Supermassive black hole
The average density of a supermassive black hole can be very low, and may actually be lower than the density of water. This is because the Schwarzschild radius is directly proportional to mass, such that density is inversely proportional to the square of the mass.

Upside Down World - Not For Sale: El Salvador's Movement Against Water Privatization
"Who Wants Privatization?
Since the early 1990’s the international financial institutions (IFIs), like the Interamerican Development Bank (IDB), have encouraged the privatization of water systems throughout Latin America through 'Structural Adjustment' loans. The IFI’s require governments to open water management to private investment as a condition for receiving loan money, which is usually destined toward infrastructure repair or new construction.
The IDB stopped using the word 'privatization' after the Cochabomba, Bolivia disturbances in 2000. In that conflict over water privatization, tens of thousands marched until the local government annulled a water management concession with a subsidiary of the US-based Bechtel corporation. Today, the IDB prefers terms like 'concessions' and 'decentralization,' or 'private sector participation.' But critics say whatever the euphemism, the result is the same privatization.
The US-based consumer watchdog Public Citizen reports that the IDB and World Bank together administer about 133 different water and sewage-related projects, funded to the tune of $9.7 billion. The majority of these projects are in Africa and Latin America, while most of them include some type of 'hydro-sector reform.'"

Some 14,000 Cuban doctors now give free treatment to Venezuela's poor and 3,000 Cuban medical staff worked in the aftermath of last year's Kashmir earthquake. Cuba has plans to heal those poorer than itself.
When Hurricane Katrina ripped through the southern United States in August 2005, the authorities were overwhelmed and the governor of Louisiana, Kathleen Babineaux Blanco, appealed to the international community for emergency medical aid. The Cuban government immediately offered assistance to New Orleans and to the states of Mississippi and Alabama, also affected by the storm, and promised that within 48 hours 1,600 doctors, trained to deal with such catastrophes, would arrive with all the necessary equipment plus 36 tonnes of medical supplies. This offer, and another made directly to President George Bush, went unanswered. In the catastrophe at least 1,800 people, most of them poor, died for lack of aid and treatment."

Net's Vulnerability Exposed
Cyberterrorism...
"October 28, 2002 (Computerworld) -- Last week's assault on the Internet's core addressing system may not have caused much real damage, but it highlights the Internet's vulnerability to more sophisticated cyberattacks in the future, security analysts warned.
All 13 of the Internet's root Domain Name System servers—three of which are located outside the U.S.—were victims of a massive distributed denial-of-service attack on Oct. 21.
'It was the single most elaborate and focused attack on the DNS network that we have ever seen,' said Tom Ohlsson, vice president of Matrix NetSystems Inc., an Austin, Texas-based Internet performance monitoring company.
The attack appears to have been an attempt to disrupt the Internet by clogging root DNS servers with useless traffic. The root DNS servers provide the vital translation services needed for converting a Web name such as www.computerworld.com into a corresponding numerical IP address. "

Reedi Gul is probably dead now. Two weeks ago masked gunmen abducted the 24-year-old on a lonely mountain road in central Afghanistan. The next day his father, Saleh Gul, received a phone call, and realised he was the real target.
'I am an Afghan Muslim Talib,' the voice announced. 'If you want to see your son alive, listen carefully.'
Three weeks earlier Saleh Gul had been appointed governor of an insurgent-infested district in Ghazni province. The Taliban demanded he quit his job, pay a ransom, attack US forces and assassinate local officials.
Mr Gul paid $2,000 and resigned his position, but refused to kill. 'I am not a terrorist,' he barked down the phone. So the Taliban added an impossible demand: the freedom of an imprisoned commander."

En utrikespolitik utan ansvar
"Den nya fråga som då infinner sig är hur EU bestämmer sin utrikespolitik - på detta område och andra - och det korta svaret på den frågan är att det vet vi inte och får heller inget veta. De överläggningar på regeringschefsnivå mellan EU:s medlemsländer där argument formuleras, positioner möts, makt utövas och beslut fattas, äger rum bakom stängda dörrar. Vi vet kort sagt inte vilket lands regeringschef som argumenterat för vad och varför, inte heller vilka påtryckningar som utövats av vem mot vem, inte heller vilken roll USA spelat i sammanhanget och naturligtvis inte heller i vad mån Sveriges regeringschef Göran Persson försökt påverka beslutet - och i så fall hur.

