      Lions-Saints 19.3 HH Rating Is Third-Best Wild Card Saturday Overnight In 12 Years - Ratings | TVbytheNumbers
        NBC DOMINATED PRIMETIME: During primetime (8-11 p.m.), NBC averaged a 19.2/33 dominating its competition, delivering more than five times the primetime average of the night's No. 2 broadcast network (ABC, 3.7/6), topping the combined averages of ABC (3.7/6), CBS (2.7/5) and Fox (1.6/3) by 140 percent.
      ABC shuffles execs at Stephanopoulos' This Week
        With George Stephanopoulos taking the reins back from Christiane Amanpour on "This Week," ABC News is staging another renovation of the Sunday morning show.
        Jon Banner, who oversaw the show from 2000 to 2003, will return, taking the place of Rick Kaplan. The new version of "This Week" debuts January 8.
        Banner, senior executive producer for "division wide initiatives," will continue to oversee big projects for the network.
        "Jon and George have a long history working together," ABC News President Ben Sherwood said in a note to ABC News staff. "They share an editorial vision for the broadcast and when they teamed up last they steadily expanded the program's audience. As partners again, I am confident they will produce excellent results."
        Banner ran the nightly newscast "World News" for almost a decade. He took on his current role in September.
        Kaplan, who has had multiple stops at ABC and CBS as well as stints at CNN and MSNBC, just left CBS to return to ABC News in May.
        He will remain with the network, overseeing ABC's debate in New Hampshire January 7. He will also "take on other big projects and continue to offer a critical voice in our news and election coverage," according to Sherwood's note.
        Banner takes over a show that has struggled from a ratings perspective, often performing worse than both CBS' "Face the Nation" and NBC's "Meet the Press" in recent months.
        Amanpour announced she was leaving the show earlier in December as she splits her time between ABC and CNN.
        Stephanopoulos will now pull double duty between "This Week" and his co-hosting position at "Good Morning America," which by contrast has had a strong year of ratings.
      Santorum Sandusky Connection
        Curry, I ran across a very interesting post on the topix.com site, under comments to a poll about Santorum. ÊI have not vetted the info, but it just sounds soOoo typical! ÊAnyway, here's a copy of the post...
        " Then Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum thought enough of Jerry Sandusky nine years ago to sponsor the former Penn State defense coordinator for a ÒCongressional Angels in AdoptionÓ award, citing his work with a non-profit group he founded to provide care for foster children.
        ÒIts philosophy is simple: it is easier to develop a child than to rehabilitate an adult,Ó read the citation in the awards dinner program from Sept. 24, 2002.
        Sandusky, of course, has been charged with sexual abuse of young boys and Penn State University is under fire for its handling of reports of the coachÕs suspicious behavior. The burgeoning scandal reportedly is about to force legendary head coach Joe Paterno to retire.
        Santorum, a 1980 PSU graduate, is one of the schoolÕs most distinguished alumni Ð a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination who represented Pennsylvania in the U.S. Senate from 1995 to 2007. A social conservative and champion of adoption, Santorum is staking his candidacy on an appeal to family values.
        Since the scandal broke into the news, Santorum has been circumspect in his comments about it. He has said he does not know Sandusky personally.
        And indeed, the guy has been a top philanthropist for a long time, routinely honored by political figures.
        On Tuesday, Santorum told ABC News that Paterno deserved the benefit of the doubt because he has Òserved in such distinction for all those years.Ó Santorum also said:ÒLook, I pray and hope that he (Paterno) didnÕt do anything he shouldnÕt have done, but it certainly looks horrible for the university, horrible for the football program and obviously people were fired, should be fired,Ó Santorum told ABC News.
        The Angels in Adoption awards program is sponsored annually by the non-profit Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute."

