[Breitbart] Former Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom is reportedly fighting for his life after being found unconscious at a Nevada brothel on Tuesday. TMZ is reporting the 35-year-old former husband of Khloe Kardashian had been partying with girls alone for days at the Love Ranch South in Pahrump, Nevada.
According to the New York Daily News, Odom had been using an herbal substitute for Viagra, though it was not clear if the supplement use was related to his condition.
Some time on Tuesday afternoon, a woman entered his VIP suite and found him unconscious on the floor, at which point she found the brothel's manager. Once the manager arrived, Odom was rolled over, and a "mucus-type liquid" was seen coming out of his nose and mouth, a source told TMZ.
The brothel's staff called an ambulance, and the former NBA champion was taken to an area hospital, where he was put on a ventilator.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A homeless Indian man who had been pronounced dead woke up on an autopsy table, shocking hospital staff who were about to begin a post-mortem, authorities said Tuesday.
Police in Mumbai said they found the man, who has not been named, unconscious and suffering from multiple infections on Sunday morning and took him to the local hospital.
A doctor at the Lokmanya Tilak Municipal General Hospital certified the man as dead and sent the body for an appointment with Dr. Quincy, Ashok Dudhe, Mumbai Police deputy commissioner told AFP.
"As the autopsy was about to begin, the man awoke triggering chaos after which the doctors rushed to the room. Then they snatched the death certificate from my staff and tore it up," Dudhe said.
Hospital dean Dr SLearned Elders of Islamn Merchant said the police forced the error by asking doctors to examine the man on the road outside the hospital, because they were busy with security arrangements for a visit by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"They forced my doctor to examine the patient on the roadside as they wanted to rush back to the prime minister's security duty," Merchant said.
"Had the police allowed my staff to take the man indoors, they might have been able to do a better job," he said.
The man is being treated in the hospital for severe malnutrition, suspected alcoholism and substance abuse, Merchant said.
"He is delirious still and we are trying to stabilise him. Let's hope the damage from his past can be tackled," the dean said.
Police officer Dudhe called the suggestion police were responsible for the mix-up "ridiculous" and said the hospital was "trying to cover up their negligence".
The police have finished an internal enquiry into the incident and a report has been sent to the commissioner's office, he added.
Mumbai's police are regularly faced with unclaimed dead bodies and media reports have suggested mortuaries are running out of space to hold the corpses.
An Indian man who shocked hospital staff when he woke up on an autopsy table just before a post-mortem was about to begin has died, authorities said Wednesday.
On Sunday a hospital doctor in Mumbai mistakenly certified the homeless man, who has been named as Prakash, as dead after police found him unconscious and suffering from multiple infections.
Just as the autopsy was about to start, hospital staff were given the fright of their lives when the man started breathing. They later rushed him to intensive care.
Police and doctors pointed the finger of blame at each other for the misdiagnosis but were in agreement on Wednesday that the man had succumbed to his infections late on Tuesday.
"Yes, he has died," Ashok Dudhe, Mumbai Police deputy commissioner, told AFP.
Another autopsy is scheduled. This time, may Prakash rest in peace.

When booking your ticket from Earth
And boarding for death and rebirth,
Be careful in Mumbai
If called dead, and whom by,
Or sleep in a hard AC berth.

Deleted the too-wide first attempt, smiling happily because you apologized so nicely while posting the fixed version, Blossom Unains5562. Bless you for climbing that learning curve so quickly!

