Homeland Security allegedly suppose to protect individuals, yet we know what the real deal is. Sometimes children with the same name may get mixed up with adults who have been flagged as alleged threats. However the alphabet boys and Homeland security seems to know this and dont care. So the question now becomes are they targeting DNA, X-Men like potential children?

BP – British Petroleum chief Tony Hayward sold shares weeks before oil spill
Source: Telegraph.co.uk
Tony Hayward cashed in about a third of his holding in the company one month before a well on the Deepwater Horizon rig burst, causing an environmental disaster.
Mr Hayward, whose pay package is £4 million a year, then paid off the mortgage on his family’s mansion in Kent, which is estimated to be valued at more than £1.2 million.
There is no suggestion that he acted improperly or had prior knowledge that the company was to face the biggest setback in its history.
His decision, however, means he avoided losing more than £423,000 when BP’s share price plunged after the oil spill began six weeks ago.
Since he disposed of 223,288 shares on March 17, the company’s share price has fallen by 30 per cent. About £40 billion has been wiped off its total value. The fall has caused pain not just for BP shareholders, but also for millions of company pension funds and small investors who have money held in tracker funds.
The spill, which has still not been stemmed, has caused a serious environmental crisis and is estimated to cost BP up to £40 billion to clean up.
There was growing confidence yesterday that a new cap placed over the well was stemming the oil flow. An estimated three million litres a day had been pouring into the sea off the coast of Louisiana since the April 20 explosion, damaging marine life.
The crisis has enraged US politicians, with President Obama yesterday forced to cancel a trip to Indonesia amid a row over the White House’s response.
Mr Hayward, whose position is thought to be under threat, risked further fury by continuing plans to pay out a dividend to investors next month.

Alien Ants attack Texas and soon NASA

Story 1:
With the local abundance of hurricanes, fire ants, killer bees, alligators, and other dangerous natural phenomena, you might think nothing could scare residents of the Coastal Bend. You would be wrong. A new, devastating species of ant has arrived via cargo ship ballast to the Houston metro area, and it has the rest of Texas up in arms.
The ants, termed Raspberry crazy ants, Nylanderia sp. nr. pubens (LaPolla, et al) until they are further identified by entomologists, are thought to be related to a family of Caribbean and South American ants. Tom Raspberry, the exterminator who discovered the tiny invaders, and other residents call the ants 'crazy' because they move about in a scattered, winding direction, rather than marching in straight lines as many species do. The ants also occur in huge numbers and, although they do not sting, they contain an acidopore with noxious chemicals and have a sharp bite. This drives out local wildlife ranging from birds to insects to house pets; an unsuspecting person that steps into crazy ant territory can be covered from head to toe in a matter of minutes. Because local wildlife are completely driven out of areas inhabited by crazy ants, an eerie, science-fiction-like silence replaces the plethora of grasshopper and bird calls that normally fill our Texas countrysides. But these ants don't limit themselves to outdoors areas. Crazy ants have a strong attraction to anything electrical – and chewing up aforementioned items - and they are rapidly marching towards the NASA Space Station in Houston.
The ants do have one good quality: they drive out red imported fire ants. Unfortunately, they also drive out every other living thing they come across, and are likely to head south, not north, due to their presumed tropical origins. They don't respond to pesticides very well, and they can't be driven out by killing the queen because each colony has multiple queens. The only thing we can do is hope the diligent efforts of researchers at Texas A&M University and Houston residents stops these ants before they take over South Texas.
Story 2:
Nobody knows where they came from ... or even exactly what they are.
But, like the plot of a low-budget horror film, trillions of tiny 'crazy' ants are invading Texas.
They have a liking for computers, other electronics and most of the modern machinery that makes the world go round.
Not because they see them, or the associated wiring, as food. In a phenomenon baffling scientists, they simply seem to be attracted to the heat, magnetic fields or the hum and vibrations from machines.
But they then go on to destroy them by sheer weight of numbers, shorting out electrical circuits, clogging filters and pipes and bringing moving parts grinding to a halt.
Fire alarms have been set off by them, domestic gas meters have seized up and pumping stations at sewage works put out of action.
Even Nasa is worried as the unstoppable reddish-brown ants less than an eighth of an inch long head for the Houston space centre. The Russians were so concerned they telephoned to make sure that the orbiting International Space Station is safe.
The insects have been called 'crazy' because, unlike other ants which move purposefully in single file, they swarm in random directions.
Tom Rasberry, a pest exterminator, first came across a few hundred of the ants in 2002. There are now millions of colonies, spreading out at about half a mile a year.
They like to suck the sap from plants, feed on beneficial insects such as ladybirds and eat the hatchlings of a small, endangered type of Texas grouse known as the Attwater prairie chicken. They also bite humans.
So far, the Texas crazy ants appear virtually indestructible, with most of the best-selling ant-killers having no effect. But when one of the products does kill, the ants pile up their dead to form a bridge over it and seem to build up an immunity before the next attack.
Scientists at Texas A&M University call them 'the ant of all ants' and believe their closest cousins are a species found in Colombia, the Caribbean and Florida. They may have arrived on a ship which docked at Houston's cargo port.
