Re: McDonald's Start's Organic Bid
Embattled fast-food chain McDonald's is to start sellingorganic produce in its restaurants from next month in adesperate attempt to curry public favour. The company willreplace all cartons of non-organic milk with organic milk,but it will continue to use non-organic milk in milkshakesand sundaes.Every great journy begins with the first step. Keep encouraging them and they may complete the journey.The global outfit, famous for its processed food, says thechange is in response to customer demand. It claims it wasunable to offer organic milk before because it could notguarantee adequate supplies.The news comes as the fast-food giant warns it will make aquarterly loss for the first time in its 47-year history forthe period ending December 31, 2002. It is in the process ofclosing restaurants around the world, including at least sixsites in London.In August last year, its Swedish restaurants began sellingorganic milk and organic ice cream. Sweden's McDonald's alsosaid it was considering organic coffee, but had ruled outselling organic burgers.In the UK, McDonald's has been selling free-range eggs forthe past two years in its breakfast products.In June, the company announced a three-year #300,000sponsorship of the Food Animal Initiative (FAI), a researchproject launched by Oxford University to find a mid-waypoint between organic farming and modern farming methods.McDonald's says it is considering selling other organicproducts, such as ice cream, in the future, but adds thatits strategy will be influenced by developments at the FAI.--END COPY--

FW: [globalnews] Human Actions Blamed for Worst AustralianDrought in History
Title: FW: [globalnews] Human Actions Blamed for Worst Australian Drought in History Environmental News Service Human Actions Blamed for Worst Australian Drought SYDNEY, Australia, January 15, 2003 (ENS) - Human-induced global warming was a key factor in the severity of the 2002 drought in Australia, the worst in the country's history, according to a report issued Tuesday by WWF Australia. The report is part of an effort by Australian environmental organizations to convince the Liberal Government of John Howard to reverse its policy and sign the Kyoto climate protocol. Higher temperatures and drier conditions have created greater bushfire danger than previous droughts, the report warns. Drought severity has increased in the Murray Darling Basin, where 40 percent of Australia's agricultural produce is grown. It has cost some A$8.1 billion in lost farm production, and taxpayer funded drought assistance to farmers could exceed A$500 million. drought Dry rangeland in Western Australia (Photo courtesy National Land and Resources Audit) The report, Global Warming Contributes to Australia's Worst Drought, compares the 2002 drought with the four other major droughts in the country since 1950 and has found higher temperatures caused a marked increase in evaporation rates from soil, watercourses and vegetation. The higher temperatures experienced throughout Australia last year are part of a national warming trend over the past 50 years which cannot be explained by natural climate variability alone, said Professor David Karoly, formerly professor of Meteorology at Monash University. Karoly coauthored the report with Dr. James Risbey from Monash University's School of Mathematical Sciences, and Anna Reynolds, WWF Australia's Climate Change Campaign manager. In 2002 Australia recorded its highest ever average March-November daytime maximum temperature. The temperature across the country was 1.6C higher than the long term average and 0.8C higher than the previous record. The Murray Darling Basin experienced average maximum temperatures more than 1.2C higher than in any previous drought since 1950. Most of this warming is likely due to the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere from human acitivity such as burning fossil fuels for electricity and transport and from landclearing, said Karoly. The actual trend in Australian temperature since 1950 now matches the climate model studies of how temperatures respond to increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Karoly believes this is the first drought in Australia where the impact of human-induced global warming can be clearly observed. Dr. Risbey said that although the 2002 drought was related to natural climate variations associated with El Nio, last year's higher temperatures could not be attributed solely to this factor. While higher temperatures are expected during El Nio triggered droughts, Risbey said, the 2002 drought temperatures are extraordinary when compared to the four major droughts since 1950, with average maximum temperatures more than 1C higher than these other droughts. Reynolds says global warming is affecting the livelihoods of rural Australians. The report contains new data on evaporation rates, and says low rainfall and higher evaporation has adversely impacted agricultural productivity with lower crop production leading to lower export earnings for farmers. dust Sheep surrounded by a cloud of dust in Australia's 1982 drought. (Photo courtesy Australian Bureau of Meteorology) WWF is urging Prime Minister Howard to sign the Kyoto climate protocol to prevent more economic and environmental devastation. Australia would be permitted to limit its greenhouse gas emissions to an eight percent increase in the 2008 to 2012 period. The Howard government has chosen to follow the United States away from the protocol and towards technological and market based ways to dealing with global warming. We can slow global warming, keep temperature increases to the lower end of the scale and reduce the severity of future droughts, said Reynolds. The Kyoto Protocol is the first international agreement with targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and slowing global warming - it is in our national interest to ratify the treaty, she said. The nation's largest conservation group agrees. The Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) issued a statement today urging the Howard government to reconsider its Kyoto Protocol policy. Australia and the United States are now the only developed countries refusing to join Kyoto - and both countries are big contributors to climate change, with huge greenhouse pollution problems, the ACF said. If the Howard Government is serious about addressing climate change and protecting Australia's natural resources, agricultural industries and economy, it would ratify the Kyoto Protocol immediately, said the ACF. With water already such a problem, Australia can't afford to ignore climate change. river In the