Are you a recent law school graduate looking to pay off all that massive student loan? Well start advertizing like the asbestos and medical lawyers suing companies and tapping settlement money by going after university and their officials (and the endowment funds) for flagrant disregard of students' civil rights. Make that expansion in college administrators far more expensive than the little empire builders ever thought possible.
With oil revenues down for the foreseeable future, another source of income must be found post haste.
[AnNahar] Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... is planning to triple the number of visas it issues for the umrah pilgrimage, newspapers reported on Monday, more than two weeks after a deadly hajj stampede.
The Saudi Gazette and Okaz newspapers quoted Hajj Minister Bandar al-Hajjar as saying that as many as 1.25 million pilgrims are expected to arrive each month starting next year. That compares with 400,000 a month now, the reports said. The new system would allow full use of massive expansion projects at the kingdom's holy sites, Hajjar was quoted as saying.
Umrah is a lesser pilgrimage carried out any time during the year.
The major hajj pilgrimage, which all Muslims with the means are expected to complete at least once in their lives, this year drew about two million faithful.
The number had declined, particularly because of a multi-billion-dollar expansion which began four years ago at the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Islam's holiest site. The 400,000-square-metre (4.3-million-square-feet) Grand Mosque enlargement is the equivalent of more than 50 football pitches, and it will allow the complex to accommodate roughly two million people at once.
A crane working on the expansion collapsed into a courtyard of the mosque on September 11, killing at least 108 people including foreign pilgrims, just before hajj.
An even greater tragedy, the worst ever in the history of the pilgrimage, occurred on September 24 during a stoning ritual at Mina, near Mecca. The stampede killed at least 1,587 people, according to tallies issued by foreign officials in more than 30 countries. The toll greatly exceeds the figure of 769 provided by Saudi Arabia.
A formal Saudi inquiry is under way into the stampede, which left hundreds of pilgrims still unaccounted for.
Predicted conclusion: People in crowds can be stupid, and the larger the crowds the stupider.
Efforts to identify the dead continue at a health ministry facility guarded by security officers in the Mecca suburb of Muaissem, sources say. Representatives from foreign consulates are allowed in to the single-storey building to try to identify bodies through albums of photographs, said a source familiar with the operation. Authorities are also using DNA and fingerprint analysis.
Access to the site by journalists is denied.
The same facility also contains the bodies of victims from the stampede,
...hopefully refrigerated...
said the source.
Muaissem is home to the Muala cemetery which many Saudis choose as their final resting place because it is near Islam's holy sites.
Saudi Arabia's organization of the hajj and its response to the disaster provoked foreign criticism, particularly from regional rival Iran, which reported the largest number of dead at 464.
A senior Saudi religious leader, Sheikh Abdulrahman al-Sudais, last Friday denounced "lies" being spread about the kingdom after the accidents.
[AA.TR] Twitter announced Tuesday that it would lay off roughly 8 percent of its workforce -- a week after Jack Dorsey became the microblogging platform's new permanent CEO.
The layoffs will mostly affect employees working in the company's engineering and product divisions, the company noted. As many as 336 employees will be dropped of an estimated total of 4,100 global workers.
The layoffs are part of a larger strategy of reviving user growth and expanding into new markets. Wall Street responded positively, with shares of the company jumping 6 percent during Tuesday morning trading. This increase is rare good stock news for Twitter which has seen its stock battered this year as its user base remained stagnant and it searched for a CEO.

