When we view photographs of war-torn bodies, piled-up corpses, or starving children, are we changed?
During the course of the genocidal conflict in Darfur, the number of children who have been killed, raped, wounded, displaced, traumatized, or endured the loss of parents and families is well over 1 million. Most of these children have suffered multiple forms of violence, loss, and deprivation.
If one bothers to listen, he will quickly find that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran is once again warning us of his plan for destruction.Granted, the man is a total looney tune. Yet this total looney tune is making his very serious intentions clear-over and over again. He is hell bent on destroying Israel and a "peace accord" is the last thing on his mind.Ahmadinejad said Tuesday that Israe
“Power Of Destruction” is an amusing first-person shoot’em up, that reminds the style of old games like “Operation Wolf”, but is developed with a brand-new 3D technology full of special effects.Power of Destruction takes a different look at WWII; in this alternate universe, Hitler has won the war and you play as a german soldier who rises against the Nazis.More Info:

Jardine received a nine months prison sentence and ordered him to pay £3,300 compensation to the victim. Jardine, of Southowram, Halifax, was also ordered to pay £750 legal costs.The jury at Bradford Crown Court heard that Jardine ransacked all the rooms at the flat.

Petro-militarism is dialectic between the forces of destruction (mass weapons) and the petro-forces of production (the politics of oil) in the context of a potential clash of civilizations. The 1979 Iranian revolution introduced the history of petro-militarism.

Oil is currently well over $100/barrel. Demand is effectively holding steady in the US despite this recent run-up in price. There are some measures that suggest a decrease in demand, and the press has seized upon these to “prove” that high oil prices are causing people to drive less. I think this is cherry-picking of statistics: one commonly watched demand indicator, the one-week domestic gasoline demand figure as published by the Energy Information Agency in This Week in Petroleum actually shows a 91,000 barrel per day increase in gasoline demand for the week ending April 11, 2008 over the week ending April 13, 2007 (9.338 mbpd in ’08 vs. 9.247 mbpd in ’07). That’s a 0.98% increase year on year—so where’s the demand destruction?? This flies flat in the face of rep

by Whisperwolf ( source ) Bremer's 100 orders destroyed Iraq's economy not just for years but for decades to come. It undid some historical things dating back ten thousand years. I wish that was an exaggeration, but it's not. Iraq is home to the oldest agricultural traditions in the world. Historical, genetic and archaeological evidence, including radiocarbon dating of carbon-containing materials at the site, show that the Fertile Crescent, including modern Iraq, was the center of domestication for a remarkable array of today's primary agricultural crops and livestock animals. Wheat, barley, rye, lentils, sheep, goats, and pigs were all originally brought under human control around 8000 BCE. Iraq is where wild wheat was once originated and many of its cereal vari

AFP - 8 April 2008 Original URL JAKARTA (AFP) — Indonesia is failing to halt the destruction of its peatland forests despite promising to do so during last year's climate change conference in Bali, pressure group Greenpeace said Monday. Greenpeace said its workers had witnessed two palm oil companies illegally clearing government-owned land on Sumatra island in March. "Last month, a Greenpeace team revisited an area of Sumatra's Riau province where it had monitored palm oil expansion in 2007, to find that further large tracts of peatland forest had been destroyed inside (areas) which had not been granted permits," the group said. Indonesia has one of the highest rates of deforestation in the world, driven by voracious demand for commodities and weak law enforcement. La

Think again.Imagine that the long-simmering conflict between India and Pakistan broke out into a war in which each side deployed 50 nuclear weapons against the other country's megacities. Karachi, Bombay, and dozens of other South Asian cities catch fire like Hiroshima and Nagasaki did at the end of World War II.Beyond the local human tragedy of such a situation, a new study looking at the atmospheric chemistry of regional nuclear war finds that the hot smoke from burning cities would tear holes in the ozone layer of the Earth.

