Schuss' Run

Yet again Pat voiced his best thought!! One day there might be no religion discrepancies, it could be solved with education, in about two more centuries, when all people will abandon RELIGION and its propaganda in every nomination!!!!

Religion is just a put-down to other religion, just look at all the wars about it!! In this century, you and I will never see it gone, but maybe sometimes in the future some people on this planet will live in peace without it!!

Do people have to be into a radical religion abiding to Iran's credo? As a woman the USA and UK leaders let me be an Atheist or an Agnostic if I want to, but radical Islamist doesn't... why do Ayatollah believers kill and terrorize their own women if they do not obey their clergy? WHY? Why all the violence in Iran when they wanted to get another leader?

Demo and geographically -- Israel is far too small of a country to HOUSE a huge NUKE PLANT!!

People like the Iranian and the Libyan president should be locked up, they spread lies, chaos, and hatred not thinking about their own people!!

Ahmadinejad: Nuke plan has medical purposes

WASHINGTON – On the backdrop of his fiery UN General Assembly speech and the dispute over Tehran's nuclear program, the Iranian president says he wants to cure the world. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has stated that he is willing to have Iranian nuclear experts meet with their American counterparts and experts from other countries involved in talks on the nuclear issue.

Ahmadinejad spoke Wednesday with editors and reporters of the Washington Post and Newsweek magazine. He said he would examine whether US President Barack Obama's intentions of hold a real dialogue are serious. "I think it is a very solid proposal which gives a good opportunity for a start," he said.

The organisation that helps people to get well during war and epidemics is called: Médecins Sans Frontières

"DOCTOR WITHOUT BORDER" is a secular humanitarian-aid non-governmental organization best known for its projects in war-torn regions and developing countries facing endemic disease.

Médecins Sans Frontières was created in 1971 by a small group of French doctors in the aftermath of the BIAFRA secession, who believed that all people have the right to medical care regardless of race, religion, creed or political affiliation, and that the needs of these people supersede respect for national borders.

An international medical and humanitarian aid organization.

For God's sake does a partially visible breast offend people that much? There are more offensive things we see in pools than just a breast…like G-string bikinis and transparent bathing suits that roam the public pools relentlessly. Will there be any rules against those fashion glitches? Talk about a sight for raw meat on display! I breastfeed my 2 daughters everywhere and I never had a problem, because I did it discretely, it's just a breast, men, women, we all got it...

However there’s greater concern on what kind of mother would subject her infant to the vulnerability of public pool water? It’s not clean water as they say...

Nice bum, but...

Mothers plan breastfeeding protest in Calgary pool

Last Updated: Friday, April 3, 2009 | 10:57 AM MT

CBC News

A group of mothers plan to breastfeed in a Calgary pool Sunday morning to protest what they are calling harassment from lifeguards.

The women say it's their right to breastfeed wherever they want to, but the lifeguards at the southwest Killarney pool have asked them to get out of the water or use the change rooms for nursing.

Gemma Kelsall takes her two children to the pool every Thursday morning where they meet up with other families. If her 21-month-old Kaliya gets hungry, they don't leave the pool to breastfeed.

But lifeguards have told her she is not allowed to breastfeed in the water, she said.

Fish 'an ally' against climate change

13:02 16 January 2009 by Catherine Brahic

An unlikely ally may have been found in the fight against the effects of climate change. Fish excretions seem to play a key role in maintaining the ocean's delicate pH balance, says a study that also reveals that there are 2 billion tonnes of fish in the world's oceans.

Bony fish excrete lumps of calcium carbonate, known as "gut rocks" which are thought to dissolve in the upper layers of the ocean. A team led by Rod Wilson of the University of Exeter in the UK has now shown that the sheer amount of gut rocks produced plays a key role in buffering the carbon dioxide that acidifies seawater.

"This study really is the first glimpse of the huge impact fish have on our carbon cycle - and why we need them in the ocean," says Wilson's colleague Villy Christensen of the University of British Columbia in Canada.

Protective role

While marine biologists have known for some time that fish produce gut rocks, until now no-one had estimated just how much calcium carbonate is spewed out into the ocean in this way.

It was widely believed that most marine carbonate is provided by the external skeletons of marine plankton. These microscopic organisms are likely to be hard hit as climate change increases the acidity of the oceans and their skeletons literally dissolve away.

The new study reveals that fish play an important role in stopping this from happening.

The researchers used two different models to estimate the amount of fish biomass that is in the global oceans, and its distribution.

By drinking salt water, fish ingest a lot of calcium, and they excrete more or less calcium carbonate depending on their size and the temperature of the water. "For a given total mass of fish, smaller fish produce more than bigger fish, and fish at higher temperatures produce more than fish at lower temperatures," explains Wilso

Gunboat diplomacy rules seas

December 29, 2007

Australia's deployment of an armed ship to monitor whaling is part of a bigger political picture, writes Andrew Darby.

Take a group of fit young paramilitary Australians, give them a need to let off steam while they policed a beat in the vast Southern Ocean, and a big ship to do it on.

What did they come up with? Dodgeball.

In a former life, the Australian fisheries patrol ship Oceanic Viking, now tasked with chasing Japanese whalers, was a cable layer. It carried long lines of undersea cable, coiled in tall cylindrical holds amidships.

Australia will not send a fisheries patrol ship this year to shadow Japanese whalers and protests near Antarctica, the government said on Friday, appealing for activists to keep high seas protests peaceful.
