Welcome to the world of nano foods -- The processed-food giant Kraft and a group of research laboratories are busy working towards 'programmable food'. One product they are working on is a colourless, tasteless drink that you, the consumer, will design after you've bought it. You'll decide what colour and flavour you'd like the drink to be, and what nutrients it will have in it, once you get home. You'll zap the product with a correctly-tuned microwave transmitter - presumably Kraft will sell you that, too.

Quarantine Unit Prepares for Outbreak

OMAHA, Neb. - Consider it a biomedical Fort Knox, a fortress for germs instead of gold.
On a quiet floor of the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, the most advanced containment system available forms a bulwark against the release of deadly infectious diseases such as the feared bird flu.
The Nebraska Biocontainment Unit has only 10 beds yet is the largest of three quarantine facilities in the country. They would be of no use once a flu pandemic was raging. But if someone shows up with an unusual contagious killer, they might help avert an outbreak.

It is commonly theorised that whatever crashed there that day, was a alien space craft, and bodys recovered. However, certain events in history, seem to suggest otherwise. What if the craft that crashed wasn't extra-terrestrial in nature, what if the crashed suacer was actually German in nature? To describe this we must go backwards in history to when it all started, in Germany.

Nano Tech

Nanocables that convert light into electricity could one day be used to power nano-robots.
The cables are 16 nanometres in diameter and several micrometres long. They resemble the light-harvesting antennae used by some bacteria and transform light into electricity in a similar way to the semiconductors in solar panels, albeit on a much smaller scale.
"This is the first example of a photoconducting nanostructure," says Takanori Fukushita of the University of Tokyo, Japan, a member of the team that built the cables.
The hollow cables can grow up to several micrometres long. To build them, Fukushita and colleagues created a compound containing hexabenzocoronene (HBC), two carbon-12 chains, and trinitrofluorenone (TNF). They placed the compound in a solution of tetrahydrofuran and bubbled methane vapour though it, causing the compound to self-assemble into hollow cables.
The HBC, which sheds electrons when hit by light, formed the inside of the cable wall, and the TNF, which readily accepts electrons, coated the outside of the wall.
Light switch
Each time a photon hits the cable from outside it passes through the outer layer and knocks an electron loose from the inner layer. This causes the electron to jump to the outer layer and leave behind a positively charged "hole". These separated charges can then generate a current.
To test the nanocables, the researchers placed one on a silicon surface and applied a voltage across it. When light was shone onto the surface, a current began flowing down the cable between two electrodes. When the light was switched off, the current stopped.
At the moment, the cables cannot produce usable electricity from sunlight alone, as current does not flow well through the outer layer of TNF. The next step, Fukushita says, is to modify the outer layer, perhaps by attaching carbon-60 molecules (buckyballs), so it acts as a semiconductor and allows more current to flow.
Once this has been achieved, the nanocables could be fitted to nano-sized robots or micro-machines and power their movements, suggests Franz Würthner at the University of Würzburg in Germany. Their similarity in size and function to the antennae used by bacteria for photosynthesis means it might also be possible to connect them to such organisms, creating hybrid devices, he says.

Eye's on the Skies December 15th

A coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth yesterday and sparked a strong display of auroras. Another CME may be on the way. An X1-flare from sunspot 930 on Dec. 14th probably hurled a new cloud in our direction. (Confirmation from SOHO is pending.) If so, it would arrive on Dec. 16th and re-energize geomagnetic activity. Stay tuned!
AURORA ALERT: A strong geomagnetic storm is in progress. If it's dark where you live, go outside and look for auroras. And if you don't see them, try taking a picture. A 30-second exposure will often reveal colorful auroras that the human eye cannot see.

