A Chronicle reporter was present when the astronaut arrived. First seeing the image on a large computer screen, she had one word: "Wow." In the critical shot, a glowing purple rope of light corkscrews down toward the plasma trail, appears to pass behind it, then cuts sharply toward it from below. As it merges with the plasma trail, the streak itself brightens for a distance, then fades. "It certainly appears very anomalous," said Jernigan. "We sure will be very interested in taking a very hard look at this." ... read full story / add a comment

On 31 january, activists held a 12 hr vigil in Derry's Guildhall on the 31 anniversary of Bloody Sunday against Raytheon, the arms trade, and the commission of the Bloody Sundays of the 21st century. At the end of the vigil they posed for a photograph holding a placard which reads "FREE MARY KELLY", in honour of their Donegal sister charged with allegedly sabotaging an American weapon of mass destruction at Shannon. A spokeswoman for the group told indymedia "As the Bloody Sunday relatives can tell you, States committ horrific crimes against ordinary citizens in the pursuit of their interests. They then turn around and demand that you bury the hatchet and turn the page of history so that they can be let off the hook. That's bonkers. Mary Kelly has it the right way round. The only place to bury your hatchet is in the instruments that are going to ... read full story / add a comment

Government spending this January has increased by 33% over January 2003. The reason is that Charlie McCreevy wants to hide the massive 2002 increase in spending that got Fianna Fail re-elected. So he 'moved' a lot of 2002 spending into 2003. The Greens want a diferent system of accounting that will stop this kind of book-fixing. ... read full story / add a comment

While of course the Irish law enforcement authorities have a duty to intern the US armed forces and their aircraft at Shannon, and no amount of "security breaches" around the perimeter fence could come close to the risks posed by the bomb laden US military cargo aircraft at Shannon... this one *is* a gem...

His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi proclaimed the readiness of his Global Country of World Peace to achieve the "seemingly impossible - to transform today's problem-ridden world by creating prevention-oriented, problem-free administration in every country. To do so, Maharishi revealed his Vedic technologies of consciousness to eliminate "karma" - to prevent the negative influences of past wrong actions by a nation's people from creating new problems and suffering for the whole country. ... read full story / add a comment

There seems to be something a bit odd happening on RTE in the last few days. I'm sure that most people can agree that our state/commercial news sources are far from unbiased but I think that there has been a new tendency towards a more overt slant recently. ... read full story / add a comment

I'm so sorry to see that the camp is being disbanded. It was manned and womanned by groups and individuals who feel that (while having diverse viewpoints and agendas) we cannot stand back this time and do nothing. I hope that the anti war movement grows from strength to strength. ... read full story / add a comment |
