1.3 women are raped in every minute, 2.8 million men are raped once in their lifetime, 422 thousand men are raped in prisons... These are just a few examples of a culture that the American government has caused by its cultural policies.

While the governments who oppose the U.S. government are condemned for spreading violence against the women, a closer examination of the matter shows that this issue is much more prevalent in the U.S. itself. Its existing cultural policies are pouring fuel on the fire.

One of the worst cases of the violation against women is sexual assault and attacking women's or even men's rights in the field of sexual relations is caused by the moral decay ruling these relations in the United States of America. Considering this point, some American private institutes and NGO's are motivated to do research in this field followed by their attempt to help the presumed victims of this story.

The report that you have in front of you is based on a number of statistical reports from some of the most credited institutes and tries to clear out, to some extent, this immorality and violation by relying on NGO's reports. It is crystal clear that we can notice some differences in statistics, coming from different institutes, which are due to the different statistical populations and research methodologies being implemented. Nevertheless, all of the reports are describing the formation of a catastrophic event in American society that has unfortunately become part of the American culture.

A military judge has rejected Pfc. Bradley Manning's attempt to have all charges against him dismissed and has ruled that he must face a court martial on charges that he leaked thousands of classified U.S. government cables to the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks.

The court martial will start Sept. 21, military judge Col. Denise Lind said Wednesday.

Manning is accused of downloading more than 700,000 classified or confidential files from the military while serving in Iraq, the largest leak of classified documents in U.S. history.

Lind said that military prosecutors and Manning's defense team had decided on a tentative trial schedule beginning Sept. 21 and lasting through Oct. 12. The trial will start more than two years after Manning was arrested.

A proposal from the Obama administration to prevent children from doing farm chores has drawn plenty of criticism from rural-district members of Congress. But now it's attracting barbs from farm kids themselves.

The Department of Labor is poised to put the finishing touches on a rule that would apply child-labor laws to children working on family farms, prohibiting them from performing a list of jobs on their own families' land.

Under the rules, children under 18 could no longer work "in the storing, marketing and transporting of farm product raw materials."

"Prohibited places of employment," a Department press release read, "would include country grain elevators, grain bins, silos, feed lots, stockyards, livestock exchanges and livestock auctions."

The new regulations, first proposed August 31 by Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, would also revoke the government's approval of safety training and certification taught by independent groups like 4-H and FFA, replacing them instead with a 90-hour federal government training course.

Rossie Blinson, a 21-year-old college student from Buis Creek, N.C., told The Daily Caller that the federal government's plan will do far more harm than good.

"The main concern I have is that it would prevent kids from doing 4-H and FFA projects if they're not at their parents' house," said Blinson.

"I started showing sheep when I was four years old. I started with cattle around 8. It's been very important. I learned a lot of responsibility being a farm kid."

The phosphorus shells that devastated this city were fired in 2004. But are the victims of America's dirty war still being born?

For little Sayef, there will be no Arab Spring. He lies, just 14 months old, on a small red blanket cushioned by a cheap mattress on the floor, occasionally crying, his head twice the size it should be, blind and paralysed. Sayeffedin Abdulaziz Mohamed - his full name - has a kind face in his outsized head and they say he smiles when other children visit and when Iraqi families and neighbours come into the room.

But he will never know the history of the world around him, never enjoy the freedoms of a new Middle East. He can move only his hands and take only bottled milk because he cannot swallow. He is already almost too heavy for his father to carry. He lives in a prison whose doors will remain forever closed.

It's as difficult to write this kind of report as it is to understand the courage of his family. Many of the Fallujah families whose children have been born with what doctors call "congenital birth anomalies" prefer to keep their doors closed to strangers, regarding their children as a mark of personal shame rather than possible proof that something terrible took place here after the two great American battles against insurgents in the city in 2004, and another conflict in 2007.

After at first denying the use of phosphorous shells during the second battle of Fallujah, US forces later admitted that they had fired the munitions against buildings in the city. Independent reports have spoken of a birth-defect rate in Fallujah far higher than other areas of Iraq, let alone other Arab countries. No one, of course, can produce cast-iron evidence that American munitions have caused the tragedy of Fallujah's children.

Armenians around the world Tuesday marked the 97th anniversary of the World War I massacre of their ancestors by Ottoman Turks, rekindling anger at Turkey for denying the deaths were genocide.

Thousands took part in an annual procession to a hilltop memorial in the Armenian capital Yerevan, carrying candles and flowers to lay at the eternal flame at the centre of the monument commemorating the mass killings in what was then the Ottoman Empire.

