		<description><![CDATA[The paper trail to STARK which could show how those five were bought and paid for(BAPF) has been discovered. Whether the administration dares to expose it before the election is not certain.

They will most assuredly be accused of either trying to intimidate SCOTUS, playing politics or stacking the court. 

The Right is aware of the possible imminent prosecutions of several Supreme Court Justices. That makes winning this election all the more important. 

They can not afford to not to hedge their bets so they have set out to steal the elections of not just the presidency but as many of the senate and house seats as they can on both the Federal and State level.

$2.3 Billion dollars has been amassed to storm the air waves for their candidates in the up coming elections. The 2010 elections were a practice run. 

The Dems were caught off guard during the 2010 elections. They have only recently put together the reason so many Republicans won in 2010. 

What they discovered is that the Tea Party was put together to be a blind for the huge amounts of money that were inserted in the campaigns of the republican candidates during the last few weeks of their campaigns.

That money was used to flood the airwaves with negative ads against the republican opponents. The result was that in every instance, the Dem candidate did not have the funds to answer those negative ads and they lost.

The public was left to believe that it was the republican platform that won the day.  Those candidates that won are BAPF.  They know who they owe their elections to and will obey their employers to the letter. 

The BAPF governors all set about setting up voter laws that will remove from the roles blacks, hispanics, and whites that then to vote democratic. 

The Right has decided if the white race is destined to lose it numerical voting majority, it can still maintain it by insuring they have control of WHO gets to vote and the vote count. 

To insure that they will have the vote count, the Right bought control of all the companies that provide the software AND the machines that count the votes.

Unless a miracle happens its a done deal. Presently the Right has set up polling circuits to tell the people the races are close. So that a win by their candidates will seem plausible.

		<description><![CDATA[BEIRUT — Eyewitness accounts from the Syrian massacre emerged Tuesday, describing shadowy gunmen slaughtering whole families in their homes and targeting the most vulnerable in poor farming villages. Western nations expelled 

Syrian diplomats in a coordinated move against President Bashar Assad&#039;s regime over the killing of more than 100 people.

U.N. special envoy Kofi Annan met with Assad in Damascus to try to salvage what was left of a peace plan, which since being brokered six weeks ago has failed to stop any of the violence on the ground.
===================
If peace efforts break down, and the opposing factions defeat Assad, then there will be chaos in Syria. al-Qaeda, and other terrorist groups will most certainly attempt to storm Syria&#039;s unprotected military weapons arsenal. 

President Obama may have to step in and send troops to Syria to prevent the thousands of chemical and pre nuclear weapons in Syria&#039;s military cache from being taken. That will require boots on the ground.  

 Syria has plenty of nuclear fuel capable of enriching a weapons grade nuclear dirty bomb. Their store of chemical weapons include Sarin, Tabun, VX, and mustard gas types of chemical weapons.They have thousands of Scud missiles and the next generation of Scud sophisticates. 

If any of these weapons get into the hands of terrorists, it could mean millions of deaths in Israel, Europe, the US and the Middle East.  

If the UN doesn&#039;t send troops into Syria if its central government is over thrown, the US will have to in its own self interest and the worlds.

		<description><![CDATA[The New Drugstore Sperm Test

Hey, men—how would you like to buy a cheap kit at your drugstore that quickly tells you whether your sperm are up to snuff?

The kit is supposed to help couples figure out whether the man is the reason that they are having trouble getting the woman pregnant.

Up until now, the only way to have your sperm checked was through a doctor—you’d have to make an appointment to discuss your fertility concerns, the doctor would order a lab test, 

you’d provide a semen sample, and then about one week later you’d get the results of a thorough examination of your sperm’s quantity and quality. 

The test would cost anywhere from about $40 to $200 and would sometimes (but not always) be paid for by health insurance.

The new drugstore sperm test, however, costs about $40 and gives you results in about half an hour.

But can a simple home test really measure up to the kind of thorough screening that a doctor can provide? 

Some physicians are voicing concerns about this new product, so I called an expert in the field to get his take on the controversial new test.

COUNTING SPERM
The new over-the-counter test is called SpermCheck Fertility (SCF). 

Starting this past April, it’s been available online at sites such as CVS.com and at drugstores such as Walgreen’s. 

To use the kit, a man ejaculates into a container, waits 20 minutes and then (using a tool) adds a sample of his ejaculate to a chemical mixture and lets that stand for another two minutes. 

Then he places drops of the mixture on a test strip, waits another seven minutes and reads the strip. 

If the strip produces a red line, the test suggests that his total sperm count is likely in a “normal” range. If the strip stays bare, the test suggests that his total sperm count is likely in an “abnormal” range and may be contributing to the couple’s fertility problems.

To get an expert’s opinion on the test, I called male reproduction specialist Natan Bar-Chama, MD, director of male reproductive medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City.

 “I am pleased that it helps couples focus on the potential for a male contribution to infertility, which is the case in one out of three infertile couples” Dr. Bar-Chama said. But then he pointed out the test’s major flaws.

THE PROBLEMS WITH THE KIT
Dr. Bar-Chama said that assessing only how much sperm per milliliter is in a small sample of the semen, which is what SCF does, does not accurately determine a man’s total sperm count (the entire amount that is in his full ejaculate—not just a sample). 

The semen volume must also be measured, said Dr. Bar-Chama, because semen volume can vary from man to man.

For example, one man might regularly ejaculate just 1 ml of total semen, while another man might regularly ejaculate as much as 5 ml of total semen, said Dr. Bar-Chama. 

A sperm count of over 40 million total sperm is considered “normal.” 

So if both men provide a sperm sample that contains 10 million sperm per ml, then the person with only 1 ml in volume would have a low and “abnormal” total sperm count of 10 million, while the man with a volume of 5 ml would have a total sperm count of 50 million, which is high and “normal.”

When a man sees a doctor for a full semen analysis, semen volume is measured. 

But SCF doesn’t measure semen volume—it estimates that a man’s semen volume is at least 2 ml, so if the test shows that a man’s reading is under 20 million sperm per ml (and therefore, under a total, normal sperm count of 40 million), then the test considers that result “abnormal.” 

Dr. Bar-Chama’s concern is that men might get “abnormal” results from this test when they’re actually fertile and vice versa.

MEASURING FERTILITY IN MULTIPLE WAYS
So not measuring semen volume is one reason why SCF fails in Dr. Bar-Chama’s eyes. 

But that’s only the tip of the iceberg. There are two other major factors that a doctor measures but SCF doesn’t…

Motility: 
What proportion of sperm are active and swim fast and straight? 

Slow-swimming or nonmoving sperm are unable to travel through the female reproductive tract and fertilize an egg.

Morphology: 
What proportion of sperm are shaped normally? If sperm are shaped oddly, they are hampered in their ability to fertilize the egg properly.

So instead of using this over-the-counter test, Dr. Bar-Chama advises all couples who are infertile (haven’t achieved a pregnancy after one year of trying) to go to a fertility specialist so both the man and the woman can get complete evaluations.
