INDIA TODAY - US dismisses claim of Osama's death within 90 seconds of raid : Americas News, Nov 07, 2011

"The US on Monday dismissed a claim by a former American elite commando that al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden was killed in the first 90 seconds of the covert May 2 operation in Pakistan.
"Those facts are incorrect," Pentagon spokesman George Little told reporters while responding to a question on the latest book by Chuck Pfarrer, a former Navy Seal turned novelist and screenwriter, claiming that bin Laden was killed by the US forces in the first 90 seconds of the operation.
"Neither (of the two helicopters) landed on the roof of the compound (in Abbottabad, as claimed by the Pfarrer.) As all know, one helicopter had a bad landing and the other ended outside the walls of the compound on the ground," he said during an off camera briefing here.
"It took more than 90 seconds to break through the walls of the compound and it took several minutes to find and kill bin Laden. It was not 90 seconds," said Little, who was the spokesperson of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) when the operation to kill the top terrorist took place."

THE DAILY MAIL - How two women's breasts were rebuilt following a mastectomy - using part of their thigh, Nov 07, 2011

"Whole again: Vikki bouck-Stamdem can't believe how natural her breasts look For Vikki Bouck-Standen, who was just 26 when she was given the devastating news that she had breast cancer, a double mastectomy was simply ‘a pragmatic decision’. The operation – complete removal of both breasts – is the most extreme option, but also the only way to ensure the cancer never returns. While lifesaving, it is an operation that many women fear will leave them ‘defeminised’. But having lost her father, Ian, to bone cancer six years before – when he was 52 – and her grandmother... more »"

WORLD News - Iran, U.S. and Ethical-Religious Reasoning, Nov 07, 2011

"Article by WN.com Correspondent Dallas Darling.
In his classic study "Suicide" (1897), French Sociologist Emile Durkheim coined the term anomie. Anomie derived from the Greek word "lawlessness" and according to Durkheim, it was "the lack of moral consensus and normative control in society, resulting from a breakdown of traditional authority." Since then, anomie has been used by Sociologists to describe the disintegration of social controls and ethics, specifically in modern industrialized societies undergoing major transitions. Sociologists observed individuals, including political leaders, who no longer felt accountable to each other nor constrained by traditional and moral constraints. They believed this kind of extreme narcissistic behavior and egotistical elitism led to the breakdown of social contracts and interpersonal relationships and bonds. Anomie also caused insecurity and alienation, even suicide."

NZ HERALD - US election: Cain's explosive new sex claim, Nov 07, 2011

"A woman says Republican presidential contender Herman Cain reached under her skirt for her genitals and pushed her head toward his crotch in July 1997.
Sharon Bialek has just told reporters in New York that she met with Cain to ask about getting her old job back at the National Restaurant Association when the incident happened in Washington.
At the time, Cain was chief of a restaurant trade group.
Bialek says that, when she asked Cain what he was doing, Cain said, "You want a job, right?''
Bialek appeared with her attorney, Gloria Allred, at a news conference in New York.
Cain, one of the Republican presidential front-runners, had downplayed previous allegations of sexual harassment as anonymous attacks.
He now has a woman who has come forward to directly accuse him of improper behavior.
The Cain campaign has issued a statement this morning saying all harassment allegations are 'completely false,' and he's 'never harassed anyone'."
