I’ll be leaving for Haiti in the morning. Not knowing all the specifics as to Internet availability (my friend’s Blackberry does not even work in PaP), the decision to leave my life’s blood (also known as my MacBook) behind was default. It appears I may not be able to write full length articles from the clinic. The rumor is, though, that texting is still available over some networks; if this article is accurate, then...

Loretta Napoleoni and the global economics of terrorism
Loretta Napoleoni gave the following talk at TED last summer. Napoleoni, a macroeconomist whose introduction to terrorism and money came through interviewing the Italian Red Brigades, demonstrates the intricate linkage of world finance and terrorist moneymaking. She also suggests the primary activity of terror networks is not politics or violence, but the raising of capital, which, in turn, funds the violence to further political ends. Loretta Napoleoni is an Italian born economist, author, journalist...
Haiti awaits

The team, part of Helping Hands Foreign Missions, has been assembled from different states and anticipates two days of traveling–including a 156 mile, 13 hour bus ride–just to arrive in the stricken area.

Republican response to the SOTU
The Republican response to the State of the Union address will be given by Bob McDonald, the 11-day on the job governor of VA. Weak joke about his kids giving him 10 minutes to finish so they can go watch Sportscenter. “One in ten Americans is unemployed and that is unacceptable.” So far, he sounds just like the President. “The...

Radiation oncologist claims proof of the afterlife
January 25, 2010—Near-death experiences have long been a fascinating phenomenon, prompting more questions than answers. According to a Gallup poll, between 8 to 12 million Americans—around five percent—say they have had a near-death experience. Despite these substantial numbers, most scientists are at a loss to explain these events. Dr. Jeffrey Long, a radiation oncologist, has spent the last twelve years studying over a thousand cases of near-death experience. In his groundbreaking new book, EVIDENCE...
Live blogging the State of the Union address
Tomorrow night martyduren.com will be live blogging President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address. The address will be carried on all channels except for Spike TV which will doubtless have reruns of C.S.I., a girly show appealing to adolescent males overflowing with testosterone or UFC, a male show appeals to adult males overflowing with testosterone. The president’s address will likely have undergone major revisions as a result of Scott Brown’s recent win in...
Brian Regan in concert, a review
Sunday night, January 17, my wife and I “cashed in” on a Christmas gift when we saw Brian Regan’s comedy concert at the Tivoli Theater in Chattanooga, TN. Regan, whose self-deprecating humor is a hit with fans of all ages, did not disappoint. From his opening riff about the Chattanooga “International” Airport to the encore, including his repeated lampooning of his own joke that fell flat, listeners were in a state of near ab-spasm...

Quite unknown to the participants in last evening’s ‘Hope for Haiti’ all star telethon, martyduren.com has been able to speak with a listener willing to share what was overheard at the phone bank. The Hope for Haiti telethon aired on every major network, some minor networks and, reportedly, the CIA satellite surveillance system from 8:00-10:00pm, Friday, January 22. Alternating between stars making special appeals (Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts), Haitian survivors and musicians both in...