Ratchet & Clank: Future Tools of Destruction is the most recent iteration of the very successful franchise which has spawned sequel after sequel. It is a very good game that shows off the advances of moving from the PS2 to PS3. Insomniac Games is definitely one of the best developers Sony has , but R & C: FToD is just too much of the same. I couldn't help thinking that I had played this game before...3 times before. Gameplay: 8.5/10Pros: The game offers solid platforming, some new gadgets, nice uses of the SIXAXIS and the same great gameplay features in previous iterations.Cons: Not enough innovation or enhancements since the last game. Clank's new Zoni gameplay is not up to snuff (granted Clank's missions have always been weaker)Graphics: 9/10Pros: Ratchet and Clank certainly loo

Now that developers have started to be excepted into Apple's iPhone Dev program, many of those who weren't will most likely be looking for a leaked copy of the 1.2 beta version of the iPhone firmware. To counteract this, Apple has put some limitations in place to stop this from happening.Apple's SDK documentation warns:“Once you install the pre-release iPhone OS on your device, such device may only be used for development and testing purposes until the final (GM) version of the iPhone OS is released. In addition, you will need to install new versions of the software from time to time throughout the beta period. Failure to install the most current version will, after a period of time, put your device in a deactivated state.”It's also been found that the beta fimrware updates the device'

Personally, I believe that only PAS should be given the initiative and responsibility of tweaking NEP to make it work for everybody.As for your prediction of the destruction of UMNO and Malay secularism; InsyAllah… Islam will be victorious in the end and Justice will prevail for everybody regardless of religion, race and color.Hudhaifah bin Al-Yaman, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:People used to ask the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upo

Let's talk about oil.Provided that there continues to be enough to talk about, this may become a regular Wednesday feature. And with oil hitting $110/barrel today, there should be a lot to talk about.Just one quick point of discussion for today: gas prices.I paid $3.09 this morning (Denver area). How much does $110/barrel work out to? Well, there are 42 gallons in a barrel. It can't all be refined into gasoline, but that's still a good divisor because the other products produced in addition to gasoline have value as well, roughly the same as gasoline when taken as a whole. So $110/42 is $2.62/gallon. Add in roughly $1 for refining margin, distribution, retail markup, and you get gas at $3.62/gallon. Using the same math, oil at $200/barrel works out to $5.76/gallon, and oil at $300

The episode title says it all; the opening was a tear-jerky as Kinue – Saji’s sister died from previous attack. And then the battle between Gundam commence. The HRL are now up against Celestial Being, during the fight, the Celestial Being’s system suddenly went offline because of Livonze’s intrusion via Veda’s system. The four Gundam Meisters were outnumbered by their enemy and just in time Sumeragi was able to shift with their reserve system. Though they regained backup from the system, Tieria remained shocked and noted that Veda has really abandoned the Celestial Being. While one of the flag Gundams was about to attack Virtue, Lockon protected Tieria and sacrificed himself. Triggered by far anger, Setsuna along with Lockon and Allelujah were able to make their enemy rise a whit

U.S. Pursues Security Initiative With Bahamas:
By Macushla N. Pinder -
nassau, Bahamas:
If all goes as planned, there could be an initiative in place that would give Americans the authority to search Bahamian-registered vessels suspected of carrying weapons of mass destruction.
According to U.S. Ambassador to The Bahamas Ned Siegel, the government is in the process of finalizing a Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI).
"We all know and read that keeping commercial air travelers safe is a high priority and we will continue to work with the security at the airports and seaports to make sure that the Bahamian authorities that are working those transit points are strengthened," he said.
"This initiative gives us the ability - with protocol - to board Bahamian registered ships around the world [where there is] information or intelligence [to suggest] that there may be weapons of mass destruction or materials to prevent them from even getting to port."

