News below the fold

Don't bother to read the news...it's all trivia and political stuff.

And the real news is bad: From the BBC:

US taxpayers are unlikely to get all their money back from a $700bn (£432bn) bailout of the country's stricken banking and automotive sectors, according to a report....The report said it was a "misconception that Tarp will make a profit"....The most recent cost estimate for Tarp is a loss of $60bn. Taxpayers are still owed $118.5bn."

and then there is this, also from the BBC:

The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (Cispa), would allow the government to access web users' private data on suspicion of a cyber threat.
It would also allow easier information-sharing between security agencies and private web firms.
Advocacy groups claim that it is aimed at file-sharers rather than hackers.
