[CTRL] An Alternative Program for the Global Economy | Brecher | Z Commentary
-Caveat Lector- Subject: ZNet Commentary / Jeremy Brecher / Global Econ Program / Dec 18 Date:Sun, 17 Dec 2000 18:00:48 -0800 From:"Michael Albert" [EMAIL PROTECTED] For December the ZNet (http://www.zmag.org) Daily Commentaries, ordinarily available only to ZNet Sustainers, are also being sent to all 44,000 ZNet Free Update recipients. Draft of an Alternative Program for the Global Economy By Jeremy Brecher, Tim Costello, and Brendan Smith [Note: This is based on the authors new book GLOBALIZATION FROM BELOW: THE POWER OF SOLIDARITY (Cambridge: South End Press, 2000. http://www.southendpress.org/books/global.shtml. 800/533-8478. Visit the authors web site at www.villageorpillage.org] Commenting on the Battle of Seattle, Newsweek wrote, "One of the most important lessons of Seattle is that there are now two visions of globalization on offer, one led by commerce, one by social activism." Globalization from below's vision has been articulated in scores of international statements and above all in the movement's own actions. The following summary is designed to provide a win-win framework for the many constituencies converging into globalization from below, providing ways that their needs, concerns, and interests can be complementary rather than contradictory. 1. Level labor, environmental, social, and human rights conditions upward. Globalization from above is creating a race to the bottom, an economic war of all against all in which each workforce, community, and country is forced to compete by offering lower labor, social, environmental, and human rights conditions. The result is impoverishment, inequality, volatility, degradation of democracy, and environmental destruction. Halting the race to the bottom requires raising labor, environmental, social, and human rights conditions for those at the bottom. Such upward leveling can start with specific struggles to raise conditions for those who are being driven downward. Ultimately, minimum environmental, labor, social, and human rights standards must be incorporated in national and international law. Such standards protect communities and countries from the pressure to compete by sacrificing their rights and environment. Rising conditions for those at the bottom can also expand employment and markets and generate a virtuous circle of economic growth. 2. Democratize institutions at every level from local to global. Globalization from above has restricted the power of self-government for people all over the world. At the heart of globalization from below lies democratizationmaking institutions accountable to those they affect. 3. Make decisions as close as possible to those they affect. The movement for globalization from below should aim to construct a multilevel global economy. In accordance with the subsidiarity principle, power and initiative should be concentrated at as low a level as possible, with higher-level regulation established where and only where necessary. This approach envisions relatively self-reliant, self-governing communities, states, provinces, countries, and regions, with global regulation only sufficient to protect the environment, redistribute resources, block the race to the bottom, and perform other essential functions. 4. Equalize global wealth and power. The current gap between the global rich and poor is unacceptable; it is unconscionable to act as if it can be a permanent feature of the global economy. It is equally unacceptable to assume that the rich countries of the world can call all the shots regarding the global economys future. Policy at every level should prioritize economic advancement of the most oppressed and exploited people, including women, immigrants, racial and ethnic minorities, and indigenous peoples. It should increase power, capability, resources, and income for those at the bottom. 5. Convert the global economy to environmental sustainability. The world is in the midst of a global environmental catastrophe. Ill-conceived economic activity is disrupting the basic balances of climate and ecology on which human life depends. Globalization is rapidly accelerating that ongoing catastrophe. The sources of environmental destruction lie primarily in the wrongly developed countries of the North and in the activities of global corporations in the South. The only way to reverse this catastrophe is to halt the present dynamic of globalization and meet human needs by technologies and social practices that progressively reduce the negative impact of the economy on the environment. 6. Create prosperity by meeting human and environmental needs. Today, an estimated 1 billion people are unemployed. Millions are forced to leave rural areas and migrate to cities or around the world seeking work. Meanwhile, the worlds vast need for goods and services to alleviate poverty and to reconstruct society on an environmentally sustainable basis goes unmet. A goal of economic policy at every level must be

