One of the tactics that Shell have deployed in their scheme to install a huge refinery at Bellanaboy is to try and make people believe that the controversy is somehow only of interest to Mayo, that is is somehow an issue only for "locals". So it's good to see BBC Ulster covering the story. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/northern_ireland/639...9.stm It's also interesting to see a guide for those (unlike indymedia readers) who may not have heard anything much about the campaign to get Shell to Sea. read full story / add a comment

After last Friday's peak experience in Bellanaboy, after that quantum lift to our spirits by the peaceful occupation of Shell's refinery site it was back to the foot slogging of picketing again and, in comparison, the banality of pro forma activism. read full story / add a comment

Jesús Mari Zabala Mugira is reported as having begun a hunger strike on the 16th of February. His protest which seems without indications to the contrary to be his own decision has been reported quite speedily by the Basque "political prisoner support network" who yesterday sent out the word to various media organisations only 7 days after he began what is still technically an extended fast. Zabala is about to finish serving a sentence in Saint Martin de Re prison in France (on the 8th of March) whereupon he will most likely be extradited to Spain to face other charges. His hunger strike is aimed at evading that transfer. He was detained in the French Basque in 2000 as part of an operation against the logistic structure of the terrorist organisation. read full story / add a comment

Current Biology reports on a population of monkeys which have been observed to use spears in their hunting of bush babies. It seems the tool use is primarily by female chimpanzees. AP have a report that captures most of the info at the link at the bottom of the page.

Microsoft is often described as "evil" and accused of dirty tactics. Many people assume that these descriptions are inaccurate and that it's "just business" and competition. Perhaps it is, but when you actually read the internal documents that occasionally come to light you realise that they're hell bent on doing whatever they can to squash rivals. One such collection of material came out of the Comes vs. Microsoft case recently. Now, however, that material is disappearing and public internet archives e.g. WaybackMachine/Archive.org have also "cleansed" their records. The moral? If there's something really important then don't rely on private businesses to keep it around for you. Make your own copies, or work with others do do so. read full story / add a comment

the Catholic diocese of Washington D.C. has started an advertising campaign to promote the sacrament of "confession" and "penance". With billboard and other notices using the slogan "the light is on for you" the Church hopes to bring back many of the 580,000 catholics in DC to the little box. Senior church members trying to explain the lack of popularity of the little box point to a general confessional culture - people may go online these days and spill their secrets, transgressions and thus feel better. But that's not enough in their eyes. The Holy Spirit isn't on the net. read full story / add a comment
