Scientists have high hopes for Japan's Solar-B mission which has been launched from the Uchinoura spaceport.
The spacecraft will investigate the colossal explosions in the Sun's atmosphere known as solar flares.
These dramatic events release energy equivalent to tens of millions of hydrogen bombs in just a few minutes.
The probe will attempt to find out more about the magnetic fields thought to power solar flares, and try to identify the trigger that sets them off.

A week of coups, scandal and political instability took their toll of the world's emerging markets yesterday as fears of a looming US-led economic slowdown triggered a bout of selling by jittery investors.
Bonds, shares and currencies in the smaller, developing economies of eastern Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America suffered from the flight out of risky but high yielding assets and into safer havens. With markets already tense following this week's coup in Thailand and the admission by Hungary's socialist government that it had lied about the health of the economy to win power, investors were dealt a fresh double blow by Thursday's weak economic news in the US and the collapse of Poland's coalition government.

Basically, all Clinton does is help further the lies of the 9/11 myth.
Of course, as an adopted son of the Bush Crime Family...
Billy Clenis Bush won't dare tell the truth.
Clinton's hero Carroll Quiqley said in his book, 'Tragedy & Hope':
"The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can 'throw the rascals out' at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy."

Violence erupted across several parts of eastern Indonesia yesterday after three Christians were executed for leading attacks on Muslims during a sectarian conflict on Sulawesi island in 2000.
A prison in Atambua, in West Timor, the home of one of the militants, was stormed and 200 men escaped and attacked the prosecutors' office. On Flores, where the other two were born, police fired warning shots to save a parliament building from a mob. Protesters blocked roads and torched buildings elsewhere.

An e-mail criticising the RAF's work in Afghanistan was "irresponsible", the head of the British Army has said.
General Sir Richard Dannatt said it was "unfortunate" that the comments made by a major in the Parachute Regiment had been made public.
Major James Loden, of 3 Para, based in Helmand, had described the RAF as "utterly, utterly useless."
Gen Dannatt also admitted he was unsure how many soldiers had been wounded in Afghanistan since the conflict began.

Has anyone seen the movie Hud, as was shown o TCM last night?
There's a comical scene at the end of a local rodeo where the locals wrestle pigs.
The pigs are wheeled out by guys hoisting their hind legs, forcing them to trot on their forelegs.
Then they're let go in abandon, and a band of men rush forward, wrestling them, trying to present one captured to the judges first.
Ir's bad for man and beast, but the men are calm about it, as the crowd laughs. Very eerie. When Paul Newman wins the competition, the judge mentions he's as dirty as the pig

"Why is Bush so hostile to the idea of gay marriage? Perhaps because until 1987, George W. Bush was gay. According to a group of 29 Yale classmates who comprise Gay Ivy Leaguers for Truth, Bush was "known to be at least sexually experimental throughout his time in college." One of Bush's alleged former boyfriends, Anthony Berusca (class of '70), told The Dallas Morning News that Bush was "deeply conflicted about being gay, even somewhat self-hating." Berusca is convinced that this conflict led to Bush's drinking problems, but describes the President as a "gentle, caring lover". In 1986, the Bush family arranged for George to join Worthy Creations, a church group in El Paso that focuses on converting homosexuals through faith. A year later, Bush claimed to be straight, born again, and engaged to Laura Welch (Kitty Kelly in THE FAMILY wrote that Bush's twin daughters were not his offspring, but from a donor at a fertility clinic). Bush at all-male Phillips Academy in Andover , Massachusetts was "head" cheerleader. Drama club and cheerleading are where the gay boys hang out. George earned the nickname Lips Bush for his skill at giving blow jobs to his fraternity buddies, according to Kitty Kelley. Bush has gay-style excrement nick names for the people he hangs out with: "Turdblossom" term for Karl Rove Note the classic juxtaposition of the obscene with the feminine to come up with a nickname for a gay man. For example, the late David Lewis went under the name Sally Suckemsilly. "Bulldog" term for both Victor Ashe and Jeff Gannon aka Jim Gluckert "Pooty Poot" term for Vladimir Putin, Russian President. "Mr. Big O" term for lispy treasury secretary Paul O'Neill."

Up to 20,000 demonstrators have marched through the northern English city of Manchester to protest the presence of British troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The protests on Saturday took place on the eve of the governing Labour Party's annual gathering.
Protesters packed Manchester's central Albert Square on Saturday before setting off on a march around the conference centre where delegates will meet.
The five-day Labour meeting begins on Sunday.
A few hundred metres from a hotel where Blair and other party officials will stay, families of some of the British soldiers killed in Iraq set up a "peace camp" of a half dozen tents, where they intended to camp out in hopes of getting the prime minister's attention.

