End of the Free Internet? Global 'News Control' Starting?

Not to begin your day with a bummer, but I've been expecting this for a long time - and today I'm worried that global/corporate/government news control may have arrived in a subtle way. Before I get to the specifics, first the 'big picture' stuff: You may be aware that our friends with the predictive linguistics project have been seeing out some ways into the future, perhaps mid 2009, we will all slowly lose our ability to communicate freely and openly at the 'global' (hive?) level as corporations and governments begin to lock down the internet. Might be on a phony 'terror' prevention pretext or a 'copyright' red herring, or whatever. If ...

After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, New York scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclu sion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago. Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed in California, an archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet. Shortly after, headlines in the LA Times newspaper read: "California archaeologists have found traces of 200 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers." One week later, the Burlington Free Press, a local newspaper in ...

Colorado Doctor Finds Foot In Newborn's Brain Infant Recovering After Surgery POSTED: 7:23 am MST December 17, 2008 UPDATED: 1:35 pm MST December 17, 2008 COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- A Colorado Springs family is part of one of the strangest cases in medical history. Dr. Paul Grabb, a pediatric brain surgeon, said he discovered a small foot growing inside the brain of 3-day-old Sam Esquibel. The appendage threatened the newborn's life. When Grabb performed the life-saving surgery at Memorial Hospital for Children in Colorado Springs, he was in for another surprise: he also found what appeared to be parts of an intestine in the folds of the infant's tiny brain, in addition to ...

Post Modern Liberal Insanity #2byR.E. PrindleFact not Belief The problem is the Liberals. Most think Liberalism is just a political approach but it isn57;t. Liberalism is a doctrine. As a doctrine it is inherently anti-scientific. As science contradicts Liberal doctrine at all points it is the enemy to be suppressed or destroyed. Thus Liberals are doctrinaires. They do not like to be called doctrinaires as a doctrinaire is a narrow minded bigot.*******See also: Race and intelligence On October 14, 2007, a biographical article written by one of Watson's former assistants[50], Charlotte Hunt-Grubbe, appeared in the Sunday Times ...

Who did Bernie swindle? Mark Lacter • Bio • Email That would be Bernie Madoff, who has been charged in connection with a decades-long Ponzi scheme that could involve as much as $50 billion. Madoff's asset management business always delivered steady returns, even though many had suspected he was running a rigged shop. Madoff, 70, told employees before his arrest that his firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, was "one big lie." Christopher Miller, CEO of a London hedge fund ratings agency told the WSJ that "there will be a monumental impact for the hedge fund industry, it could be larger than Enron.

Beginning in 2009, Hewlett-Packard will offer a notebook battery upgrade that is guaranteed for three years. The announcement was made Wednesday by Boston-Power, a supplier of lithium-ion batteries that will sell its Sonata battery to Hewlett-Packard. Representatives from both HP and Boston-Power declined to divulge many details on the relationship, primarily as B-P is a startup company, ramping production to meet the demands of its first customer. A representative from HP said that the company will make the Sonata battery available on some mainstream consumer notebooks, without specifying which models. HP's commercial notebook division is "looking at it," a spokesman said. ...

Cool Earth Is Scaling Up Solar Energy Generation (Utility-scale Solar Balloons)

Imagine a 1-megawatt solar power plant that has nothing to do with vast swaths of PV panels or mirrored troughs in a barren desert environment that require new transmission lines to population centers. Instead, picture a rolling, grassy field populated with 500 vertical poles that each hold two 8-foot-wide balloons. While cows graze among the poles, the large recyclable plastic balloons, each with a mirrored inside surface, truss and concentrated solar cell, follow the sun's transit thanks to a small electric motor. A utility substation is nearby. While balloons deployed across the land collecting solar energy is indeed a happy image, CEO Rob Lamkin would argue that the true ...

The male gender is in danger, with incalculable consequences for both humans and wildlife, startling scientific research from around the world reveals. The research – to be detailed tomorrow in the most comprehensive report yet published – shows that a host of common chemicals is feminising males of every class of vertebrate animals, from fish to mammals, including people. Backed by some of the world's leading scientists, who say that it "waves a red flag" for humanity and shows that evolution itself is being disrupted, the report comes out at a particularly sensitive time for ministers. On Wednesday, Britain will lead opposition to proposed new European controls ...

Despite the efforts of the computer security industry and a half-decade struggle by Microsoft to protect its Windows operating system, malicious software is spreading faster than ever. The so-called malware surreptitiously takes over a PC and then uses that computer to spread more malware to other machines exponentially. Computer scientists and security researchers acknowledge they cannot get ahead of the onslaught. Click for Full Text!

Rolling "Sea Grape" Rocks the Fossil Record

Click for Full Text! A submarine expedition that went looking for visually flashy sea creatures instead found a drab, mud-covered blob that may turn out to be truly spectacular indeed. The grape-like animal, tentatively named the Bahamian Gromia, is actually a single-celled organism, fully one inch long. But what makes it really fantastic is that it moves -- very slowly -- by rolling itself along the ocean floor. "At first, we assumed they were snails, because they had trails," said Sönke Johnsen, an associate professor of biology at Duke University. But after sucking up a few with the tools aboard the NOAA research submarine Johnson-Sea-Link and having a look, they ...

Metal prices fall further than during Great Depression

Kevin Norrish, the bank's commodities strategist, said the average fall in the price of copper, lead, and zinc has been roughly 60pc since the peak in July this year. All three metals were traded on the London Metal Exchange in the inter-war years so it is possible to make a comparison. Prices for the three metals fell 40pc from their highs in 1929 before touching bottom in 1933, with the bulk of the fall in 1930 as the slump spread worldwide. "Lead and zinc have already lost more than they did in the 1930s," he said. Copper was hit hardest during the Depression, despite the electrification drive in the US and the Soviet Union, falling 70pc at one stage before creeping back ...

Acorn Watchers Wonder What Happened to Crop The idea seemed too crazy to Rod Simmons, a measured, careful field botanist. Naturalists in Arlington County couldn't find any acorns. None. No hickory nuts, either. Then he went out to look for himself. He came up with nothing. Nothing crunched underfoot. Nothing hit him on the head. Then calls started coming in about crazy squirrels. Starving, skinny squirrels eating garbage, inhaling bird feed, greedily demolishing pumpkins. Squirrels boldly scampering into the road. And a lot more calls about squirrel roadkill. But Simmons really got spooked when he was teaching a class on identifying oak and hickory trees late last month. For 2 ...
