What the Indian giver got Posted: March 7, 2006 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2006 Creators Syndicate Inc. Standing beside Pervez Musharraf, an ally in the war on terror, President Bush explained how he told him Pakistan would not be getting the same aid in developing peaceful nuclear power that Bush had just promised to India: "I explained that Pakistan and India are different countries with different needs and different histories. So as we proceed forward, our strategy will take in effect those well-known differences." Bush was bluntly saying India is a democracy we can trust not to spread nuclear technology, but we're not sure we trust you. After all, your boy A.Q. Khan was ...

Tuesday, March 7, 2006 An 11-year epoch of increasingly severe solar storms that could fry power grids, disrupt cell-phone calls, knock satellites back to Earth, endanger astronauts in space, and force commercial airliners to change their routes to protect their radio communications and to avoid deadly solar radiation could begin as soon as this fall, scientists announced Monday. When the solar cycle reaches its peak in 2012, it will hurl at Earth mammoth solar storms with intense radiation and clouds of high-speed subatomic particles millions of miles across, the scientists said. A storm of that magnitude could short-circuit a world increasingly dependent on giant utilities and ...
MECHANICAL ENGINEER: WTC 'PANCAKE COLLAPSE' WOULD HAVE TAKEN 96 SECONDS, NOT 10

Analysis by Judy Wood, Phd "...To illustrate the timing for this domino effect, we will use a sequence of falling billiard balls, where each billiard ball triggers the release of the next billiard ball in the sequence. This assumes pulverization is instantaneous and does not slow down the process. It reality, this pulverization would slow down the “pancake” progression, so longer times would be expected."

The CBS news article below reveals a major breakthrough in car engine design. This car engine gets over 50 mpg, goes from zero to 60 in four seconds, and runs on soybean oil! So why isn't this remarkable breakthrough making front page headlines in all major media? For the same reason that many other major energy breakthroughs have been reported but never given the headlines they deserve. Those who are reaping huge profits from oil sales have much more political and media influence than you might imagine. Under the short, but revealing CBS article below, I've included links to several other major energy breakthroughs reported in the mainstream media which should be getting major attention. ...
Yellowstone Bulge May Cause Thermal Unrest

BILLINGS, Mont. - A newly discovered surface bulge in Yellowstone National Park may be responsible for some unexpected geothermal activity in recent years, according to a study by U.S. Geological Survey scientists. The bulge, about 25 miles across, rose 5 inches from 1997 to 2003 and may have triggered some thermal unrest at Norris Geyser Basin, including a sudden rise in temperatures, new steam vents and the awakening of Steamboat geyser. The findings are part of a paper set to be published Thursday in the journal Nature. Charles Wicks, one of the USGS scientists who worked on the study, said much of what happens beneath the park's surface remains a mystery, but more is being learned ...

(03-02) 09:18 PST WASHINGTON (AP) -- Hundreds of warnings on food labels would vanish under a measure being debated Thursday in the House. The bill would stop states from adding warnings that are different from federal rules. States currently have an array of different warnings: _ New York requires labels to note when high levels of lead or mercury are present in products. _ Minnesota grocery shoppers must be told whether alcohol is an ingredient in candy. _ Alaska requires labeling of farmed fish, which can contain pesticides or other chemicals. "This would be the most sweeping change in decades to our nation's efforts to protect the food supply," said Rep. Henry ...

Website attacks are increasing in frequency and ferocity, hammering DVD sales and disrupting online payment services. Called "distributed denial of service attacks" (DDOS), they bombard sites with so much data that legitimate traffic can't get through. They've been around for years. But they're now more powerful, and they're taking down more than just intended targets. In recent incidents, companies providing Web-hosting services for victims - as well as hundreds of their customers - have been caught in the cross-hairs, creating a wave of collateral damage. Security software giant Symantec saw an average 927 DDOS attacks per day in the first half of last year, up 679% from the ...

