OTTAWA (AFP) - A former Canadian defense minister is demanding governments worldwide disclose and use secret alien technologies obtained in alleged UFO crashes to stem climate change, a local paper said Wednesday.

"I would like to see what (alien) technology there might be that could eliminate the burning of fossil fuels within a generation ... that could be a way to save our planet," Paul Hellyer, 83, told the Ottawa Citizen.

Colorado could let inmates work on farms 1 hour, 23 minutes ago



Colorado is considering letting prison inmates work on private farms after farmers complained that an illegal-immigration crackdown has left them short-handed, officials said.

Two vegetable farmers told prison officials and lawmakers that they need five to 20 workers and will pay up to $9.60 an hour — more than they've paid migrant workers in the past — but can't find anyone to do the work.

The Pueblo Country farmers, Joe Pisciotta and Phil Prutch, said immigrant workers are afraid to come to Colorado because of its tougher immigrant laws passed last summer. Among other things, the laws require people receiving state and federal benefits to prove they are legal U.S. residents.

"They've just given up and gone to other states that don't have these new laws. They just don't want to deal with it," Pisciotta said.

The Corrections Department program would probably start in Pueblo County, operating under the prison industries division, which already trains and employs about 1,200 inmates, department Executive Director Ari Zavaras said.

"Depending on how well it works, we'll see where it will go," Zavaras said this week.

He said the program fits his and Gov. Bill Ritter's new emphasis on reducing recidivism. Under current growth estimates, prison construction will cost the state hundreds of millions of dollars over the next five years.

Colorado's prison industries system already has internal agricultural jobs including growing flowers, raising bees and cultivating wine grapes. Inmates also manufacture items ranging from furniture to plastic bags.

Ideology aside, how do you rank these candidates based upon qualifications for the Presidency? Naturally, everyone's definition of "qualifications" may vary, but I trust there are more similarities in everyone's definitions than differences.

CANDIDATES TO BE RANKED:

Obama, Clinton, Edwards, Biden, Richardson, Kucinich, McCain, Guiliani, Romney, Brownback.

Despite efforts to punish criminals and make them fear crime, there is little evidence that the fear of apprehension and punishment can reduce crime rates.

I'm writing an essay and I need a better ending help me out?
This is from the aspect that I am president and I need to make a decision about taking the troops out of iraq Reguardless of you opinion help me with an ending please

As the president of the United States of America, my job as president takes some critical thinking. One bad decision and nations could collide. One wrong mistake and mass war could break loose. I have to take into consideration all sides and weigh the consequences. As the American people shout, “Take our troops out of Iraq and leave the country alone!” I also have to consider what could be the consequences of removing the forces which keep the country together. In addition to opposing Americans, if I make the wrong decision it could break relationships between countries and cause many problems. While 75 percent of the American population votes to take Americans out of Iraq, this is a decision that would take careful weighing.
America is a country based

Usually gang violence is targetted against other people in the underworld, it seldom attacks normal society. Why are the police wasting money trying to stop gangbangers from shooting holes into each other when no innocents are being hurt?

In January I got a ticket for public intoxication in Wal-Mart, even though I wasnt drunk. I guess thats beside the point since I got the ticket anyways, but I requested the wrong day off of work, so I couldnt go to court to get a payment plan or anything. Ive called and told the court that I cant afford $756 and the clerk basically said tough luck. I really don't want to get arrested, considering I still live with my parents, and they dont know about the ticket. How long does it take for you to get picked up on a warrant? What are my options?