USAID: Transition Initiatives: Venezuela Field Report for April-June 2006
"The antagonistic relationship between the U.S. Government (USG) and the Government of Venezuela (GoV) is a challenge for operations in Venezuela. The primary objective in this environment is to develop projects that bring together supporters of the opposition whose constant public discourse brands anything to do with the U.S. as malevolent and anti-Venezuelan. As an example, part of the official government electoral strategy for the December presidential election calls for government supporters to publicly label those in the opposition as 'bushistas.'
President Chavez continues to rail against the 'Empire' for its 'invasion plans' and 'assassination plots,' all of which the Embassy vigorously denies. Visits by the U.S. Ambassador to the inauguration of new USAID-supported project sites in Caracas and the interior are frequently accompanied by crowds of protestors. The projects, however, are well-received by the community and community leaders - those not prodded by the government -- who often request additional USAID projects in the neglected neighborhoods in Venezuela."

The bottles were tested using a methodology which, three years ago, was examined and endorsed by the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC).
Moreover, the presence of pesticide residues was additionally confirmed with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and all its spectra confirm pesticide residues.
Pesticides are used to kill pests, and contain extremely toxic elements. They get into our food chain and keep bio-accumulating in our body over a long period of time. A host of studies done across the world have pointed to the link between pesticides and diseases such as cancer, neurological disorders, foetal problems etc."

American Economy: "Prof. Niall Ferguson of the Harvard University compares the US economy to a dinosaur whose bulk once shook the ground. Yet, it disappeared from the face because of its inner problems. Like it, “the US economy is mind-bogglingly enormous—two and a half times as big as the next largest economy in the world and almost as large as that of the six other members of the Group of Seven combined. The catch is that it has to consume almost incessantly to sustain its great heft.” This reveals its great weakness and the inherent seed of its likely collapse at some future date."

Offutt, Buffett, and 9/11: Strange Coincidences
By Mary Louise
"The Franklin Cover-up: Child Abuse, Satanism, and Murder in Nebraska' by John W. DeCamp, attorney and former Nebraska senator, is an investigation of satanic sexual abuse, ritual murders, pedophile rings, child pornography and prostitution, kidnapping, and money-laundering. It involves top Washington D.C. politicians, savings and loan executives, and media cover-ups. This book is dedicated to the author's dear friend, Bill Colby, former head of the CIA (before Bush), who died under very mysterious circumstances in 1996.
The Franklin Credit Union scandal centered in Omaha opens a window into the hellish world of child abuse and organized drug trafficking patronized and protected by powerful figures in politics and business. This awful but true story is about the abuse of positions of public trust, the Cover-up by institutions of government, and the abhorrent conduct and Cover-up by some of our wealthiest citizens. The unfinished business of the Franklin investigation is not only a matter involving children from Nebraska, but the lives of untold numbers of children everywhere. "

In the past week nearly 5,000 members of the World Union of Jewish Students (WUJS) have downloaded special “megaphone” software that alerts them to anti-Israeli chatrooms or internet polls to enable them to post contrary viewpoints. A student team in Jerusalem combs the web in a host of different languages to flag the sites so that those who have signed up can influence an opinion survey or the course of a debate.

New Scientist: GM plant has escaped into the wild
"It is the first time a GM (Genetically Modified) plant has escaped into the wild in the US, and it has managed it before securing USDA approval. The plant, creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera, carries a bacterial gene that makes it immune to the potent herbicide glyphosate, better known as Roundup. The manufacturer, The Scotts Company, Marysville, Ohio, is hoping the grass will provide a turf that makes it easier for golf course owners to manage their fairways and greens by letting them kill competing weedy grasses with glyphosate."