      Berlusconi sex scandal suicide bid
        A friend of Silvio Berlusconi on trial for allegedly recruiting prostitutes for the former Italian prime minister's ''bunga bunga'' sex parties has attempted suicide in prison.
        Dario ''Lele'' Mora, a celebrity talent scout who has been in a Milan prison since June on charges of fraudulent bankruptcy concerning his talent scout company LM Management, was thwarted by prison guards.
        He is on trial along with Nicole Minetti, an Anglo-Italian former showgirl who was propelled into politics under Mr Berlusconi's patronage, and Dario Fede, a television presenter on a channel belonging to the former prime minister.
      Navy SEAL schiet zichzelf per ongeluk in het hoofd - De Standaard
        De politie van San Diego kreeg donderdagochtend een melding binnen dat een man die met een pistool zat te spelen zichzelf per ongeluk had neergeschoten. Het bleek te gaan om een Navy SEAL.
        De man was zijn wapens aan het tonen aan een vrouw die hij eerder had ontmoet in een bar. Hij dacht dat een van de pistolen ongeladen was, zette het tegen zijn hoofd, en haalde de trekker over.
      Mysterious Murder Of Top Gun Pilots Blamed On Obama War Plot
        To the reason(s) someone would want to silence these two "Top Gun" pilots, this GRU report continues, was their association with Matthew Saturley who was regarded as one of Americas top predictive analysts and a seasoned MIT-trained financial leader who was finalizing his Master Thesis on the pricing of Middle Eastern oil related to US war moves.
        Not being told about Matthew Saturley by the propaganda US media, this GRU report continues, was that Saturley was a happily married man with a 7-year-old stepson and 5-year-old daughter who returned to the condo with "Top Gun" pilots Reeves and Reis with an as yet "unnamed" man believed by Russian intelligence analysts to have been Saturley's "witness" should anything have gone wrong at this clandestine meet.

      Who Is Behind "Americans Elect"? - Mark America
      ICG-AE Crossover Ackerman family
        What is curious about this group is the number of connections it has with another group. Just for the sake of curiosity, I compared the folks listed on the Who Are We page for Americans Elect to another group: The International Crisis Group. So who what do these two groups have in common? Well, Douglas Schoen and Carla Hills, but also an interesting tidbit: Joanne Leedom-Ackerman is part of this group. As we remember from above, thatÕs ElliotÕs mother. This is a happy coincidence, with father and son working in one group with Doug Schoen and Carla Hills, along with many other elites, and wife and mother working in another group with Doug Schoen and Carla Hills, along with many other global elites.
        Now while young Mr. Ackerman wouldnÕt tell us who is contributing to the Americans Elect group operations, it could be interesting, for comparison only, of course, to take a look at who is funding ICG. According to Wikipedia:

      Greece to 'sell bonds backed by state property' - FRANCE 24
        The process originally aimed to raise 5.5 billion euros by the end of the year, and 50 billion overall by 2015.
        But targets have been revised owing to procedural delays and fears that a hurried sale in the present economic downturn will only bring limited revenue.
        In December, Greece sold four disused Airbus A340 jets for 40.4 million dollars, a sum which aviation unionists dismissed as scrap value.
        The privatisation list includes ports, regional airports, utilities and motorways, a leading casino, public-owned defence, train and mining companies, and a key stake in Greece's monopoly gaming operator.
      Chinese investment in Portuguese power grid raises eyebrows | Business | Deutsche Welle | 07.01.2012
        Three Gorges beat one German and two Brazilian energy sector rivals to secure the Portuguese government's 21.35 percent stake in Energias de Portugal (EDP), one of the country's largest companies. The investment is Three Gorges' largest ever outside China - and the largest ever by any Chinese company in Portugal.
        -
        What tipped the scales for Three Gorges was that on top of 2.7 billion euros ($3.4 billion) they offered for the EDP shares, the Chinese giant pledged 2 billion euros in follow-on investment, and up to 2 billion euros more in financing for the deeply indebted Portuguese concern.
        -
        At a recent signing ceremony at the Portuguese Ministry of Finance, Three Gorges Chairman Cao Guanjing said it was just the start of a larger Sino-Portuguese partnership.
        -
        Cao was the man of the hour in Lisbon
        "This transaction will serve as a catalyst to encourage greater investment by more Chinese enterprises and banks into Portugal," he said. "This will drive closer cooperation in areas such as trade, finance, tourism and cultural exchange."
        -
        In a sign of the deal's importance to Portugal, the country's foreign minister and economy minister attended the ceremony. Finance Minister Vitor Gaspar was there as well. He noted China's growing economic clout but added some historical perspective.
      EUobserver.com / Economic Affairs / More power for EU commission in new draft of fiscal treaty
        EU member states are on Friday (6 January) to discuss the latest draft of a new pact on the financial crisis, focusing on how the European Commission can sanction debt-sinners and how to merge the new treaty with EU law despite a UK veto.
        According to the latest draft version of the new pact sent to national governments on Thursday, the commission "may, on behalf of contracting parties" bring a legal case before the European Court of Justice if the countries subscribing to the pact break the so-called golden rule of keeping balanced budgets which are to be enshrined in national constitutions.
      Euro sinks to 16-month low - Yahoo! News
        The euro fell below $1.28 for the first time in 16 months, as the eurozone debt crisis rolled on.
        The euro tumbled as low as $1.2698, a level last seen in early September 2010, extending losses after breaching $1.28 earlier this week as US economic data supported the dollar.
        By 1900 GMT the single currency had rebounded to $1.2792, near Thursday's level, but the malaise remained.
    Iran
      Thousands of US troops deploying to Israel | End the Lie - Independent News
        Without much media attention, thousands of American troops are being deployed to Israel, and Iranian officials believe that this is the latest and most blatant warning that the US will soon be attacking Tehran.
        Tensions between nations have been high in recent months and have only worsened in the weeks since early December when Iran hijacked and recovered an American drone aircraft. Many have speculated that a back-and-forth between the two countries will soon escalate Iran and the US into an all-out war, and that event might occur sooner than thought.
        Under the Austere Challenge 12 drill scheduled for an undisclosed time during the next few weeks, the Israeli military will together with America host the largest-ever joint missile drill by the two countries. Following the installation of American troops near Iran's neighboring Strait of Hormuz and the reinforcing of nearby nations with US weapons, Tehran authorities are considering this not a test but the start of something much bigger.
      Iran: UK threatens military action over Strait of Hormuz - Adnkronos Security
        London, 5 Jan. (AKI/Bloomberg) - The U.K. may take military action against Iran if it carries out its threat to block the Strait of Hormuz, Defense Secretary Philip Hammond will warn in a speech in Washington today.
        Any attempt by Iran to block the strategically important waterway in retaliation for sanctions against its oil exports would be "illegal and unsuccessful" and the Royal Navy will join any action to keep it open, Hammond will say, according to extracts of the address released by his office.
        "Our joint naval presence in the Arabian Gulf, something our regional partners appreciate, is key to keeping the Straits of Hormuz open for international trade," Hammond will say. "Disruption to the flow of oil through the Straits of Hormuz would threaten regional and global economic growth," he will say, arguing that "it is in all our interests that the arteries of global trade are kept free, open and running."