"Today we, just as many, many others all over the world, bow to the memory of the innocent victims of the Armenian genocide," President Serzh Sarkisian, who led officials laying wreaths at the monument, said in a statement.

"This day is one of those moments when the entire nation rallies around the unification of our homeland," he said.

Armenians say up to 1.5 million people were killed during World War I as the Ottoman Empire was falling apart, a claim supported by many historians and several other countries.

The website of the international airport in Tahiti in French Polynesia has been hacked, displaying a message that the French President Nicolas Sarkozy died in a plane crash.

The airport director says the website manager is trying to trace the hackers, adding that they are seeking advice on whether to lodge a formal complaint.

For several hours, the site carried a message that a private jet with the President aboard had vanished from the radar screen after sending a distress signal near Bora Bora.

Gel has 62% ethyl alcohol; it's akin to hard liquor and can sicken with a few shots.

Doctors are seriously worried about a sick trend - teens drinking hand sanitizer.

Six young people recently landed in a Southern California emergency room with alcohol poisoning after chugging the antimicrobial gel.

Hand sanitizer contains a whopping 62% ethyl alcohol - making the foul liquid akin to a shot of hard liquor.

YouTube has seen an influx of videos of teens chugging the foul germ-killing goo.

Dr. Young-jin Sue, a pediatric toxicologist at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, said that she hasn't seen any cases of teens coming into the ER after overdosing on the alcohol-rich gel.

"Teens don't have access to ethyl alcohol so they resort to crazy things," she said. "It's very concentrated, just a few ounces can make someone sick."

Teens have a long tradition of looking in the medicine cabinet in order get a cheap buzz.

US: Dewitt, New York - 28 protesters have been arrested after a demonstration against reaper drones Sunday afternoon outside Hancock Air National Guard base.

About 150 protesters gathered at the base, protesting without words to the beat of a drum.

The Onondaga County Sheriff's Office said the protesters needed a permit to march on the road. All 150 people were told they would not be arrested if they left quietly, 28 chose to stay put.

The Town of Dewitt local law requires that anyone wishing to protest have a town issued permit to do it.

Add ten more Americans to the list of non-CEOS who've gone to jail since the start of the financial crisis. On Monday afternoon, police arrested ten protesters at the office of Wells Fargo in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, among them a former Methodist minister, a Vietnam veteran, several unemployed Iowans and at least a couple of family farmers.

Former minister Stephanie Simmons, who was arrested Monday, explained her actions shortly after her arrest: "I love democracy and my concern, among other things, is the outrageous salaries and bonuses the bank executives are making when there are people just hanging on by their fingernails."

Simmons lives in Guthrie Center, Iowa (population ca. 1,500). Her congregation of about 130 people supports twenty-seven families with food and other supplies every month.

"Our food banks have run short. Giving in the congregation is at an all-time low because people just don't have the money. Children are short of school supplies." Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf needs to take a look, said Simmons. "Take a look at what you're doing. If you have a conscience at all, you need to take a look."


Des Moines, Iowa, is the national headquarters of Wells Fargo's Home Mortgage division. "Wells Fargo's mortgage office here in Iowa is making billions in profits every year by kicking hardworking families out of their homes and they aren't even paying taxes on their ill-got wealth," said Kenn Bowen, a Vietnam veteran and retired communications worker from Winterset, Iowa, another arrestee. "That ain't right. Wells Fargo should be broken up into smaller, community banks that will put people before profits."

Google (GOOG), LinkedIn (LNKD), Zynga (ZNGA), and, coming soon, Facebook (FB): four companies among the "new breed," where shareholders have effectively no rights other than the chance to ride along with the founders. This model - taking shareholder money without actually surrendering any power - isn't new, but it's becoming more brazen.

In light of Facebook's S-1 (which explicitly states that Mark Zuckerberg has the right to bequeath his voting control to whomever he so chooses) and Google's recent stock split (which actually increased the controlling interests of its founders), it seems there's a growing trend of business founders have their company and selling it too.

"There's a generational shift, where a lot of innovation is coming from young people," says Michael Eisenberg of Benchmark Capital, pointing out that Zuckerberg was 19 years-old and the Google guys were in their early 20's when starting their companies. "They have a pace of innovation which is fundamentally different from most of the corporations we see in America or the world today."

The people with the ability to innovate have all the power. These entrepreneurs are exercising that power by issuing shares as a take-it-or-leave-it proposition. Investors have no obligation to buy shares, but if you do it's on the company's terms.