No biggie, they'll all get jobs with Comrade Bernie and Hillary!s campaigns.
Republican voters think the economy is the number one issue but can't manage a public discussion on economic policy, as I observed Oct. 4 ("Who are you, and what have you done with the Republican Party?"). They flail at hot-button issues, defunding Planned Parenthood, for example, and look for scapegoats such as illegal Mexican immigrants (whose numbers are actually falling). It seems pointless to make predictions of any sort in the midst of the moral equivalent of a riot, but nonetheless I will go out on a limb: the Republicans will nominate Sen. Ted Cruz as president and Sen. Marco Rubio as vice-president, by process of elimination.
This conclusion seems inevitable by process of elimination. The voters are in a surly, rebellious mood and display their anger by telling pollsters they will vote for anti-Establishment candidates who never have held office (Trump, Carson, Fiorina, Paul).
...The four anti-Establishment candidates together command 58% of Republican preferences, according to the CBS poll. But it is unlikely that the party ultimately will nominate any of them. They simply are too volatile, too inexperienced and too labile to carry a presidential campaign. If that assumption is correct (and it is a big assumption), then that 58% will have to go somewhere else.
We can array the Republican candidates in a Venn diagram, with two regions denoting "experience" (holders of high political office) vs. the rebels. There is one name and one name only in the intersection of the two Venn diagrams, namely Cruz: he is perceived as anti-Establishment, but he has held high office at the state and national level.
Cruz is the likeliest person to inherit the 58% anti-Establishment vote once the Trump-Carson-Fiorina euphoria fades. It's noteworthy that Cruz polls strongest among elected officials in the Republican race, at 9% this morning vs. 5% in September. Most of his gain appears to have come at the expense of former Gov. Mike Huckabee, which suggests that conservative evangelicals are consolidating their efforts around Sen. Cruz. The Republicans need a candidate with anti-Establishment credentials. A Jeb Bush ticket would risk defections to third-party challengers.
Cruz, moreover, has the strongest organization on the ground among all the Republican candidates. CBS news reported last week that he raised $12.2 million in the third quarter, more than twice the $6 million raised by Sen. Marco Rubio. Ben Carson, to be sure, raised about $20 million, but Carson simply will not be the candidate. The average Cruz donation was just $66, and the Texas senator has a strong grassroots organization, perhaps the strongest of any of the Republican candidates.
Of course the Media will be pushing Jeb very hard and tear down anyone else by hook or by crook. They know that if they can get Jeb on the Trunk ticket then Hillary or Sanders would be an almost shoe in.
I would never vote for Jeb. May as well vote for Hillary so when TSHTF it blows back on them.
#4
So you would then assure we had the least capable person in charge when TSHTF.
I'm not so sure about that. But the point is the money men backing guys like Bush need to understand that people are not going to vote for him...even if it means Hildebeest in the White House because there is no discernible difference between them. It's all over for the GOP if they can't see that. No more Tweedledee/Tweedledum. No more Bush/Clinton/Clinton/Bush. Not if there's gonna be amnesty, plastic crap from China, fighting wars for Arabs and $20 trillion debt.

Spengler (Goldman) has worked this out via flawless reasoning.
Of course, both 'flawless' and 'reasoning' are foreign concepts where the Republican Party is concerned.

You are probably right about the republicans beng blamed anyway. But I just can't hold my nose and vote for Jeb just because he had a 'R' behind his name. I would probably stay home.

[DAWN] PESHAWAR: A First Information Report (FIR) was lodged in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire. 's Sharqi cop shoppe after a juvenile prisoner claimed that he and other juvenile inmates have been sexually abused inside the Peshawar Central Prison.
The FIR was registered on the orders of Peshawar district and sessions judge, Shahid Khan, against five people, including two jail officials and three prisoners, nominated by the victim in the sexual abuse case.
The nominated persons include two jail officials identifed as Ajmal and Anwar, inmate Rahat numberdar and another prisoner known as prisoner number 75 or pichatara.
The victim, in his statement before police, maintained that an assistant jailer and Rahat numberdar forcefully took him to the cell of prisoner number 75, where he was sexually abused.
Upon his protest, Rahat not only beat him but ordered prisoner number 75 to 'continue his work'.
The juvenile prisoner claimed that the jail assistants took a total sum of 6,000 rupees from the alleged rapist for the purpose, urging a medical checkup to ascertain his claim.
According to a Dawn Newspaper report published on Tuesday, the boy, stated to be around 14-15, had lodged a complaint with the Peshawar district and sessions judge, Shahid Khan, who had ordered an inquiry into the matter.
An official said the judicial magistrate had recorded the alleged victim's statement and ordered production of the record of the jail's juvenile section.
The boy had allegedly said that some jail officials randomly took out juvenile inmates and supplyed them to different prisoners in exchange for monetary return.
The 'victim' said other juvenile inmates had not been raising their voice out of fear of torture by the prison officials as well as adult prisoners.

[IraqiNews] Chief Executive of Kuwaiti Government Petroleum Corporation, Nizar Al-Adsani, announced on Monday, that his company has conducted negotiations with Iran and Iraq to import gas.
Adsani said in a statement during a conference in Kuwait City, "we talked with our brothers in the Republic of Iraq and the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran to import gas."
Adsani added that "Kuwait is in need of gas for power plants," noting that, "up till now we have not agreed on the quantities and prices."
And goodness knows, Iraq could use another income source to offset the reduced price of oil.