FW: [globalnews] Jesus 'healed using cannabis'
Title: FW: [globalnews] Jesus 'healed using cannabis' Jesus 'healed using cannabis' Duncan Campbell in Los Angeles Monday January 6, 2003 The UK Guardian Jesus was almost certainly a cannabis user and an early proponent of the medicinal properties of the drug, according to a study of scriptural texts published this month. The study suggests that Jesus and his disciples used the drug to carry out miraculous healings. The anointing oil used by Jesus and his disciples contained an ingredient called kaneh-bosem which has since been identified as cannabis extract, according to an article by Chris Bennett in the drugs magazine, High Times, entitled Was Jesus a Stoner? The incense used by Jesus in ceremonies also contained a cannabis extract, suggests Mr Bennett, who quotes scholars to back his claims. There can be little doubt about a role for cannabis in Judaic religion, Carl Ruck, professor of classical mythology at Boston University said. Referring to the existence of cannabis in anointing oils used in ceremonies, he added: Obviously the easy availability and long-established tradition of cannabis in early Judaism... would inevitably have included it in the [Christian] mixtures. Mr Bennett suggests those anointed with the oils used by Jesus were literally drenched in this potent mixture... Although most modern people choose to smoke or eat pot, when its active ingredients are transferred into an oil-based carrier, it can also be absorbed through the skin. Quoting the New Testament, Mr Bennett argues that Jesus anointed his disciples with the oil and encouraged them to do the same with other followers. This could have been responsible for healing eye and skin diseases referred to in the Gospels. If cannabis was one of the main ingredients of the ancient anointing oil... and receiving this oil is what made Jesus the Christ and his followers Christians, then persecuting those who use cannabis could be considered anti-Christ, Mr Bennett concludes. .. HIGH TIMES BACK TO THE GARDEN The religious revelations in this book will leave you saying Holy Shit. by Preston Peet Authors Chris Bennett and Neil McQueen have created an exhaustive study of both the Old and New Testaments in their book, Sex, Drugs, Violence and the Bible (Forbidden Fruit Publishing). The book will disturb most devout followers of the Jewish and Christian faiths as portrayed in the modern Bible. Starting with the Old Testament tale of the Garden of Eden, asserting that the Tree of Life was cannabis sativa and that the Cain and Abel story may in fact have been a contrived piece of propaganda against certain sacrificial rites of Near Eastern fertility cults, the authors move merrily along, documenting various respected religious figures who partake in the smoke of cannabis-laden incense and other psychedelic substances, and who fornicate and commit slaughter before, during and after communing with their God. The authors then dissect the New Testament, giving evidence that not only Jesus may have been married and/or gay, but to attain his Messiah-hood, he was anointed by John the Baptist with an oil that contained large amounts of cannabis. Most alarmingly to the devout, Jesus and his disciples may have pulled off an elaborate hoax utilizing drugs to feign death in the crucifixion and resurrection incident. The authors rely not only on the tracts the modern Bible contains, but also on many early Jewish and Christian texts, like those of the Gnostics that were excluded as heretical by early Church fathers. Bennett and McQueen assert that religion, as portrayed in the Bible today, is basically a tool used in a conspiracy to further isolate humanity from the natural world. The Highway to Hell is indeed paved, they write. The rediscovery of the entheogens [plant hallucinogens] may offer us a means of reacquaintance with the natural order, and a way to return back to the garden. For if there is one thing that can break through the pavement encasing our earthly paradise, it's a weed. ..

Exodus 30:23 It is this term qhaneh bosm, or fragrant cane, that is the most remarkable of mistranslations found within the Bible. When it was rendered into Greek it became calamus, a common marsh plant that had no place in the sacred anointing oil of Yahweh. But so it has come down to us. In fact the Hebrew term is qhaneh bosm, or kaneh bosm. According to Rabbi Herschels Hebrew-English dictionary,

