- The use of national and religious symbols like the Temple Mount and the demographic threat of the right of return is no accident. Hot slogans about sticking to the rock of our existence, are more pleasing to the ear than an admission that, as you read this, dozens of illegal outposts are going through hastily arranged purification proceedings in Shaul Mofaz's mikveh. The issue of sovereignty over the Holy of Holies has even penetrated Yosef Lapid's secular skin. The burning debate - whether the Geneva Accord leaves an opening to the claim of a right to return - enables the Shinui platoon to distract its voters' attention from the legitimization it is giving to radical religious nationalism. --Akiva Eldar in Ha'aretz on the Geneva Accord. |

- Footballs Greatest Injuries Watched bits of the Spurs vs. Leicster game yesterday, and had quite possibly one of the worst looking injuries in football, with Freddy Kanoute being injured. All I can say is EEWWW! Not as bad as some I've seen (David Buust, Luc Nilis, Phil Babb or Henrik Larsonn - although that last one I only saw on a Rangers fan wall), but still nasty. Ooh me goldenballs. |

- On t'Razz Thursday Night I went to, what is commonly called in Liverpool, The Razz. Arguably the most Student place in the entire of Liverpool. I can see why, it's more dirty than Christina Aguilera Mudwrestling. Seriously, if it wasn't so cheap, I'd complain that the carpet made squelching noises, the toilet surrounded with Smirnoff Ice bottles with Smirnoff Ice/Urea Filtrate in them (for people who shoot wide of the mark), and that half of the club is outside. However, it's cheaper than a Technical Knockout, so I wasn't complaining. |

- The New York Times has picked up explicitly on the point made yesterday in this blog. In reference to the Democratic Party actions on Bush's $87bn request:One of their leading demands, converting some of the money into loans, picked up enough Republican support to prevail in the Senate. Unfortunately, it's a terrible idea. Turning aid into a loan dumps more debt on a country that is already sinking in it. |

- Roland Piquepaille writes "No, we are not April 1st. And no, this is not science fiction. The very serious Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering revealed last week that scientists have discovered a new source of electricity: "generating electric power by harnessing the natural electrokinetic properties of a liquid such as ordinary tap water when it is pumped through tiny microchannels." "This technology could provide a new power source for devices such as mobile phones or calculators which could be charged up by pumping water to high pressure," said Professor Kostiuk, from the University of Alberta, where the technique was developed. |