The Sixth World

The Mayan sixth world Body: MUCH LOVE TO: RealityDate: Dec 12 2006 11:14 AMMUCH LOVE TO (((markelle)))Date: Dec 12 2006 3:06 PM thanking MOTHERBOARD
A key truth is that there is a DIVINE PLAN. The future belongs to those that trust in the process and are willing to go with the divine plan. The main tool for understanding this plan is the Mayan calendar.The truth about the Mayan calendar is really not difficult to understand. The problem is only that we have all been conditioned by a materialist mind that makes us look for the ultimate explanations in the material reality rather than in the divine plan. Needless to say, many, especially in the West, have egos that find it difficult to accept that they are subordinated to a divine plan that can not even potentially be manipulated by physical means. - Carl Johan Calleman.2012 Unlimited philosophy1. Humanity and Planet Earth are currently going through a huge change or shift in consciousness and reality perception.2. The Mayan civilization of Central America was and is the most advanced in relation to time-science knowledge. Their main calendar is the most accurate on the planet. It has never erred. They actually have 22 calendars in total, covering the many timing cycles in the Universe and Solar System. Some of these calendars are yet to be revealed.3. The Mayan fifth world finished in 1987. The sixth world starts in 2012. So we are currently "between worlds". This time is called the "Apocalypse" or revealing. This means the real truth will be revealed. It is also the time for us to work through "our stuff" individually and collectively.4. The Mayan sixth world is actually blank. This means it is up to us, as co-creators, to start creating the new world and civilization we want now.5. The Mayans also say that by 2012-- we will have gone beyond technology as we know it.- we will have gone beyond time and money.- we will have entered the fifth dimension after passing through the fourth dimension- Planet Earth and the Solar System will come into galactic synchronization with the rest of the Universe.- Our DNA will be "upgraded" (or reprogrammed) from the centre of our galaxy. (Hunab Ku)"Everbody on this planet is mutating. Some are more conscious of it than others. But everyone is doing it" - Extraterrestrial Earth Mission.6. In 2012 the plane of our Solar System will line up exactly with the plane of our Galaxy, the Milky Way. This cycle has taken 26,000 years to complete. Virgil Armstrong also says that two other galaxies will line up with ours at the same time. A cosmic event!7. Time is actually speeding up (or collapsing). For thousands of years the Schumann Resonance or pulse (heartbeat) of Earth has been 7.83 cycles per second, The military have used this as a very reliable reference. However, since 1980 this resonance has been slowly rising. It is now over 12 cycles per second! This mean there is the equalivant of less than 16 hours per day instead of the old 24 hours. Another intrepetation is - we, or rather Consciousness have been down this same road seven times before over the last 16 billion years. Each of these cycles of Creation runs 20 times faster than the last one. The same amount of Creation is paced 20 times tighter. This is why time seems to be going so fast. It is not "time" but Creation itself that is accelerating. (see Mayan Calendar Central)8. During the Apocalypse or the time "between worlds" many people will be going through many personal changes. The changes will be many and varied. It is all part of what we came here to learn or experience. Examples of change could be- relationships coming to an end, change of residence or location, change of job or work, shift in attitude or thinking etc.9. Remember, in any given moment we are making small and large decisions. Each decision is based on LOVE or FEAR. Choose love, follow your intuition, not intellect and follow your passion or "burning inner desire." Go with the flow.10. Thought forms are very important and affect our everyday life. We create our reality with thought forms. If we think negative thoughts of others this is what we attract. If we think positive thoughts we will attract positive people and events. So be aware of your thoughts and eliminate the unnecessary negative or judgemental ones.11. Be aware that most of the media is controlled by just a few. Use discernment! Look for the hidden agendas. Why is this information being presented to you? What is "their" real agenda? Is it a case of problem­reaction­solution? Do "they" create a problem so that "we" react and ask for a fix, then "they" offer their solution? The "solution is what "they" really wanted in the first place.12. Remember almost nothing happens by accident. Almost all "events" are planned by some agency or other. Despite this, it is a very exciting time to be alive!The truth shall set you free!Are you feeling the Quickening?The Shift of the Ages has already begun!Ancient prophecies predicted it. Indigenous traditions honor it.Changes within the Earth are affecting our sleep patterns, relationships, the ability to regulate your immune system and your perception of time. We are living a process of initiation that was demonstrated over 2,000 years ago, preparing you to accept tremendous change within your body.That change is happening now.SOME POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF THE CHANGES* Migraine headaches, tiredness* Electrical sensations in the limbs and spinal column* Cramps in the muscular networks* Flu like symptoms* Intense dreams.* The human body will become more sensitive as a result of the new vibrations.* The resonance of Earth (Schumann Resonance) has been 7.8Hz for thousands of years. Since 1980 it has risen to over 12Hz.This means that 16 hours now equate to a 24 hour day. Time is speeding up!* The physical body has already begun to change. A new light body is being created.* Our DNA is being re-programmed from the Universe (as predicted in the Mayan Prophecy).We are going from 2 strand back to 12 strand DNA.* Greater intuitive and healing abilities will emerge.* Eyes will become cat like in order to adjust to the new atmosphere and light.* All newly born children will probably be telepathic at birth.* All plagues of the 90's, including AIDS will be gone.To: DNA UpgradesYOU ARE BECOMING A GALACTIC HUMAN !Gods with AmnesiaTo quote from a song by Tom Waits:"Well the moon is brokenAnd the sky is crackedCome on up to the houseThe only things that you can seeIs all that you lackCome on up to the houseAll your cryin' don't do no goodCome on up to the houseCome down off the crossWe can use the woodCome on up to the houseCome on up to the houseCome on up to the houseThe world is not my homeI'm just passin thruCome on up to the house---Does life seem nasty, brutish and shortCome on up to the houseThe seas are stormyAn you can't find no portCome on up to the houseThere's nothin' in the worldThat you can doYou gotta come on up to the houseAnd you been whipped by the forcesThat are inside youCome on up to the houseWell you're high on topOf your mountain of woeCome on up to the houseWell you know you should surrenderBut you can't let goYou gotta come on up to the house"(Waits/Brennan)Published by Jalma Music (ASCAP)Released on Shock Records and Epitaph RecordsDiscernment in 2006 and beyondAs we move into the fourth dimension we are experiencing a shift in consciousness. The fourth dimension is more a state of mind than an actual place. When you are living your life with all of your chakras wide open, and all of those around you are experiencing life in the same way, it will be in the fourth dimension.Discernment applied to different sources of information is becoming of paramount importance.The many agendas for Planet Earth and its inhabitants come from many sources and some are published in the media. Various extraterrestrial sources are talking about many possible scenarios to take place within the next 5 to 10 years. Some are talking about government DNA and mind control, the New World Order by 2003, annihilation from negative ETs etc. Some are talking about the Ascension (Rapture) of many of us, together with Planet Earth, possibly helped by the positive ETs. All these scenarios are possible, depending on your own reality. The message is to follow your heart, your gut feelings and intuition, not your intellect. Be discerning with the feelings and information you process. Does it resonate with you. Work towards healing the planet and yourself and say no to those who wish to control us. Following the Mayan calendar can help free us from the time and money circle, liberate the mind and open the way to the new age beyond time and money.

