(Reuters) - Negotiations between the Chicago Teachers Union and the nation's third-largest school district were going down to the wire on Sunday, as teachers threaten to strike on Monday over Mayor Rahm Emanuel's demand for sweeping school reforms.
Birthmarks, be damned: the FBI has officially started rolling out a state-of-the-art face recognition project that will assist in their effort to accumulate and archive information about each and every American at a cost of a billion dollars.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has reached a milestone in the development of their Next Generation Identification (NGI) program and is now implementing the intelligence database in unidentified locales across the country, New Scientist reports in an article this week. The FBI first outlined the project back in 2005, explaining to the Justice Department in an August 2006 document (.pdf) that their new system will eventually serve as an upgrade to the current Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) that keeps track of citizens with criminal records across America .
The next time a tourist snaps a picture of the famous Hollywood sign, their photo won’t be the only item added to the annals. The LAPD considers photography a suspicious activity, and trying to take certain shots may add a page to your personal file.
A memo released last month by Police Chief Charlie Bucks re-categorizes certain behaviors — including photo shoots in public spots — to constitute suspicious activity, which is enough to have cops file a report, open an investigation and forward any further information about a suspect to the federal authorities — all over just an itchy shutter finger.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A former Navy SEAL's insider account of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden contains classified information, the Pentagon said Tuesday, and the admiral who heads the Naval Special Warfare Command said details in the book may provide enemies with dangerous insight into secretive U.S. operations.
Rear Adm. Sean Pybus told his force Tuesday that "hawking details about a mission" and selling other information about SEAL training and operations puts the force and their families at risk.

Todays missive will delve further into a topic that is on many people’s mind at the moment, namely the fact that time seems to be standing still in some aspects, while it seems to be speeding ahead on others. This is something we have delved into many times before, and aptly so, as this is mayhaps the most compelling sign that things are changing. And yes, it is important that you start to notice these irregularities if you will, as you all need to be more aware that things ARE in fact undergoing a massive change, even if it feels like the same old, same old in so many ways.
When you allow your intentions to overcome your resistances, that is, when you allow your desired state to be stronger than your state of resistance, that’s when you will see results and shifting in your field of direct experience. You are responsible for both of these states and you control the amount of energy that flows to each of them.
Your external states do not demand that you flow any energy to them at all, you see. You could just sit there and choose not to respond at all. Sometimes you do. It’s when you begin crafting your responses, rather than just having them reactively, that you get some control over what comes next.
Haven’t you discovered that when someone else jerks your chain that they have controlled you? They got you angry, or sad, or upset or disgusted…somehow eliciting from you thoughts that will not serve you well.
Here in the spiritual realms we continue to watch over you with loving gratitude as you focus determinedly on the task that you have so courageously undertaken, which is to assist humanity to awaken. Many of you are feeling weighed down with fatigue as the stress of your task bears heavily down upon you. We are constantly focusing our energy on you to help you to bring yours ever more closely into alignment with the divine Will. You are doing a sterling job, and our love surrounds you as you inspire so many of whom you are utterly unaware. The love that you express and demonstrate is far more effective than you can possibly imagine, so do not forget to honor and congratulate yourselves on the potency of your endeavors, as we are doing.

God said:
Holy are you. You do not think you are holy. You would dispute Me. You would say, “But, God…” You would say, “But, God…” again and again to hold onto an old photo of yourself. Is that not folly?
I am taking your picture right now. Look at what you look like through My camera and My eyes. Look! Are you not dazzled by the light you are? I wonder, do you prefer the old black and white photos when you could accept your belighted Self?
You may say you want Truth. I am telling you Truth, and you do not want to hear. Perhaps you want to hear the old sullied truths that are not Truth at all. Perhaps you want to go through an old photo album. In your old photo albums, you can see when you are young. You can see that kind of difference, and yet, I show you a true picture of Who you are in dazzling light, a dazzling flame of light, and you protest. You disbelieve. You think I am putting you on. You say you cannot be what I say you are.