According toThe Washington Post, http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A20048-2000Dec17.htmla new global threat assessment by the National Intelligence Council, scheduled for release today, concludes that terrorist attacks against the United States through 2015 "will become increasingly sophisticated and designed to achieve mass casualties. We expect the trend toward greater lethality . . . to continue." The Cato Institute recently hosted the policy forum "How Should the United States Respond to Terrorism?." http://www.cato.org/events/001127pf.html Video of the event can be seen on the Cato Web site. In "Does U.S. Intervention Overseas Breed Terrorism?" http://www.cato.org/pubs/fpbriefs/fpb-050es.html Director of Defense Policy Studies Ivan Eland writes that there may be too much focus on deterring terrorism rather than understanding what motivates it. He concludes that a strong correlation exists between U.S. involvement in international situations and an increase in terrorist attacks against the United States. http://www.cato.org/pubs/fpbriefs/fpb-050es.html Cato Foreign Policy Briefing No. 50 December 17, 1998 DOES U.S. INTERVENTION OVERSEAS BREED TERRORISM? The Historical Record by Ivan Eland Ivan Eland is director of defense policy studies at the Cato Institute. Executive Summary According to Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, terrorism is the most important threat the United States and the world face as the 21st century begins. High-level U.S. officials have acknowledged that terrorists are now more likely to be able to obtain and use nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons than ever before. Yet most attention has been focused on combating terrorism by deterring and disrupting it beforehand and retaliating against it after the fact. Less attention has been paid to what motivates terrorists to launch attacks. According to the Pentagon's Defense Science Board, a strong correlation exists between U.S. involvement in international situations and an increase in terrorist attacks against the United States. President Clinton has also acknowledged that link. The board, however, has provided no empirical data to support its conclusion. This paper fills that gap by citing many examples of terrorist attacks on the United States in retaliation for U.S. intervention overseas. The numerous incidents cataloged suggest that the United States could reduce the chances of such devastating--and potentially catastrophic--terrorist attacks by adopting a policy of military restraint overseas.

[CTRL] After Prohibition: An Adult Approach to Drug Policies in the 21st Century | Cato Inst.
-Caveat Lector- http://www.cato.org/cgi-bin/Web_store/web_store.cgi?page=afterprohibition.htmlcart_id= After Prohibition: An Adult Approach to Drug Policies in the 21st Century Edited by Timothy Lynch More than 10 years ago, federal officials boldly claimed that they would create a 'drug-free America by 1995.' To reach that objective, Congress spent billions on police, prosecutors, drug courts, and prisons. Despite millions of arrests and countless seizures, America is not drug free. Illegal drugs are as readily available today as ever before. Drug prohibition has proven to be a costly failure. Like alcohol prohibition, drug prohibition has created more problems than it has solved. The drug war has destroyed the lives of inner-city residents, corrupted law enforcement, and distorted our foreign policy. Yet drug prohibition is still seen as a viable strategy by our political leaders. Paradoxically, alternative drug policiessuch as legalizationfall outside of the parameters of serious debate in our nation's capital. No one maintains that drug legalization would be a panacea. There is no question that drug abuse would continue to be a problem even in the face of legalization. But drug prohibition is a blunderbuss approach that treats Americans with very little respect. It treats them like children. It is time to deal with adult drug use in a more open, honest, and mature manner. The drug war has been given a chance to work, but it has failed miserably. Timothy Lynch is associate director of the Cato Institute's Center for Constitutional Studies and a graduate of Marquette University School of Law. He is a member of the Wisconsin and District of Columbia bars and writes frequently on legal issues. "You cannot read this book without recognizing the social tragedy that has resulted from the attempt to prohibit people from ingesting an arbitrary list of substances designated 'illegal drugs.' . . . Not since the collapse of the attempt to prohibit the ingestion of alcohol has our liberty been in such danger as it now is from the misnamed 'war on drugs.'" -Milton Friedman "The nation is crying for an honest weighing of the dollar and societal costs of the drug war against its limited accomplishments in reducing the admittedly serious problem of drug abuse. This volume addresses the many ways in which America is paying for its drug warÐmany billions of dollars spent, encroachment on individual constitutional rights, distortion and corruption of policing, and incarceration of over 400,000 people in a futile attempt to keep the drug market from responding to domestic demand." -Alfred Blumstein University Professor, H.

