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.

Israel's Plan For A Military Strike On Iran
"It does not clarify that Israel's own large nuclear arsenal was secretly developed and is entirely unmonitored by the International Atomic Energy Agency, or that it is perceived as a threat by its neighbours and may be fuelling a Middle East arms race."

Liza Marklund: Nya m förvillande likt gamla
"Det enda svar jag kan komma på är att Reinfeldt i hemlighet tycker precis som Cecilia Stegö Chilò: Att alla bidrag till konst, teater, museer och litteratur borde avskaffas. Att SVT skulle må bäst av att läggas ner och Sveriges radio av att säljas ut."

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.'"

"Den folkliga litteraturens fanbärare är ofta hycklande falska och överpösigt jättetrötta.
De svingar sina falska spön i arbetarklassens namn.
De borde avgå.
Men de bevakar sitt territorium med en gränspolis noggrannhet.
De låtsas indignerade och anfaller lite halvmätt från vänster."

Havana’s medics work around the world: Cuba exports health

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."

"E3 2006: Build Update -- World in Flames
We gleefully blow up an oil platform off the Venezuelan coast.
by Jeff Haynes
May 11, 2006 - We made a stop by the Pandemic booth to check up on any updated changes to Mercenaries 2: World in Flames and the improvements were rather dramatic. For one, the entire demo that we saw just a few weeks ago had been completely ripped apart and rebuilt, which we were told was possible thanks to the component system of the engine."

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. "

Key Internet service providers, including Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited, India's largest ISP with more than 800,000 subscribers, have blocked access to a web site, www.hinduunity.org
The web site is run by a Hindu activist from the US, Rohit Vyasmaan, and logs about 17,000 hits a day.
The site has been blocked on the basis of a request from the Mumbai police commissioner's office in a letter sent out to ISPs on April 28.
Sources at the Mumbai police commissioner's office said the directive was issued because the web site published inflammatory material against Islam. Joint Commissioner of Police (crime) Dr Satyapal Singh, a decorated officer of the Indian Police Service, authorised the note."
