Ah, poor Rummy. Not only is he out on his ass, but he had to cancel his trip to Germany in February to attend the Munich Conference on Security Policy, what with that pesky old war crimes complaint in the German courts against him, and his being currently under investigation by the federal prosecutor’s office in Karlsruhe. Well, maybe he can hang out and drink Schnapps with Henry Kissinger, and reflect upon the irony of being too big of a war criminal to go back to the Fatherland. Ach du liebe Zeit!

WASHINGTON (AP) – Immigrants arrested in the United States may be held indefinitely on suspicion of terrorism and may not challenge their imprisonment in civilian courts, the Bush administration said Monday, opening a new legal front in the fight over the rights of detainees.
In court documents filed with the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., the Justice Department said a new anti-terrorism law being used to hold detainees in Guantanamo Bay also applies to foreigners captured and held in the United States.
Ali Saleh Kahlah Al-Marri, a citizen of Qatar, was arrested in 2001 while studying in the United States. He has been labeled an “enemy combatant,” a designation that, under a law signed last month, strips foreigners of the right to challenge their detention in federal courts.
That law is being used to argue the Guantanamo Bay cases, but Al-Marri represents the first detainee inside the United States to come under the new law. Aliens normally have the right to contest their imprisonment, such as when they are arrested on immigration violations or for other crimes. “It’s pretty stunning that any alien living in the United States can be denied this right,” said Jonathan Hafetz, an attorney for Al-Marri. “It means any non-citizen, and there are millions of them, can be whisked off at night and be put in detention.”

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 — As Israeli bombs fell on Lebanon for a second week last July, the Rev. John Hagee of San Antonio arrived in Washington with 3,500 evangelicals for the first annual conference of his newly founded organization, Christians United For Israel.
At a dinner addressed by the Israeli ambassador, a handful of Republican senators and the chairman of the Republican Party, Mr. Hagee read greetings from President Bush and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of Israel and dispatched the crowd with a message for their representatives in Congress. Tell them “to let Israel do their job” of destroying the Lebanese militia, Hezbollah, Mr. Hagee said.
He called the conflict “a battle between good and evil” and said support for Israel was “God’s foreign policy.”
The next day he took the same message to the White House.
Many conservative Christians say they believe that the president’s support for Israel fulfills a biblical injunction to protect the Jewish state, which some of them think will play a pivotal role in the second coming. Many on the left, in turn, fear that such theology may influence decisions the administration makes toward Israel and the Middle East.

Comcast pulls plug on English language Al-Jazeera
Yanked by yanks
Comcast backs away from Arab net
By ALI JAAFAR
LONDON — Al-Jazeera Intl. has all but conceded defeat in its effort to gain U.S. distribution in time for its worldwide launch Wednesday.
Execs at the nascent English-language offshoot of the Arab broadcaster said Comcast Communications pulled the plug on talks Monday on a deal the net considered essential to gaining a beachhead in the U.S.
The Associated Press last week reported Comcast had pulled out of talks but, in fact, negotiations continued, with Comcast offering to roll out the channel regionally. Comcast is the dominant operator in the Detroit area, which has one of the nation’s largest Arab-American populations.
But AJI execs were holding out for a full rollout across all of Comcast’s 12.1 million digital subscribers (Comcast has 24 million digital and analog subs), and they believed a deal was imminent.
“We thought we were just awaiting signatures. We feel like we’ve been led down the garden path. It’s a setback for us in the States, but I don’t want this to overshadow the fact we’ve had phenomenal figures in the rest of the world,” said one AJI employee who insisted on anonymity.
Sources within AJI speculated the reasons for the pullout had to do with U.S. uncertainty about Al-Jazeera’s editorial agenda. Negative portrayals of the situation in Iraq are widely thought to have contributed to the Democratic sweep of the midterm elections.

