[Hydro] SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC WILL GOVERN SERBIA FROM THE HAGUE
Title: Message SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC WILL GOVERN SERBIA FROM THE HAGUE Socialist Party of Serbia is running the campaign to get rid of the ex in ex-presidentThe Socialist Party of Serbia started collecting signatures for the nomination of their leader, ex-President of Yugoslavia Slobodan Milosevic, for the presidential elections in Serbia, which are to take place on September 29. The decision was made by the members of the party despited the current trial on Milosevic in the Hague and the resolution of the Central Electoral Committee in Belgrade, RTR-Vesti.Ru reported. The Central Electoral Committee has informed that Milosevic can never run for the presidency of Serbia, since he held this position twice: in 1990 and 1992. The initiative of the Socialist Party of Serbia contradicts the Constitution of the country, because one person cannot be re-elected for the position of the president three times in a row. However, the party is aware of this fact, although they say that the decision of the Central Electoral Committee regarding their refusal to register Milosevic an be appealed by the Supreme Court. The party is going to prove that it will be very easy for them to collect ten thousand signatures in Milosevic’s support, very shortly, by the middle of the current week. Milosevic is enjoying great popularity among the Serbian people, and his popularity is growing with his every speech. The so-called “opinion polls” conducted by the Serbian media are absolutely fake (they say that only four or five percent of the Serbian people support Milosevic). The most important thing for the Socialist Party of Serbia is to show how totally wrong the mass media is. What if they collect not ten thousand, but even more signatures and bring them to the Hague? Carla might choke over her breakfast then. Nominating someone for the presidency and collecting the requisite number of signatures is not at all a violation of the constitution. It will be up to the Central Electoral Committee to decide whether to register Milosevic or not. Izvestia reported that the electoral committee of Serbia had granted an official registration only to one candidacy: the chairman of the Serbian radical party Voislav Seselj. The leader of the Serbian Unity Party Borislav Pelevic and Yugoslavian Vice Premier Miroljub Labus have already collected the requisite number of signatures.

[Hydro] Secrets of long life
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/2167316.stm BBC News/Health Friday, 2 August, 2002, 00:19 GMT 01:19 UK Scientists unravel secrets of long life By Richard Black BBC science correspondent Scientists in the United States have discovered three things which help predict how long someone is going to live. In a study published in the journal Science, they report that the length of a person's life is related to their body temperature, and to levels of two chemicals, insulin and DHEAS, circulating in the blood. On average, people who have a lower body temperature live longer, as do those with lower levels of insulin, and those with higher levels of DHEAS. The researchers are not entirely sure of the reasons behind this finding but experiments with animals suggest it may be to do with a lower metabolic rate. They say that unravelling the mechanisms behind the finding may lead to new ways of helping people to live longer. Of mice and men The suggested link between lifespan and metabolic rate comes from experiments in which animals are maintained on strict calorie-controlled diets. These animals tend to live longer than normal - up to 40% longer. They also have lower than average body temperature, low levels of insulin, and high levels of dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEAS). George Roth from the National Institute of Ageing in Baltimore in the United States has been working on a long-term study of factors affecting human lifespan. Called the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Ageing, it has been running since 1958 and has enrolled around 1,500 people. Longevity clues Following the lead given by the animal diet experiments, Dr Roth's team decided to analyse body temperature and levels of insulin and DHEAS in men enrolled in the Baltimore study. "Men with lower temperature and insulin and those maintaining higher DHEAS levels have greater survival than respective counterparts," he writes in the Science journal. At present, there are not enough data to say precisely how big these effects are. The average human body temperature is around 37 degrees Celsius but individuals differ by around a degree. The men in the Baltimore study are not on diets. So something else must be keeping body temperature and insulin down, and DHEAS up, in the men who are living longer. "It could be genetic, it could be something else in their lifestyle apart from diet," Dr Roth told the BBC. "If we can learn what these individuals are doing then perhaps we could help the rest of us to live longer, too."
