- Nico Pitney writes: I passionately supported the Greens in 2000 and 2002. I traveled 125 miles to see Dennis Kucinich speak when he came to Los Angeles in May, and had the pleasure of introducing him to a crowd of several hundred when he visited Santa Barbara recently. Kucinich is a guiding light in Congress and, of the nine Democratic presidential contenders, his views most closely mirror my own. Yet I won't be voting for Kucinich in the Democratic primaries, nor will I vote Green in the general elections. |

- Joël de Rosnay writes: Our education remains hopelessly analytical, centered on a few disciplines, like a puzzle whose pieces overlap rather than fit together. It is an education that prepares us neither for the global approach to complex problems nor for the interplay between them. Nevertheless the present generation of eighteen- to twenty-five-year-olds itself poses problems globally. It seems that through a thousand parallel channels, passing from the traditional media to those of the counterculture by a sort of osmosis with nature and society, the young people have learned to discover for themselves a form of the systemic approach. |

- Financial Times -- China's orders for new power equipment so far this year have outstripped its purchases for the whole of 2002 by 50 per cent, as a restructured local industry attempts to keep pace with surging demand for electricity from industry and households. The purchases of power equipment in the seven months to July will add 30 gigawatts of new capacity to the national grid, equal to nearly 10 per cent of existing capacity, according to a survey of orders conducted for foreign energy executives. ... "The bottom line is they need to generate more power, so they are ordering equipment," said Joseph Jacobelli, an analyst with Merrill Lynch in Hong Kong. The survey for the foreign executives covers purchases only for thermal plants, which are mainly coal-fired, and does not include new capacity for hydro-electric or nuclear power. |

- Yahoo! News -- Scorching temperatures threaten to cut output at Europe's nuclear power stations as homes and businesses crank up air conditioners in search of relief from a second week of searing heat. In France, where temperatures have hit about 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) in the past few days, the government on Monday warned there could be blackouts if electricity production continued to be stretched. At emergency talks to try to stave off cuts, it agreed to allow the country's nuclear power plants to pour cooling water back into rivers at a hotter temperature than usual to help them meet surging demand. State power utility Electricite de France had been forced to lower production at some of the nuclear plants due to the environmental rules. |

- BBC Science -- The complete genome of a bacterium that kills hundreds of thousands worldwide each year has been published by researchers. The genome of Bordetella pertussis - the complete sequence of all the DNA in the organism - is likely to speed up the search for better vaccines and treatments. The bacterium causes the infectious disease whooping cough. Scientists in Cambridge, UK, in collaboration with academics in the US and Germany, have taken years to decipher the DNA and describe the 3,800 genes written in the biological "code". They also deciphered two other related microbes, B. |

Snip, Snip (Aug 12 2003 22:55 GMT) - So, how much do you think a penis is worth? A Texas man is suing after he went into surgery for his bladder and left with his penis amputated. Three years ago 67-year-old Hurshell Ralls went into surgery for bladder cancer. Apparently after only a visual inspection, doctors thought Ralls cancer had spread. But the doctors were wrong. |