New Forcast

Editor's Note: This forecast replaces the predictive aspects of this earlier story on the solar flare.
Space weather forecasters revised their predictions for storminess after a major flare erupted on the Sun overnight threatening damage to communication systems and power grids while offering up the wonder of Northern Lights.
"We're looking for very strong, severe geomagnetic storming" to begin probably around mid-day Thursday, Joe Kunches, Lead Forecaster at the NOAA Space Environment Center, told SPACE.com this afternoon.
The storm is expected to generate aurora or Northern Lights, as far south as the northern United States Thursday night. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station are not expected to be put at additional risk, Kunches said.
Radio communications, satellites and power grids could face potential interruptions or damage, however.
Solar flares send radiation to Earth within minutes. Some are also accompanied by coronal mass ejections (CME), clouds of charged particles that arrive in a day or two. This flare unleashed a strong CME that's aimed squarely at Earth.
"It's got all the right stuff," Kunches said.
However, one crucial component to the storm is unknown: its magnetic orientation. If it lines up a certain way with Earth's magnetic field, then the storm essentially pours into our upper atmosphere. If the alignment is otherwise, the storm can pass by the planet with fewer consequences.
Kunches and his team are advising satellite operators and power grid managers to keep an eye on their systems. In the past, CMEs have knocked out satellites and tripped terrestrial power grids. Engineers have learned to limit switching at electricity transfer stations, and satellite operators sometimes reduce operations or make back-up plans in case a craft is damaged.
Another aspect of a CME involves protons that get pushed along by the shock wave. Sometimes these protons break through Earth's protective magnetic field and flood the outer reaches of the atmosphere—where the space station orbits—with radiation. The science of it all is a gray area, Kunches said. But the best guess now is that there will only be a slight increase in proton activity. That's good news for the astronauts.
"When the shock goes by, we don't expect significant radiation issues," he said.
The astronauts were ordered to a protective area of the space station as a precaution last night.
Now that sunspot number 930 has flared so significantly—after several days of being quiet—the forecast calls for a "reasonble chance" of more major flares in coming days, Kunches said.