Neoconservatives: New Bush Advisers Will Raise White Flag in Middle East
WASHINGTON — President Bush’s nomination of Robert Gates to be secretary of defense and other recent administration moves have raised concerns and even open disdain among some members of the “neo-conservative” wing of the Republican Party, the president’s most ardent war supporters.
The neo-cons say installing Gates, a career CIA analyst who served as the agency’s director for two years under President George H.W. Bush, takes the administration one step closer toward repudiation of the once hailed “Bush Doctrine.”
“What’s happening here is essentially the end of the administration as we’ve known it,” said Frank Gaffney, head of the Center for Security Policy and neo-conservative commentator.
“Pretty clearly, it signals a return to the ‘Bush 41’ policy,” said Kenneth Timmerman, who heads the Foundation for the Democracy of Iran, which he founded with other prominent neo-conservatives in 1995.

Bush trip inflames House
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta
(House Speaker) Agung had barely finished his speech when a number of lawmakers started to raise their hands to deliver fiery statements objecting to Bush’s visit.
Legislator Fahri Hamzah of the Muslim-based Prosperous Justice Party said the House should take a firm stance against the visit.
“But before we decide on our rejection, we should name him a war criminal,” Fahri said to cries from fellow lawmakers, back after a two-week recess. A number of legislators then proposed that the House hold a vote on the issue.
Agung brushed aside the demand and returned to his speech.
Protests against Bush have been escalating in some parts of the country ahead of his arrival. On Monday, dozens of students in Bogor staged a rally to protest the visit. “Bush should be treated like a war criminal because of his actions in Iraq and Afghanistan,” a protester was quoted by the Associated Press as saying.

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) – A U.S. defense chief called for closer military ties with China and for the two powers to shed “Cold War” thinking on Tuesday as he highlighted a recent naval encounter that could have gone wrong. The chief of U.S. forces in the Pacific, Admiral William J. Fallon, was asked to confirm a U.S. newspaper report of an uncomfortably close encounter between U.S. warships and a Chinese submarine in the Pacific last month.
Confirming the gist of the Washington Times report, Fallon said the submarine had been detected at close quarters by an aircraft carrier and its accompanying warships.
The Washington Times said the submarine had stalked the USS Kitty Hawk and surfaced within range of its torpedoes and missiles in “ocean waters” near the Japanese island of Okinawa. “The characterization of stalking an aircraft carrier is rather sensational and I think it’s probably not close to being accurate,” Fallon told reporters in Malaysia, where he is attending an annual meeting of Asia-Pacific defense chiefs.
He did not give more details but said the encounter showed why he was pushing for better military ties with China….

happy and peppy and dancing with Joy! :tongue: (ommmm letter from Marc in my mailbox) Hi Roxie…
if it’s possible at all, why not the past? If anything I’d say going to the past was more likely than the future, since what happened happened. The future is less likely because it can be shaped in so many directions. Actually if you don’t see time as a straight line lots of things are possible. Just to let you know I’m a crazily obsessed sci fi reader (or was until recently when I had less time to read any kind of fiction)…
WASHINGTON – Animal rights advocates who threaten scientists conducting animal research or companies funding or affiliated with it could be fined and imprisoned under a bill the House passed Monday and sent to President Bush.
Current federal law makes it illegal for activists to damage animal research organizations, farms, zoos, pet stores and other similar operations.
The legislation extends those prohibitions to interfering with third-party organizations such as insurance companies, law firms and investment houses that do business with so-called animal enterprises. Supporters said the bill is aimed at protecting people and companies from animal rights terrorists.
“I am not for anyone abusing their … rights by damaging another person’s property or person,” said Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio. “But I am for protecting the First Amendment and not creating a special class of violations for a specific type of protest.”

why not? They just came out with a cloaking device. (To beat the Klingons…or Rethugs) . Sci fi is tomorrow’s science anyway.
Some of the considerations about going to Mars are that with Ion engine propulsion one could achieve very hight velocities which could approach the speed of light .. As that happens time relative to earth collapses so that one week to the space traveler might be equal to two years or more on earth. When the crew returned in five years or so in there time frame centuries could have passed on earth. 😮
So I guess that’s equivalent to going forward in time but it takes a while:eek:

