U.S. and Israel Said to Be Near Agreement on Release of Spy
JERUSALEM — Officials involved in the fraught Israeli-Palestinian peace talks said on Tuesday that an agreement was near to extend the negotiations through 2015 in exchange for the release of Jonathan J. Pollard, an American serving a life sentence for spying for Israel. The agreement would also include the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, including citizens of Israel, and a partial freeze on construction in West Bank settlements.

The Trillions of Dollars U.S. Companies Are Hoarding Overseas
The Atlantic Monthly,
There's a lot of cash on the sidelines, but those sidelines aren't in the U.S. They're overseas—in tax shelters.
According to a new report from ISI Research, U.S. S&P 500 companies now have $1.9 trillion parked outside the country. Now, some of that is just multinational corporations profits overseas—yada, yada, yada, globalization. But a big part of it is tax avoidance. Tech and healthcare companies in particular have created byzantine systems of subsidiaries to channel earnings from high-tax to low-tax jurisdictions. Apple, as you might recall, figured out how to legally avoid paying any corporate income tax anywhere on its $30 billion of overseas profits. It set up Schrödinger's shell company: an Irish subsidiary that didn't owe Irish taxes because it was managed and controlled from the U.S., but didn't owe U.S. taxes because it was incorporated abroad.
You can see how steadily these corporate cash hoards have increased in the chart below. As Dan McCrum points out, it follows a basic power rule: Just 45 companies account for 70 percent of this money.

Malaysia Says There Is Sealed MH370 “Evidence” That Cannot Be Made Public
Malaysian government continues to backtrack after initial evidence in case of missing flight is proven false
MALAYSIA (INTELLIHUB) — Malaysian officials told relatives of passengers from missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 that there was sealed evidence, which will not be made public. The sealed evidence reportedly includes air traffic control radio transcript, radar data and airport security recordings.
Family members of the missing passengers are becoming increasingly frustrated and impatient with the treatment that they are receiving from investigators. Many are now casting doubt on the initial report that the plane crashed into the Indian Ocean, killing everyone on board. Family members are suggesting that the Malaysian government prematurely announced that the plane had crashed, acting on faulty evidence.
“We demand you retract announcement that MH370 ended in south Indian Ocean and continue search-and-rescue operations,” one relative said at a briefing earlier this week.
The premature announcement of the crash was sent through a text message to relatives, on behalf of the Malaysian government, nearly a week ago. Since then it was discovered that the object they had found in the ocean was not wreckage, but random unidentified “junk”.
Truthdig columnist Chris Hedges discussed “recent conflicting federal court decisions on the legality of NSA spying” in a talk at the Connecticut Civil Liberties Conference at Central Connecticut State University on Saturday.
The all-day event, which included other speakers, was sponsored by the Connecticut Coalition to Stop Indefinite Detention, the American Civil Liberties Union of Connecticut, the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Connecticut, United Action Connecticut and other activists groups.
