Reuters – UPDATE 1- US Prosecutors Consider Using Racketeering Law Against SAC-Source – 22 May 2013

By Emily Flitter

May 21 (Reuters) – U.S. prosecutors are considering charging Steven A. Cohen’s SAC Capital Advisors as a criminal enterprise engaged in a long pattern of insider trading in stocks, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Prosecutors may use the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, most commonly associated with prosecutions against the mafia, to move against Cohen’s $15 billion hedge fund company, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Scientists Are Now Making Human-Animal Hybrids (Again) – 22 May 2013

Posted by Raidersnewsupdate – In just the past few months, scientists at the University of Wisconsin and the University of Rochester have published data on their human-animal neural chimeras. For the Wisconsin study, researchers injected mice with an immunotoxin to destroy a part of their brains–the hippocampus–that’s associated with learning, memory, and spatial reasoning. Then the researchers replaced those damaged cells with cells derived from human embryos. The cells proliferated and the lab chimeras recovered their ability to navigate a water maze.

For the Rochester study, researchers implanted newborn mice with nascent human glial cells, which help support and nourish neurons in the brain. Six months later, the human parts had elbowed out the mouse equivalents, and the animals had enhanced ability to solve a simple maze ;and learn conditioned cues. It may not be so long before we’re faced with some hairy bioethics: What rights should we
assign to mice with human brains?>>>More Life News

DutchNews – Dutch Firms Exported Chemicals To Syria With Weapons Potential – 22 May 2013

Wednesday 22 May 2013

Dutch companies have for years been selling chemicals to Syria which can be used to make chemical weapons, according to research by the NRC and RTL news.

In 2003, for example, one Dordrecht-based company exported 160,000 litres of methyl ethyleen glycol to part of the Syrian defence ministry, RTL and the NRC say. The compound can be used to make antifreeze but is also used to make mustard and other toxic gas……..

John Ward – Analysis : Mark Carney & Melissa Meyer – Are They Mad? – 22 May 2013

Possibly not.

You read it here first: Mad Mark Carney, the incoming Bank of England Governor, is already fuelling speculation that he will try to relaunch quantitative easing (QE) and slash the Pound’s value when he arrives in the UK. Yesterday, he once more applauded Japan’s bonkers drive for growth. Carney has already said, bewilderingly, that Japan’s “bold policy experiment” to boost its QE programme and drive down the Yen is “not devaluation”. It looks like my tipster of last February was on the money, so if your money is in Sterling, it might be a good idea to get it out.

ZeroHedge – Tyler Durden – Ben Bernanke Crushes Hedge Funds : Average Hedgie Underperforming S&P by 65% In 2013 – 22 May 2013

Yes, yes, everyone knows hedge funds aren’t benchmarked to the S&P – after all they “hedge” for the broader market downside.

Here is the problem: having underperformed the S&P for five years in a row, many LPs are starting to get tired of not only underperforming stocks but paying out 2 and 20 on all the lost upside (and not only due to such leftfield surprises as RICO Stevie).

Music To Read By Below:

We’ve had a lot of rain lately, so I’ve spent some time pretty much like this picture. curled up in a cozy blanket with a cup of tea and I just spaced out in thought. Being a Gemini this is pretty easy for me. I started to wonder in my thoughts if we have taken enough time to really know what will be waiting for us at the end of this journey? As with anything, we need a plan of where we are going and what we are going to, otherwise how can we create our journey? We don’t know what the New World will be like, but we can know what we will be like. Right now we all are exhausted and often we sigh deeply and ask when are we ever going to get to the end of this road. I wonder if maybe we are holding up the process because we don’t have a clear idea of who we are going to be within ourselves. Sure we can paint our journey’s end with a broad brush and say Freedom is what we are going to, we will be free, but as it is always said in the rules of manifesting, you have to be clear with your intentions, be descriptive in details. Perhaps we need to spend more time creating in our minds what it is we will do, or what we want, when the battle with the darkness ends and we are free.

RemovingTheShackles – Political Correctness – 22 May 2013

There’s an annual contest at the Griffith’s University, Australia, calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term.

This year’s term was ‘political correctness’.

The winning student wrote:

‘Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional,
illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end.’