Election Alters Trade Climate
Democrats Eye Environmental, Labor Clauses
By Peter S. Goodman
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, November 14, 2006; Page D01
As Democrats prepare to take control of Congress, incoming leaders are planning to insert labor and environmental protections into pending trade treaties and to demand that the Bush administration adopt similar measures in future pacts it negotiates, congressional aides and government officials said yesterday.
The Democrats plan to insert restrictive provisions into two pending trade deals with Peru and Colombia, measures that would limit duty-free access to the U.S. market for goods made in those countries if factories are found to use child labor or deny workers the right to organize unions.
Republicans have historically opposed restrictive provisions in treaties as against the interests of U.S. business and consumers. President Bush has already signed the Peru accord and is expected to sign the Colombia treaty this month. Democrats plan to take a similar approach to deals still being negotiated by the United States trade representative with South Korea, Malaysia and Panama, Capitol Hill aides said.

They have to understand that “free trade” is bunch of BS and get out of these treaties entirely or bad things will happen :gate::omg::jason::jason:
if you leave here going at the speed of light and come back time here would still be moving at the same speed so you would come back later than when you left anyway or something……
yep so then future would be possible but what about the past? i dont think the past is possible……
Yeah Sean nice white Southern Boys are never vulgar or raciest ( insert sarcasm emo here):yuck:
Now let’s say you want to do some time travelling. You board a spaceship and take off for deep space.
The ship approaches the speed of light. Time for you seems to pass as it always has. It takes you about five seconds to tie your shoe. But to an observer on Earth (assuming he or she could watch you), you are moving at a snail’s pace. It takes hours to tie your shoe.
Anyway, you continue on your journey. You slow down, stop, and accelerate back to Earth. You arrive home. You have aged two years during your flight. Two hundred years have passed on Earth. You have successfully travelled forward through time.
Now you want to go back? Sorry. According to relativity, you can only move through time in one direction.
You have to go faster than the speed of light to get to the past .since you have to pass the photons that describe what happened on earth in the past. At the moment we don’t know how to do that .. Einstein says its is not possible.:eek:
In order to travel to other solar systems without taking your family with you so you can survive as a species for the six generations it takes to get there one would have to go faster than the speed of light ..
this is from my astrophysicist friend…………
thats a tough question, in theory time travel is possible… since CPT invariance must be true… but there are major problems..
going faster than light would take you back in time, but.. at the same time, approaching the speed of light would slow you down, causing more time to pass for those not moving at that speed
going FTL however is impossible for particles that already move slower than the speed of light.
thus, yeah future is possible at the moment, but not thother way around.. people who go into space come back a few seconds younger than the rest of us…
its basic relativity really
OK, let me see if I have this right. Feingold is not a viable presidential candidate because he’s been divorced twice, but Guiliani invites his mistress into Gracie Mansion before he’s divorced from HIS second wife, and that’s OK because he has the ultimate get-out-of-jail-free card in 9/11.
It sucks that the MSM is so bereft of journalistic integrity that no one is willing to even mention this. Granted, number of marriages/divorces should be next to irrelevant, but the rules should be the same for both sides.
That piece of Wisconsin cheese that Feingold mentioned is starting to look like quite a viable candidate.
:rofl2:
In 1830 going much faster than 30 miles an hour was impossible too. String theory seems to say that there are multiple dimensions.. Who knows what happens in another dimension…
One has to separate the mathematical models from the reality of what they are describing too. Mathematics is a way to understand the physical phenomenon but it is really only that a model good for only a first and/or second order approximation.:eek:
actually marriage/divorces should matter doubly for the repuke since they are the ones so concerned with the “sanctity”

Judith Miller, a former New York Times investigative reporter who went to jail to protect a confidential source, said the balance between national security and civil liberties has been tipped, allowing the Bush administration to become secretive about its decisions, intrusive into public lives and reluctant to share information the public has a right to know.
Miller said many Americans don’t understand how their access to information and the freedom of the press have been affected in the past few years.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) – President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday said Iran would
soon celebrate completion of its controversial nuclear fuel program.
“With the wisdom and resistance of the nation, today our position has stabilized.
I’m very hopeful that we will be able to hold the big celebration of Iran’s full
nuclearization in the current year,” the hard-line president told reporters during
a press conference.
Iran’s current calendar year ends on March 20.
The hard-line president also claimed that international community was caving it
to Tehran’s demand for a nuclear program. He did not elaborate.
The U.S. and some of its allies allege that Iran is developing nuclear weapons.
But Tehran claims its program is peaceful and for generating electricity.

