 [Apostate Windbag] Imperialists in NGO drag - US State Department lickspittles Reporters Sans Frontieres produce blogger handbook? Humbug!: (the attacks on BBC surrounding Andrew Gilligan), in Canada (the governing Liberal's slashing of the CBC's budget by $400m, around 33 per cent of its funding) or the European Commission's allergy to German public broadcasters' spending money on new forms of diffusion of information such as the internet or via mobile. There is a concerted international attempt by the privatisation fundamentalists to undermine public broadcasting and a growing corporate concentration of the mass media and RSF says nothing about either's effect on press freedom.

 [GREENIE WATCH] THIS MAKES GOOD SENSE FOR MAYORS WHO WANT TO SEND ...: The WEAs counter: “Wind turbines produce a predominantly ‘whooshing’ sound” and “A conversation can be carried out at the base of a modern operating turbine without raising one’s voice.” Furthermore, “Any tall structure presents a risk to birds” it is “estimated that 100 million bird deaths a year can be attributed to domestic cats,” and “There is no evidence that wind farms negatively impact tourism,” “wind turbines cause very little permanent damage, occupying less than 2% of the land area within a given wind farm boundary. They can be dismantled after 20-25 years and the land returned to virtually its former state,” and finally, “There is no evidence that wind farms negatively impact tourism.”

 [transdada] "Anti-gay" reggae stars dropped from awards Ben T...: Many have reacted with surprise that millions of Ohio voters who have been so impoverished by the Bush Presidency would vote to elect Bush based on "moral values," having been led to the polls by the most extreme anti-gay initiative in American history.  Ohio's Issue 1, on the same ballot as the Presidential race, passed last Tuesday.  The new law not only reiterates current Ohio law that gay people cannot marry each other:  it goes farther to deny Ohioans the right to have private contracts with each other, if such contracts provide gay couples health care or other job benefits.  Gay couples will no longer be allowed to will each other property, visit each other in hospitals, provide for their children, or have any other legal rights or contracts that would "approximate the design, qualities, significance or effect of marriage."  

 [Film.guardian.co.uk] Guardian Unlimited Film | Features | My kingdom for a Bond: In the light of current events, the beginning of Ian Fleming's novel Thunderball seems strangely prescient: 'It was one of those days when it seemed to James Bond that all life was nothing but a heap of six to four against.' The race to become the next James Bond has been the favourite topic of conversation inside film circles for months, but, although Pierce Brosnan retired last year, it seems we are no closer to finding a successor.

[Getvegan.com] Vegan Blog: The (Eco) Logical Weblog [ Ecology, Environmentalism ...: In this report, a curve was then applied to normalize investment such that one single region did not dominate, allowing the Bank to spread investment globally based on "need," population, and the Bank's own global charter, as well as whether or not the investment stood a good chance of seeing real improvement as the result. The most important finding hidden in the report as far as I can see is that it is recommended that the World Bank decrease investment in Africa -- with Nigeria and Congo taking real hits -- while that money would instead be funneled into East and South Asia -- with China, Vietnam, Korea and other countries gaining significant capital increases.
