| UN : No Hamas fighters in targeted schoolThu, 08 Jan 2009 08:46:39 -0800 by 1GangRelatedThe head of the UN agency in Gaza running the school that was attacked by Israel forces has rejected claims that Hamas fighters were inside the converted shelter.The Israeli military accused Hamas of using civilians sheltering inside the building as "human shields" and said its troops had returned fire after fighters fired mortars at their positions from within al-Fakhora school in the Jabaliya refugee camp.But John Ging, the director of operations in Gaza for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (Unrwa), told reporters that he had visited the school during a three-hour lull in the fighting on Wednesday and "was reassured by the management of the school ... that there were no militants in the school".Ging added that these were his "own staff, senior, experienced, long-serving staff"."I am very confident now that there was no militant activity inside the school nor militants in the school," he said.He also reiterated a call for an independent investigation into the incident."If anybody has evidence to the contrary, then let's bring it forward," Ging said.The Israeli strike on Tuesday left 43 Palestinians dead and about 100 injured.At least 700 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza and nearly 3,085 wounded since Israel's military offensive began on December 27.Seven Israeli soldiers and three civilians have died in the same period.The Israeli army said on Wednesday it stood by its statement issued the day before in which it claimed that mortars had been fired "from within" the school, but then issued another statement later dropping the word "within" to say "mortar fire from" the school.Chris Gunness, a spokesman for Unrwa, said this was "an extremely important distinction because we have been accused of very serious allegations that our premises were being used to fire rockets".Michel Abdel Massih QC, a London-based international human rights lawyer, also called for an independent investigation."If [Israeli] claims are to be tested properly we need an independent tribunal. The International Criminal Court was set up to deal with these issues, so there is a mechanism for the UN security council to refer the case for investigation," he told Al Jazeera.When asked if Israel would allow such an investigation, Mark Regev, a spokesman for the Israeli prime minister, said Israel had already held an "initial investigation" which found that troops had returned fire from the UN building.Regev accused Hamas, the Palestinian faction that controls the Gaza Strip, of committing a "war crime" by using those sheltering in the UN school as "a human shield".The incident has provoked strong international condemnation with Ban-Ki-moon, secretary-general of the United Nations, branding both the incident and Hamas rocket attacks as "unacceptable" - Thanks to ArchivesAlgeriennes -Reporters in Gaza :http://ingaza.wordp ress.com/http://elec tronicintifada.net/n ew.shtml Related: breaking news breakers un no hamas fighters in targeted school | |

| Probability For Life Originating By Chance - Origin of LifeThu, 08 Jan 2009 07:37:21 -0800 by bornagain7777777"... no operation performed by a computer can create new information."-- Douglas G. Robertson, "Algorithmic Information Theory, Free Will and the Turing Test," Complexity, Vol.3, #3 Jan/Feb 1999, pp. 25-34. The oldest sedimentary rocks on earth, known to science, originated underwater (and thus in relatively cool environs) 3.86 billion years ago. Those sediments, which are exposed at Isua in southwestern Greenland, also contain the earliest chemical evidence (fingerprint) of photosynthetic life [Nov. 7, 1996, Nature]. This evidence has been fought by naturalists, since it is totally contrary to their evolutionary theory. Yet, Danish scientists were able to bring forth another line of geological evidence to substantiate the primary line of geological evidence for photo-synthetic life in the earths earliest known sedimentary rocks (Indications of Oxygenic Photosynthesis, Earth and Planetary Science Letters 6907 (2003). Thus we have two lines of hard conclusive evidence for photo-synthetic life in the oldest known sedimentary rocks ever found by scientists on earth! The simplest photosynthetic bacterial life on earth is exceedingly complex, too complex to happen by accident even if the primeval oceans had been full of the hypothetical pre-biotic soup which evolutionists have absolutely no geological evidence of.Is the Chemical Origin of Life (Abiogenesis) a Realistic Scenario?http://www. godandscience.org/ev olution/chemlife.htm lThe RNA World: A Critiquehttp://www.a rn.org/docs/odesign/ od171/rnaworld171.ht m"To grasp the reality of life as it has been revealed by molecular biology, we must first magnify a cell a thousand million times until it is 20 kilometers in diameter and resembles a giant airship large enough to cover a great city like London or New York. What we would see then would be an object of unparalleled complexity,...we would find ourselves in a world of supreme technology and bewildering complexity."Genetici st Michael Denton PhD., Evolution: A Theory In Crisis, pg.328There are approximately...One- hundred-and-fifty-th ree-thousand different types or classes of proteins in the human body. An individual protein is so small that we would have to magnify it a million times to be able to see it with our eyes. Each protein is made of a complex sequence of the twenty different L-amino acids which are the basic building blocks of all life forms on earth. How complex? Let us consider insulin, one of the simplest proteins. It has fifty-one possible locations for an L-amino acid to occupy. If we theoretically try every possible combination of putting the twenty different L-amino acids in the fifty-one places possible, and we filled a basket (large) with just one electron from all the combinations, the basket would weigh one-hundred billion times the weight of the earth!!

| ANP INVESTIGATION: Pastor Hagee's Extreme MakeoverThu, 08 Jan 2009 07:35:25 -0800 by AmericanNewsProjectIn late May, after three months of deliberation, John McCain called Pastor John Hagee "crazy" and renounced his endorsement. But Hagee has come back stronger than ever -- thanks to friends like William Kristol, Joe Lieberman . . . and the public relations firm 5W, which also represents Microsoft, Snoop Dogg and Pamela Anderson. This week in Washington, D.C., Hagee's non-profit organization, Christians United for Israel (CUFI), brought together five thousand supporters of the bedeviled pastor, and a new regime of media relations was much in evidence.

| Stockholm University team in International Siberian Shelf StudyThu, 08 Jan 2009 06:52:37 -0800 by StockholmUniversityThe International Siberian Shelf Study (ISSS-08) was the largest field program on the Siberian-Arctic shelves during the International Polar Year (IPY). The forty-five day ISSS-08 expedition addressed interaction and carbon flow between land, shelf and the Arctic Basin, with specific focus on the Laptev and East Siberian Seas, the largest but least-studied shelf seas in the world. Researchers from Stockholm University and other Swedish institutions participated in the programme. The expedition was conducted in collaboration with the Russian Academy of Sciences and was based on the Russian research vessel YAKOV SMIRNITSKII. The researchers made international headlines when they revealed evidence of large high methane concentrations in both the seawater and overlying air, obviously released from thought-to-be frozen seabed stores off the north coast of Siberia. Örjan Gustafsson, Associate Professor at the Department of Applied Environmental Science, Stockholm University, was leading the fifteen-strong Swedish team onboard.http://www.s u.se/english/about/n ews_and_events/stock holm_university_pola r_research_makes_int ernational_waves?pag e=5 Related: "polar research" "Örjan gustafsson" "climate change" greenhouse methane isss siberia arctic | |