By: jm "Live fast die young leave a good looking corpse"-Christina Slater in the True Romance movieRock Stars...we are fascinated by them as much as we idolize Hollywood celebrities. We listen to their music, buy the CDs, hang their posters on every wall of our room, watch them at MTV, and go to their concerts. We idolized them so much that we often see them as demi-gods. But beneath all that fame and fortune that the world of rock and roll had given them, many of these rock stars are on the path to self-destruction.Often, being a rock star would also mean that they are associated with substance abuse and drug overdose such as the case of Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, among others. It is a merry-go-round of money, adulation, traveling, and being in the media. Like other human beings, these demi-gods of rock music are also susceptible to pain and depression.

The year is 2029 and the Global Corporate Wars have begun! “Warmonger” is set against an apocalyptic setting, when two of the largest military spenders, PolyChem Oil and General Energy, clashed in a dispute over a large cache of Iranian oil fields. When the conflict escalated, an all-out war took shape on US soil. The game is staged for players to take down an entire city; one block at a time. As maps are won, a larger tactical influence is then triggered in the next, or surrounding, map(s). Each map instance will play differently as the sheer destruction of map elements forces players to adapt and find new ways to win or defend their objectives. Every round leads you closer to dominating the web of maps that make up the entire city and players have the ability to raise their ranking in a class, gaining extra abilities for high performance. “Operation: Downtown Destruction” is part of a longer series involving distinct periods from the episodic “Warmong
Yes, Shea Stadium is a complete dump and the quicker that hell hole is demolished, the better off the players, fans and franchise will be. But if you are a lifelong Mets fan, it is near impossible to let the great -- and not-so-great -- memories die without taking at least one trip down ol' memory lane. For a lot of you, Shea Stadium may have been the very first ballpark you ever attended...and for sports fans that is as impactful as losing your virginity. Hell, some of you may have even literally lost your virginity at Shea. I know the place sure as hell smells like it.At any rate, the new Citi Field will most certainly be welcomed with open arms. But until there are some noteworthy sensations attached to the new home, Shea will forever be the one you always love. One longtime fan cited the recently torn down Shea Stadium subway platform as the beginning of the end to her beloved getaway.I can't count how many times over the years I've traveled to Shea via the 7 train, and have a

An eye-opening look at the state of our financial health today.Impending Destruction of the US Economyby Dr. Paul Craig RobertsHubris and arrogance are too ensconced in Washington for policymakers to be aware of the economic policy trap in which they have placed the US economy. If the subprime mortgage meltdown is half as bad as predicted, low US interest rates will be required in order to contain the crisis. But if the dollar’s plight is half as bad as predicted, high US interest rates will be required if foreigners are to continue to hold dollars and to finance US budget and trade deficits. Which will Washington sacrifice, the domestic financial system and over-extended homeowners or its ability to finance deficits? The answer seems obvious. Everything will be sacrificed in order to protect Washington’s ability to borrow abroad. Without the ability to borrow abroad, Washington cannot conduct its wars of aggression, and Americans cannot continue to consume $800 billion dollar
They charge that liberals and the left are flip-floppers who change their views on an issue based on what's popular.

Are we supposed to be shocked? He insists they're still dangerous and still wants nukes, but his insinuations are just plain assumptions at this point. It is dangerous and counterproductive to make allegations based on assumptions. It destroys our credibility as a nation, not that we have any credibility anymore. We were wrong on Iraq, we were wrong on Iran. We are 0 and 2 in that region as of now.Only six weeks ago, this President was invoking World War III, all the while his administration, and perhaps even the President himself. knew there was no immediate risk from that country. Europe, Russia and China aren't excited at all about pressuring an importa
By: Roshawn WatsonIn today's Uncommon Money News post, one of the articles, entitled "Impending Destruction of the U.S. Economy," detailed the fragile state of the U.S. economy. The author cited several statistics including how a few years ago the euro was worth 85 cents (US), but today it is worth $1.48. My opinion is that with the rest of the world economies continuing to inflate (meaning their prices continue to increase) and a war that costs $500K a minute, it is possible (not certain) that we are headed for a recession.Believe it or not, the problem isn't too little money but too many dollars. The world is choking on too many U.S. dollars. Due to the subprime meltdown, we can't simply raise interest rates to correct the problem, as it would wreak havoc on overextended mortgage holders

