(...) On redefining what it means to be part of the American middle class
We do need to redefine that. But that's a very, very tall order. But the beginning is to have Americans who are suffering from financial impotence — which is nearly half of America if you believe this data — it's them coming out and saying, "You want to know something? I'm tired of feeling like a failure because I'm told that everybody in America ought to be rich if only they work hard."

Every new chancellor wants to set their own budget after an election. But George Osborne isn’t a new chancellor. He inherits his own 2015-16 plan, and yet last night he told the Confederation of British Industry he will reopen it to cut more, tearing up every departmental and agency budget after

Officials Defend Handling of Ferguson Case
FEB. 20, 2015 The New York Times By ELI YOKLEY
ST. LOUIS — Last November, as a grand jury was wrapping up its
review of the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager by a police officer in
Ferguson, the prosecutor hoped that the decision could be announced on a Sunday
morning. At that time, he reasoned, many people would be in church or at home,
and the chances of a violent protest might be reduced. the day we ended operations, not one person lost their life,” he said. Officials Defend Handling of Ferguson Case,

11th Body, Believed to Be of Missing Woman, Is Found
December 13, 2011 The New York Times By MATT FLEGENHEIMER and NOAH ROSENBERG
They had planned to gather on Tuesday, on the barren shore along Ocean Parkway on Long Island, to remember the victims of a suspected serial killer, the remains found scattered among the area’s shrouded thickets over the past year. Instead, they paid special respects to the woman whose disappearance unfurled this grim string of mysteries in the first place. Hours before relatives of some of the victims were to hold their vigil, law enforcement officials said they had discovered what they believed to be the “skeletal remains” of Shannan Gilbert, a New Jersey prostitute last seen in May 2010. [ ... ] Over the past year, Ms. Gilbert seemed to find solace in the notion that her daughter’s disappearance had shined a light on other victims. “Everyone has their destiny,” she said last spring. “Maybe this was hers.” 11th Body, Believed to Be of Missing Woman, Is Found,
For sale is a fully operational Nikon FM body with body cap and strap. The screen and mirror are very clean and there are no dents or damage anywhere. There is some minor brassing to the black enamel on the back of the camera - visible in the photographs, and the remains of a personal address sticker on the baseplate. I am selling this camera and associated Nikon equipment for a friend, to whom I will direct any detailed questions about the camera's past history. All I (Ivor Matanle) can tell you is that this is a thoroughly nice looking body with a bit of dust around and that works well. And when a Nikon FM works well, they deliver superb results.

Hepatitis C timebomb may kill 150,000
By Jeremy Laurance, Health Editor Published: 30 September 2005 The Independent
Up to 150,000 people in Britain are expected to die over the next 20 years from a treatable disease that most do not know they have. A silent epidemic of hepatitis C, a blood-borne virus, has infected an estimated 500,000 people in the UK and new cases are rising faster here than in other European countries, specialists said yesterday. Typical victims of the illness are middle-class professional men and women who dabbled in drugs in their youth and contracted the infection through sharing needles. Other people became infected through contaminated blood transfusions before testing for hepatitis C was introduced in 1991. The disease is already the main reason for liver transplants, and it will kill more people than Aids by 2020. The scale of the problem has been recognised by the Government, which published an action plan to tackle it last year. But in a report published yesterday, the Hepatitis C Trust, a charity for sufferers, said that Britain was at the bottom of the European league on treatment, with fewer than 2 per cent of cases receiving drugs, compared with 15 per cent in France. Drug treatment costs £6,000 to £12,000 per case, and cures more than half of sufferers. It has been approved for use on the NHS by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice), but the disease has no symptoms in its early stages and only one in 10 sufferers knows they are infected.

The latest internet craze of moblogging could be exploited by online paedophiles to "groom" young children, a safety group has warned. Moblogging is similar to "blogging", the term used for when children or adults upload photographs via their computer into their own personal on-line diary. In moblogging, the user sends the picture or text message to their internet journal with their mobile phone. Paedophiles could exploit net craze, PA, 8.2.2005.
'Everyone thinks they're different'
Last week 13-year-old Matthew Girvin died in hospital in Exmouth from a suspected heroin overdose, making him one of the drug's youngest victims. Here, Tony, a 23-year-old former heroin addict who began taking drugs at 11, tells how his life fell apart as he was gripped by addiction. He successfully gave up drugs three years ago after intensive treatment and counselling and now runs his own building company in Kent.
