Breaking News:

Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino today gave Occupy Boston protesters a midnight deadline to leave their Dewey Square encampment.

“If not, we’ll take further action,” he said.

Menino’s comments came after a Suffolk Superior Court judge on Wednesday declined to issue a preliminary injunction protecting the protesters from eviction.

The Occupy Boston encampment is part of a series of protests nationwide that have been credited with drawing attention to the issues of social and economic inequality. But similar encampments have been evicted in other major cities.

Cremated remains of hundreds of soldiers dumped into a landfill????!!?!?!?

They're partial remains, eg: an arm found on the battlefield that can't be identified as belonging to a specific soldier. Since they can't return the remains to next of kin, they're cremated.

Dumping the ashes in a landfill, though, is really a bad choice. They now cast them into the ocean, but the damage has already been done.

Lisa Kardell, a spokeswoman for Waste Management, which operates the King George landfill, said the firm has no record of a contract with MedTrace for the years 2003 through 2008.

She said that Air Force officials have not returned calls over the past two weeks from her company’s attorneys, asking which haulers would have been handling the Dover materials and the disposition of the ashes.

“Obviously, we would be opposed to taking cremated remains of our servicemen and servicewomen and putting them in our landfill,” Kardell said. “But it sounds like a lot of us were pulled in unknowingly to this unfortunate situation with the Air Force,” she added.

“It’s a moral thing,” said Jeff Jenkins, the manager of the King George landfill. “Someone killed overseas fighting for our country, I wouldn’t want them buried — any part of them — in the landfill.”

An additional group of 1,762 unidentified remains were collected from the battlefield and disposed of in the same manner, the Air Force said. Those fragments could not undergo DNA testing because they had been badly burned or damaged in explosions. The total number of incinerated fragments dumped in the landfill exceeded 2,700.

A separate federal investigation of the mortuary last month, prompted by whistleblower complaints, uncovered “gross mismanagement” and documented how body parts recovered from bomb blasts stacked up in the morgue’s coolers for months or years before they were identified and disposed of.

.... The problems also transpired at a time when the mortuary was shielded from public scrutiny. News coverage of the return of fallen troops to Dover was banned by President George H.W. Bush in 1991 before the first Persian Gulf War. The ban remained until April 2009, when the Obama administration lifted it.

The Air Force said it first cremated the remains and then included those ashes in larger loads of mortuary medical waste that were burned in an incinerator and taken to a landfill. Incinerating medical waste is a common disposal practice but including cremated human ashes is not, according to funeral home directors, regulators and waste haulers.

This is a fucking joke.

Cantor has hedge funds placed on if and when Congress fails. I have never in my life seen such a bunch of POS' covering their assess.

Let me make this clear: It is my opinion that hedge funds are about the same as insider trading.