The year is 2029 and the Global Corporate Wars have begun! “Warmonger” is set against an apocalyptic setting, when two of the largest military spenders, PolyChem Oil and General Energy, clashed in a dispute over a large cache of Iranian oil fields. When the conflict escalated, an all-out war took shape on US soil. The game is staged for players to take down an entire city; one block at a time. As maps are won, a larger tactical influence is then triggered in the next, or surrounding, map(s). Each map instance will play differently as the sheer destruction of map elements forces players to adapt and find new ways to win or defend their objectives. Every round leads you closer to dominating the web of maps that make up the entire city and players have the ability to raise their ranking in a class, gaining extra abilities for high performance. “Operation: Downtown Destruction” is part of a longer series involving distinct periods from the episodic “Warmong
Get ready for a galactic adventure filled with explosive mayhem as the Ratchet & Clank series makes its PlayStation 3 debut. Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction marks the beginning of a brand-new series of next-generation games for our gadget-building hero, Ratchet, and his brainy robotic sidekick, Clank.
After saving countless planets from dreadful doom and earning intergalactic mega-celebrity status in the process, Ratchet and Clank have taken some well-deserved R&R. Yet, Ratchet remains restless. An orphan of the universe, he has never known anything of his past, his family, or his Lombax origins. And no one, not even Clank, can fill that void. Unfortunately for Ratchet, someone else is equally interested in Ratchet’s origins: Emperor Percival Tachyon. In his thirst for revenge, the vile tyrant of an ancient race of foul insect-like monsters called Cragmites has festered an age-old grudge and is bent on wiping the last-known Lombax off the universe!

The following is a great snapshot of the economy today.Impending Destruction of the US Economyby Dr. Paul Craig RobertsHubris and arrogance are too ensconced in Washington for policymakers to be aware of the economic policy trap in which they have placed the US economy. If the subprime mortgage meltdown is half as bad as predicted, low US interest rates will be required in order to contain the crisis. But if the dollar’s plight is half as bad as predicted, high US interest rates will be required if foreigners are to continue to hold dollars and to finance US budget and trade deficits.Which will Washington sacrifice, the domestic financial system and over-extended homeowners or its ability to finance deficits?The answer seems obvious. Everything will be sacrificed in order to protect Washington’s ability to borrow abroad. Without the ability to borrow abroad, Washington cannot conduct its wars of aggression, and Americans cannot continue to consume $800 billion dollars more eac
Thousands Of radical Islamists in Istanbul call for Jihad and the destruction Of Israel over the weekend. This from a country that is trying to get into the E.U. (European Union)The International Quds (Jerusalem) Meeting convened in Istanbul Saturday and called for armed struggle until Jerusalem is ‘liberated.’ Representatives of all Islamic countries, as well as organizations such as Hamas, Hizbullah, Islamic Jihad and Jamaat-i Islamia are attending the giant meeting. Speeches of condemnation of Israel and determination to continue the armed struggle until Israel is eliminated were interrupted by loud calls of “Allah-u Akbar.” (God is great!) Turkey is a country that is 90% Muslim and 90% in Asia, not Europe, so why are member countries even toying with the idea of letting them in to the European Union?It would make a lot more sense to integrate Russia into the E.U. and NATO. This might curb some of their more bellicose actions and smooth relations by converting an adversary i
Whilst their first LP, ‘Songs for my Funeral’, was full of hip hop and beat influences, the second, ‘The Garden’, revealed Nostalgia 77’s mastermind (Ben Lamdin) serious intentions as a jazz musician, composer and arranger. ‘Weapons of Jazz Destruction’ takes things further in this direction. Where ‘The Garden’ featured a willfully rough and ready recording style with nods to afrofunk and soul including the attention grabbing cover of “Seven Nation Army” with Alice Russell, this latest album is a much smoother and more polished production and sits firmly in the jazz arena. The Fender Rhodes has been replaced throughout by piano giving the whole record a more classic sound and, as always, the horn arrangements are outstanding. The overall feeling is melancholic, bringing in Ethiopian modal jazz influences into tracks like “Musical Silt”, and Spanish melodies in the opening track “Chola”. This uniqu
At the moment the situation in Lebanon is similar to the MAD ear of the cold war. Both parties have the means to wreak havoc and usher chaos. So both parties are waiting for each other to make the first step. In other words it is a status-quo, albeit a very dangerous one. The 14th March coalition will not elect a president with an absolute majority, while Hezbollah and Aoun will not form a second government. Meanwhile, the current arrangement will continue. PM Siniora will keep his job and his government will rule the country in a low profile fashion. President Lahoud will go home and will not form a parallel government. But remember that is the best case scenario.On the other hand, i would like to salute PM Siniora and the 14th of March. After all the assassination, threats and bullying
JAKARTA (AP): Environmental activists are blockading a shipment of palm oil from Indonesia to protest the destruction of rain forests that they say goes hand in hand with the planting of the crop. With a banner reading "Palm Oil Kills Forests and Climate," Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior was anchored next to an India-bound palm oil tanker at Dumai port on Sumatra island, the group said in a statement Friday.Activists maintain the crop is planted on forest land cleared by fires that unleash millions of tons of carbon dioxide - a greenhouse gas. They say this defeats the purpose of developing palm-based biodiesel fuel as a renewable source of energy that does not contribute to greenhouse gases."The logging, draining and burning of Indonesia's peat land forests releases a massive amount of store

