Clinton Adviser Out After Obama Comment
CONCORD, N.H. -- A top campaign adviser to Hillary Rodham Clinton resigned, a day after suggesting Democrats should be wary of nominating Barack Obama because his teenage drug use could make it hard for him to win the presidency. Clinton herself apologized to Obama as they waited to fly to Iowa for a debate. .
Nanoforum Summer School - Molecular Self-Assembly
Biomimetics and molecular self-assembly are rightly attracting interest from many industries, with applications in electronics, energy, material sciences and medicine to name but a few. Learning from nature we can improve biocompatability, produce more complex electronic circuits, engineer material surfaces to have many different properties, efficiently harvest energy from natural light and provide locomotion and motility to nanoscale objects and mechanisms. This five-day school is essential for any post-graduate or post-doctoral researcher who wants to learn about cutting edge developments and techniques in molecular self-assembly and biomimetics. The school has been designed to have a blend of seminars and practical classes (which will be held in the laboratories of the Nanoscience Centre) with ample opportunity for participants to discuss and learn from world-class scientists.
J.A. Miller: 90th Anniversary of the Balfour Declaration
It becomes, therefore, specially important to foster and develop any strongly-marked Jewish movement which leads directly away from these fatal [socialist] associations. And it is here that Zionism has such a deep significance for the whole world at the present time....The struggle which is now beginning between the Zionist and Bolshevik Jews is little less than a struggle for the soul of the Jewish people. -Winston Churchill, 1920 They own the [Holy] land, just the mere land, and that's all they do own; but it was our folks, our Jews and Christians, that made it holy, and so they haven't any business to be there defiling it. It's a shame and we ought not to stand it a minute. We ought to march against them and take it away from them. - Mark Twain, Tom Sawyer Abroad, 1894 The Dual Purpose Declaration Some time ago I attended a workshop on the Palestine conflict held in a nearby Protestant church. You might know the sort of church; a liberal American congregation with a majority of aging, white parishioners who gamely troop off to construct community centers in Central America or cluster bedraggled and clutching flickering candles in ever-diminishing numbers at anti-war vigils.