[CTRL] controversial book Arming America has the facts all wrong | Reason Online
-Caveat Lector- http://reason.com/0101/cr.jm.concealed.html REASON * January 2001 Concealed Weapons The controversial book Arming America has the facts all wrong. By Joyce Lee Malcolm Arming America: The Origins of a National Gun Culture, by Michael A. Bellesiles, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 640 pages, $30 Five months before the publication of Arming America, without seeing the text, The New York Times endorsed its authors claim that few guns, let alone a gun culture, existed in America prior to the Civil War. This was just the beginning of the media blitz that would greet the book. A glowing treatment by Garry Wills adorned the cover of The New York Times Book Review; congratulatory reviews appeared in The Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune, and other papers; the author, Emory University historian Michael Bellesiles, was interviewed on National Public Radio and had an essay in The Chronicle of Higher Education. Reviewers have hailed Arming America as a "myth-buster" that "changes everything," a book destined to raise the gun control debate to a more "fact-based and rational level." If the point at which America became a "gun culture" seems too academic an issue to arouse such intense excitement, the tributes on the books dust jacket make it clear that something else is afoot. "Thinking people who deplore Americans addiction to gun violence have been waiting a long time for this information," says Stewart Udall, the former congressman and secretary of the interior. For those still uncertain why thinking people have been waiting for this, or what the "everything" is that has changed, Cornell University historian Michael Kammen cites the books "inescapable policy implications." As those blurbs suggest, Arming America has been enthusiastically embraced by gun control advocates as an aid in their effort to persuade Americans (and their courts) that they do not have, and never have had, a constitutional right to be armed. Any book that can raise the level of debate on any subject, especially one as emotional as gun control, is certainly welcome. The key to a books value, however, is not whether its findings are those any of us "have been waiting a long time for" but whether they are, in fact, correct. Before considering whether Arming America has indeed shattered a myth, it might be helpful to reflect on why gun control advocates are so excited about a book that, even if accurate, seems only tangentially related to their cause. Behind the hype is the cantankerous debate over the meaning of the Second Amendments single sentence: "A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." This debate has fallen prey to a passionate political agenda. Proponents of gun control are convinced that guns in the hands of individuals are to blame for violence in America. Their effort to strictly control, if not eliminate, those guns conflicts with the belief held by most Americans that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms" applies to them. Hence the Second Amendment has been subjected to intense and critical scrutiny. Some commentators have argued that the awkwardly worded article guarantees only members of a well-regulated militia, such as todays National Guard, a right to be armed. According to this view, the amendment protects a "collective right" for particular groups. By 1975 the issue had become so confused that the members of an American Bar Association committee charged with sorting it out threw up their hands and announced, "It is doubtful that the Founding Fathers had any intent in mind with regard to the meaning of this Amendment." Since then scholars from various fields have delved into the matter and found overwhelming contemporary evidence that the Founders inherited and meant to guarantee an individual right, and none to support the notion that a collective right was intended. This body of work has persuaded such eminent constitutional scholars as Lawrence Tribe and Leonard Levy that the Second Amendment protects an individual right. Opponents of this view have come up with new, increasingly tenuous arguments. First came the claim that the phrase bear arms was used exclusively in a military context, so its inclusion in the Second Amendment must refer only to militia members. Yet in early American discourse, bear arms often referred to simply carrying a weapon, as a 1998 Supreme Court decision found it still does. (The Second Amendment, of course, also protects a right to "keep" arms, but so far there has been no attempt to redefine keep.) Next came the theory of Carl Bogus, an employee of Handgun Control Inc., that the Second Amendment was the result of a conspiracy between Northern and Southern states to guarantee weapons to keep slaves under control. Among the problems with the Bogus approach is the absence of any direct evidence for such a conspiracy. Then there was the "comma
[CTRL] King Tut DNA test postponed
