Taliban In Drag

Taliban In Drag, U.S. military commanders in Afghanistan have assigned 'guardian angels' - troops who watch over their comrades even as they sleep - as part of a series of increased security measures to protect troops against possible rogue attacks.

And they come in the wake of a spike in attacks on U.S. and coalition forces by Afghans, including the point-blank shooting deaths of two U.S. advisers in Afghanistan's Ministry of Interior.

Canada's Most Dangerous City, Gang wars, drug abuse and a serial killer guaranteed Prince George, B.C., the top spot.

It’s a catch-up on the day, and maybe a bleat about those times he pulls the night shift, or about the cold of a northern B.C. winter, or about how quickly days ﬂy by now that he shoulders the destiny Loren has inspired. “Loren, can you do anything about this weather?” he asked her recently. “It’s snowing and I hate winter, it’s cold and damp, and you are not here to warm up the room.” Invariably, he tells Loren how much he misses her, before signing off, “Love Dad.”

Crime rates in Canada

Crime rates in Canada, Crime rate continues to drop across Canada. There were fewer homicides, attempted murders, serious assaults and robberies across Canada in 2010, according to a Statistics Canada report released Thursday.

Despite the numbers, which showed a consistent four-year downward trend in violent crime, the office of Justice Minister Rob Nicholson downplayed the figures.

“We don’t use these statistics as an excuse not to get tough on criminals,” said spokeswoman Pamela Stephens.

But Liberal MP Carolyn Bennett said the government’s tough-on-crime agenda is divorced from the reality of crime in Canada.

“The Harper government’s ideologically driven crime agenda is outrageously costly and completely out of line with crime in Canada,” she said. “The crime rate is constantly going down, but the expenditures from prisons are going through the roof.”

Crimes committed in Canada were down five per cent in 2010, according to Statistics Canada. The most serious crimes are also down six per cent.

However, sexual assaults, use of a firearm, criminal harassment, child pornography and drug offences have increased slightly.

“From the government’s perspective, crime going down is probably an embarrassment,” said Anthony Doob, a criminologist at the University of Toronto. “For the rest of us, it’s probably a nice thing to have less crime in our community.”

Doob said crime rates and punishment policy are not linked.

“The one thing we know with any kind of certainty is that [a falling crime rate[ doesn’t have much to do with policies related to punishment,” said Doob. “Sending more people to prison may reduce the likelihood that they’re committing offences while they’re in prison but, if anything, it increases the likelihood that they’ll commit offences after they’ve been released.”

According to Statistics Canada, every province reported a decrease in violent crime except Newfoundland and Labrador, where police reported a 13 per cent increase.

Anna Faris And Mean Tweets

Anna Faris, Will Ferrell and Kristen Bell read mean Tweets about themselves

To celebrate the six year anniversary of Twitter, Jimmy Kimmel had celebrities read aloud some of the Tweets they've received on the micro blogging site.

"One of the interesting things about Twitter is that it connects celebrities to their fans and vice-versa," Kimmel said on his show on March 21. "Many celebrities actually do the Tweeting themselves which means pretty much any time you like, you can send a message to them, and unless it's someone like Justin Bieber who has 18 million followers, they will probably read it. Your message goes directly into their computer or into their pocket which can be good and it can also be bad."

Invasive Species Canada

Invasive Species Canada, From parasites to crabs and living slime affectionately dubbed "rock snot," invasive species can wreak havoc when introduced into a new habitat.

Possum Or Opossum, The most famous marsupial of the moment is Heidi, the goofy, cross-eyed opossum from Germany. Heidi has made headlines across the globe and apparently has over 111,000 fans on Facebook. Enough with the cuteness, and on to a great story of language: What is the difference between “possum” and “opossum?” Is one correct? The answer is more complex, and interesting than you might think.

The opossum received its name in the early 1600’s from Captain John Smith of the Jamestown colony in Virginia. The name is derived from aposoum, a Virginia Algonquian word meaning ‘white beast.’ The shortened version of this word soon became possum when in the late 1700’s Captain Cook’s botanist Sir Joseph Banks upon seeing an Australian common ringtail possum likened the furry creature to “an animal of the Opossum tribe.” The first recorded reference to the opossum in literature came in 1610 with the publication of A True Declaration of the Estate of the Colonie in Virginia that contains the passage, “There are… Apossouns, in shape like to pigges.” This truncation of the original term may explain why many people are surprised to learn that opossum and possum are in fact two very different marsupial species of the arboreal kind.
