A municipal worker in suburban St. Louis has been arrested after allegedly running over and seriously injuring a TV station photojournalist as reporters hurled questions at a village leader who sought refuge in a public works truck. FOX affiliate KTVI reported that the Velda City Police Department was called to investigate last month in Hillsdale, which has a population of around 8,100 and is one of nearly 90 municipalities in St. Louis County. Police said the worker was taken into custody this week and released pending a prosecutor's review to decide if charges will be filed. The station reported that its journalists had gone to Village Hall, which was closed for lunch at the time, because multiple residents faced threats that their cars would be towed. After interviewing Police Chief John Bernsen outside, Fox Files hoped to talk to top village official Dorothy Moore, the chair of the Board of Trustees. The chief said Moore wasn't there, but the reporters overheard her inside the building asking him what the reporters wanted. When the building reopened, they went inside to try to ask questions of Moore, who exited through the back door and climbed into the truck. A Hillsdale employee also got in the vehicle and started to drive off at the urging of Moore, hitting photojournalist Wade Smith with a trailer attached to the truck, according to the police incident report. It said the vehicle continued without stopping and an ambulance arrived to take Smith to the hospital to be treated for a severe leg injury. The report said Moore and the driver later returned to talk to police. The driver said he saw the photojournalist lying on the ground in the rearview mirror but was unaware he had been struck by the vehicle. Hillsdale officials didn't immediately respond to a phone message seeking comment. Moore has a history of not talking to reporters, and a sign at a small corner store where she holds court bars members of the media.

Osho on Spontaneity

Osho on Spontaneity – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity Osho – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity. The spontaneous person is innocent. He has a quality that only children have, and that is the meaning of purity, innocence. He has the quality that animals have and the trees have and which man has lost. To be spontaneous means not to act out of the past, because out of the past is all cunningness, cleverness, calculation, arithmetic. When you act in the moment and it has no reference to your past, the action has a beauty, a purity – the same as a small child’s act. Whether he laughs or cries or goes into a tantrum or becomes angry, all his acts have purity – it is uncalculated. His anger is hot and not cold. The calculated anger is cold. His anger is natural, a responsiveness. He has not brooded over it, he has not planned it. He is just in the hands of nature – hence the beauty. He is surrendered to his nature; he is not trying to cont...

British victory in Falklands War might spur Argentina to build nukes CIA feared

Agency worried that Argentina's political isolation following defeat could play a role in a decision to advance its nuclear program The CIA feared that British victory in the 1982 Falklands conflict would encourage Argentina's ruling military junta to step up its efforts to construct nuclear weapons, according to a newly uncovered report. Intelligence analysts at the spy agency examining the issue of nuclear proliferation wrote in a secret report that "the Falkland Islands crisis is raising security issues for Buenos Aires that could influence Argentine attitudes towards the development of nuclear technology." The report, dated 24 April 1982, said: "A humiliation in the Falklands probably would encourage the conclusion that the possession of nuclear weapons - or merely the foreign belief that Argentina had such weapons - might have made the UK more accommodating. A major reverse for Argentina in the dispute could persuade it to proceed to build nuclear weapons....
