WAFB: Work halted at sinkhole — “Stoppage caused by tremors in area” — “Not good news for residents” — Emergency meeting Thursday: "The mini earthquakes that came ahead of the sink hole in Assumption Parish are back [See also: Expert: "Sharp" shaking rattles sinkhole area after weeks of 4-minute tremors -- I've never seen this before -- Had stopped just before giant hole appeared last month].
[...]
Meanwhile, back at the sinkhole site, scientists have made another discovery that could keep residents out of their homes for an undetermined amount of time [See also: Sinkhole: Gas could not be controlled from well, mud and water pushed to surface -- Workers plug with cement, dismantle drilling rig].
“They got down to 90 feet and experienced gas in the water aquifer and were unable to set water well due to the pressure. We put cement, plug, and got off the site and regrouped to come up with another strategy to set a vent well,” John Boudreaux [director for the Assumption Parish Office of Emergency Preparedness] explained."

Activist Post: Artificial Sweeteners Found More Weight-Promoting Than Sugar
Activist Post: Artificial Sweeteners Found More Weight-Promoting Than Sugar: "A new study published this month in the journal Appetite revealed that when rats* were given the synthetic sweeteners saccharin and aspartame, compared to sucrose (table sugar), they gained more weight even at similar total caloric intake levels.[i]
The researchers set out to experimentally confirm the suggestion that the use of nonnutritive sweeteners can lead to weight gain, noting that "evidence regarding their real effect on body weight and satiety is still inconclusive."

AFP: Maya demand an end to doomsday myth
AFP: Maya demand an end to doomsday myth: " Guatemala's Mayan people accused the government and tour groups on Wednesday of perpetuating the myth that their calendar foresees the imminent end of the world for monetary gain.
"We are speaking out against deceit, lies and twisting of the truth, and turning us into folklore-for-profit. They are not telling the truth about time cycles," charged Felipe Gomez, leader of the Maya alliance Oxlaljuj Ajpop.
Several films and documentaries have promoted the idea that the ancient Mayan calendar predicts that doomsday is less than two months away, on December 21, 2012.
The Culture Ministry is hosting a massive event in Guatemala City -- which as many as 90,000 people are expected to attend -- just in case the world actually does end, while tour groups are promoting doomsday-themed getaways.
Maya leader Gomez urged the Tourism Institute to rethink the doomsday celebration, which he criticized as a "show" that was disrespectful to Mayan culture."

Romney family buys voting machines through Bain Capital investment
Romney family buys voting machines through Bain Capital investment: "Tagg Romney, the son of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, has purchased electronic voting machines that will be used in the 2012 elections in Ohio, Texas, Oklahoma, Washington and Colorado.
"Late last month, Gerry Bello and Bob Fitrakis at FreePress.org broke the story of the Mitt Romney/Bain Capital investment team involved in H.I.G. Capital which, in July of 2011, completed a "strategic investment" to take over a fair share of the Austin-based e-voting machine company Hart Intercivic," according to independent journalist Brad Friedman.
But Friedman is not the only one to discover the connection between the Romney family, Bain Capital, and ownership of voting machines."
