The Ministry of Defence has confirmed a sonic device will be deployed in London during the Olympics.
The American-made Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) can be used to send verbal warnings over a long distance or emit a beam of pain-inducing tones.
The equipment was spotted fixed to a landing craft on the Thames at Westminster this week.
The manufacturer denies it is a weapon and the MoD said it would be used “primarily in the loud hailer mode”.
House panel: Don’t even think about more base closings
It wasn’t enough for lawmakers to refuse approval of additional rounds of base closings; they have voted to stop the Pentagon from spending any money on even considering the idea.
The Military Times reports the House Armed Services Committee, which omitted the Pentagon’s request to authorize two more rounds of base closings in the 2013 defense authorization bill, added a provision to the bill that would specifically bar spending any money next year “to propose, plan for or execute” the base closing and realignment process. The 44-18 vote came Wednesday.
The Mayans reveal their darkest mysteries: New excavation reveals secrets of their calendar – including black-clad figures and symbols never seen before
A vast city built by the ancient Mayan civilisation and discovered nearly a century ago in modern day Guatemala is finally starting to yield its secrets – including a hint that apocalyptic predictions around the ‘end’ of the Mayan Calendar may be wrong.
Excavating for the first time in the sprawling complex of Xultzn in Guatemala’s Peten region, archaeologists have uncovered a structure that contains what appears to be a work space for the town’s scribe.
Its walls are adorned with unique paintings – one depicting a line-up of men in black uniforms, and hundreds of scrawled numbers – many calculations relating to the Mayan calendar, and stretching up to 7,000 years into the future.

Fracking: A dehydrated UK, watered only by capitalism
UK residents worry that the water consumed in fracking is going to make a severe drought even worse [AP]
London, United Kingdom – Fracking: environmental and human destruction at its very worst. Groundwater contamination, billions of gallons of fresh water squandered, small earthquakes, toxic air emissions, reports of radiation, and not even tap water going up in flames are enough to halt the decimation of our precious countryside, in an attempt to extract copious volumes of natural gas from the unearthed, sedimentary shale rocks below.
Desperate destroyers, shielded within a self-regulating industry, think of nothing but profit as they hydraulically fracture rocks with a lethal cocktail of chemicals, sand and billions and billions of gallons of fresh water. Fracking is the latest devastating testament to how destructive capitalism has suffocated and engulfed our precious planet.
In May 2010, after entering office, Prime Minister David Cameron stood up and declared: “I want this to be the greenest government ever.” That spurious statement has not been honoured. This British government has chosen to do nothing except ignore all the toxic consequences associated with the dirtiest and most invasive extraction method of natural gas.
Ron Paul Eats With Ben Bernanke: ‘He’s For The Gold Standard Now’
Ron Paul ate with Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve, on Wednesday, and after their meal Paul joked that “he’s for the gold standard now.”
Ron Paul, the only remaining official opponent to Mitt Romney in the 2012 Republican presidential primary, and Bernanke ate together at the Federal Reserve‘s headquarters in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, during which they had what Paul described as “sort of an open discussion,” according to the Wall Street Journal.
The meeting was certainly an odd one, as the two leaders are not exactly similarly-minded, as Ben Bernanke heads the Federal Reserve and the Texas Congressman led a hearing on Tuesday to consider proposals to end or overhaul the Fed .

OTTAWA — Conservative MPs used their majority on a House of Commons committee Thursday to double the maximum penalty for wearing a mask or disguise during a riot to 10 years behind bars.
A Conservative private member’s bill originally proposed creating Criminal Code offences with maximum penalties of five years in prison but Tory MPs amended the proposed legislation despite objections from the NDP.
Tory MP Blake Richards introduced the Concealment of Identity Act in April, but debate on legislation began last week. Government support usually ensures a bill’s passage.
Piggycide? Farmers Considered Felons in Michigan, Forced to Mass Slaughter their Healthy Pigs
In the heart of Western Michigan are picturesque rural towns that are now a backdrop to a raging battle between farmers and the government. The Department of Natural Resources in Michigan has deemed a certain type of pigs an invasive species. Farmers have been ordered to slaughter every last one of their pigs and piglets and farmers that don’t comply are now faced with jail time and a felony. But some farmers are putting up a fight. RT Correspondent Liz Wahl and Photojournalist Jon Conway traveled to Michigan to investigate what’s really behind the swine carnage.
John Waters on “Free Speech” (Adult Contents)

The Baltimore Icon and celebrated film director, John Waters of “Hairspray” and “bad taste” fame, shared his views on the controversial issue of “Free Speech” in our society and its limits. His comments were part of a “Symposium on Free Speech,” cosponsored by the Maryland Institute College of Arts (MICA) and the Maryland branch of the ACLU, on September 17, 2007, in Baltimore, MD. Mr. Waters recalled his many problems with the now defunct Maryland Film Censor Board getting his early movie classics publicly presented; the heroics of “Grove Press” in its censorship battles over banned books; and, generally, the matter of “Freedom of the Press” in this country. Before a capacity audience, Mr. Waters, who is also an author, standup comic and lecturer, touched on subjects as varied as: Lenny Bruce; objecting to Spiro T. Agnew; Pro Peace protesters at the Pentagon; “Red Necks;” cigarette ads; movie ratings; the Internet; “The Block” in Baltimore City; ex-Maryland Governor Harry Roe Hughes; MICA; and the atheist, the late Madalyn Murray O’Hair, who he said: “loved being hated.” In his talk, Mr. Waters also traced the history of how certain words have been held to be obscene, but that after a period of time, those very same words have found their way into the mainstream as a result of the evolving community standards.
