The US military is drawing up plans for a "surgical strike" against an insurgent training camp inside Iran if Republican Guards continue with attempts to destabilise Iraq, western intelligence sources said last week. One source said the Americans were growing increasingly angry at the involvement of the Guards' special-operations Quds force inside Iraq, training Shi'ite militias and smuggling weapons into the country. Despite a belligerent stance by Vice-President Dick Cheney, the administration has put plans for an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities on the back burner since Robert Gates replaced Donald Rumsfeld as defence secretary in 2006, the sources said. However, US commanders are increasingly concerned by Iranian interference in Iraq and are determined that recent succes

Yes, my friends, THIS is who I am voting for, in November. ---------------------------- Taken from NewsWithViews.Com: IF I WERE PRESIDENT By Pastor Chuck Baldwin May 2, 2008 Due to my frequent criticisms of President George W. Bush, I am often asked what I would do if I were President of these United States. This column will serve as an attempt to answer that question. If I were President, I would begin the process of safely extracting our troops from Iraq. In the first place, our troops are no longer fighting a war, they are an occupation force, which occupies a sovereign country. And this is being done without a Declaration of War. The Iraqi people resent our occupation as much as we would resent another nation stronger than ours invading and occupying America. If such

Wants Public Funds To Bail Out Mortgage CrisisFormer Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said on Tuesday the U.S. economy was in recession, and said it would be appropriate to tap public funds to resolve the mortgage-related crisis that has helped pull the economy under.In an interview with CNBC television in which he defended his chairmanship of the U.S. central bank against charges that his policy missteps had laid the groundwork for the current crisis, Greenspan said Fed decisions on his watch were rationally constructed based on evidence at the time.Greenspan went farther than the Fed has by saying outright that the economy is in a recession, although he said it is too soon to say how deep or prolonged the downturn will be.Read Article...

The United States youth movement is underway. For the first time since 1998, the United States has won a game in Europe against a team other than Poland. After starting unbeaten in his first 11 matches, head coach Bob Bradley and the United States had lost five in a row. That was until his son, Michael, touched in an 86th minute winner, to beat Switzerland 1-0 in Basel. The US did it with a number of players who weren't even in the 4th grade in 1998. 20 year old regular starter Bradley was joined in the starting XI by Maurice Edu, 21, who earned his first cap for the men's senior national team. Edu, who plays for Toronto FC in Major League Soccer, looked like a seasoned veteran in the midfield, controlling play defensively and providing a key outlet pass that led to the United States lone

Magellan Midstream Partners and Buckeye Partners have announced they have begun a joint assessment to determine the feasibility of constructing a dedicated ethanol pipeline. The proposed ethanol pipeline system would safely and efficiently deliver renewable fuel ethanol from the Midwest to distribution terminals in the northeastern United States.The proposed pipeline could have the capacity to supply more than 10 million gallons of ethanol per day, enough to meet the needs of millions of northeastern motorists who purchase 10% ethanol blended gasoline or higher ethanol blends such as E85.The pipeline would gather ethanol from production facilities in Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota and South Dakota to serve terminals in major markets such as Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and the New York harbor. The
There is a growing consensus that increased demand for electricity will cement coal's place in the energy portfolio for years to come. In fact, more than half of the electricity produced in the United States comes from coal. With demand for electricity expected to double by 2050 and renewable resources still years away from offsetting increased demand, it is clear -- coal is here to stay.But can 'dirty' coal be used cleanly?" The answer may be a resounding yes if gasification becomes common place, researchers said today at the 2008 Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Boston."Coal gasification offers one of the most versatile and clean ways to convert coal into electricity, hydrogen and other valuable energy products," said George Muntean, st
Plants, trees and algae do it. Even some bacteria and moss do it, but scientists have had a difficult time developing methods to turn sunlight into useful fuel. Now, Penn State researchers have a proof-of-concept device that can split water and produce recoverable hydrogen."This is a proof-of-concept system that is very inefficient. But ultimately, catalytic systems with 10 to 15 percent solar conversion efficiency might be achievable," says Thomas E. Mallouk, the DuPont Professor of Materials Chemistry and Physics. "If this could be realized, water photolysis would provide a clean source of hydrogen fuel from water and sunlight."Although solar cells can now produce electricity from visible light at efficiencies of greater than 10 percent, solar hydrogen cells - like those developed by Cra
High oil prices, energy security considerations and fears about global warming have helped revive interest in renewable energy sources like biofuels, which burn cleanly and can be produced from plants.But there are a few catches, particularly regarding biofuels like corn-based ethanol: the more corn is used in ethanol production, the less is available for food-a reality that partly accounts for the recent run-up in world food prices. Moreover, most of the 6 billion gallons of ethanol produced annually in the United States comes from corn, but there's not enough corn available to make it a viable long-term source.MIT Professor Gregory Stephanopoulos lead a discussion of the various ways scientists and energy policymakers are seeking to overcome these limitations and make biofuels from renew

