Soil Crust Analogs on Earth??? Likewise a USA Today article Imprint
shows Mars craft landed in 'weird stuff' describes "The
soil was stripped up and folded in an interesting way," said Jim Bell, who
designed the panoramic camera that Spirit used to photograph the "mud-like"
patch. "It has quite alien textures."
Might this soil crust on Mars be same/similar to the biological soil crust
found at Arches

It shows mostly sand-sized particles, but with a large number of apparently hollow spheres or tubes. The image resolution is about 30 microns per pixel - about the width of a human hair.
Such grains were completely unexpected. But John Grotzinger, a geologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, says they closely resemble formations he has seen in soils in the southwestern deserts of the US [rm3friskerFTN - perhaps lending some weight to my earlier analogy to Arches National Park @ Moab, Utah, USA]. "There are little tubes that build up by capillary action," he told New Scientist, as salty water evaporates from the nearly-dry soil.

"... imagine this scenario: It's 2029, and a lunar mission lands at Tranquillity Base. A crew of heroic young Indians - or Chinese - quietly folds and puts away America's 60-year-old flag. If the world saw that on television, wouldn't the gesture be worth tens of billions of rupees or yuan? Of course it would." The New Cold War
BTW, I think NASA/society sets the bar too-high for astronauts... a crew of high school kids with an old-fart chaperone (someone who is 28-years old) would do a far better job than the over-qualified astronauts... real-life example is the reactor control room of a US Navy submarine.
Intelligence reports about the terrorist threat to the Hawaiian harbor bombed by the Japanese in World War II were sent to senior U.S. officials in the past two weeks and coincided with reports of the planning of a major attack by Osama bin Laden's terrorist group.
GERTZ: Terrorists aim at Pearl Harbor; Plan to hijack airliners, fly them into nuclear subs
If you peer into the "memory hole" you will discover that the ARPANET was "born" between 1962-1969 while "Gore was 21-years-old at the time (1969). He wasn't even done with law school at Vanderbilt University. It would be eight more years before Gore would be elected to the US House of Representatives" (Wired Mar. 11, 1999)
CONCLUSION: Gore _DID_ _NOT_ get us the money for ARPANET!!!
In 1990, Gore introduced a bill that would allow the federal government to enter the business of crafting software for teachers to use. Another Gore plan would create a new federal research center for educational computing to support an "information systems highway." (Wired Mar. 11, 1999)
CONCLUSION: Gore _DID_ _NOT_ get us the money to turn ARPANET into the Internet. However, he may have voted for/against various bills that DID further develop the ARPANET (that we know predates Gore's political career)
OVERALL CONCLUSION: Gore is/was a "serial exaggerater"
"There is no way I would lift a finger for 'President' Harken and 'Vice-President' Haliburton though."
Yet you brag of your web design work for 'President Stanton' and his sycophant?

Some key paragraphs from the UN Security Council Resolution:
all States shall:... suppress the financing of terrorist acts;
all States shall: Prohibit... making any funds, financial assets or economic resources or financial or other related services available, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of persons who commit or attempt to commit or facilitate or participate in the commission of terrorist acts, of entities owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by such persons and of persons and entities acting on behalf of or at the direction of such persons;
Decides also that all States shall: Prevent those who finance, plan, facilitate or commit terrorist acts from using their respective territories for those purposes against other States or their citizens;
Nearly all of the examples, I believe, involve insurgent forces supplied by an outside power during the conflict.
Not True in the case of the Warsaw Ghetto [or American Revolution - grin]... all arms were STOLEN from the Nazis. Too bad law-abiding Germans [especially Jews] could not LEGALLY own "assault" weapons before Hitler came to power. Of course, this is the problem... "law-abiding" citizens will do what their good government tells them to do. Then when a bad government takes control (e.g. Hitler, Algerian Islamic Facists, Allende/Shining Path & Chile, Stalin, Castro, Cambodia,...) it is too late. Off to the gas chambers, gulags, reeducation camps, killing fields you go... happy happy joy joy.
First, we know that the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto, when they finally
turned to armed resistance, succeeded in holding off the Nazi war machine for
nearly a month. These were civilians running an urban guerilla resistance --
using a relatively small number of guns and ammo smuggled in or taken
from killed Nazis. In this case, the Warsaw Ghetto defenders damaged the Nazi
effort -- and if that had been multiplied over the countryside, it would have
meant more damage to the Nazis, and possibly a change in Nazi policy. (See Jon
Guttman's article, "Genocide Delayed", in March 2000 issue of World War II
magazine, available on line at: HERE [thehistorynet.com] and
HERE [jpfo.org]
Second, Stephen Halbrook has written a book recently showing that the Nazis
did not invade Switzerland in large measure because the Swiss citizens were
all armed with military weapons, were trained, and enjoyed a hilly terrain
that would benefit the defenders. In this case, the threat of armed
resistance deterred the Nazis. (Target Switzerland: Swiss Armed Neutrality
in World War II, Sarpedon Publishers, 2000)
BTW, I can neither confirm nor deny whether or not I own an "assault" rifle
(aka NOT a shotgun). Perhaps you too should have the option/choice of making
such a statement. What if ALL your neighbors could say the same thing? What if
every Jew in the Warsaw Ghetto could and DID own an "assault rifle"?

Very good point!!!
My definition of a terrorist is:
does not wear a uniform
does not have a chain of command that is publically known (e.g. can trace from recruit all the way to the head honcho)
does not have a publically known government
wilfully attacts non-military targets (e.g. pizza parlors, office buildings, etc)
does not have a code of conduct that enables them to punish themselves for violating natural law (e.g. United States' Uniform Code of Military Justice)
If you support/obey the United Nations Security Council Resolution then you don't get shutdown/cutoff. Otherwise you do get shutdown/cutoff.
The UN Security Council Resolution 1373 appears to authorize this action.
