Bangladesh Must Halt Execution of War Crimes Suspect Abdul Qader Mollah

Human Rights Ambassador William Nicholas Gomes asked president of Bangladesh stop the hanging of the leader of the country's largest Islamic party.

(WASHINGTON, DC) - Hanging Mollah on the basis of retroactive legislation and then denying him the right to appeal against this sentence is a grave violation of his fundamental rights. Following the international standard of Justice, Abdul Qader Mollah, accused of war crimes, should be granted a right to appeal against the conviction and death sentence.

According to Human Rights Watch, Mr. Mollah's death sentence was handed down based on retroactively amended legislation. This is a violation of international fair trial standards.

Oregon Scientists Offer New Insights on Controlling Nanoparticle Stability

They focused on nanoparticles less than two nanometers in diameter — the smallest studied to date — to better understand structural stability of these tiny particles being engineered for use in electronics, medicine and other materials.

(EUGENE) - University of Oregon chemists studying the structure of ligand-stabilized gold nanoparticles have captured fundamental new insights about their stability.

The information, they say, could help to maintain a desired, integral property in nanoparticles used in electronic devices, where stability is important, or to design them so they readily condense into thin films for such things as inks or catalysts in electronic or solar devices.

Report: Rural Children Exposed to Pesticides Demonstrate Significant DNA Damage

Assessing DNA damage in children environmentally exposed to pesticides through using the comet assay and the micronucleus test

(LONDON) - Subjects exposed to pesticides had significantly higher AChE and PChE activities than controls, although average levels were well below the biological exposure limit. In addition, those exposed to pesticides had significantly higher levels of steady-state FPG sites and SSB levels (p < 0.001), as well as MN levels.

In conclusion, despite the relatively low pesticide exposures in the test group of children, significant biological/developmental effects were detected.

Three Arrested Dec 9 Trying to Deliver an Order of Protection to the 174th Reaper Drone Attack Wing at Hancock Air Base

This afternoon, December 9, 2013, two Yale Divinity School students and a Catholic Worker were arrested as they attempted to deliver an Order of Protection on behalf of Afghan children and their families at the Hancock Air Base main entrance on East Molloy Rd. near Syracuse, NY.

Science Community Finally Concludes that Electricity and Planetary Magnetic Fields Are the Same

With my concept the core energy of the Earth produces a swirling magnetic field around the primary current flow and this swirling magnetic field current spins the Earth along with its flow at a slightly slower speed that conforms to the laws of physics.

(SAN DIEGO) - Now that the scientists in the Nov. 20, 2013 Nova broadcast, At the Edge of Space recognizes the electricity when they stated:

“In fact our planet is surrounded by electric current from the surface to the edge of space”, we should expect them to consider the involvement of electromagnetic energy in many phenomena in and around the Earth.

Deadly Chemical Trichloroethylene Now Making Headlines Left and Right

The most common ways of ingesting TCE is by drinking contaminated groundwater, or frequent use of degreasing products such as brake cleaning sprays.

(MINNEAPOLIS) - I spent much of last summer riding my motorcycle around the United States giving talks about trichloroethylene (TCE) contamination knowing full well that most people have never heard of this deadly chemical compound destroying drinking water viability all over the country.

A trichloroethylene site at a General Mills plant in Minneapolis is making headlines this week. The bigger message is that it is far from the only TCE site of growing concern.
