I was reminded of Rands classic as President Bush and members of Congress recently gathered for the signing of the new energy bill. The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 is less about energy and more about control. The most ambitious projections by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy predict it will cut our energy consumption by a whopping 7 percent by 2030.

This landmark piece of literature foretold a United States where an ever-intrusive and expanding government begins to smother productivity and shutter the doors of entrepreneurship. Innovators, creators and producers are driven to destroy their own works rather than turn them over to the vultures who have taken over the government.

White cabled that "it would seem advisable to review this arrangement to insure that its continuation is in US interest."
This demonstrates that the US facilitated communications for Operation Condor, and has been called by J. Patrice McSherry (Long Island Univ.) "another piece of increasingly weighty evidence suggesting that U.S. military and intelligence officials supported and collaborated with Condor as a secret partner or sponsor."
It has been argued that while the US was not a key member, it "provided organizational, intelligence, financial and technological assistance to the operation."
CIA documents show that the CIA had close contact with members of the Chilean secret police, DINA, and its chief Manuel Contreras
the CIAs one-time payment to Contreras is proof that the U.S. approved of Operation Condor and military repression within Chile
the South American intelligence chiefs involved in Condor"[kept] in touch with one another through a U.S. communications installation in the Panama Canal Zone which cover[ed] all of Latin America"

The same thing is endangering other species such as polar bears, and seals. The concentration of walrus and other animals on the land and the range that gives them has a detrimental effect in their local feeding, where overfeeding can strip the habitat of an available food source.

"Ultimately its beyond my scope," said Joel Garlich-Miller, a walrus expert for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Anchorage
3,000 to 4,000 mostly young walrus died this year in stampedes on land on the Russian side of the Chukchi

Instead of spending
summer spread over sea ice, thousands of walruses were stranded on land in unprecedented numbers for up to three months
the loss of 3,000 to 4,000 animals this year from mostly one demographic could be disastrous
If current ice trends continue, and walrus have to stay on coastlines every summer, they may put too much pressure on nearby foraging areas instead of feeding in the rich waters offshore

Art is hot. Despite turmoil in the financial markets, there are no signs that the art market is softening. The fall auction season in New York saw robust prices across most categories, with postwar and contemporary works in particular going through the roof. It seemed like a new record was being shattered every time an art auction was held.
The reason for the art markets strong showing? The weak dollar, expanding world wealth and
new buyers from countries not previously associated with the art collecting community, experts say. Over the last five years, wealthy buyers from Russia, China, India and the Middle East have greatly helped fuel the art market.

This year?s death-penalty bombshells ? a federal moratorium, a state abolition and the smallest number of executions in more than a decade ? have masked what may be the most significant and lasting development. For the first time in the modern history of the death penalty, more than 60 percent of all American executions took place in Texas.
Many legal experts say that trend is likely to continue.
Indeed, said David R. Dow, a law professor at the University of Houston who has represented death row inmates, the day is not far off when essentially all executions in the United States will take place in Texas.
?The reason that Texas will end up monopolizing executions,? he said, ?is because every other state will eliminate it de jure, as New Jersey did, or de facto, as other states have.?
?There?s almost an aggressiveness about carrying out executions,? said Mr. Dieter, whose organization opposes capital punishment.

As an Army surgeon in the Middle East, Dr. Keith Rose watched a colleague bleed to death when a truck in his convoy was hit with a rocket-propelled grenade.

Christians perpetrated the crusades, the inquisition, the slave trade and imperial adventures too numerous to mention. It may be comforting to pat ourselves on the back and consign those behaviors to past centuries. We are living in the 21st century after all. Who would use the name of the Christian God to justify mass killing? A majority of modern day American Christians, thats who.
Perhaps the argument used against Muslims should be applied to Christians instead. Their religion has been hijacked by fundamentalist fanatics while the non-fanatics remain silent. The term clash of civilizations is definitely a misnomer. There can be no clash unless both sides are in fact civilized. Any assertion of American civilization is clearly open to question. (L.c.)
The terror attack that took place on September 11, 2001 was an aberration in more ways than one. Muslims were the perpetrators, but that is usually not the case. The purveyors of hate and violence in America are almost always Christians.
A Pew poll indicated that a small number of American Muslims, a minority of only 8 percent, considered suicide bombing acceptable under certain circumstances. The vast majority, 78 percent, said suicide bombing against civilian targets was never acceptable.
Most Christians, 65 percent of Protestants and 72 percent of Catholics, believe that torture is justifiable under certain circumstances. Nearly half of Americans, 46 percent, believe that it may be acceptable to deliberately target civilian populations in war time. An average of 75 percent of Muslims in Egypt, Pakistan, Indonesia and Morocco believe that such attacks are never acceptable.