-Caveat Lector- http://www.infobeat.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/IBFrontEnd.woa/wa/fullStory?article=405316608 InfoBeat King Tut DNA test postponed By SALAH NASRAWI Associated Press Writer CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - Egypt has indefinitely postponed DNA tests designed to throw light on questions that have intrigued archaeologists for years: Who was Tutankhamun's father, and was he of royal blood? The head of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, Gaballah Ali Gaballah, said Tuesday that plans for DNA tests on the mummies of Tutankhamun and his presumed grandfather, Amenhotep III, had been canceled. ``There will be no test now and we have to see if there will be one later,'' Gaballah told The Associated Press. He declined to give a reason. Sabri Abdel-Aziz, the council's chief archaeologist in southern Egypt, where the tests were to be conducted, said the Japanese experts assigned to the work had not been granted the required security clearance. He did not say why. The announcement of the planned tests had sparked a controversy among Egyptian archaeologists. Some said they were an unnecessary risk that might harm the mummies. Others said the results might be used to rewrite Egyptian history. ``I have refused in the past to allow foreign teams to carry out such tests on the bones of the Pyramids builders because there are some people who try to tamper with Egyptian history,'' the chief archaeologist of the Giza pyramids, Zahi Hawas, told the Akhbar Al-Yom weekly. DNA testing of mummies has the potential to answer a number of questions about ancient Egypt _ proving information on matters such as family relations, marriage patterns and mixing of ethnic groups. But archaeologists caution that DNA testing has not proved very successful and warn against over-reliance on it. Gaballah said last month that the tests, aimed at comparing Tutankhamun's DNA with that of Amenhotep III, were his department's last resort to end a long-lasting mystery. Tutankhamun ruled Egypt 3,300 years ago from about the age of 8 to his death at 17. He succeeded Amenhotep IV, better-known as Akhenaten, and official policy at the time said Tutankhamun was related by blood to his predecessor. Many Egyptologists question whether Akhenaten really did father Tutankhamun, although they widely agree the boy-king had some sort of royal lineage. The tests were to have been conducted by a team from Japan's Waseda University and Cairo's Ein Shams University. The first test was to be carried out at Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of Kings near the southern town of Luxor, and would have meant closing the tomb for a few hours. The tomb was discovered virtually intact by Briton Howard Carter in 1922. Its treasures provided invaluable insight into Egyptian ancient history. The second test would have been on the mummy of Amenhotep III, which is exhibited at the Egyptian museum in Cairo. Amenhotep III is believed to have been Akhenaten's father. A general named Horemheb largely ran the country during Tut's reign. He and other generals were known to claim royal blood. ©2000 Indimi, Inc., All rights reserved.

[CTRL] BSE from space?
-Caveat Lector- Nice try, but I don't buy it. The 'logic' used here doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Why would Mad Cow Disease have only begun to appear about 10 years ago? Many Brits do keep their cattle in for the winter. I lived therefor 3 years and witnessed the practice. Many cattle ranchers in this country winter their cattle outdoors. If this theory is true why didn't Mad Cow Disease show up here, or does cosmic dust only rain down on Britain? Also, funding was withdrawn by the NIH for researchers investigating a viral or bacterial cause of BSE, but instead given to researchers who only investigated prions as the cause of this disease. One researcher who has been ignored by his collegues and the press contends that the BSE infective process involves prions, but is triggered by a virus. So why would funding have been withdrawn from research investigating the viral link? IMcynicalO, this a convenient cover for laboratory maufactured disease! ~ M http://farshores.topcities.com/farshores/nmadcow.htm Mad Cow Disease 'Came From Space' Says Prof [Original headline: MAD COW DISEASE 'CAME FROM SPACE' ] Mad cow disease may have been caused by cattle eating dust from space, scientists claim. The experts believe particles from passing comets entered the Earth's atmosphere, bringing with them micro-bacteria. Cows then became infected by eating the bacteria lying on grass in the fields. The startling theory is the brainchild of astronomy professor Chandra Wickramasinghe, of the University of Wales, backed by his Cambridge University counterpart, Professor Sir Fred Hoyle. Professor Wickramasinghe said: "Bacteria descends through the stratosphere in winter, and you can't think of a better way to mop it up than by cattle roaming from field to field. "We believe the almost unique Welsh and English practice of out-wintering cattle explains why BSE hit more severely here. "It may seem a way-out position. But the theory is starting to gain currency. "As Sherlock Holmes says, 'If all other possibilities have been ruled out whatever is left, however unlikely, must be true'." Originally published by The Mirror / London - December 7 2000 COMMENT: The theory of Wickramasinghe and his colleague Fred Hoyle [authors of 'Diseases from Space'] has a great deal of merit. Here is an excerpt from the recent British Government 16-volume official BSE report: "The pathogen that wipes out memory, personality and physical functions is extraordinarily tenacious. It resists heat, alcohol, boiling, ultraviolet light and ionizing radiation. Surgical instruments that come in contact with it can remain contaminated after normal sterilization procedures, and researchers don body protection before handling it."

