The people of Myanmar have waited for nine days for their government to indicate the slightest concern for their welfare, but, aside for two UN planes that landed, the military junta has been hesitant to make any concessions to world opinion.

Two Bush administration Cabinet members yesterday acknowledged gaps in the capability of U.S. hospitals to deal with a mass-casualty terrorist attack or other disaster, but they said a congressional effort to block pending Medicaid cuts will not fix the problem. Testifying before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and Health and Human Services Secretary Michael Leavitt said lawmakers could target funds at the shortcomings more directly, such as by financing the stockpiling of hospital beds, ventilator units or medicines, if needed. [ ... ]Leavitt and Chertoff spoke two days after the committee's chairman, Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.), released a survey showing that hospitals in seven major U.S. cities would be

"The US, which pledged $3m (£1.5m) to UN agencies to help with emergency food distribution, has navy ships in the area."From The Guardian 7/5/08Well how fucking generous. That is about 1 US cent per US citizen. Meanwhile, Bush has spent about $11 500 per person on Iraq so far. That is 1 150 000 times more than the former amount.

Shellshocked House Republicans got warnings from leaders past and present Tuesday: Your party’s message isn’t good enough to prevent disaster in November, and neither is the NRCC’s money. The Republican brand has been so badly damaged that if Republicans try to run an anti-Obama or anti-Rev. Wright campaign, they are simply going to fail. read more | digg story

Folks, I'm just going to be honest with you. I should have never posted that. When I first read of the cyclone in Myanmar, I believe the death toll was at 500. It wasn't until news came of the enormous death toll, and when I happened to see the pictures and video from the region, that I decided to just pull it. Why? I'll tell you why, While I am a person of great political convictions and person of obtuse personal opinion, I am also a Christian and I am a person of compassion, and the last thing I want to be, as to be pegged as some sort of heartless tool. So, to those who read this Blog and think that I am some sort of an a-hole. Please know that I am not that sort of a person. Never was, and never will be. Let me state publicly, while I am not a big fan of our money going to places

Hurricane Katrina and others in the season have given us yet another disaster preparedness wake-up call. Do we pay attention now or hit the snooze button again?

The Myanmar military junta has finally appealed to the world for assistance in coping with the cyclone disaster which may have killed upwards of 60,000 people, but four days after the storm little held has reached the victims due to the regime’s regulations and refusal to issue visas in a speedy manner. It is now [...]

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who was in Delhi this week, said after meeting India's leaders that the proposed Iran-Pakistan-India Gas pipeline will soon be given a final shape by the three nations. Then, almost in the same breath, he admitted that there was a clear link between the deal to sell and send by ship 5 million tonnes of LNG to India and India's decision to vote against Iran at the IAEA governing board in November 2005. That seemingly innocuous statement gave a taste of things to come once India gets hooked to and dependent upon Iranian Gas which is to come in a pipeline flowing through Pakistan.Yet, India's Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon echoed the Iranian President's sentiments on the pipeline, saying that it was a good "doable" project which "has the potential t

Resulta que ahora son Fraga (Ministro de Franco... y más viejo ya que Matusalén) y los nacionalistas los que van a acabar gobernando en el PP. El primero, porque parece ser que llamó a Gallardón el 10 de marzo para ofrecerle el puesto de sucesor de Rajoy. Los segundos porque la nueva "estrategia" de Mariano es hacer la pelota a los nacionalistas que tan penoso buen resultado ha dado en Cataluña (como todos sabemos Piqué tuvo muchos más votos que Vidal Cuadras...). Vamos que quieren aliarse o hacer la pelota a unos nacionalistas tan cuerdos como estos que nos cuenta Elentir... que es para considerar si va a ser del riego.Je, luego se soprenderán cuando vean los números y encuentren que han bajado las afiliaciones: no, no sólo que no hay quien se afilie, si no que los que ya lo hic

Data can be restored immediately to either the original server or an alternate server. Restores can also be redirected to an alternate physical location if the original office is no longer available. The server disaster recovery solution lies in having devices and technologies available which allow us to restart the vital information systems in a shorter time period than the estimated critical. These mechanisms, and all the associated plans of actions, are known as data disaster recovery. Why should I have a data back up and recovery system! By not having a data center disaster recovery plan, you are quite simply, putting your business at risk; don't take chance with your vital data. Would you leave any other aspect of your business to chance? Not really. Always be prepared for a natural c

I love the Simpsons. So when few months ago I saw that EA have a game with my favorite cartoon characters I couldn't skip the opportunity to play the game and review it. The hardest thing about it was objectivity - let's face it: every true fan will love the game just for the opportunity to play with Homer and hear his "Doh" a couple of times...So the story is simple - our all favorite idiot will have to stop an explosion at the nuclear powerplant he is working at  and save all the little houses and people in virtual Springfield from total annihilation. The only problem is that Homer has to get to the powerplant first...The audio/visual level of the game is good - you won't see anything spectacular, but the characters are nice and true to the original... I really like the idea of the

