- SFGate.com: THE ZERO FILES: Shadowy realms of mind control and paranoia, all in the hands of the FBI "They are, in a way, the real-world equivalent of television's "X-Files," the fictional secret collection of FBI cases involving alien abductions and grand conspiracies that kept legions of fans entertained for nearly a decade. But while Fox Mulder and Dana Scully have long since retired to the compost bin of syndication, the FBI's Zero Files thrive in obscurity -- remaining, in their own way, very real. |

- AP A BULLET fired in the air during a Ku Klux Klan initiation ceremony came down and struck a participant in the head, critically injuring him. Gregory Allen Freeman, 45, has now been charged with aggravated assault and reckless endangerment for the wounding of Jeffery Murr, 24, who had been attending the ceremony in Johnson City, Tennessee. About ten people, including two children, had gathered to witness the white supremacist group’s gathering. The man who was being initiated was blindfolded, tied with a noose to a tree, and was then shot repeatedly with paintball guns. Freeman was firing a pistol in the air to provide the sound of real gunfire to make the proceedings more exciting, local Sheriff Fred Phillips said. |

- register So you catch a man driving with his pants around his ankles who's paying more attention to the child porn video running on his laptop than the road ahead. What do you charge him with? That's the dilemma Toronto traffic police found themselves in when they arrested a man driving the wrong way down a residential one-way street. Walter Nowakowski, 33, of Delhi near Toronto, Canada, was watching child porn images downloaded using a hijacked wireless Internet connection when he was pulled over by the police in the early hours of Wednesday morning. |

- nro So that's it then. Despite all the protests, the Pulitzer Prize board has decided that it will not revoke the award won by Walter Duranty of the New York Times for his reporting in Stalin's Soviet Union. This was not a decision that it took lightly, mind you. The board's members want everyone to understand that they only took their decision after "more than six months of study and deliberation." Six months — that's around one month, perhaps less, for each million who died in the holodomor, the man-made famine that Duranty tried so hard to deny. |

- CNN Authorities said Saturday an opposition petition drive for a recall referendum on President Hugo Chavez's rule was going smoothly despite isolated acts of violence. "The day has been calm. There have been some incidents in the streets but it's not worth paying much attention to them," said Cesar Gaviria, secretary general of the Organization of American States. National Guard soldiers fired tear gas outside the headquarters of the National Electoral Council after some people threw fireworks at the building while Gaviria was inside. In the western state of Falcon, two grenades exploded at the headquarters of an opposition political party and the house of an opposition politician, without injuring anyone. |

- You really can't make this stuff up. Apparently, an employee at the University of Virginia said the following during a staff meeting: I can't believe in this day and age that there's a sports team in our nation's capital named the Redskins. That is as derogatory to Indians as having a team called Niggers would be to blacks. Problem is, in the midst of denouncing racism, the staffer mentioned the dreaded N-word, provoking offense and criticism. |

- Following a protracted and painful period of severe political mismanagement within the United States of America, Her Majesty's Government has finally been compelled to act, for the protection of the American people. Building upon the existing "special relationship" between Britain and the US, a group of top Whitehall and White House officials have been working tirelessly for the last few weeks to forge a new initiative between our two nations, which will soon give birth to a new era in anglo-american relations. It has long been suggested that the UK and US should form stronger ties, but few can have imagined anything like this. Ever since George Jn. came to power just under 3 years ago, the United States has been in a political nose-dive. |

- Every time the filters get better, spammers try to figure out a way around them. You might think that a spammer would realize if people are going through so much trouble to block them, that they're less likely to be happy to receive the spam, but apparently that's not the case. Instead of focusing in on the small group of people who actually are interested in spam, they're wasting their time trying to get messages to those people who will never respond to the stuff. Anyway, according to this article, now that spammers know that some filters look for certain keywords and determine how much of the email message is likely to be spam, they're apparently cutting and pasting the text from various classic pieces of literature right into the spam. This way, they're figuring that since so much of the spam isn't "spammy" the filters won't catch it. |