[CTRL] Bizarre new way to propel a spacecraft
-Caveat Lector- http://www.eurekalert.org/releases/ns-bnw120700.html FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 7 DECEMBER 2000 UK Contact: Claire Bowles [EMAIL PROTECTED] 44-0-207-331-2751 US Contact: New Scientist Washington office [EMAIL PROTECTED] 202-452-1178 New Scientist Bizarre new way to propel a spacecraft If you thought warp drive was weird, try jolt propulsion A JUDDERING magnet has inspired a scientist at the US Department of Energy to investigate a bizarre new way of propelling a spacecraft. The idea for a "judder-drive" struck David Goodwin when he noticed that powerful cryogenically cooled superconducting magnets often jolt in one direction for a centimetre or two when you first turn them on. "If you have something metal in the magnetic field as it is forming, you see the magnet physically shift," Goodwin, who works at the Office of High Energy and Nuclear Physics in Germantown, Maryland, told New Scientist. Superconducting magnets are cooled to such a low temperature that they have no electrical resistance. Goodwin's magnets were made by taking superconducting wires of niobium-tin alloy and twisting the strands into a cable. The cables were then coated with an insulator and wound into a coil. "The coil's then put into a cylindrical casing called a cryostat that's filled with liquid helium," says Goodwin. The liquid helium cools the wire coil to -269 ¡C, when they become superconducting. Goodwin says the metal objects create the judder effect by inducing a "brief asymmetry in the magnetic field" as it is set up when the magnet is turned on. This initial disturbance of the magnetic field, he says, creates a repulsive force on the magnet and pushes it away. But the force produced in one jolt is very low, Goodwin says, so you would need to turn the magnet on and off with ultrafast switches, making a fast stream of jolts. "We've got switches now that can work at high voltages at 400,000 times a second," he says. "If you could use one of these switches to rapidly switch the magnet on and off, you might get some propulsion out of it." A colleague of Goodwin's at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York is now modelling the magnetic field of superconducting magnets to work out how best to arrange a metallic disc in the magnetic field to produce the biggest jolt. But Goodwin admits the judder drive might be going nowhere fast. "It's very speculative. We don't know if it'll work," he says. Marc Millis, who heads NASA's breakthrough propulsion physics project at the NASA Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field in Cleveland, Ohio, has invited Goodwin to present his idea at a propulsion conference in July next year. The crucial thing, says Millis, is whether Goodwin's magnet would produce any net motion at all-it might just sit there and vibrate. "It's a definite possibility that any forces arising from Goodwin's concept will only act within the components of the device itself, resulting in no net force," he says. "There are a lot of unresolved physics issues to address." ### Author: Ian Sample, London New Scientist issue: 9th December 2000 SOURCE - NEW SCIENTIST, http://www.newscientist.com Back to EurekAlert!

-Caveat Lector- http://www.concordmonitor.com/stories/front0400/salisbury_fireball.shtml Mystery of the fireball from the sky deepens If Monday's fire wasn't caused by a meteorite, what was it? Thursday, December 7, 2000 By STEPHANIE HANES Monitor staff Salisbury SALISBURY - Ron Baalke of NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab saw the story about the meteorite in a small New Hampshire town online. It seemed a spectacular occurrence - meteorites are rare to begin with, but it's unheard of to see one land on Earth still burning. So, on his California computer, he forwarded the news to a London-based electronic network that disseminates information on catastrophic asteroids and cosmic disasters. The "CCNet" published Baalke's post about the supposed Granite State meteorite, and sky-minded scientists across the world read the news. Salisbury, New Hampshire, was famous. Since Paul Kornexl and Donna Ayoub saw a fireball plummet from the sky into the woods behind their houses Monday evening, Salisbury and its potential meteorite have gained worldwide attention. While Kornexl, Ayoub and her husband, Dave, continued to scour the muddy ground yesterday for extraterrestrial signs, scientists from New Mexico to Moscow - aided by the more-familiar science of the Internet - were conjecturing on just what happened behind quiet Hensmith Road. The first report that had come out of Salisbury said a meteorite had landed in the woods behind 129 and 137 (which are next to each other) Hensmith Road. The blazing softball-sized object had started two small fires in the dried leaves Monday evening, and neighbors had rushed to douse the flames. "It's a little weird for my book," said the fire dispatcher Monday. "I've never had anything drop out of the sky on my watch." By the time firefighters arrived on scene the blaze was extinguished. But the curiosity wasn't. Kornexl had been standing next to his shed when he saw the fireball land. "I was dumbfounded," he said. The next day, when a scientist from the Christa McAuliffe Planetarium examined the scene, and other experts pieced together the reported details, the explanation of a meteorite seemed less and less plausible. A meteorite would not have been burning when it hit the ground, scientists said. It would have left a crater when it landed and it would not have come in on an arc like residents described. But the woods were deserted. Kornexl, who spent six years in the Army, said the scene didn't fit with any weapon