I actually used to watch General Hospital way back, when Lucille was the nurse at the desk, Jessie Brewer was the “head” nurse, and of course her heartthrob was Dr. Steve Hardy (played by a John Beradino, who played major league baseball for the St. Louis Browns, Cleveland Indians, and Pittsburgh Pirates).

I think that the Internet – if they can restore Net Neutrality – will be the thing that restores the “airwaves” to the people. If you look at the Shoutcast directory, right now there are over 16,000 servers running (and that doesn’t count the private ones) right at the moment – most of them homegrown “pirate” radio – with over 300,000 listeners.

Yeah, it came on the air in 1963, I think, which is probably just a bit before I can actually remember anything (though I have some very early memories). Used to watch GH with my mom, ‘cuz that’s what she watched. Back in the olden days, there wasn’t a TV in every room, and there were only a few stations on the teevee. And not every show was broadcast in “living color,” which wouldn’t have mattered much to me, since it was a few years before we got our big old Zenith color console (delivered on a Saturday morning; the first show I saw in color was the Banana Splits, directed by Richard Donner, of all people). God, it was like magic to go from a little b&w portable to that color Zenith….

We didn’t get a color set until ’73 or ’74 I think.

Sheehan, others form group, rally for impeachment
Christian Avard
Published: Monday November 13, 2006
A coalition of national organizations and political leaders announced plans this weekend to launch a national movement for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney, RAW STORY has learned.
The organizers of ImpeachForChange held a press conference Saturday, along with an impeachment rally to pressure the new Democratic majority for investigations into impeachment. The events took place at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, just across from Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution were signed.

Hey, Fred, what warning message are you getting in IE7? I don’t get anything like that.
Your security setting level puts your computer at risk
We recommend that you do not browse the web with your current security settings.

PG, You are definitely in one of my few others who keep the MS flame burning.
OK, well, according to Einstein (and as has been proven now, thanks to ultra-accurate atomic clocks), as you approach the speed of light, time slows down. So, if you could surpass the speed of light, it’s possible that you could travel back in time. Problem is, as your speed increases, so does your relativistic mass. At the speed of light, your relativistic mass becomes infinite, and it is currently thought to be impossible to accelerate an infinite mass beyond the speed of light, which is why that is (currently) considered to be the cosmic speed limit. So, travel to the past is somewhat problematic at this point in time (so to speak).
Now, traveling to to the future is not only possible, but we’re doign it all the time. The trick is to travel at a rate faster than what we’re all doing right now. One way would be to accelerate yourself to near light speed, thereby slowing your own time down, and then coming back to rest. When you stop, you’d be in the “future,” at least relative where you started.
Of course, there are other possible mechanisms as well (worm hole, parallel universes, alternate dimensions, etc.). And none of that addresses what happens if we are able to ascend to a state of being beyond the linear human forms we’re all in right now. There are those who think that’s really the way we exist, but that this form is just a manifestation set up by our higher selves in order to experience the joys (and not so joys) of a physical being. Others think that in between lives, we exist in that higher state – or “a” higher state, as we contemplate upon our past lives, and choose the life to be born into next, in order to work on the things that we need to work on to evolve to the next state of being.
I don’t have windows firewall turned on, either, but I don’t get that message. If you’re the adventurous sort, try editing the registry. GO to this key:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\INTERNATIONAL\IDN_INFOBAR
And change Default Value from 0 to 1. See what that does for ya.
Of course, for everyone out there, editing your registry can render your computer unusable, so if you don’t feel comfortable doing it and don’t understand how to back up and restore your registry and/or know what to do when your computer won’t boot, then please don’t mess with it. You’ll be on your own.
Ok PJ the stream is maxed out where do we send money for more bandwidth?:tongue:
I found that fix in MS techtips but my registry does not have that key.
I can up the number of simultaneous listeners, but I have to reload the config, which requires a restart of the Shoutcast server. I’d hoped to find a time when there weren’t so many people connected, but it’s been at or near the max since Marc’s e-mail last night.
So what are your IE security settings set at?
OK, well, sorry everybody that was connected, but I restarted things, and upped it to 25 connections. That’s about 65% of my upstream bandwidth.
It gives you the option of fixing it for you and all I could see that it did was turn on the local firewall..The default security value is medium. IS does all there admin by magic during the night and sent me a nasty gram about having the firewall enabled so I turned it off and the message came back .. :growl::growl::growl:
So if you click on the home button instead of the fix settings button, it still comes back? There must be some group policy setting the IS boys and gals can change. If you can get ’em to listen to you, that is.

