Emma
Maesk 2 World's largest Cargo Ship. 15,000 containers and a 207'
beam. NOT designed for the Panama or Suez canal, strictly transpacific.
cruise speed of 31 mph means the goods arrive 4 days before the typical
container ship (18-20 mph) on a China-to-California run. So this
behemoth is hugely competitive carrying
perishable goods. This ship was built in five sections. The sections
floated together and then welded. The command bridge is higher than
a 10 story building and has 11 crane rigs that can operate simultaneously.
Country of origin - Denmark
Length - 1,302 ft
Width - 207 ft
Net cargo - 123,200 tons
Engine - 14 in-line cylinders diesel engine (110,000 BHP) Cruise

Silicone paint applied to the ship bottom reduces water resistance
and saves 317,000 gallons of diesel per year

US Scientists Call For Giant Wildlife Park To Save World's Great Mammals
The Wild West, Paris (AFP) Aug 17, 2005
The best way to save the planet's large wild mammals facing extinction
this century, including lions, cheetahs, elephants and camels,
is the creation of a huge nature preserve in the US midwest, a
group of leading biologists argue in this week's issue of Nature
magazine. (from terradaily.com)
meaning:
a very complex concept which can have many interpretations. In this
context we will assume it signifies the "why" (origin -
past) or "wherefore" (purpose - future) of life, but in
a way our answer also may explain us the "what" (definition
- present).
life:
in this context it normally means our present being here on earth,
but this may be generalized to include life as a particular type
of organization and development characterizing biological organisms,
and even more universally as organization and development in general.

Of 36,000,000 (Thirty Six Million USD) on further discreet investigation, I also discovered that the account holder has long since passed away (dead) leaving no beneficiary to the account. The bank will approve this money to any foreigner because the former operator of the a/c is a foreigner and from Iraq in particular and I am certainly sure that he is dead, and nobody will come again for the claim of this money A foreigner can only claim this money with legal claims to the account Holder; therefore I need your cooperation in this transaction. I will provide the necessary information needed in order to claim this money, But you will need to open an account where this can be transferred. If interested send your private Telephone No. And Fax number including full details of the account to be used for the Deposit I wish for utmost confidentiality in handling this transaction as my job and the future of my family would be jeopardized if it were breached. The informations will be as follows....... Bank Name......... Bank Address........ A/C Name............. A/C Number.............. Swift Code No.............. Routing Number................

http://www.sagepub.com/Elspeth Brown - University of Toronto - In the past several years, visual culture studies has emerged as a new interdisciplinary field of inquiry. Historians and critics are unlikely to agree on a definition or a methodology for this new area of study but as a start, perhaps we can agree that visual culture concerns those visual events in which cultural meaning is created through the interaction of the subject and visual technology. Visual technology is itself a broad term and includes, in Nick Mizroeff's capacious definition, "any form of apparatus designed either to be looked at or to enhance natural vision, from oil painting to television and the Internet." Visual culture studies also suggests a shift from a focus on structured viewing settings, such as the art gallery or the cinema, to an investigation into the role of visual experience in everyday life.

"Take It With Me
(Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan)
Phone's off the hook
No one knows where we are
It's a long time since I
Drank champagne
The ocean is blue
As blue as your eyes
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go
Old long since gone
Now way back when
We lived in Coney Island
Ain't no good thing
Ever dies
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go
Far far away a train
Whistle blows
Wherever you're goin
Wherever you've been
Waving good bye at the end
Of the day
You're up and you're over
And you're far away
Always for you, and
Forever yours
It felt just like the old days
We fell asleep on Beaula's porch
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go
All broken down by
The side of the road
I was never more alive or
Alone
I've worn the faces off
All the cards
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go
Children are playing
At the end of the day
Strangers are singing
On our lawn
It's got to be more
Than flesh and bone
All that you're loved
Is all you own
In a land there's a town
And in that town there's
A house
And in that house
There's a woman
And in that woman
There's a hart I love
I'm gonna take it
With me when I go
I'm gonna take it
With me when I go

Pentagon Weighs Use of Deception in a Broad Arena
By THOM SHANKER and ERIC SCHMITT Published: December 13, 2004 WASHINGTON,
Dec. 12 - The Pentagon is engaged in bitter, high-level debate over
how far it can and should go in managing or manipulating information
to influence opinion abroad, senior Defense Department civilians
and military officers say. Such missions, if approved, could take
the deceptive techniques endorsed for use on the battlefield to confuse
an adversary and adopt them for covert propaganda campaigns aimed
at neutral and even allied nations.
Zoologist finds urchins can live 200 years
By Joe Rojas-Burke NEWHOUSE NEWS SERVICE Perhaps it's
the strict vegetarian diet – seaweed only – or the meditative
lifestyle, seldom moving more than 3 feet a day across the ocean floor.
Whatever the reason for the red sea urchin's longevity, the spiny species
common along the Western coast has proved to be one of the planet's
longest-lived animals. Individuals readily survive for a century, and
perhaps much longer, according to a study.

The Army sees Future Combat, the most expensive weapons program it has ever undertaken, as a seamless web of 18 different sets of networked weapons and military robots. The program is at the heart of Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld's campaign to transform the Army into a faster, lighter force in which stripped-down tanks could be put on a transport plane and flown into battle, and information systems could protect soldiers of the future as heavy armor has protected them in the past.
Army officials say the task is a technological challenge as complicated as putting an astronaut on the moon. They call Future Combat weapons, which may take more than a decade to field, crucial for a global fight against terror.
But the bridge to the future remains a blueprint. Army officials issued a stop-work order in January for the network that would link Future Combat weapons, citing its failure to progress. They said this month that they did not know if they could build a tank light enough to fly.
The Army is asking Congress to approve Future Combat while it is fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan whose costs, according to the Congressional Research Service, now exceed $275 billion. Future Combat is one of the biggest items in the Pentagon's plans to build more than 70 major weapons systems at a cost of more than $1.3 trillion.
The Army has canceled two major weapons programs, the Crusader artillery system and the Comanche helicopter, "to protect funding for the Future Combat System," said Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona and a member of the Armed Services Committee. "That is why we have to get the F.C.S. program right."
David M. Walker, the comptroller general of the United States, said in an interview that the Pentagon's future arsenal was unaffordable and Congress needed "to make some choices now."
"There is a substantial gap between what the Pentagon is seeking in weapons systems and what we will be able to afford and sustain," said Mr. Walker, who oversees the Government Accountability Office, the budget watchdog of Congress. "We are not going to be able to afford all of this."
He added, "Every dollar we spend on a want today is a dollar we won't be able to spend on a need tomorrow.