1 in 100 U.S. Adults Behind Bars, New Study Says:For the first time in the nation’s history, more than one in 100 American adults is behind bars, according to a new report.
Nationwide, the prison population grew by 25,000 last year, bringing it to almost 1.6 million. Another 723,000 people are in local jails. The number of American adults is about 230 million, meaning that one in every 99.1 adults is behind bars.Even worse, if you look at the chart on the right, the criminal (in)justice system is disproportionately imprisoning minority populations, and specifically African American populations.

Vulcan Power Company has announced the G3 Power Plan, a preliminary plan for green grid transmission upgrades to deliver a "green gigawatt" (1,000 megawatts) of clean geothermal power to Los Angeles and Las Vegas from massive natural steam zones located in northwest Nevada.Scientists at the Great Basin Center for Geothermal Energy at University Nevada Reno estimate that 2,500 megawatts (MW) of geothermal natural steam exists in northern Nevada, according to the recent press release of director Dr. Lisa Shevenell. This clean steam fuel could generate power for 2.5 million people, corroborating the US Senate majority leader Harry Reid (D-NV) observation that Nevada is the "Saudi Arabia of Geothermal".There has already been about 240 MW of geothermal online in Nevada for 15 years, which is ev
The US government's decision to end funding for a "zero emissions" coal-fired power plant project has cast doubt over the future of "clean coal" to meet growing global energy needs.The US Department of Energy in late January decided to pull the plug on funding for the FutureGen project launched in 2003 to demonstrate how coal can be burned cleanly, with carbon emissions stored underground in a process known as sequestration.Government officials say they remain committed to the idea of clean coal, but a public spat with a public-private alliance raises doubts about any viable project.FutureGen, a partnership with utilities and coal companies in the US, China, Europe and Australia, announced Thursday it would continue to pursue the project despite the loss of an estimated 1.1 billion dollar

This book is essential for every collector. Its importance is not just as a source of coin values. In fact, that is the least useful part of the book for more common series because, for one thing, it generally doesn't evaluate coins over MS63. This is great for earlier more expensive coins. Prices for popular series that have few varieties, on the other hand, are more fluid because those coins are being constantly traded; also, higher grade examples of these coins can be obtained by people with smaller budgets. So, while it's useful as a guide to prices for scarcer coins that are hard to obtain in grades over MS63, for most silver coins, the internet venues (such as Coin Values and the PCGS price guide) are more up to date.The indispensible value of this book lies in its detailed and mostl
Some of our readers may recall the Rifle Colorado-area oil shale extraction projects of the 1970's (map of area pictured).

