Fwd: My wife has discovered reruns of Quincy on Netflix. I get to hear Jack rant from the other room all day. <looking for football games> (via http://friendfeed.com/wallace...)
I can't access Friendfeed directly anymore. I have to go to Facebook, to the applications page and use their link to my Friendfeed page. After that ( for a short while ) I can access my Friendfeed page normally. Does this indicate that I have been suspended from Friendfeed, or perhaps been hacked? I find it odd that I must visit Facebook first.

Facebook has notified me that they cannot publish to my facebook wall, and that I should fix this problem. I've changed the settings at facebook, and am posting from the facebook application ( http://apps.facebook.com/friendf... ) page.
Hey friendfeed/facebook. I don't want to crosspost to facebook! So why do I have to allow facebook access to friendfeed? Because you own it? That sucks! Today I discovered why I couldn't sign into friendfeed. It's because facebook wouldn't let me! Right, that sucks. ( that page doesn't exist...blah blah blah... )
Facebook, you suck. I just discovered why I couldn't access my friendfeed account. I had denied access to friendfeed on my facebook account. That sucks. Big time.
"Here he was, being sworn in again as mayor of one of northern Mexico's most exclusive communities, and he had wonderful news to share: ''Black Saldana, who apparently is the one who was asking for my head, was found dead today in Mexico City,'' he told his cheering supporters Saturday in San Pedro Garza Garcia, near Monterrey. The problem was that the barefoot, blindfolded corpse of ''Black Saldana'' -- whose real first name is Hector -- wasn't found for another 3 1/2 hours, according to Mexico City prosecutors. And he wouldn't be identified for two days."

"UN inspectors have arrived in Iran where they are due to visit a previously secret nuclear facility. The plant is near the city of Qom and the UN officials are expected to remain in the country for three days. The visit comes as further difficulties are experienced by the major powers trying to agree a deal with Iran over its nuclear programme. Under a new proposed plan, Iran would send its enriched uranium away to be turned into fuel. The inspection will be the first time monitors from the United Nation's nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), have been allowed access to the enrichment plant. BBC Tehran correspondent Jon Leyne says Iran announced the existence of the new facility last month, apparently because Western intelligence had already discovered it. Our correspondent says that Iran would have had plenty of time to remove anything that might be incriminating ahead of the inspectors' visit."

"October 23, 2009 In the ongoing health care overhaul drama, the Obama administration and the health insurance industry have gone from uneasy allies to bitter adversaries. One result is that health insurers stand to lose a privilege their industry has enjoyed for the past 64 years: They, like Major League Baseball, have been exempt from federal antitrust laws. Congressional Democrats are now pushing to strip the health insurance industry of that exemption. Things turned ugly earlier this month after the health insurance industry rejected the health care makeover it once supported. President Obama dedicated his most recent weekly address almost entirely to blasting those insurers; he accused them of skimming big profits off ever-escalating premiums. "They're earning these profits and bonuses while enjoying a privileged exception from our antitrust laws, a matter that Congress is rightfully reviewing," the president said."

"Taliban militants are engaged in street fighting with Pakistani soldiers as the army tries to break the militants' grip on South Waziristan. Both sides claim to have suffered few casualties but residents in the remote area say dozens have died. The army, on the second day of its offensive, is reported to be facing battle-hardened militants, supported by Uzbek fighters linked to al-Qaeda. At least 20,000 people have fled the area over the last week. Reports from the region are sketchy as it is difficult and dangerous for foreign or Pakistani journalists to operate inside South Waziristan"

"TEHRAN, Oct 18 (Reuters) - A suicide bomber killed at least two senior commanders of Iran's Revolutionary Guards in the country's southeast Sunday during an attack in which 60 people died or were wounded, Iranian media reported.

"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- More than 3,000 U.S. troops scheduled to deploy to Iraq won't go after all, as the military tries to draw down troop levels in the war-torn country, a Pentagon spokesman said Saturday. U.S. troops speak to an Iraqi child in Baghdad on Monday. 1 of 2 The 1st Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division will not replace a North Carolina National Guard unit already in Iraq, Lt. Col. Eric Butterbaugh told CNN. The 3,500-troop combat team, based in Fort Drum, New York, was to leave in January, he said. "[The cancellation] reflects a thorough assessment of the security environment in Iraq and continued improvement in the ability of the Iraqi security forces to safeguard Iraqi citizens and institutions," Butterbaugh said."

"For Pakistan's much-maligned security forces, this offensive in South Waziristan is a chance to prove to the world how committed they are in the battle against militancy. "There are bombs going off everywhere - you must tell the world what is happening," Sher Gul, a terrified resident of Tiarza in South Waziristan told the BBC after arriving in Dera Ismail Khan."

"PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) - Pakistani aircraft bombed militants in the South Waziristan region on the Afghan border Tuesday as government forces prepare for a ground offensive against the militant hub, security officials said. The government says most attacks in the country -- including four big ones over the past week that killed more than 100 people -- are plotted in South Waziristan, the main bastion of al Qaeda-linked Pakistani Taliban and their allies. "There's been a heavy bombardment. They targeted some militant hideouts as well as pro-Taliban tribal elders," said an intelligence agency official in the region, who declined to be identified. Two ethnic Pashtun tribal elders were said to have been killed, he said."