Conventional Science closes in on proving Sheldrake's theorem
From today's Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A63146-2003Jan15.html statement of interest: The more interesting implication of the study, he suggested, is that there is a mechanism that preserves the genetic ability to create wings, without becoming hopelessly corrupted through mutation. There must be something, Naskrecki said. I just can't imagine what that mechanism would be. Walking Sticks, Just Winging It Insects' 'Re-Evolution' Challenges 'Use It or Lose It' Assumption of Evolutionary Biology By Guy Gugliotta Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, January 16, 2003; Page A03 A team of biologists says it has found what is quite likely the first-ever documented case of re-evolution, suggesting that nature does indeed offer second chances -- a species can evolve a new characteristic, lose it and then regain it. That's a radical idea, because for most of modern times, scientists have taught that evolution, at least in part, functions on the principle of use it or lose it. This is one reason seals no longer have paws, moles see badly and humans lack heavy fur. The team is challenging that assumption based on its analysis of DNA from 37 species of the insect order Phasmatodea -- commonly known as walking sticks -- which showed that they evolved from winged to wingless and back again. In fact, walking sticks made the shift four times. The discovery calls into question one of the tenets of evolutionary biology: that if a species loses a complex characteristic, the gene or genes that express it will subsequently mutate so much that the function can never be recovered. We were shocked, said team leader Michael F. Whiting, an evolutionary biologist from Brigham Young University. Even though there is no empirical evidence, it has been dogma for two centuries that something like flight requires so many complicated systems that it could only be evolved once, and would be very difficult to reinvent. The study shows that somehow this whole developmental problem can be switched on and switched off, said Pennsylvania State University biologist James Marden. That's cool, and not just cool for insects. That's cool across the board. Although walking sticks exist around the world, including in the Washington area, Whiting said he did most of his research in New Guinea, home to a large selection of the insects. Walking sticks number more than 3,200 species worldwide and come in both winged and wingless varieties. They are big bugs. The smallest is about the size of a person's pinkie, while the largest -- about 18 inches long -- is the longest insect in the world. Walking sticks survive by using natural camouflage that makes them look like sticks, leaves, tree bark, shoots of grass or reeds. Whiting said the 18-inch walking stick hangs from a branch and sways like a dead stick. The walking sticks' closest relative is the web spinner, which sprays webs from its front feet -- like Spiderman. Other near relations include cockroaches, termites, mantises, grasshoppers and earwigs. In its analysis, the team examined three genes from winged and wingless walking sticks. The analysis enabled the team to rank those species from most primitive to least primitive. The DNA from the most primitive species most closely matched that of the web spinners, pointing toward a common ancestor for both insects. The thought was that the insects that did not have wings were probably the most advanced, Whiting said. Insects can lose their wings for several reasons, he explained. For parasites, such as fleas or lice, wings are superfluous and awkward. And cold-weather insects shed their wings to decrease the surface area of their bodies. For walking sticks, the theory held, being wingless meant that the females, at least, could devote greater energy to egg production. Also, while primitive walking sticks would have needed wings to get away from predators, more advanced species would have developed such good disguises that they would no longer need to fly. The first surprise was that all of the most primitive walking sticks, unlike the web spinners next to them in the evolutionary tree, were wingless, Whiting said. Much further along, however, winged species reappeared. Subsequently, winged species disappeared and reappeared three more times. The inference is that the wingless ones evolved from a common ancestor that had wings, Whiting said. The primitive species lost their wings, but 50 [million] to 100 million years later, more advanced species regained their wings. Whiting said walking sticks probably made their first appearance 300 million to 350 million years ago. The findings did not come as a surprise to evolutionary biologist Piotr Naskrecki, of the nonprofit Conservation International. Naskrecki said he had observed similar behavior in other species and found it very difficult to believe that this research is the first documented case of a complex feature being lost and recovered.

Let me know, ok? We'll count lurkers in this poll also. Allan, a couple of points. 1) I'm surprised that you are tying up your own computer. I guess that's setting up Real files. It doesn't tie up to do the streaming does it? If so. then maybe you can find a non-profit server to host? It seems like a lot to ask of you. 2) Thanks for providing this valuable service. I'm really glad the resource is available. And having said that -- I haven't used it myself. I listened to a bit of some tapes but didn't want to take the time to listen to the whole thing. I work at my computer but somehow don't find it conducive to listen to, even for music. And audio lectures are a demanding media, you can't just let it pass by like video or jump forward/backward like text, you have to be involved to actually listen. So even tho I think this is a great resource, I'm not likely to be using it much. When I go into research mode and find a relevant tape, I would want to listen once and take some notes. That would be about it. I would probably not listen again tho I might reference the source material. BTW, I have it in mind to tape some future events, just don't have any ready at the moment. 3) On the lurker thing -- I'm not sure I get it. I don't always post on every subject and there are many times I wish others were as judicial. We get a lot of unneeded shlock on this list, in addition to comments that I highly value. That's freedom of expression, can't have one w/o the other. Overall, this is a great group, what's the problem? David Robison
