Here's another article showing loss of freedoms, I mean more on the fight
against terrorism. I like where it says> "While the technology may enhance
detection, it may also increase concerns that Britain is becoming a
surveillance society, with hundreds of thousands of closed-circuit
television cameras already monitoring people countrywide every day."
MAYbe it is a police state??

Britain makes camera that "sees" under clothes Sun Mar 9, 7:21 AM ET

A British company has developed a camera that can detect weapons, drugs or
explosives hidden under people's clothes from up to 25 meters away in what
could be a breakthrough for the security industry.

The T5000 camera, created by a company called ThruVision, uses what it
calls "passive imaging technology" to identify objects by the natural
electromagnetic rays -- known as Terahertz or T-rays -- that they emit.

The high-powered camera can detect hidden objects from up to 80 feet away
and is effective even when people are moving. It does not reveal physical
body details and the screening is harmless, the company says.

One group of Marxist intellectuals resolved their quandary by an
analysis that focused on society's cultural "superstructure" rather
than on the economic substructures as Marx did. The Italian Marxist
Antonio Gramsci and Hungarian Marxist Georg Lukacs contributed the
most to this new cultural Marxism.

Antonio Gramsci worked for the Communist International during 1923-24
in Moscow and Vienna. He was later imprisoned in one of Mussolini's
jails where he wrote his famous "Prison Notebooks." Among Marxists,
Gramsci is noted for his theory of cultural hegemony as the means to
class dominance. In his view, a new "Communist man" had to be created
before any political revolution was possible. This led to a focus on
the efforts of intellectuals in the fields of education and culture.
Gramsci envisioned a long march through the society's institutions,
including the government, the judiciary, the military, the schools and
the media. He also concluded that so long as the workers had a
Christian soul, they would not respond to revolutionary appeals.

The British army regularly attends cultural events and parades in
England to drum up support for the military and recruit potential
soldiers. This weekend the army decided to take part in another march
through the city streets of Manchester with thousands of people
watching. Only this time the parade was part of the annual Gay Pride
festival, and some of the onlookers were dancing men in makeup dressed
in Lycra. There were about a dozen uniformed soldiers participating in
the parade and manning a booth to offer recruitment information. The
Royal Air Force also took part for their second successive year, but
this was the first year that the army has attended. There was no
official representation from the Royal Navy, although several parade
marchers were dressed in sailors

Violent Games: British MP - Games Let You Rape Women

http://kotaku.com/363120/british-mp-+-games-let-you-rape-women

The time-honored tradition of stodgy men arguing over things they know
nothing about continued in England during last Friday's game
censorship debate in the House of Commons, with MP Keith Vaz showing
us how it's done while speaking in defense of Julian Brazier's bill to
add a censorship level above the British Board of Film Classification.
In comparing the interactivity of video games to movies, Vaz unleashed
this little gem: However, someone sitting at a computer playing a
video game, or someone with one of those small devices that young
people have these days, the name of which I forget-- [Interruption.]
PlayStations or PSPs, something of that kind.

"Well, whatever they are called, when people play these things, they
can interact. They can shoot people; they can kill people. As the
honourable Gentleman said, they can rape women."

Good show!

Gasoline prices hit new high, seen jumping more Sun Mar 9, 7:16 PM ET

U.S. average retail gasoline prices have reached a new high of almost
$3.20 per gallon and will likely jump another 20 to 30 cents in the
next month, worsening the pain of consumers struggling to make ends
meet in an economic downturn.

Gasoline prices are rising sharply as refiners, who have kept prices
down in order to compete for sales, become more willing to pass on
their higher costs of crude oil, according to an industry analyst on
Sunday.

Pakistan's two largest political parties — which won last month's
national elections — sealed a power-sharing deal yesterday, raising
doubts about President Musharraf's political future.

The accord between Asif Ali Zardari, the de facto leader of the
Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and widower of the murdered former Prime
Minister Benazir Bhutto, and the Pakistan Muslim League (N) led by
Nawaz Sharif, another former Prime Minister, cleared the way for the
formation of an anti-Musharraf government.

“We feel that the country is on the verge of making history,” said Mr
Zardari. “This was also the desire of Benazir Bhutto and we also
intend to stick to the road to democracy; we are aware of the problems
that the country is facing.”

Panel: Who Should Bear Cost of Tomorrow's Broadband? Chris Kanaracus,
IDG News Service
Thu Mar 6, 5:00 PM ET

As the volume of Internet traffic grows explosively, driven by factors
like rampant demand for online video, a new question is arising: Who
will get the bill for the mega-sized data-pipes of the future?

A panel of industry executives and analysts mulled that question and
related issues during a keynote event today at the Cebit
conference in Hanover, Germany.

"One person's broadband is somebody else's narrowband.... What was
classified as broadband just a few years ago is definitely narrowband
today," said Dan Bieler, an IDC analyst who moderated the discussion.