Are we the lone sentient life in the universe? So far, we have no evidence to the contrary, and yet the odds that not one single other planet has evolved intelligent life would appear, from a statistical standpoint, to be quite small. There are an estimated 250 billion (2.5 x 1011) stars in the Milky Way alone, and over 70 sextillion (7 x 1022) in the visible universe, and many of them are surrounded by multiple planets. The shear size of the known universe is staggeringly and inconceivably vast.
The odds of there being only one single planet that evolved life among all that unfathomable vastness seems so incredible, that it is all but completely irrational to believe. But then "where are they?" asked physicist Enrico Fermi while having lunch with his colleagues in 1950.

Teachers leaders and opposition MPs have raised the alarm over increasing numbers of special needs children being excluded from schools.
Figures unearthed by the Liberal Democrats show that for the first time in years more than half the children being excluded from school have some special need. They place a question mark over the success of the policy of integrating children with disabilities into mainstream schools.
The figures show 55 per cent of all exclusions involved pupils with special needs ? up from 45 per cent four years ago.
The National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers, which has campaigned against disruptive behaviour in school, said it was "concerned" that the drive for inclusion "can lead to these pupils and their teachers being deprived of the specialist support and advice to which they are entitled".
Today, hypnosis is emerging both as a science and an art; however, the fact that it has slowly become considered a science by the scientific community is because many proponents have become more scientific in their approaches.

However, there are others whose contributions also deserve places in history.

BEIJING ? Police were searching for the culprits behind the beheading and skinning of a rare Siberian tiger at a zoo in central China, state media reported Sunday.
The female tiger was found with its head, legs and skin missing Thursday morning at the Three Gorges Forest Wild Animal World in Yichang city in Hubei province, Xinhua News Agency.
"It is highly possible that the killer or killers broke into the room, anesthetized the tiger, opened the cage and then dragged the animal out of the room and butchered it," Xinhua quoted one unnamed official as saying.
Tiger skins are sold on the black market in China, and tiger parts are used in traditional medicines.
The WWF conservation group lists the Siberian tiger as "critically endangered" and says there are only about 530 of the animals alive in the wild. Most live in the far east of Russia or northeast China.
Hundreds more live in captivity. Xinhua said China has established breeding bases to help protect the animals.

A newly declassified document shows that J. Edgar Hoover, the longtime director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, had a plan to suspend habeas corpus and imprison some 12,000 Americans he suspected of disloyalty.
Hoover wanted President Harry S. Truman to proclaim the mass arrests necessary to ?protect the country against treason, espionage and sabotage.? The F.B.I would ?apprehend all individuals potentially dangerous? to national security, Hoover?s proposal said. The arrests would be carried out under ?a master warrant attached to a list of names? provided by the bureau.
The names were part of an index that Hoover had been compiling for years. ?The index now contains approximately twelve thousand individuals, of which approximately ninety-seven per cent are citizens of the United States,? he wrote.
?In order to make effective these apprehensions, the proclamation suspends the Writ of Habeas Corpus,? it said.

Everyone knows hand washing is important. But a new study shows how washing your hands often, and at the right time, can have a big impact on your family?s risk for getting sick.
The study authors note that the timing of hand washing is key. It?s obvious to wash hands after using the toilet, after sneezing or before eating or handling food. Other crucial times for hand washing are after changing a diaper or cleaning up after a pet, or after touching garbage cans, cleaning cloths, cutting boards, dish rags and utensils that may have come into contact with raw food.
Another study found that in homes where salmonella cases had been diagnosed, the bacteria were still lurking in toilet bowls three weeks after the outbreak. Water splashing on the toilet seat was a source of contamination.

