This is the crap that happens in other parts of the world.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — A gunman opened fire on mourners outside a Las Vegas funeral home, wounding seven people before fleeing in a car, police said.
All the victims were hospitalized after Wednesday's shooting with injuries that were not life-threatening, according to police.
The suspect opened fire outside Palm Mortuary after a funeral just before 7 p.m.
Police spokesman Bill Cassell told the Las Vegas Sun that the shooter was mixing with mourners before he pulled out a gun and started firing.
Cassell said six adults and one juvenile were wounded. No names or ages were released.
Police are looking for the suspect, described as a Hispanic man wearing a red shirt, and investigating if the attack was gang related.
The funeral service was held for 21-year-old Andrews Armando Elena, who was stabbed to death on the Las Vegas Strip on June 25.

It is a no brainer that Syria is violating human rights, they have been doing it regularly for months(Years)
Skynews
The human rights group cites witness accounts of deaths in custody, torture and arbitrary detention during a military operation against civilians in Talkalakh, a town near the Lebanese border.
Tank units, security forces and pro-regime thugs moved into the town and killed as many as 36 people after weeks of protests calling for the removal of President Bashar al Assad, according to activists.
The report coincides with another military crackdown on the city of Hama, where tanks and soldiers have moved in after a week of massive anti-regime protests and are claimed to have killed more than 20.

Japan Plans Safety Tests of Nuclear Plants
Stress test time.
this could come up nothing but bad news for Japans Nuclear power plants.
Do they really know what the constant bombardment of earthquakes will do to a containment pit? Concrete can be fragile, stress cracks, shrinkage, crazing, all are constant problems with Concrete structures.
So with the help of Earthquakes, who knows what shape the reactors are in.
The New York Times
TOKYO — Japan will conduct new safety tests of its nuclear plants, the nation’s top energy official said on Wednesday, in a move aimed at persuading local communities to allow the restarting of idled nuclear reactors.
The official, Trade and Industry Minister Banri Kaieda, said the so-called stress tests will measure the plants’ ability to withstand larger-than-expected earthquakes and tsunamis, like those that disabled the Fukushima Daiichi plant in March.
He said the tests, which are modeled on those conducted by the European Union on its plants, are intended to give “a sense of assurance” to local residents.
Somali terror suspect goes on trial in New York
The Obama administration would rather let terrorists go then actually prosecute them, that is why they want to bring them into U.S. courts, they will get the full benefits of being a U.S. Citizen in court.
Instead of sending them to Gitmo where they belong and having them prosecuted there by a court that will at least convict them of their deeds, in a U.S. court they get to run their mouths and have a chance to con-volute and twist everything, and ultimately be set free within the U.S.
I much rather prefer the kill first method.
BBC
A Somali man has appeared in court in New York, charged with assisting al-Qaeda and militants from Somalia's al-Shabab group.
Ahmed Abdulkadir Warsame was seized in the Gulf of Aden in April and was then interrogated for two months on a US warship before his trial in America.
It is a sign of how President Barack Obama's administration plans to deal with terrorist suspects captured abroad, a BBC correspondent says...
The news agency adds that after the interrogation was complete, the FBI began questioning Mr Warsame from scratch - in a way that could be used in court.
The fact that Mr Warsame was held during his interrogation on the warship is a sign of how the US plans to deal with terrorist suspects seized abroad, the BBC's Tom Burridge in Washington reports.
Having promised - and so far failed - to close Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, President Obama is unlikely to want to increase the prison population there, our correspondent says.

Gaza City produces map highlighting local 'must sees'
I can't wait, Now that gaza haza map, I can put it on my list of shitholes of the world I have yet to visit! It's right up there with pakistan, somalia, assghanistan, yemen, Pretty much any Muslim Country!
Do they have a Hamas guided Bus tour? They could tour all the Martirdum sites, and possibly the Qassam rocket facilities, Oh Joy.
The Jerusalem Post
Blockaded by Israel and Egypt, impoverished and subject to Islamic strictures, the Gaza Strip isn’t on the itinerary of most of the world’s tourists, but thahttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gift hasn’t deterred Gaza City from producing a map highlighting local "must sees."
The map, which debuted this week, is the brainchild of students and lecturers at the Geography Department of the city’s University College of Applied Sciences (UCAS). Besides documenting its archaeological and tourist sites, the map includes practical information such as hospitals and government buildings. Funded by the Bank of Palestine, the English-language map is handed out free of charge...
Shurrab said there are enough tourists in the city, and plenty more visiting political activists to justify creating the map. Until now, the only tool available for them to navigate the city was a printout from Google Maps, which he said isn’t detailed enough.