The Naion: Fear and Smear
"An evil symbiosis does exist between Muslim terrorists and American politicians, but it is not the one Republicans describe."
The jihadists need George W. Bush to sustain their cause. His bloody crusade in the Middle East bolsters their accusation that America is out to destroy Islam. The president has unwittingly made himself the lead recruiter of willing young martyrs.
The jihadists need George W. Bush to sustain their cause. His bloody crusade in the Middle East bolsters their accusation that America is out to destroy Islam. The president has unwittingly made himself the lead recruiter of willing young martyrs.
More to the point, it is equally true that Bush desperately needs the terrorists. They are his last frail hope for political survival. They divert public attention, at least momentarily, from his disastrous war in Iraq and his shameful abuses of the Constitution. The "news" of terror--whether real or fantasized--reduces American politics to its most primitive impulses, the realm of fear-and-smear where George Bush is at his best.

electronic intifada : Time to Reopen the Palestine File at the UN? Not Yet!
"Most Arabs, Palestinians included, have vied for years to snatch the Palestine question away from U.S.-Israeli clenching claws and return it to where it formally started: the United Nations. From their perspective, so long as the U.S. is allowed to control '99% of the cards,' as the late Egyptian president Anwar Sadat notoriously believed, there is no chance for a just and enduring peace."
Hizbullah accepts UN ceasefire deal
Posted: 12-08-2006 , 15:30 GMT
Nasrallah claimed some aspects of Security Council Resolution 1701 are unjust and Hizbullah has reservations on a few of its articles. These will be presented by Hizbullah ministers during the Lebanese cabinet discussion on the matter, he noted.
Nasrallah stressed that as long as Israel is occupying Lebanese land Hizbullah will keep fighting in accordance with its commitment to the “April Understanding,” a 1996 agreement to end cross-border attacks on civilian targets.

It's time for Jewish dissenters to challenge Israeli policies
"Current U.S.-backed cease-fire proposals are so unfair to Lebanon that the Lebanese government has already indicated it cannot accept the terms, which do not even include a full Israeli withdrawal.
This one-sided U.S. policy is the result of a combination of factors, but it thrives on the myth that all American Jews stand uncritically behind the Israeli government.
Israeli intransigence has made Israel a pariah state, and is the biggest enemy of all the people of the Middle East -- Arabs and Israelis alike"

When did Nasrallah assume a leadership role? Answer: When the Rabin government escalated its crimes in Lebanon, murdering Sheikh Abbas Mussawi and his wife and child with missiles fired from a US helicopter. Nasrallah was chosen as his successor. Only one of innumerable cases. There is, after all, a good reason why last February, 70% of Lebanese called for the capture of Israeli soldiers for prisoner exchange.

"What the Israeli governments do not realize is that neither Hamas nor Hezbollah need Israel. It is Israel that needs them, and needs them desperately. If Israel wants not to become a Crusader state that is in the end extinguished, it is only Hamas and Hezbollah that can guarantee the survival of Israel. It is only when Israel is able to come to terms with them, as the deeply-rooted spokespersons of Palestinian and Arab nationalism, that Israel can live in peace."

Washington’s hostile policy towards the government of Venezuela’s President Hugo Chávez gains increasingly worrying momentum. In a recent document, the Pentagon called the “resurgence of authoritarian and populist movement in some countries like Venezuela [a] source of political and economic instability”. Such a statement is even more worrying, since the US Defence Department hardly ever cites countries in its strategic study (Quarterly Defence Review), published every four years; that department only limits itself to address general tendencies [1].

Bin Laden denies involvment in 9-11 attack on USA
Bin Laden: AUTHENTIC INTERVIEW
"I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States. As a Muslim, I try my best to avoid telling a lie. I had no knowledge of these attacks, nor do I consider the killing of innocent women, children and other humans as an appreciable act. Islam strictly forbids causing harm to innocent women, children and other people. Such a practice is forbidden even in the course of a battle.
Is it not that there exists a government within the government in the United Sates? That secret government must be asked as to who carried out the attacks."2006-01-23

I must have seen five different articles on the Iranian Oil Bourse over the past week or so. I have probably seen a hundred posts over the last year that the war in Iraq was because Hussein was going to price oil in Euros. These articles all make for sensational headlines but it is all nonsense. Perhaps we went to war in Iraq with intention of stealing their oil, but we sure did not go to war over pricing.

Iran’s Oil Exchange threatens the Greenback
America monopolizes the oil trade
The Bush administration will never allow the Iranian government to open an oil exchange (bourse) that trades petroleum in euros. If that were to happen, hundreds of billions of dollars would come flooding back to the United States crushing the greenback and destroying the economy. This is why Bush and Co. are planning to lead the nation to war against Iran. It is straightforward defense of the current global system and the continuing dominance of the reserve currency, the dollar.

