10 Years

Mitt Romney made a boatload of money for himself and his fellow fat cats. No doubt about it. Billions. But he made it the way Americans hate most -- Wall Street style wheeling and dealing.Americans hate it because when all that scheming went bad, when the market collapsed, it was the 99 percent who footed the bill to bailout Wall Street. The same is true of Romney and Bain. When Bain bankrupted the companies it bought -- and Bain did that shockingly often -- workers and Main Street businesses paid the price.Romney contends his money making as CEO of Bain qualifies him to be President of the United States. That's true if Americans believe money should flow out of their pockets, out of the cash registers of Main Street shops and into the Swiss bank accounts of Romney and his 1 percenter cronies.Here are some of Romney's victims, Main Street businesses owed money by just one bankrupted Bain company, American Pad and Paper Co. (Ampad): Technical Coatings Laboratory, owed $125,191.20 and paid in bankruptcy $237.03; Services Plus Inc., owed $12,064.71, paid $22.84; Crown Vantage, owed $32,155.26, paid $60.89.In the 15 years Romney ran Bain from 1984 to 1999, 22 percent of the companies it invested in went bankrupt or closed within eight years, according to a study by the Wall Street Journal.In fact, according to the Wall Street Journal, the bulk -- 70 percent -- of the $2.5 billion Bain made for investors during that time came from just 10 deals. Four of those ended up in bankruptcy as well -- killing jobs and jilting Main Street businesses. Despite that, Romney and the Bain investors fattened their Swiss bank accounts.More Main Street victims: Lakeway Container Inc., owed $47,143.56 by Ampad, paid $89.26 in bankruptcy; Olympic Adhesives, owed $6,566, paid $12.43; American Chain and Gear, owed $505.54, paid 96 cents. Bain's handling of Ampad illustrates how the rich extract money from these deals and leave behind wounded workers and Main Street shops. Bain

by Justin Elliott ProPublica, May 29, 2012, 10:32 a.m.After years of consideration, the Federal Communications Commission finally voted last month to require broadcasters to post online political ad data currently kept only on paper at the stations. Yet it's unclear when the data 2014 which will provide a detailed picture of campaign and super PAC ad spending 2014 will actually begin to be posted.The National Association of Broadcasters sued to stop the rule last week, asking a federal appeals court in Washington to declare the measure unlawful. But even if the lawsuit fails, the earliest broadcasters will have to begin submitting data to a new FCC website is July, three months after the FCC's vote. And it could be delayed until later in the summer, into the fall, or beyond.The reason for the slow rollout? A law called the Paperwork Reduction Act.In effect, the delay in implementation means information on who is buying political ads, where, and for how much, will remain trapped in filing cabinets at TV stations through several crucial months of the presidential campaign (not to mention state and local campaigns).While presidential campaigns traditionally take off after Labor Day, this year campaigns and their supporters are already spending big. This month the Obama campaign and the anti-Obama Crossroads GPS each announced $25-million ad buys.As ProPublica reported, the FCC approved the rule April 27 in the face of intense opposition from the broadcast industry. The commission promised to create a website on which the affiliates of four major networks in the top 50 markets in the country would begin posting detailed information about political ad purchases. All stations will have to come into compliance with the rule in July 2014.Here's how the process works from here on out.When the FCC approved the rule in April, it dictated that the measure would go into effect 30 days after approval by the Office of Management and Budget. OMB's role is to d

PITTSBURGH Imagine a tiny snake robot crawling through your body, helping a surgeon identify diseases and perform operations.It's not science fiction. Scientists and doctors are using the creeping metallic tools to perform surgery on hearts, prostate cancer, and other diseased organs. The snakebots carry tiny cameras, scissors and forceps, and even more advanced sensors are in the works. For now, they're powered by tethers that humans control. But experts say the day is coming when some robots will roam the body on their own.'It won't be very long before we have robots that are nanobots, meaning they will actually be inside the body without tethers,' said Dr. Michael Argenziano, the Chief of Adult Cardiac Surgery at New York-Presbyterian Hospital and Columbia University Medical Center in New York.Argenziano was involved with some of the first U.S. Food and Drug Administration clinical trials on robotic heart surgery more than 10 years ago. Now he says snake robots have become a commonly used tool that gives surgeons a whole new perspective.'It's like the ability to have little hands inside the patients, as if the surgeon had been shrunken, and was working on the heart valve,' he said.But Argenziano and experts in robotics say the new creations work best when they're designed for very specific tasks. 'The robot is a tool. It is no different in that sense than a scalpel. It's really a master-slave device,' he said.Howie Choset has been researching and building robots, particularly snake robots, at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University for years.Choset believes that his snake robot and others like it help reduce medical costs by making complex surgeries faster and easier. Choset says his new design is smaller and more flexible than earlier models: The diameter of the head is less than the size of a dime.The size of surgical robots allows surgeons to operate with far less damage to the body, helping th

COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- Two Danish brothers originally from Somalia have been arrested on suspicion of plotting a terror attack, Denmark's security service said Tuesday.The men, aged 18 and 23, were suspected of 'being in the process of preparing an act of terror' after being overheard talking about methods, targets and different weapon types, the Danish Security and Intelligence Service said.The agency, known by its Danish acronym PET, said the brothers were arrested late Monday one in the western city of Aarhus and the other as he arrived by plane at Copenhagen's international airport.The suspects are 'Danish citizens of Somali origin' who have lived in Denmark for 16 years, the agency said.One of the men had been at a training camp in Somalia run by the Islamist militant group al-Shabab, which has links to al-Qaida, PET said.The men were charged with receiving training with the aim of committing an act of terror, in what the agency said are the first known terror-trained suspects in Denmark.'According to PET's assessment, the arrests have prevented a concrete act of terror and the arrests therefore don't lead to a changed evaluation of the terror threat in Denmark,' the agency said, adding that the terror threat level in Denmark remains 'serious.'PET's former operative chief Hans Joergen Bonnichsen said previous suspects had been 'kitchen-table terrorists' with no experience or training.The Scandinavian country has been in the crosshairs of Islamist terror groups after the publication of newspaper cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad in 2005.'To me there is no doubt that the latest arrests are rooted in the Muhammad cartoons,' Bonnichsen said.A Somali man living in Denmark was convicted of terrorism and sentenced to 10 years in prison after breaking into the home of one of the cartoonists with an ax in 2010.Last year, a Chechen-born man was sentenced to 12 years in prison for
