- Sad sight ... thousands of rusting Rovers on airfield - THOUSANDS of new MG Rover cars stand rusting at two disused airfields — a sad memorial to the fallen motor giant. Some of the vehicles — worth £100million — have been stockpiled for months, depriving the firm of much-needed cash. |

- GM industry puts human gene into rice - Scientists have begun putting genes from human beings into food crops in a dramatic extension of genetic modification. The move, which is causing disgust and revulsion among critics, is bound to strengthen accusations that GM technology is creating "Frankenstein foods" and drive the controversy surrounding it to new heights. |

- President Bush holds hands with Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah at his ranch in Crawford, Texas. - “Before boarding his flight to Crawford to meet with President Bush Monday, Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Abdullah presided over the arrest of 40 Pakistani Christians on Friday. Their crime? The Pakistanis were caught praying in a private home in the capital Riyadh in violation of the state's strictly enforced religious law that bans all non-Muslim worship.” |

- Terrified US soldiers are still killing civilians with impunity, while the dead go uncounted - An American patrol roared past us with the soldiers gesturing furiously with their guns for traffic to keep back on an overpass in central Baghdad. A black car with three young men in it did not stop in time and a soldier fired several shots from his machine gun into its engine. The driver and his friends were not hit, but many Iraqis do not survive casual encounters with US soldiers. It is very easy to be accidentally killed in Iraq. US soldiers treat everybody as a potential suicide bomber. |

- If you're a girl and you're wearin' a dress, whip 'em off. That's it! - Frank Zappa commissioned the making of the above pictured quilt. This quilt, made entirely of womens undergarments, is complete with drawings, messages, stains and no doubt, wonderous aromas. I was fortunate enough to attend a show at the Berkeley Community Theater on the tour that yielded some of the component parts of this quilt. |

- Codewolf WebCam - once in a great while I run this for the hell of it. Here's a shot of my front yard, it needs mowing and is in serious dispair after the winter. It'll be dark soon, so I may just put it on the TV channel I'm watching later. |

- The Bush Administration punishes some Democrat backers - The Inter-American Telecommunication Commission meets three times a year in various cities across the Americas to discuss such dry but important issues as telecommunications standards and spectrum regulations. But for this week's meeting in Guatemala City, politics has barged onto the agenda. At least four of the two dozen or so U.S. delegates selected for the meeting, sources tell TIME, have been bumped by the White House because they supported John Kerry's 2004 campaign. |

- Rally to Stop the Judicial Takeover - Any day now, radical Republicans are hoping to seize absolute power to appoint Supreme Court justices who favor right-wing, corporate interests over the rest of us. To do it, Vice President Cheney and Senate Republican leader Bill Frist are threatening to use what they call the "nuclear option"—a parliamentary maneuver to overturn the 200-year-old tradition that all judges have broad support in Congress. MoveOn PAC and our partners in the Coalition for a Fair and Independent Judiciary are organizing a massive national wave of protest to stop them, culminating with emergency rallies across the country on Wednesday, April 27, at 5 PM (or earlier in a few cities). I think I'll show up and take some pictures. |

- Jeff Carlson (~690 words)Looking at the Mac mini's technical specifications alone, the computer sits firmly in the middle of Apple's computer offerings - it's essentially an eMac without the monitor, keyboard, or mouse. What's notable about the mini is its physical size, a diminutive rectangle only slightly larger than most external hard drives. [Via TidBITS] |

- I awaken in the middle of the night needing to relieve myself, and as I get up I crack my head on the anchor locker. I have once again forgotten that it lies only centimetres from my face, once more bloodied my scalp because I can't make myself sleep with my head towards the stern.Once that trauma of awakening is over, I have to untangle myself from my sleeping bag -- for I have rediscovered my allergic inability to breathe when near a blanket -- and stumble through the narrow walkway to the cockpit. Throughout this walkway are scattered things which have as yet not found a "home", and if I turn on the light then people will be able to see me -- and I can't use the portapotty because I didn't clear it away from all of the tools and gear piled upon it from the day before. So I carefully climb over stacks of magazines, the battery charger, food processor, and stray tool. |

- Earlier this month, I posted how Yahoo has the wind against its back with the market trend towards rich-media advertising, and predicted that ?Google [will] make some moves to play catch up in this race.? Yesterday Google confirmed that forecast, taking a significant step forward. ClickZ reported that Google now ?will let advertisers choose on which sites their contextually targeted ads appear, but they will have to pay for those ads on a CPM basis? |