        A 2006 36-page document out of the "Burma Campaign UK" explicitly details the enormous amount of money and resources both the US government and its corporate-funded foundations have poured into Suu Kyi's image and her "movement." It also details the complicity of then Thai Prime Minster and verified Wall Street-stooge Thaksin Shinwatra's government in aiding the West in their Burmese agenda.
      CME faces regulatory probe on MF Global: sources | Reuters
        The futures regulator has been investigating whether the CME Group did enough to safeguard customer money before the collapse of MF Global last year, sources said on Friday.
        Sources familiar with the investigation into MF Global said the Commodity Futures Trading Commission is looking into the CME's supervision of customer money as a standard part of its review, which includes everyone involved from counterparties to affiliated creditors.
        One source said there have not been any recent developments regarding the CME and that the CFTC has not changed or shifted its focus to the exchange, which served as MF Global's primary regulator.
        "Investigators have never limited the scope of their inquiry to not include every entity or individual connected to the matter," said one source.
        The New York Times on Thursday reported the CFTC had widened its inquiry to include the CME.
        A spokeswoman for CME Group, the biggest operator of U.S. futures exchanges and MF Global's front-line regulator, said the company welcomed any probe.
        "We haven't been notified that they are investigating us, but we would expect and frankly welcome it -- it's part of their job that they are looking at the things we did," CME spokeswoman Anita Liskey said. "We are confident that they will agree that we did our job to the best of our abilities."
      Overheard on the Goldman Sachs Elevator
        An anonymous career banker inside Goldman Sachs opened a twitter account (@GSElevator) with the intention of revealing the hilarious banter that takes place in the privacy of the GS elevators. Since then, the account has evolved to include things overheard on trading floors, bullpens, lobbies and bars. Some of the conversations involve more than one person, and the participants are distinguishable by their number (#1, #2, #3). Here are some of my favorites from the past several months...
    Oil Cabal
      Nigeria: The Next Front for AFRICOM | End the Lie - Independent News
        On a recent trip to West Africa, the newly appointed managing director of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde ordered the governments of Nigeria, Guinea, Cameroon, Ghana and Chad to relinquish vital fuel subsidies. Much to the dismay of the population of these nations, the prices of fuel and transport have near tripled over night without notice, causing widespread violence on the streets of the Nigerian capital of Abuja and its economic center, Lagos. Much like the IMF induced riots in Indonesia during the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, public discontent in Nigeria is channelled towards an incompetent and self-serving domestic elite, compliant to the interests of fraudulent foreign institutions.
        Although Nigeria holds the most proven oil reserves in Africa behind Libya, it's people are now expected to pay a fee closer to what the average American pays for the cost of fuel, an exorbitant sum in contrast to its regional neighbours. Alternatively, other oil producing nations such as Venezuela, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia offer their populations fuel for as little as $0.12 USD per gallon. While Lagos has one of Africa's highest concentration of billionaires, the vast majority of the population struggle daily on less than $2.00 USD. Amid a staggering 47% youth unemployment rate and thousands of annual deaths related to preventable diseases, the IMF has pulled the rug out from under a nation where safe drinking water is a luxury to around 80% of it's populace.