In the course of its routine quality control monitoring processes the Company identified a manufacturing issue with test strips from specific lots that could result in blood glucose readings with a positive bias that is outside of our product specifications. Test results may demonstrate results 5 -17% higher.
This issue is unrelated in any way to the Contour TS meter itself and pertains only to certain test strips used with the meter. Additionally, this issue has no impact on the performance of strips used with other Bayer meters including Ascensia Contour and Ascensia Breeze2 systems.

In the case of interracial murder for 2004, where the race of victim and perpetrator is known, more than twice as many whites were murdered by a black than cases of a white murdering a black.

Its dangerous, for it contributes to a pile of racial kindling awaiting a racial arsonist to set it ablaze. I cant think of better recruitment gifts for Americas racists, either white or black.

Against all odds, and despite the usual drumbeat of criticism, President Bush has had a very good year. The troop surge in Iraq is succeeding. America remains safe from terrorist attacks. And the Goldilocks economy is outperforming all expectations.
2007 looks set to produce 3% growth in real GDP, nearly 3 % growth in consumer spending, and over 3% growth in after-tax inflation-adjusted incomes. Meanwhile, headline inflation (including food and energy) will have run at 2.5%, with only 2% core inflation.
Jobs are rising over 100,000 per month and the stock market is set to turn in a respectable year despite enormous headwinds. Low tax rates, modest inflation, and declining interest rates continue to boost Goldilocks, which is still the greatest story never told.
In the most dramatic statement of his holiday news conference, Mr. Bush said he will not stand for the continuing congressional proliferation of pork-barrel earmarks.
Thousands of Iraqi Christians picked their way through checkpoints and along dusty streets lined with concrete blast walls, crowding into churches in Baghdad on Tuesday for Christmas Mass.
Less than three percent of Iraqs 26 million people are Christians - the majority of whom are Chaldean-Assyrians and Armenians, with small numbers of Roman Catholics.
But this year, with the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha coming just before Christmas, Iraq has been living through some of the most peaceful moments since the U.S.-led invasion of 2003.
Muslim clerics - both Sunni and Shiite - also attended the service in a sign of unity.

Aerogel, one of the world?s lightest solids, can withstand a direct blast of 1kg of dynamite and protect against heat from a blowtorch at more than 1,300C.
Aerogel is nicknamed ?frozen smoke? and is made by extracting water from a silica gel, then replacing it with gas such as carbon dioxide. The result is a substance that is capable of insulating against extreme temperatures and of absorbing pollutants such as crude oil.
It was invented by an American chemist for a bet in 1931
Aerogel is described by scientists as the ?ultimate sponge?, with millions of tiny pores on its surface making it ideal for absorbing pollutants in water.
Dunlop, the sports equipment company, has developed a range of squash and tennis rackets strengthened with aerogel, which are said to deliver more power.
Although aerogel is classed as a solid, 99% of the substance is made up of gas, which gives it a cloudy appearance.
Boris Glazer lives in Ekaterinburg, Russia. He works as a computer programmer in graphic design. He is an avid collector of Soviet-era New Years cards (commonly known as Christmas cards). In this very special interveiw, Boris talks about his wonderful and highly interesting collection.
Glazer: As always, it began in childhood. New Year in the Soviet Union was the only official holiday not connected with communistic ideology. In those days, it was the main winter holiday--a mix of Christmas and New Year. The Christmas Tree was substituted with New Year Tree. The star on its top was considered as the small sister of the Kremlin stars. But it did not spoil an atmosphere of a holiday, fun, kindness, and hope.
ephemera: Im fascinated by this collection. What challenges do you face in finding new items to add to it?
Glazer:
The problem is that although they are not costly, they are difficulty to find.