he knew of. And air control and military officials said there was nothing overhead at the time. So the question lingered. What sort of unearthly visitor had shown up in Salisbury? The conjectures started coming in yesterday morning. Robin Griffith, who lives outside Houston, Texas, said the New Hampshire fireball was similar to a flash of light she saw from her deck back in July. "If it had streaked I would have thought it was a shooting star," she said. But she added that her siting was exactly the same - she didn't see her ball of light fall to the horizon. "I don't believe mine was what y'all had," she said. She gave the name of a scientist in Russia who had studied her incident. Andrei Ol'khovatov had read the posting on CCNet and had asked her to get more information about the New Hampshire incident. Ol'khovatov had his own opinion. "It was probably not a meteorite," he wrote in an e-mail, "but a geophysical meteor (high-speed ball lightning). I investigate these events for some years." Ol'khovatov's Web page has scores of information about incidents of geographic meteors, what he describes as a rare type of electric atmospheric discharge like ball lightning. He suggests TWA Flight 800 and other airline disasters may have been caused by this natural phenomena. Salisbury's fire could be just the latest incident. Richard Spalding, a senior engineer at the Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico, a U.S. Department of Energy national security lab, had his own theory. Apart from the lab, Spalding has studied flashes in the atmosphere - of which meteors are one sort and lightning another. "This particular article is reminiscent of quite a number of events I've looked into in which people claim they've seen a fireball come all the way to the ground," he said. "I think they are an electrical manifestation - akin to lightning but with nothing to do with thunderstorms." Spalding said evidence of this sort of event could be gained by analyzing some leftover material at the site. "It's quite possible there are some radioactive trace elements that are formed by the ions," he said. The Ayoubs, he said, agreed to send him some ground samples. "If found, there's no mistaking something very strange had occurred. There's only one way those elements could be created. It requires high energy radiation." Scientists conjecturing on the Salisbury mystery got more information from residents yesterday as more people came forward with reports of seeing the fireball.
[CTRL] Bizarre new way to propel a spacecraft
-Caveat Lector- http://www.eurekalert.org/releases/ns-bnw120700.html FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 7 DECEMBER 2000 UK Contact: Claire Bowles [EMAIL PROTECTED] 44-0-207-331-2751 US Contact: New Scientist Washington office [EMAIL PROTECTED] 202-452-1178 New Scientist Bizarre new way to propel a spacecraft If you thought warp drive was weird, try jolt propulsion A JUDDERING magnet has inspired a scientist at the US Department of Energy to investigate a bizarre new way of propelling a spacecraft. The idea for a "judder-drive" struck David Goodwin when he noticed that powerful cryogenically cooled superconducting magnets often jolt in one direction for a centimetre or two when you first turn them on. "If you have something metal in the magnetic field as it is forming, you see the magnet physically shift," Goodwin, who works at the Office of High Energy and Nuclear Physics in Germantown, Maryland, told New Scientist. Superconducting magnets are cooled to such a low temperature that they have no electrical resistance. Goodwin's magnets were made by taking superconducting wires of niobium-tin alloy and twisting the strands into a cable. The cables were then coated with an insulator and wound into a coil. "The coil's then put into a cylindrical casing called a cryostat that's filled with liquid helium," says Goodwin. The liquid helium cools the wire coil to -269 ¡C, when they become superconducting. Goodwin says the metal objects create the judder effect by inducing a "brief asymmetry in the magnetic field" as it is set up when the magnet is turned on. This initial disturbance of the magnetic field, he says, creates a repulsive force on the magnet and pushes it away. But the force produced in one jolt is very low, Goodwin says, so you would need to turn the magnet on and off with ultrafast switches, making a fast stream of jolts. "We've got switches now that can work at high voltages at 400,000 times a second," he says. "If you could use one of these switches to rapidly switch the magnet on and off, you might get some propulsion out of it." A colleague of Goodwin's at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York is now modelling the magnetic field of superconducting magnets to work out how best to arrange a metallic disc in the magnetic field to produce the biggest jolt. But Goodwin admits the judder drive might be going nowhere fast. "It's very speculative. We don't know if it'll work," he says. Marc Millis, who heads NASA's breakthrough propulsion physics project at the NASA Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field in Cleveland, Ohio, has invited Goodwin to present his idea at a propulsion conference in July next year. The crucial thing, says Millis, is whether Goodwin's magnet would produce any net motion at all-it might just sit there and vibrate. "It's a definite possibility that any forces arising from Goodwin's concept will only act within the components of the device itself, resulting in no net force," he says. "There are a lot of unresolved physics issues to address." ### Author: Ian Sample, London New Scientist issue: 9th December 2000 SOURCE - NEW SCIENTIST, http://www.newscientist.com Back to EurekAlert!