      Homeland Security monitors journalists -- RT -- rt.com -- Readability
        US Dept. of Homeland Security.
        Freedom of speech might allow journalists to get away with a lot in America, but the Department of Homeland Security is on the ready to make sure that the government is keeping dibs on who is saying what.
        Under the National Operations Center (NOC)'s Media Monitoring Initiative that came out of DHS headquarters in November, Washington has the written permission to retain data on users of social media and online networking platforms.
        Specifically, the DHS announced the NCO and its Office of Operations Coordination and Planning (OPS) can collect personal information from news anchors, journalists, reporters or anyone who may use "traditional and/or social media in real time to keep their audience situationally aware and informed."
        According to the Department of Homeland Security's own definition of personal identifiable information, or PII, such data could consist of any intellect "that permits the identity of an individual to be directly or indirectly inferred, including any information which is linked or linkable to that individual." Previously established guidelines within the administration say that data could only be collected under authorization set forth by written code, but the new provisions in the NOC's write-up means that any reporter, whether someone along the lines of Walter Cronkite or a budding blogger, can be victimized by the agency.
        Also included in the roster of those subjected to the spying are government officials, domestic or not, who make public statements, private sector employees that do the same and "persons known to have been involved in major crimes of Homeland Security interest," which to itself opens up the possibilities even wider.
      DNA McSpray to foil thieves | thetelegraph.com.au
        If the SelectaDNA "forensic marking" spray proves successful in apprehending bandits, McDonald's will introduce the system across all its 780 Australian outlets.
        Developed in the United Kingdom by a police officer and a chemist, the spray has been used by McDonald's outlets in Britain and Europe.
        Each outlet keeps the details of its distribution a close secret, but one McDonald's restaurant in The Netherlands installed above the main door an orange device which was electronically linked to a panic alarm system. Staff could activate the device in an emergency.
        "Once there has been a security breach, the hi-tech spray unit will douse fleeing robbers with an invisible, synthetic DNA solution," McDonald's Australia's chief restaurant support officer, Jackie McArthur, said.

      Robert Gibbs | Valerie Jarrett | Michelle Obama | The Daily Caller
        Former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs tells the author of a new book on President Obama's family that he "stopped taking" presidential aide Valerie Jarrett "at all seriously as an adviser to the president" after she made up complaints from first lady Michelle Obama about his work.
        The bad blood between Gibbs, who left the White House last year, and Jarrett, a senior aide to Obama and a longtime friend of the first family, is detailed through a September 2010 episode when the two got in an argument over the first lady.
        Here's the scene from the "The Obamas," excerpts of which were published by the New York Times:
      E-voting machine freezes, misreads votes, U.S. agency says
        An electronic ballot scanning device slated for use in the upcoming presidential elections, misreads ballots, fails to log critical events and is prone to freezes and sudden lockups, the U.S. Elections Assistance Commission has found.
        The little noticed EAC report on the DS200 Precinct Count Optical Scanner in the Unity 3.2.0.0 voting system built by Election Systems & Software (ES&S) was released late last month.
        The 141-page Formal Investigative Report ( download pdf ) highlights multiple "substantial anomalies" in the DS200: intermittent screen freezes; system lockups and shutdowns; and failure to log all normal and abnormal system event.

      New Jamaican PM vows to drop Queen as head of state - Americas - World - The Independent
        Jamaica's new Prime
        Minister has vowed to abandon the Queen as head of state weeks after it
        was announced Prince Harry will make a Diamond Jubilee visit to the
        country.
        Portia Simpson Miller's pledge came as she took the oath of office and she said her administration would adopt a republican form of government.
        Harry is due to visit the Caribbean country sometime this year to mark the monarch's 60-year reign - one of many foreign tours being made by the Royal Family to celebrate the milestone.
        It is not thought the proposed constitutional changes to Jamaica will disrupt the trip.

