The House "has been run like a plantation, and you know what I'm talking about," said Clinton, D-New York. I don’t disagree with the substance of her claims regarding the Republicans. But for her to link the current political climate to the genuine evil that was slavery in the South is both morally irresponsible and reprehensible. Playing the race card to underscore a political message in this fashion disgusts me and it should have been interpreted as an insult by her audience. What a pathetic portent of future political discourse in this country. Blutarsky 2008. No Prisoners!

What a buffoon, who trivializes the legacy of slavery for selfish reasons. Sen. Clinton: House 'has been run like a plantation' NEW YORK (AP) -- Sen. Hillary Clinton on Monday blasted the Bush administration as "one of the worst" in U.S. history and compared the Republican-controlled House of Representatives to a plantation where dissenting voices are squelched. Speaking during a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event, Clinton also offered an apology to a group of Hurricane Katrina survivors "on behalf of a government that left you behind, that turned its back on you." Her remarks were met with thunderous applause by a mostly black audience at the Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem. The House "has been run like a plantation, and you know what I'm talking about," said Clinton, D-New York. "It has been run in a way so that nobody with a contrary view has had a chance to present legislation, to make an argument, to be heard." "We have a culture of corruption, we have cronyism, we have incompetence," she said. "I predict to you that this administration will go down in history as one of the worst that has ever governed our country." A spokeswoman for the White House declined to comment and referred questions to the Republican National Committee. RNC spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt said: "On a day when Americans are focused on the legacy of Martin Luther King, Hillary Clinton is focused on the legacy of Hillary Clinton."

That the Brits have already floated a serious proposal which would have banned chef's knives beyond a certain length. Like I posted. Blutarsky 2008. No Prisoners!

A BAN was proposed and authorities, to include the British Home Office, actually gave the proposal serious consideration: Doctors' kitchen knives ban call BBC A&E doctors are calling for a ban on long pointed kitchen knives to reduce deaths from stabbing. A team from West Middlesex University Hospital said violent crime is on the increase - and kitchen knives are used in as many as half of all stabbings. They argued many assaults are committed impulsively, prompted by alcohol and drugs, and a kitchen knife often makes an all too available weapon. The research is published in the British Medical Journal. The researchers said there was no reason for long pointed knives to be publicly available at all. They consulted 10 top chefs from around the UK, and found such knives have little practical value in the kitchen. None of the chefs felt such knives were essential, since the point of a short blade was just as useful when a sharp end was needed. The researchers said a short pointed knife may cause a substantial superficial wound if used in an assault - but is unlikely to penetrate to inner organs. In contrast, a pointed long blade pierces the body like "cutting into a ripe melon". The use of knives is particularly worrying amongst adolescents, say the researchers, reporting that 24% of 16-year-olds have been shown to carry weapons, primarily knives. The study found links between easy access to domestic knives and violent assault are long established. French laws in the 17th century decreed that the tips of table and street knives be ground smooth. A century later, forks and blunt-ended table knives were introduced in the UK in an effort to reduce injuries during arguments in public eating houses. The researchers say legislation to ban the sale of long pointed knives would be a key step in the fight against violent crime. "The Home Office is looking for ways to reduce knife crime. "We suggest that banning the sale of long pointed knives is a sensible and practical measure that would have this effect." Government response Home Office spokesperson said there were already extensive restrictions in place to control the sale and possession of knives. "The law already prohibits the possession of offensive weapons in a public place, and the possession of knives in public without good reason or lawful authority, with the exception of a folding pocket knife with a blade not exceeding three inches. "Offensive weapons are defined as any weapon designed or adapted to cause injury, or intended by the person possessing them to do so. "An individual has to demonstrate that he had good reason to possess a knife, for example for fishing, other sporting purposes or as part of his profession (e.g. a chef) in a public place. "The manufacture, sale and importation of 17 bladed, pointed and other offensive weapons have been banned, in addition to flick knives and gravity knives." A spokesperson for the Association of Chief Police Officers said: "ACPO supports any move to reduce the number of knife related incidents, however, it is important to consider the practicalities of enforcing such changes."