Some of the UK's best known brands are linked to the destruction of Indonesia's peat swamp forests, environmental campaigners have claimed. Greenpeace has accused firms such as Nestlé and Procter & Gamble, the companies behind products such as Kit Kat and Pringles of using palm oil in their products which may have been grown on former peatland.A report released by the organisation on Thursday, entitled Cooking the Climate, said peatland swamp forests are being drained, dried out and set on fire to make way for palm oil crops, producing 4% of the world's greenhouse gases.The campaigners have called on world leaders to negotiate a funding mechanism to protect the world's remaining tropical forests when they meet in Bali next month to negotiate a post-Kyoto agreement.John Sauven, executive director of Greenpeace UK, said: "As this investigation shows, a handful of international corporations are ultimately responsible for slashing and burning Indonesia's peatland forests for p

Whilst massaging devices are ten a penny we could not pass up on offering a heads up concerning this particularly space-age looking device, if only because, from a design perspective alone, it looks positively startling with its four illuminated nodes and sumptuously curvaceous form.
The Rechargeable Mini Massager offers four nodes (feet) which illuminate when the device is powered-up (the term ‘powered-up’ seems wholly more fitting than using ‘switched on’) and has been designed to fit snugly in your hand whilst offering what the website refers to as ‘surprisingly powerful vibrations’ (steady on) to ease muscle tension in your neck, shoulders, legs and back.
The device is powered by an on-board rechargeable battery so offers convenient cordless use with a base unit serving to top up the juice whenever the device is stowed.
Frankly we couldn’t really care whether this is a massager or not, we just want one of these gadgets to display in TFTS Towers alongside our Robosapi
In the midst of all the evacuations and all the people that lost homes, I watched the news wondering if anyone we knew would be affected by the devastation. I sent many prayers out for everyone I could think of. We knew several people that were evacuated and I was hoping for the best each and every time we heard someone was evacuated.
On Thursday, my college sorority sister sent the following pictures of her parents home in Rancho Bernardo. This was the beautiful home her family lived in, where she grew up, and where her own children spend so much time with her parents. I had been to this house on a number of occasions with her when we were in college. Please think of them in this difficult time. My heart is breaking for them. I cannot imagine how painful this has been for them.

