The Austrian research group led by physicist Rainer Blatt suggests a fundamentally novel architecture for quantum computation. They have experimentally demonstrated quantum antennas, which enable the exchange of quantum information between two separate memory cells located on a computer chip. This offers new opportunities to build practical quantum computers. The researchers have published their work [...]
LESS than two years ago, at the G8 summit in L’Aquila in Italy, prime ministers and presidents sat down to talk about world trade and food security with Muammar Qaddafi.

The Muslim world, from North Africa to Iran, has experienced a wave of instability in the last few weeks. No regimes have been overthrown yet, although as of this writing, Libya was teetering on the brink. There have been moments in history where revolution spread in a region or around the world as if it [...]
Researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have developed an experimental vaccine that appears to protect against an increasingly common and particularly deadly form of pneumococcal pneumonia. Details of the new vaccine, which was tested in an animal model, are reported in a paper published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases. Pneumococcal [...]
CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand — Cheers erupted Wednesday as rescuers pulled a woman from a major building shattered in New Zealand’s devastating earthquake, while the mood was dismal at another wreckage where police said all hopes of survivors were finished.

For his documentaries on Fidel Castro and Che Guevara Cuban-American filmmaker Agustin Blazquez’ takes a truly revolutionary approach. Rather than expecting officials of Castro’s police state to reveal facts, Blazquez interviews eye-witnesses to Castroism who are (get this!) free to reveal facts without threat of Castro’s firing squads and torture chambers! And it’s not an [...]

Cuban prisoner of conscience Orlando Zapata Tamayo’s death from a hunger strike on Feb. 23, 2010, highlights the futility of most such protests against the Castro dictatorship.

CHEVRON is a “multinational monster”, says Ecuador’s populist president, Rafael Correa. Various celebrities agree (see picture).

It seems that with all the global events happening around us and effecting our lives, the one human created and abolishing phenomenon of “Global Warming” has been placed on the back burner. Personally, I have been a little distracted from the Global Warming issue since I have been pretty busy with extra physical activities. Things [...]
THE people of the Middle East have long despaired about the possibility of change. They have felt doomed: doomed to live under strongmen who have hoarded their wealth and beaten down dissent; doomed to have as an alternative only the Islamists who have imposed their harsh beliefs—and beaten down dissent. In some places, like Saudi [...]
Among Ernesto “Che” Guevara’s final requests before he was executed by Bolivian forces in 1967 was that a message of hope be sent back to Fidel Castro: the revolution would come to America. Che immediately became the martyr for the radical left, with his image seized by American protestors of the 1960s. Since then another, [...]