Incoming

X-CLASS FLARE: geoeffective, target earth! Region 10930 produced a major X3.4/4B proton flare peaking at 02:40 UTC on December 13. 4B is the maximum brightness on the brightness scale and occurs very rarely. Strong type II and IV radio sweeps were recorded and an intense proton storm started at Earth soon after the flare. It is likely that a major very fast Earth directed CME was caused by the flare.
NOAA forecasters estimate a 35% chance of more X-flares today. Sunspot 930 has an unstable "delta-class" magnetic field that could erupt at any moment.

Comet C/ 2006 P1 McNaught

http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/db_shm?sstr=C%2F2006+P1+&group=all&search=SearchDescription:Comet C/2006 P1 McNaught?
THE GREAT SOUTHERN BINOCULAR COMET OF 2007
Closest to Sun: 2007 Jan 12 at 0.17AUClosest to Earth: 2007 Jan 15 at 0.82AUPeak brightness: magnitude 0? on January 12, 2007.Robert McNaught, a professional astronomer conducting the Siding Spring survey (near Coonabarabran NSW) reported his discovery of a new comet on Aug 7, 2006. This was Robert’s 31st find. The magnitude 17 comet was then situated 3 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun. This distance rapidly reduces to 0.17AU from the Sun on January 12, 2007 where the comet is at perihelion, lying within the orbit of Mercury, and appearing at its brightest.Unfortunately, C/2006 P1 is then too close to the Sun for visual observation as it has been since late November 2006. The brightness behaviour of the comet between December to January may not be known until it arrives in the field of view of the orbiting SOHO C3 coronagraph on January 12. The C3 coronagraph has a 16-degree field of view with the Sun located in the centre. It can therefore observe comets that are within 8 degrees elongation from the Sun. During this time, you may be able to download real-time images from the Internet at: http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/realtime_query[shades of Comet V1 http://www.cyberspaceorbit.com/indexback67.html] On Jan 12 at 10:00 UT the comet appears at 11 o'clock position. On Jan 14 at 15:55 UT, the comet is 40' East of Mercury (magnitude -1 for comparison). On Jan 15 at 16:00 UT, the comet disappears at 7 o'clock position.Should the comet appear brighter than Mercury during this time, it is expected to put on a good naked eye showing during late January for Southern Hemisphere observers, as it moves rapidly southwards after perihelion. Should it appear significantly fainter than Mercury, then prospects for a good show drop dramatically!On Jan 15, the comet is closest to the earth at a distance of 0.82AU but it is still only 7 degrees away from the Sun. After sunset however, observers should attempt to view the comets gas (ion) tail as it appears perpendicular to the horizon and, if sufficiently long enough, may be glimpsed from a dark sky site through binoculars!High-end digital cameras are more sensitive to faint light, and attempts to photograph the ion tail are encouraged.By the evening of January 18, the comet has moved sufficiently away from the Sun (15 degrees elongation) and appears very low in the western evening sky after sunset in the constellation of Microscopium. It could appear as bright as magnitude 2. The comet fades rapidly after this but its elongation from the Sun increases as it heads further southward.On January 24, the comet moves into Indus but is still only 27 degrees away from the Sun and a mere 5 degrees above the horizon at the end of astronomical twilight from 35S latitude. The furter south you are the better. It may then have faded to magnitude 4. Unfortunately, moonlight begins to interfere with dark sky viewing until after the full moon of Feb 2, when the comet is then likely to have fallen below naked eye visibility.Comet McNaught appears to be a first time visitor to the inner solar system and could potentially not survive its brush with the Sun. I would also encourage the use of a pair of 7x50 mm binoculars or teelscope to view the comet.