Australian police get power to demand removal of burqas
An absolute no brainer, you can't go around breaking the law and expect to keep your face covered.
Extreme Muslim outrage the first time this is enforced in 3 2 ...
Dawn.com
SYDNEY: Police in the Australian state of New South Wales have been handed broad-based powers to demand the removal of burqas and other face veils so they can identify people suspected of committing a crime.
The state government approved the move late Monday after the recent case of a Muslim woman who was acquitted when a judge decided she could not be identified because was wearing a burqa.
“I don’t care whether a person is wearing a motorcycle helmet, a burqa, niqab, face veil or anything else, the police should be allowed to require those people to make their identification clear,” Premier Barry O’Farrell said.
The move follows the high-profile case of Carnita Matthews, who in November 2010 was sentenced to six months jail for falsely accusing police of forcibly trying to remove her burqa when she was stopped for a traffic offence.

Jesus Enrique Rejon Aguilar is identified as third in command of the criminal organization founded by former elite soldiers. Over the course of a decade, it went from being the military arm of the Gulf Cartel to its own drug-trafficking organization.
Rejon was one of Mexico's most-wanted men and the U.S. State Department had offered a $5 million reward for information leading to his arrest.

Petraeus marks July 4 with troops in Afghanistan
And don't forget about the troops.
The amazing U.S Military has helped secure or freedom and our independence, they deserve the biggest thanks.
AJC
The outgoing U.S. commander in Afghanistan marked his last Fourth of July ihttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifn uniform by speaking to American troops during a re-enlistment ceremony Monday in the country's restive south.
Gen. David Petraeus, who was recently confirmed as the next director of the CIA, told the 235 troops re-enlisting in Kandahar province that they have achieved progress on the battlefield but that "much work remains" to be done in Afghanistan.
"You raised your right hand and said 'Send me,' and today you raised your right hand again and said 'Send me again, if needed,'" he told the soldiers on America's 235th birthday.
"I cannot say how impressive your action is," he said. "It is the most meaningful display of patriotism possible."
Petraeus will be replaced by U.S. Marine Lt. Gen. John Allen even as 33,000 U.S. troops begin to withdraw from Afghanistan, the start of President Barack Obama's promised withdrawal of all combat troops by 2014.
Happy 4th of july, Americas Independence day.

Mich. Ban on Race in College Admissions Illegal
Point.
a sweeping law that forced the University of Michigan and other public schools to change admission policies.
The Duh!
The court mostly was concerned about how the affirmative action ban was created. Because it was passed as an amendment to the state constitution, it can only be changed with another statewide vote.
Yeah jackass, we passed it in a sweeping vote, that means it was a legit and unanimous vote.
Hey I guess we need to vote on again though.

A federal appeals court on Friday struck down Michigan's ban on the considhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.giferation of race and gender in college admissions, saying it burdens minorities and violates the U.S. Constitution.
The 2-1 decision upends a sweeping law that forced the University of Michigan and other public schools to change admission policies. The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the law, approved by voters in 2006, violates the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause.
The court mostly was concerned about how the affirmative action ban was created. Because it was passed as an amendment to the state constitution, it can only be changed with another statewide vote. This places a big burden on minorities who object to it, judges R. Guy Cole Jr. and Martha Craig Daughtrey said.
The ban's supporters could have chosen "less onerous avenues to effect political change," the judges said in the court's opinion.
Greece puts halt to Gaza flotilla in a win for Israel
This is the funniest crap going on right now, all these idiots are talking about sabotage to their boats, playing trumpets everywhere, it is like a hippie gathering; I'm surprised they have not had a damn drum circle.
Good for Greece, good for Israel, good for the normal people of the world.
As for Gaza and the douchebag hippies from America... HA HA.
Christian Science Monitor
A boat carrying a contingent of US activists seeking to join a flotilla of protesters against Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip were turned back by armed Greek commandos about 30 miles out of Athens today, in a major blow to the group and an apparent diplomatic victory for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Skip to next paragraph
Recent posts.
The US boat was carrying about 50 Americans, among them Pulitzer Prize-winning author Alice Walker and 85-year-old Holocaust survivor Hedy Epstein. As of the late evening in Greece, the boat was being detained at a Greek coastguard port.
Last year, a larger effort challenging the Gaza blockade ended in tragedy, when Israeli soldiers killed eight Turkish activists and one Turkish-American when they boarded the Mavi Marmara in international waters near Gaza. Israel says the blockade is necessary to prevent its Islamist rulers, Hamas, from getting weapons that could be used against Israel. Activists argue, however, that the blockade constitutes collective punishment and must be lifted altogether.
Last year's deaths were a political black eye for Israel, stirring global outrage and contributing to a chill in Israeli-Turkish relations. This year, Israel has been determined to head off the flotilla before it even takes to the sea. The Turkish Islamic charity IHH, which owns the Marmara, pulled out of this year's effort. Most activists believe that was due to pressure from the Turkish government, eager to get its relationship with Israel back on track.
Cuba would hurt if Chávez is replaced
So are we supposed to feel bad?
If any jackass ever deserved to die a slow painful death by cancer it is Hugo Chavez
and if Cuba suffers because of it, maybe they will wake up and be a normal country.
Enjoy your Communism Bitches.
The Miami Herald
Cuba would plunge swiftly into chaos if Venezuela’s ailing President Hugo http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifChávez is replaced by someone less willing to subsidize Havana to the tune of $3.5 billion this year, analysts said Friday.
Havana already is divided between older leaders determined to maintain a friendly regime in Caracas at all costs, they added, and others who view Chávez’ subsidies as disincentives to the profound economic reforms that Cuba desperately needs.
Chávez, who has been Cuba’s top ally and benefactor for nearly a decade and considers Fidel Castro as his top political mentor, announced from a Havana hospital Thursday that he has cancer, sparking immediate speculation about his and Venezuela’s political future.
A charismatic populist, he has no clear successor as head of the “21st Century socialism” also embraced in Bolivia and Nicaragua — and plenty of opponents ready to challenge his 12-year grip on power in presidential elections scheduled for next year.
Gaddafi vows revenge on Europe
Lookout Europe, Momadman is getting pissed.
Xinhuanet
NATO's airstrikes have further enraged the embattled Libyan leader. Gaddafi has threatened to carry out attacks in Europe, unless NATO halts its campaign against his government.
Gaddafi delivered the warning in a telephone speech to thousands of supporters gathered in the main square of the capital Tripoli. He warned that Libyans could take revenge on European homes, offices and families. He also denounced the rebels as traitors and blamed them for Libya's troubles.
Despite the current situation, the international community is still working on how to solve the Libyan crisis. African heads of state have been trying to reach consensus on what to do with Gaddafi.