The amount of native prairie destroyed in the Prairie Pothole Region has skyrocketed by at least 40 percent in the last year. Ducks Unlimited (DU) officals says this increase validates concerns that duck populations and the viability of ranching operations are threatened.
New statistics from the United States Department of Agriculture show the amount of grassland being converted to cropland in North Dakota and Montana is 6,000 acres higher this year than it was in 2006 according to DU officials. Landowners in the two states plowed up 30,000 acres of native prairie in 2007. More than 20,000 of those acres were in the Prairie Pothole Region.Loss figures this high for these two states are not a good sign when we haven’t yet seen South Dakota’s data,” said Scott Stephens, DU

Don’t you understand, what I’m trying to say?
Can’t you see the fear that I’m feeling today?
If the button is pushed, there’s no running away,
There’ll be noone to save with the world in a grave,
take a look around you, boy, it’s bound to scare you, boy,
but you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction.

Do you get the sense that our real estate market is on the eve of destruction? Prices on the leading edge of the decline are already 20% off peak, credit is tightening and will continue to do so, the inventory is mounting, and the number of foreclosures keeps rising (We are behind San Diego, but on the same path.) There are no signs of any of these trends reversing.
What is really scary about the foreclosure trend is the fact that it does not include any of the homeowners represented in the chart above (remember
Indonesia must stop the destruction of its rainforests and commit to a moratorium on conversion of peat swamp forests into farmland, Greenpeace said on Tuesday.Indonesia had the fastest pace of deforestation in the world between 2000-2005, destroying an area of forest the size of 300 soccer pitches every hour, according to the environment group. The Greenpeace appeal came ahead of a UN climate change summit in December, where participants from 189 countries are expected to gather in Bali to discuss a new deal to fight global warming. The existing pact, the Kyoto Protocol, runs out in 2012.

Environmental activists Greenpeace said Tuesday they have sent dozens of activists to Sumatra to collect evidence of the continued destruction of Indonesia's fast-dwindling forests."We set up a forest defenders camp prior to a climate change conference in Bali (in) December to bring the global attention to the problem of forest destruction and deforestation in Indonesia," Greenpeace forest campaigner Sue Connor told reporters here.Indonesia has been criticised for its failure to stem widespread illegal logging, which Greenpeace says has been responsible for the destruction of around two million hectares of forest per year between 2000 and 2005.Indonesia News Blog: http://indosnesos.blogspot.com
I spotted a huge Ganesha idol being taken out from Hussain Sagar lake in Hyderabad last Sunday. Apparently it was immersed in the lake after Ganesha Chaturthy festival and what you see below is aftermath of the festival. The idol was really huge, made from plaster of paris with steel reinforcement. The idol which was worshipped by hundreds of people for 7 odd days was being brutally destroyed by works who wanted to gain some scrap value out of it and clean the mess.At first, what came to my mind was why can’t we reuse this component (Ganesha idol)? (IT influence you see!) I.e. why are we creating this idol every year, dispose them off few days later and re create from scratch again next year? After the festival why cant we preserve the idol and use it again next year? Will the annual maintenance expense (of preserving this idol for one year) be more expensive than new idol? I’m not sure. But on second thought, I realized that such a practice (of reusing the idol) would defeat the v
Apple's (APPL) quest to keep total control over its iPhone seems to have caused it to break the law.
Ever heard of the Magnuson-Moss Federal Warranty Act? It would seem those at Apple's HQ have not either but when they put out an iPhone update this week that disabled hacked iPhones, they broke this law.
The site Phone News.com details how Apple did do. The act says that Apple cannot void a warranty for a product with third-party enhancements or modifications to their product. The only...