Re: [CTRL] Fwd: The Music Code in Ancient Myth (1/2)
-Caveat Lector- Years ago, before unicorns were cutesy cartoons on greeting cards, I looked up the word in the World Book encyclopedia. The edition was 1957 -- if I remember the year correctly... anyway, the World Book said that the word 'unicorn' was once written throughout the Bible, but was later substituted with the words 'wild oxen'. Later, for an Art History class project, I researched why David, the sculptor, portrayed Moses with horns. Apparently the Hebrew word for horns also meant 'beams', but the Greek translation of that time used the word 'horns' instead, leading David to put horns on the head of his masterpiece. With all the translations, translations of the translations and probable mistranslations of mistranslations, I don't know how anyone could claim that the Bible is the actual 'Word of God'.

[CTRL] France gives in to Britain, heading off EU defense rift
-Caveat Lector- Friday, December 8 11:04 PM SGT France gives in to Britain, heading off EU defense rift NICE, France, Dec 8 (AFP) - France, avoiding confrontation with Britain and the United States over a European defense force, on Friday gave in to British objections that the force enjoy a measure of independence from NATO. At an EU summit here presided by France, the 15 nations adopted an agreement on European defense and security already approved by EU foreign mininsters, while "simplifying in the extreme" extra paragraphs that referred to autonomy. The new lines written into a draft EU document submitted to the summit had suggested a degree of autonomy from NATO for the new European force. "We simplified the paragraphs on European defense at the request of the British Prime Minister, to which the French presidency willingly agreed," France's European Affairs Minister Pierre Moscovici told a press conference. "I think this was wise. It avoided a semantic and counter-productive quarrel ... The agreement was made without heated debate between the French presidency and Britain," he said. "We are happy to say that the European Council approved the presidency's report and its annexes concerning European defense and security policy," he added. Reacting to the announcement, a British government spokesman said London objected to the draft text because it risked introducing new ambiguities on the question of the rapid reaction force's relationship with NATO. "We had a good text, painstakingly worked out and agreed by foreign ministers on Monday," he said. "What we didn't want to do was start introducing new language. "The feeling was: 'Let's leave well enough alone. It's a done deal. Let's not play around with it.'" British Prime Minister Tony Blair was publicly irritated by remarks made Thursday by French President Jacques Chirac that the new rapid reaction force, to be operational by 2003, should have a degree of autonomy from NATO. "There is neither a proposal nor a desire nor a decision on a separate European military capability. If anybody says we have a (military) capacity independent of NATO, it would be absolutely false," he said. At a meeting of NATO defense ministers in Brussels on Tuesday, US Defense Minister William Cohen bluntly warned Europeans that NATO will become a "relic of the past" if they set up a competing defense structure while failing to live up to their commitments to the alliance. He said US support for NATO would continue so long as the Europeans act to build up their military capabilities and pursue an open, transparent and non-competitive relationship with NATO. Cognizant of that shot fired across their bow, the EU leaders decided to delete paragraphs added to the defense and security section of their draft conclusions, including one that said: "The EU will have an autonomous capacity to take decisions and, where NATO as such is engaged, to launch and conduct crisis management operations." The EU summit in Helsinki a year ago mandated the creation of a rapid reaction force of 60,000 battle-ready troops capable of jumping into Kosovo-like trouble spots within 60 days and remaining for at least a year. The force was to have had a degree of autonomy from NATO insofar as it could move to quell trouble when the alliance was unwilling. But it would also, according to initial planning, have to depend on access to NATO's arsenal for heavy equipment, planning, communications and transport. # # # Copyright © 2000 AFP.

