Squeegees return as New York City is awash in windshield swipers in sign of (desperate) times
Squeegees return as New York City is awash in windshield swipers in sign of (desperate) times: "Squeegee men, the aggressive panhandlers who wash your car windows whether you want them to or not, are back.
Armed with buckets and $5 squeegees, a squad of men waded into stalled Times Square traffic Sunday to lather up windshields, swipe them clean and beckon for tips from drivers - some annoyed by the intrusion.
A rare sight when the country's unemployment rate was a mere 5.7%, the reappearance of the crews is an in-your-windshield reminder of 9%-plus unemployment and the highest rate of poverty in 27 years."

APA revises 'gay gene' theory (OneNewsNow.com)
APA revises 'gay gene' theory (OneNewsNow.com): "The attempt to prove that homosexuality is determined biologically has been dealt a knockout punch. An American Psychological Association publication includes an admission that there's no homosexual "gene" -- meaning it's not likely that homosexuals are born that way.
For decades, the APA has not considered homosexuality a psychological disorder, while other professionals in the field consider it to be a "gender-identity" problem. But the new statement, which appears in a brochure called "Answers to Your Questions for a Better Understanding of Sexual Orientation & Homosexuality," states the following:
"There is no consensus among scientists about the exact reasons that an individual develops a heterosexual, bisexual, gay or lesbian orientation. Although much research has examined the possible genetic, hormonal, developmental, social, and cultural influences on sexual orientation, no findings have emerged that permit scientists to conclude that sexual orientation is determined by any particular factor or factors.

BBC News - Burundi bar attack leaves many dead in Gatumba
BBC News - Burundi bar attack leaves many dead in Gatumba: "A local hospital is reportedly unable to cope with the wounded, while dead bodies have been left in a car park.
The attackers shouted: "Kill them all, Make sure there's no survivors," one witness said.
Burundi's last rebel group officially laid down its arms in 2009 but sporadic attacks have continued.
The BBC's Prime Ndikumagenge in Bujumbura says it is the most deadly attack since last year's disputed poll.
Former rebel leader Agathon Rwasa withdrew from the presidential election and fled the country after his National Liberation Forces (FNL) accused the governing party of fraud."
