FP: Theft possible in mystery of Mint's missing gold
At the Royal Canadian Mint, the big question remains unanswered: What the heck happened to our gold? After a thorough independent investigation, it still has no concrete answers and says a theft is possible. For the past few months, the Mint has tried to get to the bottom of an unprecedented scandal in which some gold it was supposed to have in its inventory for the 2008 fiscal year has seemingly disappeared. Monday, it revealed that $15.3-million of precious metals is unaccounted for at its Ottawa facility. Christine Aquino, director of communications for the Mint, said it is looking into "all" possibilities at this time, including the chance that someone pulled off an Ocean's 11-esque heist from a facility that ranks as one of the most secure in the country. It has even asked the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to do its own investigation.

A patient who had been in direct contact with a person suffering from the new H1N1 influenza strain was given a dose of Tamiflu as a preventative measure. But she still contracted the virus after her body resisted the treatment leading doctors to give her another type of medication, Relenza, made by GlaxoSmithKline, the British pharmaceutical company. The Danish national is no longer suffering from the illness and is not displaying symptoms, the Danish Institute of Serology said in a statement. "It does not constitute a risk to public health and does...

Fox: Scientists Say Farmed Fish May Carry 'Mad Cow' Disease
Three U.S. scientists are concern about the potential of people contracting Creutzfeldt Jakob disease - the human form of "mad cow disease" - from eating farmed fish who are fed byproducts rendered from cows. Mad cow disease, also called bovine spongiform encephalopathy is a fatal brain disease in cattle, which scientists believe can cause Creutzfeldt Jakob disease in humans who eat infected cow parts. In the latest issue of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, Dr. Robert P. Friedland, a neurologist at University of Louisville in...

USNews: As White House Readies Abortion Plan, Packaging Emerges as Major Issue
As the White House readies its plan for finding "common ground" on reproductive health issues and reducing the need for abortion, a major debate has emerged over how to package the plan's two major components: preventing unwanted pregnancies and reducing the need for abortion. Many abortion rights advocates and some Democrats who want to dial down the culture wars want the White House to package the two parts of the plan together, as a single piece of legislation. The plan would seek to reduce unwanted pregnancies by funding...

Ever since former president George W.

That perception grew as prominent military leaders such as Lt. Gen. William Boykin described the wars in evangelical terms, casting the U.S. military as the "army of God." Although President Obama addressed the Muslim world this month in an attempt to undo the Bush administration's...

MiamiHerald: Cuba's spy program deeply rooted in U.S.
Chris Simmons, a former lieutenant colonel in U.S. counterintelligence, insists that there are dozens of spies in the service of Cuba within the government of the United States and in the nation's universities.

Myers spied for Cuba for three decades, and his motivation (like his wife's) was of an ideological nature. He sympathized with the Cuban dictatorship and felt an enormous contempt for...