Packrats, which look like brown squirrels with Dumbo ears, are skilled home builders, and their massive nests, known as middens, can last 10,000 to 20,000 years (though they are not usually inhabited the entire time).
For that reason, the middens serve as time capsules of desert ecology. By analyzing preserved ancient plants and scat from a variety of middens dating back 12,000 years, Dr. Cole recently proved that a miniature ice age known as the Younger Dryas, long thought to have been confined to the North Atlantic, was also felt in the American Southwest.

ABC: Abramoff set to turn in Dem senators, Rove
RAW STORY
Published: Tuesday November 14, 2006
The Abramoff investigation continues, according to ABC news, with the convicted former lobbyist set to provide information about several Democratic senators and presidential adviser Karl Rove.
However, Abramoff’s move to prison tomorrow is likely to slow investigator’s access to his information.
Relevant excerpt from the ABC story follows.
#
Sources close to the investigation say Abramoff has provided information on his dealings with and campaign contributions and gifts to “dozens of members of Congress and staff,” including what Abramoff has reportedly described as “six to eight seriously corrupt Democratic senators.”
The sources say Abramoff was about to provide information about Bush administration officials, including Karl Rove, “accepting things of value” from Abramoff.
Rove has denied any wrongdoing in his dealings with Abramoff. But the lobbyist visited the White House at least seven times, according to Secret Service logs obtained by Judicial Watch

US, Saudi, China rank among worst on climate change: group
NAIROBI (AFP) – Oil-consuming giants the United States and China along with oil-producing behemoth Saudi Arabia rank among the world’s worst countries in dealing wth climate change, a report said.
Their dependence on fossil fuels coupled with what some see as short-sighted energy policies earned them the dubious distinction of placing at or near the bottom of a survey of 56 industrialized or industrializing nations, it said.
The United States, the world’s leading polluter, ranked 53 in the annual study by Germanwatch, a German environmental group, released here on the sidelines of a UN climate change conference.
Saudi Arabia placed dead last, while China fell from 29 on last year’s list to 54, according to the survey based on an evaluation of greenhouse gas emissions and climate policy, it said.

I live just south of Philly. Now if you’re travelling up I-95 and need a place to stop, give me a shout.
Word on the street:
[…]The electorate has spoken. But it is worth noting that the Watergate scandal, while ending Nixon’s presidency, did not lead to a seismic shift leftward in the political climate. On the contrary, U.S. politics moved decisively rightward in the following years, as the mass social movements of the 1960s and early 1970s pinned their hopes on the Democratic Party to spearhead social change. As it turned out, the Democrats responded to corporate pressures to tack rightward, leading eventually to our present predicament.
We should not repeat the mistakes of that past generation of leftists. The Democrats, like the Republicans, must respond to mass voter discontent. But their shared goal is a return to politics-as-usual.
The Democrats will not deliver an end to the Iraq war without substantial pressure from below. And that requires large-scale, grass-roots struggle. This should be a wakeup call to everyone who wants an end to the Iraq war, a raise in the minimum wage, a step forward for immigrants’ rights-and an end to politics-as-usual in Washington. The door for social change is opening, but we must take action to achieve it.