        So I am in pak for another week... In one of my other messages I indicated its been the safest here for a long time... I neglected to mention the current economic situation.Ê
        The PKR has dropped about a third in value since I was here 3 yrs ago. The price of daily rations, clothing, etc has increased dramatically - 4 to 5x. In many cases clothing and other items now cost the same as they are in Canada. My brother-in-law has been working at a bank for the past 5 yers and is the assistant operations manager at the branch... His salary is 15000 rupees/mo (about $165/mo USD).
        One of my cousins maintains a very high position in the NWFP provincial government, in the land titles and taxation area. He will be retiring jn a few years and has been thinking to enter the private sector as a consultant upon retiring, but he is saying that the private sector is not offering compensation which even comes close to governmental positions. If I wasn't on my iPhone I would go into more detail, but basically salaries and ... Other benefits in the public sector far exceed what the private sector is offering. Like in most places the middle class is shrinking - it was small to begin with and is now drying up altogether.Ê
        Today I am enroute to abbottabad to visit family from my mothers side. I am hoping to get some photos of the infamous mansion Osama was supposedly hiding out in, as well as hear the locals account of those nights, and the aftermath since then. One of my cousins was stationed in abbottabad as a trainer/officer for a long time, and it's strange such a sensitive location would have housed Osama without really any luxuries without many other agencies in the area knowing about it.Ê
        Another cousin from Peshawar was the director general for the primary hospital in abbottabad for some time as well. I'll have to confirm the timelines and if the doctor that cared for Osama worked in that hospital.Ê
        I have been pretty starved for no agenda since I left Canada and am looking forward to catching up soon

      State Department Elevates Office of Counterterrorism to Full Bureau | Global Security Newswire | NTI
        The U.S. State Department on Wednesday announced the elevation of its counterterrorism office to a full-scale bureau in accordance with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's call last year for a global effort "that is as nimble and adaptive" as the violent extremists it seeks to defeat (see GSN, Jan. 9, 2009).
        Establishing the Counterterrorism Bureau was one of the central suggestions in the department's December 2010 Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review. The new bureau will take over all of the duties of the present Counterterrorism Coordinator's Office, according to a press release.
        The new bureau will be responsible for devising and putting in place antiterrorism postures, plans and programs, among several duties. It will also represent the State Department in intragovernment dealings with the Homeland Security Department on counterterrorism initiatives and postures (U.S. State Department release I, Jan. 4).
      With Congress on break, SOPA fight continues - CNN.com
        Far from fading from memory, the Stop Online Piracy Act (along with a related Senate bill) has become a rallying point for Web freedom advocates in a debate that has pitted Hollywood and other business interests against some of the biggest titans of the technology world.
        Interest in the debate spiked again this week when one of the bill's opponents suggested that online heavyweights such as Google, Facebook, Amazon and Twitter had considered a "nuclear option" -- temporarily shutting down their sites in protest -- to raise awareness about the bills, which await lawmakers when they return this month.

At the height of the crisis it was estimated that 12,000 aid organisations were working in the country. This figure has made it even harder for observers to comprehend how around 520,000 Haitians could still be subsisting under tarpaulin.
      Haiti cholera death toll nears 7,000: expert - FRANCE 24
        Jon Kim Andrus, deputy director of the Pan American Health Organization, said that as of December, on top of the deaths, the Haitian government had reported more than 520,000 cholera cases with 200 new sufferers appearing each day.
        Andrus said it was "one of the largest cholera outbreaks in modern history to affect a single country."
        There are also 21,000 cases in the neighboring Dominican Republic where there have been 363 deaths, Andrus said at a briefing for the second anniversary of the January 12, 2010 earthquake which killed more than 225,000 people.

      Not clear if Chelsea Clinton will sign again with NBC once her 90 day deal expires - NYPOST.com
        Chelsea Clinton's much-trumpeted deal with NBC seems to be nearly done. Her contract is for only 90 days, and while she'll provide the network with two more stories, sources say it is not certain she'll immediately sign again.
        Some sources believe Chelsea was "set up for a fall" after NBC trumpeted her deal to become a full-time special correspondent for the network in the New York Times in November.

      'No evidence' of mass killings in South Sudan: UN - FRANCE 24
        The UN's top official in South Sudan on Saturday said "no evidence" had been found of reported mass killings, but warned that 60,000 people were in urgent need of aid.
        Hilde Johnson, UN Special Representative for South Sudan, said reports that over 3,000 people were killed last week when thousands of armed youths attacked the Pibor region of Jonglei state appeared to be a false alarm.

        When Mitt Romney won Iowa by eight votes and I've got a 20-vote discrepancy here, that right there says Rick Santorum won Iowa," True said. "Not Mitt Romney."
        True said at his 53-person caucus at the Garrett Memorial Library, Romney received two votes. According to the Iowa Republican Party's website, True's precinct cast 22 votes for Romney.
        "This is huge," True said. "It essentially changes who won."
        A spokeswoman with the Iowa Republican Party said True is not a precinct captain and he's not a county chairperson so he has no business talking about election results. She also said the party would not be giving interviews about possible discrepancies until the caucus vote is certified.