US To Test MOAB, *Mother of All Bombs* On Hurricanes In an effort to combat the devastating effects of category 5 hurricanes, New Tech Spy has learned from well connected DoD sources, that the US Department of Homeland Security has teamed with the US Air Force, in a secret mission called “Operation Dark Sky”. Dark Sky’s purpose is to test the effectiveness of the newly developed MOAB fuel air explosive on the destructive eye wall of selected hurricanes, in an effort to disrupt the central core’s development and diminish its intensity. The program will begin this summer, primarily in the Gulf of Mexico, and extend through the 2006 hurricane season. ---The GBU-43/B ...
Unusual Head Winds Prolong Flights
Post Date: 2006-02-27 13:53:30 by Brian S

Unusually strong February winds at high altitudes have led to longer flight times, unscheduled pit stops and higher costs for U.S. airlines. David Neeleman, CEO at discount carrier JetBlue, called it a "10-to-20-year event," in a speech to investors at a conference last week. The problem, which mainly has affected long distance east-to-west flights, costs his airline money by disrupting its schedule. This month, the southern leg of the jet stream — a river of high-altitude westerly winds blowing across the continent — has been unusually large and powerful. On the ground, the unusual jet stream has had a role in keeping the Northern Plains dry, and, two weeks ago, ...

AccuWeather.com meteorologists are warning that oceanic conditions similar to those that triggered the ruinous "Dust Bowl" drought again appear to be in place. The exceptionally warm Atlantic waters that played a major role in the record-breaking 2005 hurricane season, coupled with cooler-than-normal Pacific waters, are weakening and changing the course of a low-level jet stream that normally channels moisture into the Great Plains. Effects are starting to be felt in "America's breadbasket," as the southern Great Plains region is already suffering from higher temperatures and a prolonged lack of precipitation. Why could a new Dust Bowl drought occur?The low-level jet ...

I BELIEVE ALIENS WILL COME HERE BY 2012 RICHARD AULT 09:30 - 28 January 2006 The treasurer of a pensioners' campaign group has quit his full-time position to form an organisation dedicated to helping humanity establish contact with alien life forms. Phillip Snow, who will continue to assist the North Staffordshire Pensioners' Convention on a part-time basis, believes a rise in UFO sightings is a sign of the dawning of a new age. He is convinced this is a time when first contact will be established with extra-terrestrial beings. Ministry of Defence records show that 158 unexplained sightings were reported nationally in 2005, up from 86 in 2004 and 99 in 2003. Mr Snow, aged 60, of ...

"I'm in the year 2063," he declares during an open-lines segment on Coast to Coast AM, a nationally syndicated late-night radio show. Show host George Noory listens with the same respectful tone he uses whether callers have Ph.D.s in microbiology or advanced degrees in wacko. "So what's going on?" he asks, getting an impenetrable answer about the decline of money. And then it's on to the usual calls about alien-human hybrids, spiritual visitations and global conspiracies. But that's not all. Noory combines the unexplained with something unexpected -- ...

In talks with the Home Office Microsoft may begin training the police in ways to break the encryption built into its forthcoming client PC operating system Vista. The news was revealed in a parliamentary committee session, where Professor Ross Anderson of Cambridge University warned MPs that if such a move was being considered then the police should start learning sooner rather than later. The need to decrypt hard drives was a prominent reason given for extending the length of time that the police could hold terrorism suspects. "It is our goal to give PC users the control and confidence they need so they can continue to get the most out of their PCs," said a Microsoft ...

The reason the US took Europe to the WTO court was to prise open lucrative markets elsewhere Monday February 13, 2006 Just a few years ago, World Trade Organisation officials used to act hurt when described by social activists as irresponsible, secretive bureaucrats who trampled over national sovereignty and placed free trade over the environment or human rights. But that was when the global-trade policeman ruled on disputes that had little bearing on Europeans. The WTO court's latest ruling will greatly increase the number of people who believe the organisation needs radical reform, if not burial. This week three judges emerged after years of secret deliberation to rule that Europe ...