Powerful Magnetic Storm Burns the Earth

The largest electromagnetic energy emission in the last 30 yearshas been recorded on the Sun, the Shernberg State AstronomyInstitute said on Thursday. This energy outburst may damageequipment of space satellites, the scientists say. Doctors warnthat the emission is dangerous for those afflicted with cardiovascularillnesses as well as for healthy people.Scientists at the Shernberg Astronomy Institute of the Moscow StateUniversity have reported record-high emissions of electromagneticenergy on the Sun, the biggest since the 1970s. Over the past few days,the volume of sun radiation, or X9, has exceeded the normal level1,000-fold. The scientists call this phenomenon an anomaly and saythat the Sun is now in a stage when sunspots, sources of highelectromagnetic radiation, are unusual. "Outbursts on the Sun like thishave been extremely infrequent over the past 30 years," said IgorNikulin of the Shernberg Institute. "What is more, we have never had achance to observe such emissions with the sun at its minimal activity."Scientists say that the first indications of increased solar activitywere recorded on Monday when four sunspots appeared on the easternpart of the visible side of the solar disk. First, the scientists observedflashes on the Sun which were classified as moderate. However, theflashes were followed on Tuesday by massive outbursts of electro-magnetic energy. "Such a large cloud of hot plasma has been releasedinto space that even electronic equipment on space satellites may bedamaged," Vladimir Matveev at the Moscow Aviation Institute says.The Sun's electromagnetic anomaly has not reached the Earth yet.However, the Earth is expected to reach the sunspots quite soon. Theencounter may happen this weekend, scientists at the ShternbergAstronomy Institute report. Igor Nikulin says: "If the area of thesunspots does not diminish in three or four days and the emissionscontinue, it may have a serious influence on the magnetic field of theEarth." A cloud of hot plasma from the sunspots will make the Earth'smagnetic field vibrate and will cause a powerful magnetic storm."Doctors recommend their patients to keep to a special regime duringthe magnetic storm. People with cardiovascular illness are believed tobe at a particular risk. However, quite healthy people should be on theirguard as well. "One should not go overboard with drinking, going to thesauna or doing extra work," Vladimir Ryabinin, chief physician at theSklifosovskiy Ambulance Institute, advises. Other doctors suggest thatpeople pay close attention to their health conditions during the daysof the magnetic storm and go to consult their doctors in case ofany problem.

Important Message

Important Message from Byron Richards, CCN – Founder of Wellness Resources, Inc.Dear Friends,As this e-mail reaches you, a Big Pharma-driven campaign is underway to undermine your health freedom and deny your access to therapeutic nutritional supplements. This plan is being implemented under the guise of consumer safety, which is totally false. We must act now, today and tomorrow, to preserve our access to therapeutic nutrition.The bill in question is known as AER (Adverse Event Reporting) legislation (HR.6168/S.3546) It will have the net effect of blaming the debilitating effects of drugs, which kill several thousand Americans a week and send 50,000 Americans per week to the hospital with drug injury, on extremely safe nutritional supplements. This is a Big Pharma ploy to shift blame and run its competition out of business. The author of the bill, Senator Durbin (D-IL), receives the majority of his financial support from law firms that handle Big Pharma and biotech clients. Also, Senator Hatch (R-UT) has now become an enemy of health freedom, and is one of the top recipients of Big Pharma money.On December 6, 2006 (last night), the Senate version of this bill was approved by voice vote. The bill was never debated and no testimony was ever given. This is the work of Durbin, Hatch, Harkin, Kennedy, and Enzi. This is government paid for by Big Pharma and entirely opposed to the will of the people.These horrendous Senators are now applying extreme pressure to the House.IMMEDIATE CONSUMER ACTION IS REQUIRED TODAY TO SAVE YOUR ACCESS TO THERAPEUTIC NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTSThere is a massive campaign by many in the health freedom movement to get the message across and stop this bill in the House. YOUR CALL MATTERS. This is what YOU can do to help:1. Contact Congressman John Boehner, House Majority Leader, tell his office you are strongly opposed to HR. 6168 and do not want Congressman Boehner to put it on the House agenda (he controls this). We know he is being heavily pressured by Hatch to put this on the House suspension calendar, which must not happen.