But the current one is no longer in service since 1958.I played two games of beach volley ball with DP, JP, and SO against a group of girls, bruised my forearm, and decided to walk around instead. From the parking lot, you can see Nauset Marsh, and there is a path that leads to the marsh and then across it.
Location: Eastham, MassachusettsDate: June 17, 2007 From Coast Guard to Nauset Light Nauset Light BeachNorth of Coast Guard Beach, there is Nauset Light Beach. Between the two beaches is just a stretch of empty seashore, where I found a piece of real, natural sponge. I wanted to keep it as a souvenir, so I put it in a plastic bag. But I later realized that keeping it was a big mistake. It stank up the whole room SY, SO, and I shared. SpongeLike Coast Guard Beach, Nauset Light Beach is also named after the structure built behind it - the Nauset Light Station. Originally, there were three brick lighthouses built in 1837. Because of the cliff's erosion, they are replaced with three wooden, movable ones in 1892. But the mobile ones too needed to be relocated further inland in 1920. Today, they
Location: Brewster, Eastham, Orleans, and Wellfleet, MassachusettsDate: June 19, 2007From this trip, AC wanted beach, and I wanted marsh. Surprisingly, the Cape Cod Rail Trail accommodated to both needs.Along Cape Cod Rail TrailCape Cod Rail Trail is a twenty-two mile long path made by paving over part of Old Colony Railroad Company's Cape Cod line. In 1873, Old Colony Railroad Company’s rails stretched from Boston all the way to Provincetown. Trains transported passengers in and out of Cape Cod on this line until 1960s. But now it is only for cyclists and passengers.AC, DP, SO, SY, and I started our adventure along the trail by renting bicycles in Eastham. Then we biked north until we reach the Cape Cod Rail Trail's northern end - Lecount Hollow Beach. Lecount Hollow Beach is a qu
Location: New York, New YorkDate: July 28, 2007New York Science BargeBarge is a flat boat used for carrying heavy loads. The New York Science Barge carries a greenhouse. It is created by New York Sun Works to show how everybody can generate electricity and grow vegetables with no carbon emission right on their roofs.My favorite object on the New York Science Barge has to be its solar panels. Unlike the traditional ones that lie stationary, these tilt and adjust their positions for the maximum sunlight. Solar PanelWind TurbinesOf course there are wind energy and hydro energy being generated too. But their contribution on the barge is a fraction of the solar panels’.River Water DesalinizerRainwater and river water serve another purpose, and that is to water the vegetables in the green
Location: New York, New YorkDate: September 21, 2003Almost four years after taking these photos, I finally found out who made the statues. They are created by 陳龍斌 Long-Bin Chen, a Taiwanese artist who studied at School of Visual Arts. Chen made many statues using books. Some are several meters tall. But these are only about a foot tall, and they are made out of phonebooks. Now that you know who the artist is, do you know who the statues are modeled after?BodhidharmaBuddhaThe Back of BuddhaA Buddha in Progress
  This is unbelievable, well, actually it is the ACLU so no, it’s not so unbelievable. The ACLU is claiming a person should not be denied a visa to come to the United States to protest the war because of the freedom of speech.
The First Amendment right to freedom of speech should be interpreted as preventing the U.S. government from denying a visa to a foreign critic of U.S. war-time policy who has been invited to speak here, even when national security concerns are cited, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is claiming in a federal lawsuit.
 Now forgive me for asking a stupid question here, but doesn’t the freedom of speech, guaranteed in the UNITED STATES constitution only apply to Americans? Don’t you have to actually be a citizen of the United States to be afforded the protections of the constitution?
 The Aclu will stop at nothing to push their radical leftist positions upon the American people by using the court system. This is the latest example of t

The United States has refused to set a specific target for reducing its greenhouse gas emissions at a UN climate conference in Bali. The US says it will host a separate dialogue of the world's largest greenhouse gas emitters in 2008, at which clear numbers could be discussed. The European Union and other countries want the Bali conference to set a goal for industrialized countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 25 to 40 percent by 2020. But the United States says it will not change its position and instead stresses the importance of developing countries, previously exempt from the Kyoto Protocol, to start cutting their CO2 omissions. These countries say they fear such cuts would curb their economic growth. As the biggest greenhouse gas emitter in the world the US has long baulked at agreeing to binding cuts, refusing to ratify the Kyoto Protocol. The differing responsibilities of developed and developing countries are one of the top issues in Bali, with emissions fro

Last month, we speculated on what by now the big, well-informed, experienced, sophisticated, everyday traders in crude oil might think could happen to crude prices. Here is what has evolved.What has happened to their forecasts since our last letter is that the upper ends of the ranges have been pulled back from above $100 in nearly all of the coming year's futures contract expirations, to now mostly between $95 and $100. The lower ends have been reduced similarly, but primarily in the nearest few months. In the coming year the lowest forecasts are still where they were on Nov. 9, at $75. In short, the market's near-term over-enthusiasm has abated, but it retains the conviction that "normal" prices above $80 a barrel will be sustained. So if your business is driving taxis, trucks or buses, don't plan on regular supplies of sub-$3 gasoline. Offer: Transocean (RIG) still trades near its all-time high of $139.

