"The Obama Administration's hostility to oil and gas exploration is well known, but last week it took an especially fowl turn."

"The U.S. Attorney for North Dakota hauled seven oil and natural gas companies into federal court for killing 28 migratory birds that were found dead near oil waste lagoons. You may not be surprised to learn that the Administration isn't prosecuting wind companies for similar offenses."

But please take into account that they wind companies aren't killing the same number of birds. They're killing about 440,000 birds (a year). Only 15,714 times as many. What's the big deal? Have you no sense of proportion?

Isn't there some proposition — kind of like the "big lie" — that if you want to get away with something, doing it on a vast scale is a good strategy? There's some aphorism or famous quote that's just beyond my grasp, even using Google.

Schalke defender Christian Fuchs scored a goal in each half to help condemn Maccabi Haifa to their fifth straight defeat against German opposition in Europe.

Fuchs opened the scoring for the home side in the seventh minute when he drilled the ball into the bottom right hand corner.

Idan Vered equalised for Maccabi 10 minutes before the break with a shot from close range before Fuchs put Schalke back in control in the 65th minute from a well taken free-kick.

Jose Jurado added a third for Schalke with 10 minutes left to put the game out of reach.

Schalke's only previous experience of Israeli opposition was against Hapoel Tel-Aviv in last season's UEFA Champio [...]

Athletic Bilbao continued to enjoy life away from La Liga as they downed big-spending PSG on Thursday to move three points clear at the top of Europa League Group F.

Athletic have picked up just two points from their opening five league games under new coach Marcelo Bielsa but they defeated Slovan Bratislava in their Europa League group opener and on Thursday night claimed the prized scalp of in-form PSG.

Igor Gabilondo's brilliant finish put Athletic ahead in the 20th minute and Markel Susaeta slotted home a similar goal on the stroke of half-time to complete the scoring, with PSG's challenge all but ending with the 53rd-minute dismissal of Mohamed Sissoko.

The victory leaves Athletic on six points in Group F, with PSG level on three points with Salzbu [...]

Relations Between The US And Pakistan Have Reached A Breaking Point

Pakistan Rebuffs US Demands To Increase Cooperation In War On Terror -- The Telegraph

Pakistan's political and military leadership closed ranks yesterday, shrugging off intense American pressure to do more to combat militant groups and accusing the United States of using the country as a scapegoat for Nato failures in Afghanistan.

The prime minister, Yousuf Raza Gilani, held crisis talks with opposition leaders and military officers to formulate a response to American accusations that its security services were working hand in hand with the deadly Haqqani network.

Hours earlier, Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State, had ramped up the pressure by repeating her threat to declare the Haqqani network a terrorist organisation, a move that would almost certainly see economic sanctions imposed on Islamabad.

Yesterday Mr Gilani said he would not give in to threats and called for an end to the "blame [...]

Chargesheet Review, Chargesheet Movie Review, Chargesheet Hindi Movie Review and Rating, Chargesheet Movie Hit or Flop

Chargesheet Hindi Movie Review and Rating:

As a moviegoer, I have grown up on Navketan movies. But, over the years, the man behind this production outfit -- the charismatic Dev Anand -- has not been able to churn out any memorable film that has recall value. CHARGESHEET, Dev sahab's new endeavor, is no different. It is yet another forgettable experience from the veteran, who once regaled us with great entertainers.

CHARGESHEET has an apology of a script. It has skimpily dressed women dancing on forgettable tunes. The music, once the hallmark of Navketan movies, is of fast-forward variety this time. That's not all! Known for discovering some of the finest talent over the years, the veteran's new discoveries in CHARGESHEET are all duds. No looks, no talent! As for names such as Naseeruddin Shah, Jackie Shroff and Divya Dutta, one is well aware why they agreed to be an integral part of this film [tremendous respect for the veteran], but what I fail to fathom is, what was the motive behind casting them when they have nothing worthwhile to do?

The only thing I took back home was the indomitable spirit of Dev Anand. How many people live their dreams at 88? Here's an actor/film-maker committed to making movies on his terms. Irrespective of how CHARGESHEET fares or received by the movie-going audience, I am sure Dev sahab would've already cracked the idea of his next film. I salute that!