So after being since March 9th, without even speaking about the news which have been going on these past days, Rajoy emerges from the shadows and points out to Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría, a young prepared woman, as PP speaker in Congress. But you know, for me this is not a question of being a woman or a man, of being old or young. It's a question of being convinced of what you do and being tough defending it. It's not easy, but nobody is going to defend it for you.This is a job of the utmost responsibility that implies you must have enough experience to cope with it, without doubting or feeling sorry for what you are. What happens? That she is not perceived as tough, only as "prepared" and "very inclined to dialogue", two things that opposition these days should be very cautious to consi

Hero Balakrishna is yet to completely recover from the disaster of his last film 'Okkamogadu'. He had some very high expectations from the film and he trusted director YVS Choudhary blindly. The film turned out to be one of the biggest flops in the entire career of Balakrishna.Balayya is now a much chastened man. He is keeping all big 'fans' of the Nandamuri family at safe distance. He does not want anyone else to take a similar advantage with him by proclaiming their loyalty and adoration to the Nandamuri family. Ravi Kumar Choudary and Samudra are the other hardcore Nandamuri fans among mass directors.So he is now only concentrating on his work for K Raghavendra Rao's 'Pandurangadu'. After that, he will only work with talented and proven directors and not allow himself to be taken for a

Jatropha biofuel production in Sumba, East Nusa Tenggara Jacqueline Vel Inside Indonesia 91: Jan-Mar 2008 Original URL The sign indicates plans for producing biodiesel, but behind it there is only a one hectare demonstration plot in poor condition. (J. Vel) With worldwide attention on global warming and extremely high fossil fuel prices, interest in alternative energy is booming. The European Union has targeted 5.75 per cent of the market share for fossil fuel mixed with biofuel by 2010. While waiting for more sophisticated techniques to be developed, biofuel is now produced on vast areas of land, both in Western countries and increasingly in developing countries. Indonesia is one of the relatively new biofuel-producing countries. The national government aims to increase th

Earlier this week, a student in my class pointed us to this story, describing a security vulnerability in Myspace that allowed private pictures to be viewed by anyone.

Wired's Kevin Poulsen writes:A 17-gigabyte file purporting to contain more than half a million images lifted from private MySpace profiles has shown up on BitTorrent, potentially making it the biggest privacy breach yet on the top social networking site....By then, DMaul, a denizen of the online forum TribalWar.com who declined to reveal his name, used an automated script to run nearly 44,000 MySpace user profiles through one of the ad-supported sites, MySpacePri

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton previously refrained from inserting herself into the firestorm surrounding the recently revealed hate doctrine favored by rival candidate Sen. Barack Obama's home church in Chicago. On Tuesday she told reporters from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that "He would not have been my pastor.

However the timing of her response appears to be a move to deflect attention from her own controversy. Hillary was recently caught

Derivatives the new 'ticking bomb'Buffett and Gross warn: $516 trillion bubble is a disaster waiting to happen.ARROYO GRANDE, Calif. (MarketWatch) -- "Charlie and I believe Berkshire should be a fortress of financial strength" wrote Warren Buffett. That was five years before the subprime-credit meltdown."We try to be alert to any sort of mega-catastrophe risk, and that posture may make us unduly appreciative about the burgeoning quantities of long-term derivatives contracts and the massive amount of uncollateralized receivables that are growing alongside. In our view, however, derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction, carrying dangers that, while now latent, are potentially lethal." That warning was in Buffett's 2002 letter to Berkshire shareholders. He saw a future that many

Cleverly masquerading as a measure to promote religious freedom in the schools, House Bill 2211 is currently making its way through the Oklahoma legislature. This is one that should be watched by all who value education over indoctrination. Like many similar bills in other states (some actually passed), HB 2211 was written by Christian extremists and requires public schools to allow students to express their religious beliefs in class and in their homework without penalty. The implications of such a policy would be disastrous to the quality of education students receive.According to a great op-ed in the Edmond Sun,If a student’s religious beliefs were in conflict with scientific theory, and the student chose to express those beliefs rather than explain the theory in response to an exam q

My friend Sharon called recently to ask for my email address. Her hard drive crashed and she was in the process of rebuilding a new drive--application by application and, it would seem, one email address at a time. Everything on her old drive was gone, including the photos from her recent vacation. Unfortunately, the backups she had been doing so religiously every night contained nothing. No one really expects a disk crash but drive failures do happen-and often at the most inconvenient times. In addition to the possible loss of important data files, a disk crash can leave you with the daunting task of having to replace the dead drive and reinstall your operating system and all of your applications. While you're doing this-assuming you know how to do this, your computer remains nonfunctiona