Violent Christian video game set to be Christmas bestseller

By Ruth Gledhill, Religion Correspondent of The Times
A video game that depicts a crusade of violence by Christians could be heading for the bestseller charts this Christmas, even though it has been condemned by Muslims and secularists.
The game Left Behind: Eternal Forces is set in post-apocalyptic New York and features God's army battling the Antichrist.
NI_MPU('middle');
Based on the bestselling Christian fantasy Left Behind series created by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins, it puts players in command of brainwashed legions fighting the "good fight" for Christianity.
Gamers are ordered to convert or kill in order to re-model America as a Christian-controlled state, and establish its world vision of Christ's dominion over all aspects of life.
Gamers pit battles between the paramilitary Christian Tribulation Force and the grey, faceless Global Community forces of the Antichrist, said to be modelled on the United Nations.
If the Christians fail to convert others to their religion they must kill them in order to progress to the next level, dismissing any other form of religion.
The fantasy is an imagined scenario based on what might happen if the events depicted in the Book of Revelation, the last book of the Bible and the ultimate in theological end games, were to take place today.
Critics accuse its creators of mixing religion and violence to appeal to teenagers hooked on violent games like Grand Theft Auto.
Aimed at 13-plus teenagers and originally sold in the US, where the storyline is based, UK outlets are now releasing the game in time for Christmas. It will capitalise on the success of the Left Behind books, which have sold more than 63 million copies worldwide.
Muslim religious groups have denounced the game as portraying their faith as evil and accused its creators of insulting their creed. Ironically, the conservative Christian lobby has often been most vociferous in its denunciations of on-screen violence.
A spokesperson for the Muslim Association of Britain called for the game to be banned, describing it as evil.
He said: "This game is irresponsible and highly racist. It demonises every other religion which isn't Christianity. People must boycott this violent game.
"It is a game that is prejudiced not just towards Muslims but every other religion which is not Christianity.
"Games like this poison the minds of young people and we urge people to boycott it."
Terry Sanderson, President of the National Secular Society, said: "Fundamentalists on both the Christian and the Muslim side are creating this kind of nasty, extreme propaganda and aiming it at young people.
"Parents need to be on their guard. I'm not into banning things or censoring them, but I think most Muslims and most Christians would recognise that this is crude and despicable hate-mongering and give it a wide berth. It is up to parents to ensure that their children are not exposed to this loathsome trash."
Anti-Racist campaigner John Hutson, who has written a number of books on bridging the faith divide, fears the game will foster prejudice and should have never been given a certificate for release in the UK.
NI_MPU('middle');
He said: "This game is the most dangerous and horrific ever to be produced.
"In the game you are armed with a selection of military weapons and set the task of converting Catholics, Jews, Muslims and Buddhists to fundamental Christianity.
"If you fail to convert other religions you are forced to take them out with extreme prejudice.
"It is a violent, racist game which should never have been released."
Creators Left Behind Games have dismissed the criticism, saying the religious storyline in the game is not taken from the bible and is a creation of the Left Behind authors which should not be taken seriously.
Troy A. Lyndon, Left Behind Games Chief Executive, said: "The game is designed to be a classic battle between good and evil.
"We have deliberately censored the blood and it does not gratuitously depict death or violence.
"Left Behind is not taken from the Bible, it is a fictional story.
"In the initial missions, there is little emphasis on physical warfare and gamers are introduced to powers of influence which result in a battle for the hearts and minds of people."
The game was released in the US on September 9 and was released in the UK on November 14.

THE GREAT 1947 SUNSPOT, ROSWELL, and CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS

What caused the UFO Crash?

The largest sunspot ever recorded.**
It stayed active for months in 1947.

