The United States will do its part to reduce corruption in Afghanistan by examining its own contracts and projects, even as it is demanding the same from the Afghan government, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Friday.
He said the U.S. can exert the most leverage when it is signing the checks.
"The place for us to start is to deal with corruption that may be associated with contracts we're letting or work that we're having done and development projects that we are undertaking in partnership with others including with the Afghans," Gates said.

The University of Nebraska's governing board has voted down a proposal to restrict the school's rules governing embryonic stem-cell research beyond what the federal government allows.
The eight-member Board of Regents voted 4-4 Friday, defeating the resolution that would have restricted stem cell experiments to cell lines approved under President George W. Bush. President Barack Obama removed government funding restrictions on new stem-cell lines earlier this year.
A majority of votes is needed for a proposal to pass.

Norm Olson's genial tone belies his reputation as a radical militiaman, yet here he is, at 63, an affable grandfather explaining why Americans should arm themselves against their government.
Walking stick in hand, clad in military fatigues, he strolls a trail in the woods near his home, located on 22 acres near Nikiski, a small, unincorporated community with isolated roads and no local government.
The nearest state trooper post is two towns away.

The head of the People's Bank of China said yesterday the global financial crisis had halted efforts to make the yuan more convertible and the country was "passive" on the value of the US dollar because it did not affect its economy.
Zhou Xiaochuan's remarks at the BusinessWeek CEO Forum in Beijing came a few days after the visits of United States President Barack Obama and International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn earlier this week, both of whom urged Beijing to take steps towards ...

When the apocalypse comes, China will save the world.
Or at least that's how mainland audiences are interpreting 2012 , Hollywood's latest blockbuster disaster movie.
"It's about time the world sees us as a dominant ally," said Liu Xinliang, 27, a Beijing-based computer programmer who has watched the movie twice.

A US congressional advisory panel has voiced concern about Hong Kong's export controls, fearing the mainland could use the city to import sensitive technology.
In its annual report to the US Congress, the US-China Economic Security Review Commission also says that Hong Kong's autonomy is being "chipped away" by Beijing, which has mobilised its local representatives to increase its influence.
It describes Hong Kong as a "loophole for transferring sensitive technology to the mainland".

The United States is seeking the release of a US citizen detained in Beijing for two years, in a case similar to the detentions of Rio Tinto staff which launched an international debate over China's secrets laws.
Xue Feng, a geologist born in China, was detained late in 2007 after negotiating the sale of an oil-industry database to his employer at the time, a US-based consultancy.
"The US embassy in Beijing has raised Dr Xue's case with the Chinese government repeatedly at high levels for the past two years," embassy spokeswoman Susan Stevenson said yesterday.

The White House is on a collision course with Catholic bishops in an intractable dispute over abortion that could blow up the fragile political coalition behind President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.
A top Obama administration official is praising the new Senate health bill's attempt to find a compromise on abortion coverage -- even as an official of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops says Sen. Harry Reid's bill is the worst he's seen so far on the divisive issue.
The bishops were ...

The health bill is great for all legal Americans. The senate is adding provisions that give a person away out from a nursing home and will allow you to stay at home and have nurses and doctors come to your home.
There are a lot of goods and few wrongs for this health care deal. The cost and the new restraints are both beneifcial to the American citizens. We are at a time when anything is better than what we currently have.
I would like to think that GOD is guiding the president. He will be hated, and with this on his mind daily he is still trying. I love the president mainly for his efforts. He is a strong man. He has to be. People are very hard and judgemental on all his actions. I would not want his job. People are cruel. God will judge you in the end. Maybe the president should pray for you. Knowing and seeing his endless efforts, he does take time to pray for all Americans.

OBAMA MIGHT BE SOMEONES PRESIDENT BUT HE IS NOT THE PRESIDENT OF 60% OF THE VOTERS IN THE U.S. --OBAMA IS AN INEPT,INCOMPETENT,UNTRUST WORTHY AND CORRUPT--HIS ADMIN IS NOTHING BUT A GANG OF REPROBATES FROM THE GUTTER

For anyone wanting to know the details of what this bill is all about, you may go to docs.house.gov/rules/health/111_ahcaa.pdf and download the bill in its entirety (1900 pages) and see for yourself. If you examine it, and it is your duty as an american citizen to examine it, you will clearly see that this is not necessarily the salvation many are looking to find. I would also like to note that much less expensive than the Obama/Pelosi plan at a minimum of 17% of your yearly income is the option of self insurance. If you do your research and read the fine print, anyone can be self insured at a fraction of the cost of the fees of this plan. My husband as a smoker was quoted health insurance for less than $100 a month. That's $1200 a year in comparison to the minimum of $5300 under the proposed government plan. For those of you that plan to endorse it based on blind faith in Mr. Obama and congress, without performing due diligence by reading, you will probably be the first ones crying when your income is stolen by the government.

Oblabla won't be happy until the Chinese own American. He's been working towards that since he took office. What a shame we have this Muslim supporting America hating president with NO experience. Send him back to Acorn and let him teeth on that a while longer.