[CTRL] Just Discovered: Minor Planet Brighter than All Others
-Caveat Lector- http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/solarsystem/new_planet_001204.html Just Discovered: Minor Planet Brighter than All Others By Robert Roy Britt,Senior Science Writer posted: 09:36 am ET, 04 December 2000 A space rock about one-fourth to one-half the size of Pluto and roughly the same distance from Earth has been found, and astronomers Friday called it the brightest "minor planet" in our solar system. The new object has been named 2000 WR106. Its diameter is estimated at between 330 and 750 miles (531 to 1,207 kilometers). Pluto is 1,470 miles (2,365 kilometers) in diameter. The largest known asteroid, Ceres, is 570 miles (917 kilometers) across. A three-panel animation shows the newly found TNO moving in the sky. Source LJL. The object has been classified as a Trans-Neptunian Object, or TNO -- a class of icy rocks that orbit the Sun out beyond Neptune's orbit. Scientists refer to TNOs, along with other asteroids and comets, as minor planets. Researchers have counted 346 TNOs since they were first recognized in the early 1990s, but they estimate there are at least 70,000 of them with diameters larger than 60 miles (100 kilometers). TNOs orbit the Sun at a distance of between 30 and 50 AU (1 AU, or astronomical unit, is the distance between the Sun and Earth). How could something so bright have escaped detection until now? "Perhaps because the object is in a fairly rich star field, not far from the galactic equator" where there is a heavy concentration of stars crowding the sky, said Robert McMillan, who found 2000 WR106. "Normally, other search groups look for TNOs in less crowded backgrounds." McMillan said finding such an object provides further motivation for researchers to continue searching for other large objects. Other astronomers say it's likely that another minor planet as big as Pluto, or possibly larger, will be found. McMillan, of the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, first spotted the moving target November 28, with a 36-inch (1-meter) telescope on Kitt Peak. A total of 12 observations were made over three days by McMillan and a colleague. The researchers were conducting routine surveys as part of the 20-year-old Spacewatch effort to catalogue solar system objects. Determining size The newly found TNO has an apparent magnitude of 20. On this scale, larger positive numbers represent fainter objects. The faintest star or other object that can be seen under dark skies with the naked eye, for example, has an apparent magnitude of about 6. The extremely bright Venus, on the other hand, is at minus 4 on the scale. The International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center calculated a preliminary orbit for 2000 WR106 by assuming it carves a circular path around the Sun. The organization said the TNO is 43 times farther from the Sun than Earth. But more observations will be needed to determine if the orbit is in fact circular, or if it is more elongated, like Pluto's. The exact diameter will take some more sleuthing, too. Researchers said it will be weeks or months before the orbit's shape and distance from the Sun is pinned down. Only then can astronomers use the TNO's apparent brightness -- the reflected sunlight that is seen from Earth -- to determine the its "absolute magnitude," a standard measure of how bright an object would appear if it were 32.6 light-years away. This, along with studies of the composition of 2000 WR106, will reveal the TNO's diameter. The process, which will involve other researchers and telescopes, could take a year or more, McMillan told SPACE.com.

-Caveat Lector- Colleen Chill out! And lighten up. If you don't want to send the guy money, you don't have to. But you don't have to rip him apart onlne. And what's this about a letter he allegedly wrote for Tim McVeigh? If you're referrig to Tim's Essay on Hypocrisy, McVeigh wrote that himself. If people want to send the ARA their money, let them. It's not your money, and its not your problem. Annie DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic screeds are not allowed.

Re: [CTRL] Contrails off Pacific NW on 4/24/99
-Caveat Lector- Steve, Just came back from the Pacific Northwest and saw criss-crossed contrails over Spokane, and over the Okanogan mountains, west of Ephrata. I live in the east and have never seen them before. However, every time I come back from out there, I've been very sick with a respiratory illness I cannot shake, I've had this since December and it will not go away, I have a constant chest-deep racking cough and feel like there's a 200 weight on my chest, I am afraid I'm going to end up with pneumonia. I haven't been sick like this in 20 years, just when I go out west. Must be something to it after all. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