Global warming could wipe out most birds — WWF
Mon 13 Nov 2006 7:01 PM ET
By Daniel Wallis
NAIROBI, Nov 14 (Reuters) – Unchecked climate change could drive up to 72 per cent of the world’s bird species into extinction but the world still has a chance to limit the losses, conservation group WWF said in a report on Tuesday.
From migratory insect-eaters to tropical honeycreepers and cold water penguins, birds are highly sensitive to changing weather conditions and many are already being affected badly by global warming, the new study said.
“Birds are the quintessential ‘canaries in the coal mine’ and are already responding to current levels of climate change,” said the report, launched at a United Nations conference in Kenya on ways to slow warming.
“Birds now indicate that global warming has set in motion a powerful chain of effects in ecosystems worldwide,” WWF said.

I would give the demodrps a little leaway on Iraq They can’t do anything until they can do something.. On the other hand ..they know that no one is going to screw up the feeding for at least two years .. unless a bunch of special elections happen to take place.:yuck::crap::rant1:
Why is it in the SBR’s election process you always find out about the improprieties of the people you elect to office the week after the election..One would think that with a left sided media they would do a little less ranting and a bit more research.. yeah I know words are cheap..:crap::crap::rant1:
I would like to know how one applies substantial pressure from below.. I think the voter gets put on ignore ten minutes after the votes are counted… Since you can’t recall them the only way you can apply pressure is to convict them or go that special elections route.:crap::crap::eek::rant1:
of course fred how else could impeachment be “off the table”
Comparing ending the war in Iraq to ending the war in Vietnam is not a good comparison.. Most of the world looked upon the advance of communism as a problem and the SBR was dealt a decisive and embarrassing blow by not being able to defeat an insurgency ( even though it was supplied and manned to a large extent by a recognized country)
Iraq is seen by everyone except the stupids in the SBR as a bad idea with little justification manifested by a great deal of corruption and war profiteering.. leaving Iraq will do little for the worlds opinion of the SBR in that it is zero zip , nada ( aka rock bottom) already.:crap::eek::yuck:

Hoyer targets liberals after Pelosi’s blow
By Josephine Hearn
A day after Speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) endorsed his rival, Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) moved to shore up support among liberal lawmakers who usually take their cues from Pelosi.
Six Hoyer supporters wrote to the 58-member Congressional Progressive Caucus Monday, urging them to support Hoyer over Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) for the post of majority leader and arguing that Pelosi and Hoyer would be an effective team in spite of her endorsement.
“Steny has worked very well with Nancy and our entire leadership team, and their efforts have helped our Caucus achieve greater unity than at any time in the last half century,” wrote Progressive Caucus Reps. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), José Serrano (D-N.Y.), Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) and Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.).
The lawmakers’ support also underscored Hoyer’s liberal bona fides on such issues as abortion rights and environmental protection, key areas where Hoyer and Murtha differ.

Ploser endorsing Murtha has both good and bad points but not appearing to be united is probably worse than who you choose to be the House Majority leader.

Iraq hostages ‘freed by police’
All of the hostages seized in a raid by gunmen on a Baghdad higher education facility have been released, Iraqi officials say.
A government spokesman told the BBC that the hostages were freed in a number of police raids across the city.
Gunmen dressed in uniforms similar to those worn by Iraqi police abducted dozens of people.
Five top officers were later arrested – including the police chief of Karrada district where the abductions occurred.

I was just surprised that he didn’t call me Paul. I bumped it up to 25 connections, and only hit the max a couple of times. Hopefully not all of the 4,000 people on his e-mail list will try to connect at once.
would that cause a huge explosion?…..
It would be so great to attach to his website…give him a button or something….
Actually, he asked me about linking to the stream directly from his new website (he has a new developer, who he copied on the e-mail), so I gave him a link.
No, no ‘splosions. It’s just limited to 25 connections right now. I can probably go to 30 – maybe a few more. Above that, and I’d have to host it someplace else, though it could actually be relayed to other places. Kind of a grassroots radio network. But, I expect interest will drop off, and the 25 seems to be working out for now.
Watching “The Day the Earth Stood Still” (again) right now. A classic movie, of course, but it’s kinda cool to watch it after having spent a summer living in DC (if you’re not familiar with the movie, it takes place in Washington), ‘cuz I recognize all the places in it – even if it is over 50 years old.