PHILADELPHIA - Transit officer Steven Rocher got up before dawn on Christmas to deliver a few more presents to his mothers house. He ended up delivering a very special gift indeed.
Rocher, 51, a police sergeant with the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, was driving through North Philadelphia on Tuesday when he heard a woman scream.
The woman was lying on the sidewalk near a bus stop, about to give birth, and he saw a man tugging at her clothes.
"As I got closer, he says to me, `Help me, please!"
Rocher, a transit officer for two decades, said employees get annual CPR training "but nothing about delivering babies."
Still, he managed to figure it out.
"When I heard the baby crying, I felt a sense of comfort because I knew the baby was OK," he said.
"I said, `Call radio, tell them we need rescue. I got a baby being born!"
The rescue car took the baby girl and her parents to Temple University Hospital.

Love one another, but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each others cup, but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread, but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone. Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each others keeping. For only the hand of life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together. For the pillars of the temple stand apart.
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each others shadow.
Dec. 21, 2007 -- If it is true that what does not kill you makes you stronger, the final incarnation of the Hubble Space Telescope may fundamentally change what is known about existence.
After reversing a decision to cancel a shuttle servicing mission to Hubble, NASA is putting the finishing touches on a flight planned for August to overhaul the worlds most popular observatory one last time.
The expectations seem giddily high. Astronomers want to use the refurbished telescope to peer back to when the universe was a mere 460 million years old -- a fraction of its current 13.7 billion years. They plan to hunt down supernova explosions to serve as bookmarks in time and space in an attempt to figure out why the expansion of the universe has sped up in the last 4 to 5 billion years or so.

ScienceDaily (Dec. 26, 2007) ? Most modern-day groups of beetles have been around since the time of the dinosaurs and have been diversifying ever since, says new research.
There are approximately 350,000 species of beetles on Earth, and probably millions more yet to be discovered, accounting for about 25% of all known life forms on the planet. The reason for this large number of beetle species has been debated by scientists for many years, but never resolved.
Now a team of scientists has shown that large numbers of modern-day beetle lineages evolved very soon after the first beetles originated, and have persisted ever since. Many modern-day lineages first appeared during the Jurassic period, when the major groups of dinosaurs appeared too.
"The large number of beetle species existing today could very well be a direct result of this early evolution and the fact that there has been a very high rate of survival and continuous diversification of many lineages since then."

MAUSTON, Wis. ? Capt. Scott Southworth knew hed face violence, political strife and blistering heat when he was deployed to one of Baghdads most dangerous areas. But he didnt expect Alaa Eddeen.
Alaa was 9 years old, strong of will but weak of body ? he suffered from cerebral palsy and weighed just 55 pounds. He lived among about 20 kids with physical or mental disabilities at the Mother Teresa orphanage, under the care of nuns who preserved this small oasis in a dangerous place.
On Sept. 6, 2003, halfway through his 13-month deployment, Southworth and his military police unit paid a visit to the orphanage. They played and chatted with the children; Southworth was talking with one little girl when Alaa dragged his body to the soldiers side.
Black haired and brown eyed, Alaa spoke to the 31-year-old American in the limited English he had learned from the sisters. He recalled the bombs that struck government buildings across the Tigris River.

But, 26-year-old Vaibhav Vats will tell you, it was doing him no good. His weight had grown to 265 pounds and he was missing out on social life as he worked long overnight hours at a call center. Eventually, he quit.
"You are making nice money. But the tradeoff is also big," said Vats, who spent nearly two years at IBM Corp.s call center arm in India, answering customer calls from the United States.
Call center employees face sleep disorders, heart disease, depression and family discord, according to experts.

ScienceDaily (Dec. 25, 2007) ? California ground squirrels and rock squirrels chew up rattlesnake skin and smear it on their fur to mask their scent from predators, according to a new study by researchers at UC Davis.
Adult female squirrels and juveniles apply snake scent more often than adult males, which are less vulnerable to predation by snakes, Clucas said. The scent probably helps to mask the squirrels own scent, especially when the animals are asleep in their burrows at night, or to persuade a snake that another snake is in the burrow.
They also pick up snake odor from soil and other surfaces on which snakes have been resting, and use that to apply scent. Other rodents have been observed using similar behavior.
"Its a nice example of the opportunism of animals," Owings said. "Theyre turning the tables on the snake."