Twenty civilians killed in Afghan mine bus blast

KABUL: Twenty Afghan civilians including women and children were killed inhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif a volatile southwestern province Thursday when a landmine exploded under a bus they were travelling in, police said.
“An IED (improvised explosive device) struck a bus, 20 civilians were killed,” said senior police figure Haji Mosa Rasooli, accusing the Taliban of being responsible for the blast.
The Islamist militants, who have been waging a near decade long insurgency against the Afghan government and foreign forces, were not immediately available for comment.
The blast occurred in the remote Nimroz province at around 4:00pm (1130 GMT) in the region’s Khash Rod district on the main highway to Kandahar, the de facto capital of southern Afghanistan.
The incident came on the same day as a father, a mother and their four children were killed in southern Afghanistan when a roadside bomb ripped through their car.
The family were travelling to Lashkar Gah, the main town in Helmand province, when they were killed, provincial spokesman Daud Ahmadi said.
Justice Department Launches Criminal Probe Into Deaths During CIA Interrogations
If the first few times you don't succeed try and try again!
It really seems as though the ultimate douche Eric Holder will not completely relax about anything that happened during The Bush Administration.
Foxnews
The Justice Department is moving forward with criminal investigations relating to CIA interrogations of two detainees who died in the agency's custody.
The decision, announced Thursday by Attorney General Eric Holder, is the result of a nearly two-year preliminary review into the Bush-era interrogations by prosecutor John Durham. Though the secretive probe has drawn fierce criticism from Republicans since it began, Holder reiterated Thursday that he will not abandon it.
In a statement, Holder said the review looked mostly at "whether any unauthorized interrogation techniques were used by CIA interrogators, and if so, whether such techniques could constitute violations of the torture statute or any other applicable statute."
Though the review now triggers a full investigation into two deaths, Holder indicated Justice would drop its review of the other cases.
"Mr. Durham and his team reviewed a tremendous volume of information pertaining to the detainees. ... Mr. Durham has advised me of the results of his investigation, and I have accepted his recommendation to conduct a full criminal investigation regarding the death in custody of two individuals. Those investigations are ongoing," Holder said. "The department has determined that an expanded criminal investigation of the remaining matters is not warranted." ...
Rahman died in the early hours of Nov. 20, 2002 after being shackled to a cold cement wall in a secret CIA prison in northern Kabul, Afghanistan, known as the Salt Pit. He was suspected of links to the terrorist group Al Qaeda.
Al-Jamadi died in 2003 at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. The death has been known to the public for years and a military autopsy declared al-Jamadi's death a homicide.
Chavez illness sparks power struggle in Venezuela
Hugo has Cancer, how fitting for a POS dictator.
And now their is a power struggle.
I wonder if anybody that is fighting for position has his same views?
(CNN) -- With no heir-apparent to Venezuela's presidency waiting in the wings, politicians are jockeying for power as President Hugo Chavez undergoes medical treatment in Cuba, analysts said.
The Venezuelan leader has kept a notably low profile in the nearly three weeks since officials first announced that doctors operated on him, sparking rampant speculation about his health and the country's political future.
His revelation Thursday night that doctors in Cuba had removed a cancerous tumor is likely to further fuel dissent in the ranks of Chavez's supporters, one former Venezuelan official said.
"The main conflicts are inside the Chavez forces, with different factions, over who is going to be the successor," said Moises Naim, a former Venezuelan trade minister who is a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