The Globe and Mail:
“Right now, the rest of the world owns $3-trillion more of us than we own of them,” Mr. Buffett told business students and faculty Tuesday at the University of Nevada, Reno. “In my view, it will create political turmoil at some point .... Pretty soon, I think there will be a big adjustment,” he said without elaborating.

The Proposed Iranian Oil Bourse
Jan 17, 2006 The Proposed Iranian Oil Bourse, Krassimir Petrov
Economically speaking, in order for an empire to initiate and conduct a war, its benefits must outweigh its military and social costs. Benefits from Iraqi oil fields are hardly worth the long-term, multi-year military cost. Instead, Bush must have went into Iraq to defend his Empire. Indeed, this is the case: two months after the United States invaded Iraq, the Oil for Food Program was terminated, the Iraqi Euro accounts were switched back to dollars, and oil was sold once again only for U.S. dollars.

Copyright
I begynnelsen var ordet. Och det var inte upphovsrättsskyddat. Redan de gamla Grekerna, Romarna, druiderna, Babylonierna ... ni förstår. Alla uppmuntrade till informationsspridning, utom vad gäller rena statshemligheter. Pytagoras patenterade inte sin sats, utan han basunerade ut den från hustaken. Archimedes sprang omkring naken och skrek ut sin lycka när inspirationen svämmade över. De ville bli erkända som upphovsmän, men de hade inga som helst ekonomiska rättigheter till sina verk. Barderna turnerade med sina sånger och när de mötte en annan bard bytte de låtar med varandra - en slags primitiv fildelning. Och alla drog nytta av det. Om Auld Lang Syne hade varit upphovsrättsskyddad när den skrevs så hade miljontals engelsmän stått tysta och fåniga på nyårsafton. Under medeltiden kopierades böcker friskt i rena sweatshopsen, fast alla hade munkjackor.

Kan man verkligen jämställa alla typer av patent? Är läkemedelspatent detsamma som upphovsrätt på exempelvis musik?
– Nu är ju upphovsrätt och patent två olika mekanismer; det ena är monopol på kultur, det andra på kunskap. Just vad det gäller läkemedelsbolagen och deras sätt att agera kring patent med mera, som du tar upp som exempel, så finns det andra som har skrivit hyllmetrar med allmän upprördhet. Det faktum att flera länder gått ut publikt och sagt att de bara tänker strunta i läkemedelföretagens patent är sensationellt nog i den frågan.

Teheran to the United Nations Security Council for pursuing a civilian nuclear energy programme in defiance of Washington's diktats
Teheran to the United Nations Security Council for pursuing a civilian nuclear energy programme in defiance of Washington's diktats
IN THE next few weeks, the Manmohan Singh Government will face its second major test on the Iranian nuclear front. For the United States and its European allies appear determined to refer Teheran to the United Nations Security Council for pursuing a civilian nuclear energy programme in defiance of Washington's diktats. The provocation for the latest western hysteria is Iran's decision to conduct research experiments on uranium conversion and other aspects of the civilian nuclear fuel cycle. These experiments are taking place in facilities that are fully safeguarded by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Moreover, these activities are in no way prohibited under either the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT) or Iran's Safeguards Agreement with the IAEA, published by the Agency as Infcirc 214.
Article 4 of Infcirc 214 states: "The safeguards provided for in this Agreement shall be implemented in a manner designed: (a) To avoid hampering the economic and technological development of Iran or international co-operation in the field of peaceful nuclear activities, including international exchange of nuclear material; (b) To avoid undue interference in Iran's peaceful nuclear activities, and in particular in the operation of facilities; ...

In November 2000, Iraq stopped accepting U.S. dollars for its oil. Counted as a purely political move, Saddam Hussein switched the currency required to purchase Iraqi oil to the euro. Selling oil through the U.N. Oil for Food Program, Iraq converted all of its U.S. dollars in its U.N. account to the euro. Shortly thereafter, Iraq converted $10 billion in its U.N. reserve fund to the euro. By the end of 2000, Iraq had abandoned the U.S. dollar completely.

That gold has a sense of humor is beyond question. We hear it laughing every time Alan Greenspan opens his mouth. You'll recall that Mr. Greenspan was once a close friend of gold. The two were practically bosom buddies. Greenspan wrote that gold was indispensable to an honest money system. Of course, that was before he came to head up the largest and most cocksure central bank in history. Since then, he's hardly had time for his old pal. He has new friends in very high places.
