Pentagon Instructs Officials to Cancel Contracts with ACORN. The Problem: They Don't Exist

While the DoD targets a community group that does no business with the Pentagon, actual corporate crooks go un-confronted and continue to rake in $ billions in contracts.

More depression in Western cultures

EVANSTON, Ill., Oct. 30 (UPI) -- U.S. researchers say those who genetically tend to depression do better in collectivist East Asian cultures compared to individualistic Western cultures.

The study, published in Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, suggests a genetic vulnerability to depression is much more likely to be realized in individualistic Western cultures than in an East Asian culture that is more about "we" than "me" and provides more social support.

Interesting theory. We do seem to have a lot of "me" people.

Man accidentally ejects himself from plane

It probably is best not to fiddle with switches or controls when riding in the back seat of an air force plane.

A man who failed to obey that principle found himself hurtling out of the cockpit, smashing through the Perspex canopy and into space after grabbing the black- and yellow-striped handle between his legs. He had inadvertently pulled the eject lever and found himself blasted 100 metres into the sky on his rocket-powered seat.
