Flower
borders, bird baths and garden gnomes might be many a person’s yard
decoration of choice, but it’s certainly not how everyone would choose
to adorn the outside of their home. Larriatt
McHale and her boyfriend Brad Kennedy are self-professed Halloween
fans. They choose to decorate the yard outside of their South Carolina
home with
dolls. Dolls that are hung, stabbed, impaled and otherwise
abused. There’s even a fire pit full of dolls. Watch the local TV report
on this unusual display HERE.
The
digital currency Bitcoin, which began as an idea in 1998, but truly
took on a working form in 2009, has hit a major milestone. It reached
the $1 billion benchmark. The Atlantic Wire reported that the exchange rate for Bitcon on Thursday exceeded
$95 per Bitcoin – that’s a 152 percent increase for the month. Or, as
the Wire put it, if you purchased $500 worth of Bitcoins a year ago, the
currency would be worth close to $10,000 now. Get the rest of this
fascinating story HERE.
On
his Thursday evening broadcast, Glenn Beck looked at what might happen
to global alliances now that America, which was once the world’s
creditor, is now in massive debt. With
countries like Russia being controlled by Vladimir Putin and the rise
of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Middle East, the ideals of freedom,
according to Beck, are waning. So what’s to become of America following massive upheaval? Watch Beck’s dire predictions HERE.

US banks shaken by biggest fund withdrawals since 9/11
Joe Raedle / Getty Images / AFP
The first week of January 2013 has seen $114 billion withdrawn from 25 of the US’ biggest banks, pushing deposits down to $5.37 trillion, according to the US Fed. Financial analysts suggest it could be down to the Transaction Account Guarantee insurance program coming to an end on December 31 last year and clients moving their money that is no longer insured by the government.
The program was introduced in the wake of the 2008 crisis in order to support the banking system. It provided insurance for around $1.5 trillion in non-interest-bearing accounts with a limit of $250,000.
It was aimed at medium and small banks as the creators of the program believed bigger banks would cope with the crisis themselves.
So the current “fast pace” of withdrawal comes as a surprise to financial analysts because the deposits are slipping away from those banks which supposedly were safe. Experts expected savers in small and medium banks would turn to bigger players come December 31.
There are a number of reasons behind this unpredicted fund outflow. Some experts believe it has to do with the beginning of the year when the money is randomly needed here and there. Others have concluded the funds are getting down to business and being invested.
Another set of data from the US Federal Reserve shows some deposits may have moved within the banking system from one type of account to another.

HUMAN Tissue Found in Meats!
The horse meat fiasco in Europe has prodded scientists to look a bit
deeper into what else we might be consuming. A team of South African
scientists have just found traces of human tissue in meat meant for
public consumption from 9 provinces. ~ Amanda Warren
The issue was revealed to parliament, almost as a side note, during meat inspection briefings on Tuesday.A University of Stellenbosch scientist and his team conducted a microbial analysis that revealed traces of human elements, but said that slaughterhouse workers sometimes cut themselves... or other things... which could lead to the findings.
If I walked into a factory and the sample I randomly selected to test was a meat sample of which the person de-boning the meat had just picked his nose and then touched the meat, I would get a totally different microbial reading," he said.Delicious. Beyond the findings themselves, it brings up the global hot-button topic of the moment: food labeling. How much should we know about what we are consuming?
In addition to the troubling statements above, scientist Louw Hoffman noted that only 15% of the meat being sold in South Africa is correctly labeled, revealing other potentially harmful attributes of which consumers are currently unaware:
"In the labelling regulations it clearly states that allergens have to be mentioned and noted," said Hoffman.Allergens like... other people's genetic signature?
Yet, Hoffman and his team of scientists concluded that the incorrect labeling poses "no threat" to the consumers who eat it, despite some more gems uncovered:
Briefing parliament's portfolio committee on agriculture, forestry and fisheries, University of Western Cape forensic scientist Dr Eugenia D'Amato said nearly 43% of samples she had tested which were labelled as game, were, in fact, beef.
D'Amato said horse meat had also been used as a substitute for springbok in biltong, and pork was found in ostrich sausages.
There was also a smaller proportion of kangaroo in samples.Despite the overall findings that consumers have absolutely no idea what they are eating - including human remnants - in 85% of the products, SA's Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries deputy director-general downplayed it by asserting that we are not becoming unwitting cannibals:
It is possible that (if tested) we could find traces of human DNA in meat. However, even if we do find human DNA, it does not mean we are eating human flesh.Great. Unfortunately, we are evidently eliminating healthy microorganisms in the processing of foods, but since there is an acceptable standard of nasty foreign entities, thanks to our regulatory agencies - we have introduced a variety of contaminants into now weakened guts and immune systems.
We'd like to think that these food scandals are safe from us - overseas, it's their problem. But, big problems are usually systemic and many of the developed nations are on the same platform. As with most food scandals, they go on for years unnoticed before the beans are spilled.
It doesn't sound like anyone's literally being run through the meat grinder just yet, but it's a startling fact that we don't know much about what our food comes into contact with. And we have scientists and regulatory agencies continually asserting how safe our food supply is.
Are you unsettled at the prospect of ingesting someone else's particles and blood? Do you wonder what else will be found when the next scientific investigation is conducted in your country?
Perhaps we should be asking ourselves before each meal, "Hey, who's in there? How'd they get in there? Anyone missing?"