US detains Venezuela minister
From correspondents in Caracas
September 24, 2006
VENEZUELA said overnight its foreign minister, Nicolas Maduro, was detained at a New York airport and stripped of his travel documents and airplane ticket.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Maduro was detained for allegedly taking part in a failed coup attempt in Venezuela on February 4, 1992, that Mr Chavez had led against then-president Carlos Andres Perez.
But Mr Chavez said Mr Maduro was not involved in the coup.
It's apparently "not really gay" if you only do things you could theoretically do with women.

"Apparently he is on a list for February 4," Mr Chavez said on Venezuelan television. "But he was not in the rebellion." http://www.theaustralian.news.co...71- 1702,00.html
not to mention what our jurisdiction over such an occurrence is.

Her hair hasn't been dark in years.
I remember the cover of her "Vamps and Tramps" book. She's holding a knife trying to look like some badass mama.
A local book critic said she looked like a church lady in a production of "West Side Story."

well that how it was spelled on the menu but I suspect it been mispelled and is really this - Gilthead Bream
In France this sea fish is marketed as Dourade, and it is an expensive luxury food. In Wales gilthead bream can be found all around the shores, but most particularly in the south. Fish to more than 3 lb (1.4 kg) are sometimes caught by anglers, although the average is usually around 1 to 2 lb (0.5 to 1 kg).
The gold spot just behind the gill cover is the main distinguishing feature of the gilthead bream.

Gordon Brown will face public demands to call a snap general election if he becomes the next Prime Minister, forcing him into a politically dangerous confrontation with David Cameron's resurgent Conservative party.
A new opinion poll reveals 56 per cent of the public want the chance to have their say on the new leader of the Labour party, whoever it is, within the first six months. Voters are not content to leave the question of the next Prime Minister to the party and want him or her to earn the right to govern. The GFK/NOP poll found huge support for a genuine leadership battle rather than a coronation, with 81 per cent supporting a contest.
The findings create a problem for the Chancellor on the eve of this week's Labour conference. Some supporters of Brown feel that he will need at least a year to take on Cameron in a 'substance over style' battle.

i have said it before, and long ago. but i shall say it again. the wisest things that hugo should do are these....withdraw its ambassador to the usa, close all venezuelan consulates in the usa, throw out the amerikan diplomatic mission in
caracas[it is only a den of spooks], close venezuelan borders to amerikan citizens[preventing infiltration of spooks posing as tourists, business visitors], expropriate all amerikan property in venezuela[largest landowner used to be the rockefellers - still true?].
trade oil to china in exchange for chinese icbms. and the chinese techs to install and train venezuelan operators.
and start rounding up the amerikan fifth column in venezuela. label them terrorists and take them off to the venezuelan version of guantanamo. the amerikan version of gaza.
also, pull the venezuelan ambassador to israel[if there is one]. if there is an israeli diplomatic mission to venezuela, close it down and throw all of them out[this is another nest of spooks doing the bushit dance, maybe calling the bushit tunes]. close the venezuelan borders to israelis.
doing this will be most efficacious in preventing another amerikan-orchestrated coup. because one is in the works. most assuredly. the spawn of satan doesn't like it when his satanic nature is revealed. and he is a vengeful spawn of satan.
hugo. these measures can be explained by the usg's refusal to extradite the terrorist, luis posada carriles, to venezuela. have at it.

I've never liked the game of bridge--any art is in the bidding, and you can master it by the odds.
I prefer Siberian Whist, a similar game with a crucial difference. Instead of dealing 13 cards to each player, one deals 12, putting a "nest" of 4 in the center. Whoever bids the hghest gets the 4 and gets to distribute them.
It's such an advantage, it encourages reckless overbidding to get those cards. You have to recklessly overbid to win

So, a recap of the Iraq war: there were never any WMDs. The proliferation of government death squads and militias in Iraq means that, compared to the Saddam era, human rights have worsened and torture has increased to record levels. Iranian influence has massively increased, as a result of a Shiite fundamentalist government loyal to Tehran replacing the former anti-Iranian regime. We've squandered hundreds of billions of dollars and thousands of lives. And we have -- according to the consensus of our own intelligence community -- directly worsened the terrorist problem with our invasion, and continue to worsen it with our ongoing occupation.
I like how you're smooshing words together these days, like: backannounce and notforgottenblogging.
It's mostly because I'm typing too fast and I'm too lazy to figure out the correct spellingand/orhyphenation.