“… NASA last year estimated the cost of decontamination, should there be a serious accident with plutonium released during the launch, at anywhere from $241 million to $1.3 billion per square mile, depending on the size of the area …” In view of past space shuttle catastrophic failures, the gravity of the potential harm here and the relative importance of the information to be obtained, is this mission to Bluto worth the risk in your opinion? Plutonium on Pluto mission worries anti-nuke activists CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (AP) -- More than eight years ago, hundreds of protesters chanted anti-nuclear slogans before NASA launched a spacecraft to Saturn carrying 72 pounds of plutonium fuel. The noise before this week's launch of a craft with a similar payload has been more muted. Only 30 anti-nuclear protesters showed up recently to oppose a plutonium-fueled mission to Pluto. The most raucous it got was when protesters tied colorful origami birds to the fence of the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. "Folks tend to forget," said protest organizer Maria Telesca of the Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space. But Telesca and other protesters said the threat of a nuclear accident is no less real with the New Horizons mission to Pluto than it was with the launch of Cassini to Saturn in 1997. Plutonium fuel has been used on two other spacecrafts taking off from the Cape Canaveral area since Cassini's launch. The two Mars rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, sent up in 2003, had much smaller amounts of plutonium, which creates energy from natural radioactive decay. Twenty-four pounds of radioactive plutonium is located in New Horizon's radioisotope thermoelectric generator, an aluminum-encased, 123-pound cylinder, 31/2 feet long and 11/2-foot wide, that sticks out of the spacecraft like a gun on a tank. Inside the cylinder are 18 graphite-enclosed compartments, each holding 1 1/3 pounds of the plutonium dioxide. Similar generators previously have been used to power six Apollo flights and 19 other U.S. space missions. NASA and the U.S. Department of Energy have put the probability of an early-launch accident that would cause plutonium to be released at 1 in 350 chances. NASA last year estimated the cost of decontamination, should there be a serious accident with plutonium released during the launch, at anywhere from $241 million to $1.3 billion per square mile, depending on the size of the area. If there was an accident during an early phase of the launch, the maximum mean radiation dose received by an individual within 62 miles of the launch site would be about 80 percent of the amount each U.S. resident receives annually from natural background radiation, according to NASA's environmental impact statement. The space agency is setting up two radiological control centers and deploying 16 mobile field teams that can detect radiation around the launch site. Medical personnel at local hospitals also have been trained in the treatment of patients exposed to radioactive materials, and the launch required the approval of the White House. The emergency plans are ready for Tuesday, "if need be, but hopefully not," NASA launch director Omar Baez said Sunday at a news conference. Some NASA safety managers had raised concerns about the New Horizons mission when a fuel tank similar to the one expected to be used failed a pressure test during factory evaluation. The original launch date was pushed back a few days to allow more time to examine the flight tank, but the decision ultimately was made to fly since the flight tank was in pristine condition and had no signs of any defects, Baez said. Even if plutonium were released during an accident at launch, the risk to the population would be low because of the small amount of nuclear material and the remoteness of the launch pad from populated areas, said Alice Caponiti, nuclear material and safety manager at the Department of Energy's Office of Space and Defense Power Systems. "Once you get a probability of an accident occurring, the question is what's the impact to people?" Caponiti said. "That's where the risk is low." Copyright 2006 The Associated Press.

Slant drilling by the Kuwaits is certain to piss off the Iranians. Should the Iranians respond aggressively then certain countries will have achieved the pretext they are attempting to create. It’s like deja vu all over again … Kuwait to explore part of the Dorra Gasfield Nicosia | January 12, 2006 12:08:49 PM IST Kuwaits Energy Ministry will proceed with the exploration of the undisputed part of the offshore Dorra gasfield in the Partitioned (Neutral) Zone. The sovereignty of Dorrra gasfield, which is believed to have recoverable gas reserves amounting to approximately 7 trillion cu ft, is shared by Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Iran. Back in 2000 tension among the three states rose to dangerous levels, when Iran started drilling activity in an undelineated area. Two months later Saudi Arabia and Kuwait succeeded in reaching agreement in demarcating the maritime border between them. The agreement envisaged that the two countries will share oil and gas finds in the area. Isa al-Aun, Undersecretary at the Kuwaiti Energy Ministry said that his Ministry has been given the go ahead for a joint exploration and development of the southern part of the Dorra gasfield. He added that in a few days they will invite tenders for 2D and 3D seismic surveys after which exploration will start.

Nope. Test confirms guilt of Virginia man executed in 1992 Reuters Thu Jan 12, 2006 4:01 PM ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A new DNA test confirmed the guilt of a Virginia man who proclaimed his innocence up until his 1992 execution for rape and murder, the Virginia governor's office said on Thursday. "We have sought the truth using DNA technology not available at the time the (Virginia) Commonwealth carried out the ultimate criminal sanction" against Roger Keith Coleman, Virginia Gov. Mark Warner said in a statement. "The confirmation that Roger Coleman's DNA was present reaffirms the verdict and the sanction." Coleman was executed in May 1992 for the 1981 rape and murder of his 19-year-old sister-in-law, Wanda McCoy. He repeatedly proclaimed his innocence. The governor's office said the new test by the Center of Forensic Sciences in Toronto concluded Coleman could not be excluded, on the basis of biological evidence, as the source of incriminating DNA found on the victim. "The probability that a randomly selected individual unrelated to Roger Coleman would coincidentally share the observed DNA profile is estimated to be 1 in 19 million," the center said in its report. The original DNA testing in the case, done in 1990, indicated that evidence taken from the victim would match DNA shared by Coleman and 2 percent of the Caucasian and African-American populations. New Jersey-based Centurion Ministries, which advocates for those it believes are wrongly convicted and pushed for the updated DNA test in Coleman's case, accepted the lab's findings. "We who seek the truth must live or die by the sword of DNA," James McCloskey, Centurion's executive director, said in a statement. "I had always believed in Roger's complete innocence. In my view, he had no motive, means or opportunity to do this crime. I now know that I was wrong. Indeed, this is a bitter pill to swallow." Warner, a Democrat who supports the death penalty, leaves office on Saturday. Last month, Warner pardoned two men who served prison terms for sexual assault after they were exonerated by DNA testing techniques unavailable when they went to trial. The men had already completed their sentences, serving terms of nearly 20 years and 11 years, respectively. © Reuters 2006 Source: http://today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=domesticNews&storyID=2006-01-12T210111Z_01_DIT275657_RTRUKOC_0_US-CRIME-VIRGINIA-DNA.xml&archived=False Blutarsky 2008.
