off a national debate. Some Israelis say the migrants are a burden and dilute Israel&#...
President Obama Rejects Keystone XL Pipeline
The Obama administration today formally rejected a bid by Canadian energy company TransCanada to build a $7 billion oil pipeline linking the tar sands of Alberta to refineries on the Gulf of Mexico.
The Keystone XL project, which was estimated to create thousands of U.S. jobs, became an election-year lightning rod, embroiling President
Obama, congressional Republicans, labor unions and interest groups in a heated debate over jobs and the environment.
The State Department, which holds the authority to approve or reject pipelines that cross an international boundary, said in November that it would delay a decision on Keystone to allow for further study of the environmental impact along its 1,700-mile route.
Windows 8 Likely To be Harsh To Intel In 2012, Reports Analyst
Intel may have to undergo through a challenging 2012 before it foresees any true windfall from the recently released Windows 8, as reported by Piper Jaffray, an investment bank.
“We believe that CY12 (the calendar year-2012) is being shaped up as a difficult year for the processor manufacturing giant. We expect the 2H12 (2nd half of 2012) to be a weaker one regarding the commercial intro of Windows 8 which is being considered as the most significant and practical upgrade to the windows operating system since the release of Windows 3.0,” wrote Gus Richard, an analyst from the Piper Jaffray.
On the other hand, Intel usually benefits from the upgrades to Microsoft operating system as many companies ...
Scientists Warn: Fake And Poor Quality Malaria Drugs Risk Crisis In Africa
Hopes of controlling malaria in Africa could be wrecked by criminals who are circulating counterfeit and substandard drugs, threatening millions of lives, scientists are warning.
They are calling for public health authorities to take urgent action to preserve the efficacy of the anti-malarials now being used in the worst-hit areas of the continent.