If we tuck and run, the terrorists will have won. rorschach
The new Superman Ken doll is the first Ken doll I've ever seen who actually has an imposing presence—until you look at his little red briefs. Not only is there nothing super there, but there is nothing at all. Not that I was willing to unbox Ken and pull down his Superman Speedos between the Toasties and Crunchy Dills, but I'd put good money that Barbie's little petrochemical pelvis has a bigger plastic lump than Kryptonite Ken's super flop.
Based on the total lack of a boy bulge, the new Superman Ken doll looks like he's got a transgendered thing going on. You don't know if his briefs are on their way to becoming panties, or if the panties recently became briefs, but if the pouch in the front of them were a Christmas stocking, you could bet good money that Clark Kent had been a very bad little boy.

OT Blast from the Past:
I imagine a sweaty and hot Carville parting Mary's legs. He wildly licks her dewy pussy with complete abandon. Her eyes squeezed shut, she's stroking his head, pushing down hard, back and forth, kneading his cranium. They are in the last throes of passion. Mary's just about at the point of orgasm, and James abruptly stops, glances up at her with his shit eating grin, and says, "Tell me, now, what you know about Novak, or I don't finish!"
Speaking of Krytonite -- anyone seen Hollywoodland? We boomers watched Superman every day -- to have Superman kill himself was kind of traumatic (maybe that's why the boomers invaded Iraq -- or something)

'Iraqi troops refusing Baghdad duty'
Saturday 23 September 2006, 20:53 Makka Time, 17:53 GMT
Iraqi forces reportedly do not want to redeploy to Baghdad
The US commander in Baghdad has said that more troops are needed on the streets of Baghdad, but Iraqi soldiers are refusing to leave other parts of the country to serve in the capital.
Major-General James Thurman said on Friday: "I would tell you I need more Iraqi security forces."
Thurman said that the Iraqi government had failed to supply six Iraqi army battalions - roughly 500 soldiers in each - to reinforce the streets of the capital.
"Baghdad's security hinges on the capabilities of the Iraqi security forces," Thurman said, arguing against moving more US soldiers to Baghdad. http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/

Everyone hated Part III so much. I only saw it once, and it's been a long time (since whenever it came out) but I don't remember it being that bad. It's nowhere in the same league as the first two, but then what is? I suppose, given the first two, anything that wasn't equally good was going to be considered a failure.

Congress in dark on terror program
Few briefed on CIA interrogation
By Rick Klein, Globe Staff | September 23, 2006
WASHINGTON -- As lawmakers prepare to debate the CIA's special interrogation program for terrorism suspects, fewer than 10 percent of the members of Congress have been told which interrogation techniques have been used in the past, and none of them know which ones would be permissible under proposed changes to the War Crimes Act.
This is the same thing that happened before the invasion of Iraq. Congress was left in the dark with the Executive Branch having all the necessary information that would make an informed vote possible. This time around don't let it happen. This administration has made very clear that the term, 'the President has information that we don't have' will not be enough to vote in favor of such a thing as important as torture.
There is no good torture and a bill exempting those who use inhumane techniques like torture is not in this nations best interest.
Avoid Godfather III at all cost. It's a sad excuse of a movie. It has nothing to do with Sofia Coppola playing Mary. It's just a badly written movie.
And the lighting is so different from the lighting in the first two movies — it's too bright, too white — that the tone of Godfather 3 immediately feels discordant, and that discomfort doesn't resolve itself.

After months of unrelenting bad news, President Bush and his Republican allies have begun to change the mood, if not the overall trajectory, of a midterm election campaign that has tilted against them for a year.
A combination of good luck -- in the form of a sharp decline in gasoline prices -- and dogged persistence by the president's political team in trying to redefine the terms of the fall campaign has given a much-needed morale boost to beleaguered Republican candidates.
What, exactly, is the difference between the Moonie Times and the Washington Post? If there is one, I can't see it.

"There is no good torture and a bill exempting those who use inhumane techniques like torture is not in this nations best interest."
I can see no room for arguing for torture. The need for it has to be so high that the one performing it places their own welfare on the line for the good of the nation.
It is the same difference as that person who steps into the line of fire to do what needs to be done. But for those people there are no guarantees they will escape unscathed.
So the guy in the backroom who tortures walks away scott free, no need for heroics and stoicism. Nothing put on the line. Torture is easy then.

