Russia is the Tsar of Pirates
2012-01-19 15:30:00 Wireless Waffle has talked extensively about pirate radio in the past, from short-wave music stations, to Brazilian sat-jackers. But it seems that, of all the nations on the planet, the Russians hold the baton for being the biggest pirates of them all.This story begins when reading the latest intruder report from the IARU Region 1 Monitoring System. The report indicated that there had been an intrusion into the 80 metre amateur band between 3.5 and 3.6 MHz by Russian pirate stations running AM. Now historically the Voice of Korea (the North Korean broadcaster) has been transmitting in the 80 metre band (or the 75 metre band as it's called in in North America) on 3560 kHz in AM and the immediate assumption was that these new signals couldn't possibly be Russian pirates, but must be the Voice of Korea and perhaps a few other stations trying to jam it. The IARU report, however, says that the carriers are very unstable and that the modulation is voices in Russian.So the only...

Russia Ups Ante with Caspian Neighbors by Moving Offshore

An equitable division of the Caspian’s offshore resources have bedeviled the region since the December 1991 implosion of the USSR, putting the Soviet Union’s previous cozy arrangements with the Shah’s Iran "into the dustbin of history," to quote Leon Trotsky. Before the collapse of the USSR, the Soviet Union and Iran effectively divided the inland sea amongst themselves, according to the terms of the 1940 Soviet-Iranian treaty, which . . . → Read More: Russia Ups Ante with Caspian Neighbors by Moving Offshore

Brian May: Russia Today interview
2011-10-06 22:31:00 RT caught up with legendary Queen guitarist Brian May, who also happens to be an astrophysicist, after a symposium of astronomers in the Canary Islands to talk about links between music and science, God, the universe and the mystery of death. May says being both a musician and a scientist gives him an interesting observation point to view both. "I love pure science and I love pure music. They are not the same for sure, but certainly throughout the centuries there have been people, who were immersed in both of them, from Leonardo da Vinci to Patrick Moore. Maybe it's an abstraction thing, maybe people who like those things, don't like the clutter of the world we live in. They just like to find the essence of life," he told RT. As a man of art, May has insights into life, which he has to put under question as a man of science, he says. "If you say 'there is no God,' where is evidence there is no God? You can say 'I don't know.' Being an agnostic to me is a scientific point of v...

Ivan Vishnevskiy to Russia... Is Anyone Surprised?
2011-05-18 03:13:00 I have finally seen official press release, in english, that Ivan Vishnevskiy has signed with Atlant of Russia's Kontinental Hockey League (ChicagoSunTimes).To say that this is breaking news would be a joke. I think everyone had a feeling that the Russian native might not be with the Blackhawks for the 2011-2012 season, let alone in the U.S. of A. If anyone paid as much attention to the IceHogs as I did... you would notice that Vish (as he is called) did not play a whole lot toward the end of the season... in the American Hockey League. A lot of that WAS due to injuries, however there was a few healthy scratches in there.This is probably because of the defensive overload...

Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, issued the following statement on the formal inauguration of the U.S.-Russia nuclear cooperation agreement and announced that she will be introducing legislation to reform the Atomic Energy Act to ensure that countries of proliferation concern or those that are assisting the nuclear and missile programs of rogue regimes are not rewarded with nuclear cooperation agreements:?The U.S.-Russia nuclear cooperation agreement that went into effect this week never got a vote in Congress. The Atomic Energy Act must be reformed so that these far-reaching and potentially dangerous agreements are required to receive an up-or-down vote in Congress before going into effect.?Russia did not deserve such a concession from the U.S. given its ongoing support for Iran?s nuclear program.

In fact, depressive symptoms drop in patients on naltrexone2, 3 and we know of one case in which naltrexone might have prevented a suicide.4 Regarding problems at the implant site, an interim analysis of our current study showed that only four of 66 patients with implants had adverse site reactions and none were serious. Regarding efficacy, patients who continue naltrexone show striking reductions in HIV injecting risk and very little opioid use. Similar positive outcomes were recently reported with Vivitrol?an injectable extended-release naltrexone preparation?at the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association. The return of problems after naltrexone is stopped is no different from what happens after leaving against medical...