However, in Roswell Incident Updated, the bio-searcher makes the case that the object that went down is not necessarily extraterrestrial --- although it could be --- but in his estimation, primarily because of questions raised by the Drake Equation and similar or like scenarios, most likely a product of a TIME WARP, or similarly, although not quoted by him, a WORMHOLE.

If you follow the thread on the bio-searcher you will find he knew Albert Einstein. Through that association, in his own way, not only was the bio-searcher familar with Einstein's theories of relativity but, for a layperson, quite well versed in them. Using insights into the theories he comes up with an answer to the object's origin similar to Wernher von Braun’s mentor, mathematician and physicist, Dr. Hermann Oberth who suggests, albeit some years later, that the Roswell craft should not be considered a spacecraft but a Time Machine.

L.E.A.P. : Law Enforcement Against Prohibition
COPS SAY LEGALIZE DRUGS!
The stated goals of current U.S.drug policy -- reducing crime, drug addiction, and juvenile drug use -- have not been achieved, even after nearly four decades of a policy of "war on drugs". This policy, fueled by over a trillion of our tax dollars has had little or no effect on the levels of drug addiction among our fellow citizens, but has instead resulted in a tremendous increase in crime and in the numbers of Americans in our prisons and jails. With 4.6% of the world's population, America today has 22.5% of the worlds prisoners. But, after all that time, after all the destroyed lives and after all the wasted resources, prohibited drugs today are cheaper, stronger, and easier to get than they were thirty-five years ago at the beginning of the so-called "war on drugs".
With this in mind, we current and former members of law enforcement have created a drug-policy reform movement -- LEAP. We believe that to save lives and lower the rates of disease, crime and addiction. as well as to conserve tax dollars, we must end drug prohibition. LEAP believes that a system of regulation and control of production and distribution will be far more effective and ethical that one of prohibition.
We do this in hopes that we in Law Enforcement can regain the public's respect and trust, which have been greatly diminished by our involvement in imposing drug prohibition. Please consider joining us. You don't have to be a cop to join LEAP!
Find out more about us by reading some of the articles in our Publications section or by watching and listening to some of our multimedia clips,. You can also read about the men and women who speak for LEAP, and see what we have on the calendar for the near future.
"Anyone concerned about the failure of our $69 billion-a-year War on Drugs should watch this 12-minute program. You will meet front line, ranking police officers who give us a devastating report on why it cannot work. It is a must-see for any journalist or public official dealing with this issue." HERE

Water on Mars What we already Knew

The changing appearance of gullies on Mars over the last seven years suggests that liquid water flowed recently on the Red Planet and may still seep out in brief bursts, researchers said Wednesday.
In what is billed as "the squirting gun," new images of known gullies on Mars show evidence of new flows and deposits, pointing to explosive events in which some form of water burst from crater walls and ran down their slopes.
"We've had this story of ancient water on Mars," researcher Kenneth Edgett, who participated in the Mars gully study, said during a news briefing at NASA's Washington headquarters. "Today we're talking about liquid water that is present on Mars right now."

Dec. 6th Thought for the day

With every experience, you alone are painting your own canvas, thought by thought, choice by choice.


WILL there really be a morning?Is there such a thing as day?Could I see it from the mountains If I were as tall as they? Has it feet like water-lilies?Has it feathers like a bird?Is it brought from famous countriesOf which I have never heard? Oh, some scholar! Oh, some sailor!Oh, some wise man from the skies!Please to tell a little pilgrim Where the place called morning lies!

X9 FLARE! X9-class solar flare 12/5/06 at 1035 UT. The source: big, new sunspot 929
Avid Solwatch on!
MAJOR FLARE: Earth-orbiting satellites detected a major X9-class solar flare this morning at 1035 UT (5:35 a.m. EST). The source: big, new sunspot 929, which is emerging over the Sun's eastern limb.
Because of the sunspot's location near the limb, the flare was not Earth-directed. Future eruptions could be, however, because the Sun's spin is turning the spot toward Earth. Sunspot 929 will be visible for the next two weeks as it glides across the solar disk.
