Pirate Party Strikes Hosting Deal With Wikileaks
After releasing more than 90,000 government documents last month related to the war in Afghanistan, Wikileaks was labeled a serious threat by the U.S. Government. With more leaks coming up, Wikileaks can use all the support it can get, especially from political movements around the globe.
One of the political parties that has shown interest in helping Wikileaks is the Swedish Pirate Party. Two weeks ago they offered to host the whistleblower site, and during a visit to Sweden Wikileaks’ Julian Assange accepted this offer and signed a deal.

Zapping spuds with ultrasound or electricity can make them healthier, research has shown. Skip related content
The stress of being sonically blasted or shocked causes them to generate more antioxidants, which have been shown to combat heart disease and cancer.
Researchers believe the techniques could be used to turn the humble spud into one of nature's "superfoods".
Potatoes, the world's fifth most widely consumed plant food, are already a good source of antioxidants, including vitamin C and compounds called polyphenols.
Scientists built a laboratory "torture chamber" where they could subject spuds to high frequency ultrasonic sound waves or mild electric shocks.
The treatment almost doubled the levels of some antioxidants in the potatoes.
Plants create antioxidants to help them survive stressful events such as drought, and attacks by pests and infections.
The chemicals mop up destructive molecules and also influence growth and cell death.
When consumed in plant foods, they are believed to protect arteries, reduce the risk of diabetes and help prevent the DNA damage that leads to cancer.
The findings were presented at the 240th national meeting of the American Chemical Society in Boston, Massachusetts, US.
A 100km long traffic jam in China has entered its ninth day and drivers are being warned the bottleneck could continue for a month. Skip related content
Hundreds of trucks heading for Beijing on the Beijing-Tibet Expressway have been at a standstill because of roadworks in the capital.
Small traffic accidents or broken-down cars are aggravating the congestion which started on August 14.
But those affected have been taking the disruption in their stride.
Drivers have been playing chess or cards, with some joking "concerts should be held at each congested area every weekend, to alleviate drivers' homesickness".
And local residents have been benefiting from the queue too by setting up temporary stalls selling food and drink to the car owners.
There has been anger that some vendors have been making a small fortune by overcharging drivers for items including noodles and hot water.
Around 400 police officers are at the scene 24 hours a day to make sure the situation stays calm.
It is hoped the roadworks will be completed by the end of September but congestion and road safety are a huge concern for Chinese motorists.
Traffic jams have been frequent since May due to the rapid increase of trucks to a daily peak of about 17,000.
Niu Fengrui, director of the Institute for Urban and Environmental Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences told the Global Times poor road planning was part of the problem: "If there's no traffic jam in the city, that would be news.
"Our government should pick up the pace of urban infrastructure construction and spend some of its budget."
Oh wow, just when you thought things could not get worse in Mexico
11-year-old gives birth in southern Mexico after being denied abortion despite rape
By Monica Lawrence
CHETUMAL, QUINTANA ROO (BNO NEWS) – An eleven-year old Mayan girl gave birth in southern Mexico on Thursday, two weeks earlier than expected. The girl was denied an abortion despite that she was raped by her stepfather when she was 10 years old, the Diario Yucatan newspaper reported.
The young mother, Amalia, was in the spotlight after police officers arrested Isaac Santiago Martínez for allegedly raping her in the indigenous village of La Rovirosa in Quintana Roo, southern Mexico.
Last April, the local Justice Department denied an abortion to the girl due to the fact that the girl was already in the fourth month of pregnancy and local laws do not allow abortions after the third month. The case was showcased by national media and generated controversy.
Martinez, also known as "El Brujo," was arrested on March 27. He has been in prison since March 30 on charges of resisting arrest, attempt to escape custody and rape.
Initially, Amalia said a fellow schoolmate abused her but after further questioning she admitted that her stepfather raped her.
The case is reminiscent of young Paulina Ramírez Jacinto, who in 1999 was raped by a drug addict that broke into her house while she was sleeping. At the moment of the offense she was only 13 years old.
After knowing she was pregnant, Paulina and relatives began legal procedures to have an abortion. The state of Baja California accepted the request but the hospital denied performing the medical procedure.
Instead, the girl was sent to religious and anti-abortion groups. The activists eventually convinced Paulina and she agreed to give birth. In 2005, the Interamerican Human Rights Commission (CIDH) ordered the state to pay compensation to Paulina and to pay alimony to her son until he reaches legal age.
So far, the youngest confirmed mother gave birth in 1939 in Peru. A local girl, Lina Medina, gave birth to a boy at the tender age of just five. Despite investigations, it was not possible to determine who the father was and how the boy was conceived.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), similar to the US' FCC, ruled that ISPs are no longer permitted to restrict speeds available to resellers.

Kevin Rose was on TWIT on Sunday. He sounded tired. Apparetnly it was not just front end changes but changes to the back-end as well (no longer using mySQL.
(I am now having that thing Vader described where there is a gray filter on the screen). I clicked to load this page then changed tabs, then came back, maybe that is why.

Also, in the picture for the article itself there's something funny about it, and I'm not talking about the tall girl. 
aspro said:Digg is falling apart -- and Reddit is the beneficiary. They still have not fixed most of the problems with the site -- it's like watching a large ship slowly submerge. I feel so bad for the coders.
I'm in that boat as well. I only visited Digg from the Top News RSS feed, which is now dead. The alternate feeds only go straight to the story page, and I spend much more time in the comments than in the story themselves, so that's pretty worthless. Consequently I've moved camp to Reddit, despite the awful interface.
