Of course the obvious is revealed. Not only a chemistry PhD but a biochemistry PhD. Biochemistry is understanding how the human body's carbon interacts with chemicals and biologicals to cause death.

The ever increasing civil war that has been evident now in Palestine continues. The issues of these people have nothing to do with Iraq. This is a struggle now between the PA and Hamas. Hamas see a Palestine that will destroy Israel returning all the area to their control. They have won many local elections and serve as a destablilzing element within the new Palestinian nation.

ROVE NEEDS TO RESIGN'
CIA agent's spouse says Bush aide must go
15.07.05 1.00pm
WASHINGTON - The husband of a CIA agent whose identity was exposed during the fierce debate over the Iraq war accused the White House on Thursday of being involved in a giant "cover-up" involving top aide Karl Rove.
Federal investigators are looking into who leaked the identity of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame, whose name appeared in a newspaper column exactly two years ago, on July 14, 2003. Rove, who orchestrated Bush's presidential campaigns, has emerged as a source for at least one other media report on the case.

I WISH NASA well in attempting to fix and control a finicky space ship. I believe the shuttle program needs to take a back seat to real space missions that are less troublesome and accomplish more. NASA today could bring the Apollo spacecraft out of moth balls and fly astronauts without a second thought into space on a regualr basis while they mull over an orbiter if they see that as important. I don't. I think the day of The Shuttle is over and gratefully so. Two separate vehicles, one for the astronauts that are loved dearly by this society and one for cargo that can transport far more on a regular basis than The Shuttle ever could. I really recommend NASA 'GET BACK IN THE GAME' and start up an updated and computerized model of Apollo ASAP.
NASA Studies Fuel Gauge for Malfunction

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Hoping to make another launch attempt Sunday, hundreds of NASA engineers scrambled to figure out why a fuel gauge on space shuttle Discovery failed just before its scheduled liftoff.
Deputy shuttle program manager Wayne Hale said any repairs would have to be fast and simple, though, to have Discovery ready by Sunday. Most likely, NASA's first mission since the 2003 Columbia disaster will require more complicated repairs and be delayed into next week or even September, depending on the extent of work needed.

The USA Supreme Court. Judge Rhenquist is staying to fulfill his duties and I congratualte him.
It's not unusual at all for recovering cancer patients to have a set back and run high fevers as their body tackles the cancer. If his job, and what a job it is, keeps him going then he needs to remain vital. I find the political theater over all this reprehensible and I am confident it stresses Chief Justice Rhenquist. Stress causes immune suppression and it could have been the reason the Chief Justice ran a fever as well. He needs to tune out the rude and crude press knowing he has our loyalty to do his job well. Live long and prosper Justice Rhenquist.
It should do Justice O'Connor proud to know her leaving is finding resistance by lady Senators who would dearly love to see a female Chief Justice. Justice O'Connor should reconsider for the right reasons as she is a valuable opinion no one wants to see retire.

The Hurricane Season to Date
It's very obvious this season is taking on a more traditional season how that "Dennis" has done most of the handiwork of transferring heat to the oceans. Which is not a good idea to the extent it is happening there have already been diminished algal blooms in the oceans during the last six months noted on most currents.
This satellite:

shows clearly the carbon dioxide concentration on the east coast of the USA.
You might want to see it in motion:
http://weather.unisys.com/satellite/sat_ir_enh_hem_loop-12.html
Noted a storm over the midwest of the USA resulted as an eddy to a arctic circle vortex.
Also in hurricane ally "Emily" is coming our way with now Cat 4 capasity. I am convinced more than ever it will take the path of Ivan 2004 due to the obvious air mass noted in this satellite.
http://weather.unisys.com/satellite/sat_wv_hem_loop-12.html
The big sweeping water vapor trail from the Gulf to the Arctic Circle tells the tale of "Emily". I remind 24 hours ago I stated it would take the path of Ivan 2004 and all the weather services were stating it was headed for the Yukitan Peninsula to cross land there and enter the Gulf south of Texas. Not so. These systems are water loving and seek the path of least resistance to their ever growing dynamics. Kindly note in the composite an earlier hurricane below, Hurricane Andrew of 1992 it's path changed radically to follow a north leading air flow noted in the two left pictures of the composite.
Also noted in both the Infrared Satellite and Water Vapor Satellite there is also two other storms brewing. One at a higher latitude bearing the mark of "Andrew of 1992" and the other looking more like "Emily" only starting at a greater distance from the Gulf of Mexico and could this be our first viewing of Cat 6 storms. Only guestimates at this point.
http://weather.unisys.com/satellite/sat_wv_hem.html
This water vapor satellite shows that potential clearly.
In the Pacific, coastal Asia is having it's problems as well with "Typhoon Haitang" and once again China needs to get on board the G8 Climate Change agenda.

Currently they have seen five major storm and one super typhoon. This is an active season as well.
NOT FUN !!

The London Bombings
The fifth terrorist in Cairo is being detained for questioning. The agencies in Britain have discovered an International Terrorist Network and we only can guess where this is leading. The bathtub of high explosives opens up the possiblity of tracking down a good many more than just five terrorists especailly if the type of explosives came from the unguarded stores in the Iraqi desert.
Regardless, Euope is taking on global security unlike ever before and the terrorist element will be dealt with this time. It's about time Europe took the lead and the initiative to really solve these crimes. I feel better with them taking the lead here as When it comes to fighting the War on Terror(ists) the USA has settled on creating havoc in Iraq to protect it's crony interests and only when issues exacerbate with the troops do we see any movement to end this hideous element in our global society.
Australia's Howard is more motivated than Bush and I congratulate him and wish sincerely he would take leadership in Afghanistan to end the entire mess there. He would find the Afghanistan people are more interested in their government stability than anyone else and to that end they are a sincere ally to the cause. Cautiously they can be trusted but time and time again since the earliest of invasion following the attacks on the USA in 2001 the Afghan People have demonstrated extreme willingness to take back their country with only a loyalty to that end. The Afghan military have very adept men who are better suited for the harsh environment in the mountains and are a great asset to any military who stands at their side.
I believe there is a profound Taliban strong hold in the mountains between Pakistan and Afghanistan to say the least and even Presidents Karzai and Musharraf cannot deny that although they both are outspoken about Osama bin Laden being gone from the area.
That last time 'bin' appeared on the net was during the 2004 elections and he was so comfortable and appearing well healed and well dressed, if not in Afghanistan than perhaps at a Bush/Rove country estate. The international community needs to get serious about his whereabouts as I strongly feel the entire terrorist network structure will quickly disintegrate with his demise.
The Bush Administration is currently embattled domestically as their 'ego driven' decision makers are starting to show their true colors.