A thinker sees his own actions as experiments and questions--as attempts to find out something. Success and failure are for him answers above all. - Friedrich Nietzsche
If you think we are living in scary times, your worst fears may be confirmed by reading Naomi Wolfs newest book, The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot. In it, Wolf proves the old axiom that history does repeat itself. Or more accurately, history occurs in patterns, and in order to understand where our country is today and where it is headed, we need to read the history books.
Wolf began by diving into the early years leading up to fascist regimes, like the ones led by Hitler and Mussolini. And the patterns that she found in those, and others all over the world, made her hair stand on end. In "The End of America," she lays out the 10 steps that dictators (or aspiring dictators) take in order to shut down an open society. "Each of those ten steps is now under way in the United States today," she writes.
If we want an open society, she warns, we must pay attention and we must fight to protect democracy.
A "universe in a test tube" that could be used to assess theories of everything has been created by physicists.
The test tube, the size of a little finger, has been cooled to a fraction of a degree above the lowest possible temperature, absolute zero, which is just over 273 degrees below the freezing point of water.
The Holy Grail of physics is to establish an overarching explanation to unite all the particles and forces of the cosmos. But one of the complaints commonly levelled at a leading contender for a "theory of everything", called string theory, is that it is impossible to test.
But now, according to the study in the journal Nature Physics, it may be possible using the universe in a test tube. "It was a serendipitous discovery," says Haley.
You might not realize it, but you?re born with more brain cells than you know what to do with. Or at least more brain-cell connections. As you grow older, through childhood and adolescence, you get rid of the connections that aren?t being used to store information or to tell you which tie goes with that jacket.
For years researchers have known about this cellular pruning. But they didn?t know how it worked. Now scientists from the Stanford University School of Medicine report that it?s the immune system that carries out this critical brain maintenance. In fact, the same protein that helps gets rid of uninvited bacteria also eliminates unused neural connections. The findings appeared in the December 14 issue of the journal Cell.
This routine cellular maintenance is important for normal brain development. Mice that are missing this pruning protein wind up with disorganized, abnormal retinas.
Cognitive sciences such as developmental psychology, cognitive ethology and cognitive archaeology continuously produce evidence of high-level thinking in non-linguistic creatures. José Luis Bermúdez applies this evidence in formulating a philosophical theory of non-linguistic thought, the main elements of which I summarise here. While I agree with most of the positive aspects of his theory of non-linguistic thought, I argue that the negative aspects of his theory?according to which non-linguistic creatures are denied metacognitive capacities?fails to take into account the evidence from aphasia. I conclude by offering a way of conceiving of non-linguistic metarepresentational thought.

They say it cant be done. You cant use language to get outside language. The very idea. Thus Putnam: "our language cannot be divided up into two parts, a part that describes the world `as it is anyway, and a part that describes our conceptual contribution," in order to see that our language conforms to reality as it is anyway.
anticipated, as in so much, by Wittgenstein,
elements of what we call "language" or "mind" penetrate so deeply into what we call "reality" that the very project of representing ourselves as being "mappers" of something "language-independent" is fatally compromised from the start.... Realism is an impossible attempt to view the world from Nowhere

Since January, Facebook has added 250,000 new users each day with nearly 60 million people worldwide now using the site.
Facebook has also acquired considerable attention regarding its user privacy policies, online marketing strategies and the short-sighted decision of some companies and governments to block employee access to the site.
the lasting lesson of Facebook may come from a series of events that unfolded over the past two weeks in Canada.
They demonstrate that Facebook is far more than just a cool way to catch up with old friends; rather, it is an incredibly effective and efficient tool that can be used to educate and galvanise grassroots advocacy, placing unprecedented power into the hands of individuals.
politicians, companies, and other organizations can ill-afford to ignore a medium that is capable of mobilizing tens of thousands within a matter of days. Those caught flatfooted may ultimately find themselves struggling to save face.

Today, hypnosis is emerging both as a science and an art; however, the fact that it has slowly become considered a science by the scientific community is because many proponents have become more scientific in their approaches. There are thousands of people who have contributed to the advancement of hypnotism. Those who are recognized by the scientific community are the ones who took a more scientific approach. However, there are others whose contributions also deserve places in history.