Last Sunday was a day for encountered feelings. While some were grieving for Sean Taylor at his memorial service, the day was all excitement for tennis betting fans. For the first time in 12 years, United States won the Davis Cup finals, thanks to the sweep given to the Russians by the talented, yet underestimated, Bryan twins.
Bob and Mike Bryan managed to beat Nikolay Davydenko and Igor Andreev. It is amazing the coordination and “chemistry” between the brothers, and it is obviously reflected on the results. Despite of the weird-corny celebration, it’s obvious the team was really happy with the Bryans and their performance. They are now 13-1 in Davis Cup championships.
So, being out there so much more talent out there… Why is Andy Roddick so overrated? He’s quite a tennis player, very impressive. No doubt. But there’s definitely a proof that says that we should be looking a little beyond the usual boundaries when thinking about our best stars to represent the c

Congressional negotiators reached a deal late Friday on energy legislation that would force American automakers to improve the fuel efficiency of their cars and light trucks by 40 percent by 2020. The proposal, which would require automakers to achieve 35 miles per gallon on average, is similar to a measure that was passed in the summer by the Senate but was bitterly opposed by the auto companies, who argued they did not have the technology or the financial resources to reach that goal.The auto companies gave up their long-held opposition to fuel- economy increases not long before the Senate version was passed, but proposed a much weaker alternative. In recent weeks, the chief executives of General Motors, the Ford Motor Company and Chrysler visited Capitol Hill in an effort to fend off a stronger measure, but the compromise announced Friday showed those efforts had little effect.The compromise emerged after days of difficult negotiations between House and Senate members and their

Oil prices soared by $4 a barrel yesterday, forcing a promise from the US government to dip into its emergency reserves after a dramatic explosion in Minnesota killed two repair workers and forced the closure of a vital pipeline from Canada that carries a fifth of American crude imports.The price of West Texas Intermediate blend for January delivery hit $95.17 a barrel, reversing two previous days of heavy falls, and will heap more pressure on OPEC ministers meeting in Abu Dhabi next week to increase the cartel's production.The fatal accident on the pipeline, operated by the energy transportation group Enbridge, disabled a link that carries crude oil from Saskatchewan to the Chicago area. Four separate conduits on the pipe were completely shut down for a while but two were reopened later.The US energy department sought to reassure the oil markets by saying it had 63.5m barrels of reserves in the midwest.

Near the beginning of "Saturday Night Fever," John Travolta's Tony Manero, frustrated that his boss thinks he should save his salary instead of spending it on a new disco shirt, cries out, "fuck the future!" To which his boss replies: "No, Tony, you can't fuck the future. The future fucks you! It catches up with you and it fucks you if you ain't prepared for it!"Well, I don't know if you've noticed, but America has morphed into a nation of Tony Maneros — collectively dismissing the future. And nowhere is this mindset more prevalent than at the Bush White House, which is unwavering in its determination to ignore the future.The evidence is overwhelming. Everywhere you look, it's IOUs passed on to future generations. Record federal debt. Record foreign debt. Record budget deficits. Record trade deficits.And this attempt to fuck the future is not limited to economics. You see the same attitude when it comes to energy policy, health care, education, Social Security and especially th
It is becoming commonplace to hear negative news regarding the housing market. Dollar signs get thrown around in conversations with no real practical sense for the public to grasp the magnitude of the problem. HSBC for example announced that they are pumping $35 billion into their ailing SIVs to avoid a fire sale of assets. You must ask yourself, why are large institutions so frightened about putting assets onto the market? The so called mark to market fear that many structure finance players are trying to avoid at all costs. These short term bailouts are only pausing the inevitable. At a certain point the curtain will be removed and most suspect that the wizard isn’t so powerful after all. I’ve been contemplating this and think that we need to examine multiple areas of the economy to realize that this housing market is merely a symptom a larger epidemic. There have been many articles pointing out the fallacy in assuming that the current credit crunch was caused simply by s
