A pandemic could well bring global, national and regional economies to an abrupt halt in a world that relies on the speed and distribution of so many products. It could also lead many countries to impose useless but highly destructive quarantines that would disrupt trade, travel and production - something that has never happened with AIDS, malaria or tuberculosis. At home, many venues of human contact - schools, movie theaters, transportation hubs and businesses - would have to be shuttered

The shortage of donated eggs and sperm for fertility treatment could be solved after British scientists found they can both be grown from laboratory stem cells.
But some specialists warned the discovery raised serious ethical questions, saying it could mean that a single man could provide both the sperm and egg for fertility treatment, making him genetically father and mother of his child.
They also claimed the technique came close to human cloning, although scientists who conducted the study denied that.

The dwindling population of red squirrels is being threatened by a virus that can kill them within 15 days.
Squirrel pox is being spread by grey squirrels, which are immune to the virus, and it is infecting red squirrels living in Scotland.
Conservationists say the estimated 160,000 population of red squirrels in the UK will almost certainly decline, since it has been noticed the virus was being spread by grey squirrels spreading north from Cumbria. The Moredun Research Institute near Edinburgh discovered the virus after taking blood samples from grey squirrels.

The joy of the American clam season is muted this year, however, as much of the north-east coastline, from Maine down to the tip of Cape Cod, battles with the worst outbreak of the so-called "red tide" seen in more than thirty years. It is an ecological calamity that has forced the closure of most of the region's shellfish beds, both near the shoreline and out to sea by as much as 100 miles. It has already led Massachusetts and Maine to declare states of emergency in hopes of attracting federal aid.

When 17th-century astronomers first dreamed of sending a craft into space they imagined a floating structure with sails. Now, some four centuries later, that image may be about to take shape.
When Cosmos 1 is launched on Tuesday, on an intercontinental ballistic missile fired from a Russian submarine, it will herald a new dawn in space travel. As it reaches orbit, eight triangular sails, each 15 metres long and arranged in a windmill pattern, will unfurl, and the world's first "solar sail" will take place.

In fact, it's the sharks who should be afraid of us. In the last 20 years, the shark has shifted from predator to prey. When China embraced capitalism in the late Eighties and early Nineties, it also embraced conspicuous consumption, and with it came a renewed and widespread taste for an old Chinese delicacy: shark's fin soup. This has led to an explosion in demand for fins, so great that in some parts of the Pacific sharks have been fished out to supply it. Not the least unpleasant aspect of this trade is that, often, when sharks are caught their fins are cut off and the fish are thrown back into the water to die.
...
"Biologically speaking, they're among the most vulnerable animals in the ocean," says Sarah Fowler, a leading British shark expert. "The problem is, they have so few young, so infrequently, and they take so long to reach maturity, that if you take a population and halve it, it can take 270 years to bounce back. We won't see the recovery of some of them in our lifetime."

The reality is that the US war with Iran has already begun. As we speak, American over flights of Iranian soil are taking place, using pilotless drones and other, more sophisticated, capabilities.
The violation of a sovereign nation's airspace is an act of war in and of itself. But the war with Iran has gone far beyond the intelligence-gathering phase.
President Bush has taken advantage of the sweeping powers granted to him in the aftermath of 11 September 2001, to wage a global war against terror and to initiate several covert offensive operations inside Iran.
The most visible of these is the CIA-backed actions recently undertaken by the Mujahadeen el-Khalq, or MEK, an Iranian opposition group, once run by Saddam Hussein's dreaded intelligence services, but now working exclusively for the CIA's Directorate of Operations.

In case you are unfamiliar with Joe Banister, let me tell you about an uncommon man with more character and integrity than any human being I've ever met, read or even heard about outside the Bible itself. Mr. Banister was an IRS agent earning $80,000.00 annually, who actually began to study the Income Tax Code and discovered it did not apply to most American citizens, and that it was being enforced by the IRS and Government of the United States illegally.
Most American men earning $80,000.00 annually, who are married with two children and have a house, cars and all the normal trappings of the American Dream, would ignore such a finding and continue doing what they do. But Banister was actively and successfully investigating people for tax fraud and tax evasion. I'm not familiar with the cases Banister handled, but most IRS agents in Banister's position are the catalyst in bringing people to trial on federal tax charges, imprisoning them and causing them to lose everything they ever worked for in many cases.

"Mr Clinton asked Mr Sharif if he knew how advanced the threat of nuclear war really was? Did Mr Sharif know his military was preparing their nuclear-tipped missiles? Mr Sharif seemed taken aback and said only that India was probably doing the same.
"The president reminded Mr Sharif how close the US and Soviet Union had come to a nuclear conflict in 1962 over Cuba. Did Mr Sharif realize that if even one bomb was dropped . Mr Sharif finished his sentence and said it would be a catastrophe."

When the president of the United States says jump, people jump.
But with President Bush, it seems like more and more often they're jumping in the opposite direction.
Polls show that all of Bush's talk about Social Security has caught the public's attention -- except that the more they hear about his proposals, the less they like them.
Bush's increasing insistence that things are going well in Iraq has been accompanied by a dramatic loss of support for the war.
And the latest backfire would appear to be in Iran, in response to Bush's denunciation last week of Iranian elections as a sham

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Recurring talk China may be diversifying its swelling pot of foreign currency reserves away from U.S. dollars has been fueled by large gaps in U.S. data on Beijing's holdings, but experts warn against jumping the gun.
The whereabouts of China's foreign reserves -- some $659 billion in March -- puzzles analysts.

Believe it or not, David Icke predicted just such a scenario in his 1994 book
"The Robots' Rebellion", before we witnessed the terrible events at
Dunblane.
Supposing someone, somewhere wanted the end 'solution' to be "to ban
guns". Obviously, gun clubs, enthusiasts and legitimate people are going
to complain, perhaps with the backing or at least, indifference, of the
general public. After all "it doesn't affect us does it". You need
to somehow manipulate the public to demand that you offer the solution. You
need a public 'reaction', for which you need to stage a perceived 'problem'.
The more horrific and unbelievable you can make it, the more the public will
demand what you wanted to do in the first place

White House press secretary Scott McClellan did not rule out that Bush would consider a recess appointment if the Senate does not approve Bolton's nomination. He blamed the Democrats for "obstructing progress" by stalling a vote on Bolton.
"We continue to urge the Senate to let him have an up or down vote on the floor," McClellan said Monday. "It's unfortunate that the democratic leadership continues to block his nomination, particularly when he has majority support. It is critical that we get him in place."

[I have no way of knowing if these are real photos or not, but you can look at them and judge for yourself if you like.]
Awhile back, a U.S. citizen working in Iraq sent me several photographs he obtained from a soldier in Iraq. Apparently, they had been passed along between several sources before reaching me. I felt that the pictures were particularly controversial and newsworthy, in that they appear to show U.S. soldiers planting weapons on Iraqi teenagers. As a result, I passed them on to Seymour Hersh of the New Yorker, who mentioned them in an interview on May 11, 2005.