"Mr. Yoo cites this goal as a reason the administration has fought a “pre-emptive’’ war, “data-mined communications in the United States to root out terrorism,’’ detained terrorists without “formal’’ charges and conducted “harsh’’ interrogations.
"The agenda includes the reclassification of government information and the withholding of information from Congress and the courts, and has been buttressed by the president’s “signing statements,’’ which Mr. Yoo asserts claim the president’s right not to enforce “unconstitutional’’ laws.
"In our system of government, it is the courts that determine the constitutionality of laws, not the president.
"But Mr. Yoo takes his argument further, asserting that the president can ignore laws like the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act because they have produced “dysfunction.’’ Indeed, according to Mr. Yoo, the president can ignore both laws and judicial decisions that he deems “wrongheaded’’ or “obsolete.’’
"These views are clearly offensive to our constitutional system. It is long past time for Congress to reassert its proper role in checking an executive branch that has so little respect for the principles that have sustained our democracy for more than 200 years."

Avoid Godfather III at all cost. It's a sad excuse of a movie. It has nothing to do with Sofia Coppola playing Mary. It's just a badly written movie.
No, Sofia Coppola is abysmal. I tried to like her and rationalize her performance... could never do it.
However, Al Pacino is even worse. Almost as bad as Talia Shire.

Marriage is a good thing. I have been married for thirty five years now. You just have to remember to respect each other (and let her have her way on the stuff she thinks are important.)
Seriously, would not have it any other way. I am sure there are things about me she would love to change. (and vice versa) But overall it has worked well. (Never even had a serious fight in that time)

It's why I hate marriage at this moment, watertiger. I have a very dear friend who confessed to me that he is in love with me much earlier in the week (our friendship has been solid for at least 8 years), and I've felt the same way - though I've kept my feelings reined in for years...because I realize the futility of it all. He's married (not happily - hasn't been happy in marriage since I've known him). However, we both acknowledge that we can't go there. So it's just very fucking weird. I considered ending the friendship, actually, and am still thinking about it. I don't know that that's the right thing to do, either. We're both grown up enough not to act on it.
He won't divorce - too Catholic, and he takes his vows seriously. I've told him for years to talk to his wife, but she won't talk (he's open like I am), so the whole thing is utterly ridiculous, but it isn't my problem, except that I adore him. I hate drama.

Seems like it would have been so easy if they had just found the WMD and come back home.
Why should it be so hard to not find the WMD and just come back home?
Speaking of bringing the kiddies, should I bring them to New York?
YES!

I don't know where this "stand up for marriage" bit comes from. Troll? Joking?
I've found the worst barrier to something like marriage is real estate. Maybe it's just my choices, but nobody who likes me can afford a house, as I can't maybe.

Move the fuck on.
But then, that's just me.
background: of all the relationships (of mine and other's) on which i based that theorem, there was a substantial and exquisite pre-marital relationship. post-marriage, the male changed and generally worked to fix that which wasn't broke. as soon as things settled back to what was working before, it got better.

I'm not so sure, ror. I want it really, really bad. I'm shocked at how much I'm alternating between wanting it and doing the right thing.
This person and I have always had sparks. And I know it would sizzle - it's there.
Nonetheless...he doesn't know how badly I want him (I've kept that to myself), although he does know that I'm quite...sexual...and passionate. (Kind of difficult for me to hide.) And men of his nationality have always been my Achilles' Heel. I don't know why that is, but it is.
But you know, I think I should probably just shut up about it. Why hijack the thread over a stupid issue like this?
My best bet might be just to go to bed.

Yes, but other reasons sometimes, too. Fear of the unknown (the devil you know and so on). In some places societal pressures are strong to stay married at any cost. And some people have a weird sort of need to have a battle going on to feel alive or some such thing.

I'm still a bit dumbfounded after Manchurian Candidate, a movie I could watch every month, still get something new.
What rash yet lucid editing, taking out everything you don't need, assuming you'll fill it in. What a sad ending, Sinatra reading official BS, walking away saying "Hell, hell.."
Everything about the movie was a recipe for concise storytelling, all packed into a beyond subversive political sense defying all categories.
As I said before, my wingnut mother likes the movie as much as I. Do either of us misunderstand it?

That was a theme of Brecht's, and he felt a need to dramatize it, mocking any such person. I think he had a troublesome ladyfriend. He said "He had a tiny life which he felt the need to fill up with artificial drama and conflict, invented from wherever."
Yes--My beloved, long lost Robert was the same. If he couldn't provoke a fight with me, he didn't think I cared. I wouldn't fight, infuriating him further. I could have settled things by fighting, paradoxically.
