ed 42 long duration grbs those lasting more than two seconds using the hubble space telescope they discovered that the galaxies in which the bursts originated tended to be small faint and misshapen only one burst occurred in a large spiral galaxy similar to the milky way in contrast supernovae also the result of collapsing massive stars were found in milky way sized spiral galaxies roughly half of the time the results indicate grbs form only in very specific environments which tend to be different from those found in the milky way their occurrence in small irregulars implies that only stars that lack heavy chemical elements elements heavier than hydrogen and helium tend to produce long duration grbs said lead author andrew fruchter of the space telescope science institute this means long bursts occurred more often in the past when galaxies did not have a large supply of heavy elements galaxies build up a stockpile of heavier chemical elements through the ongoing evolution of successive generations of stars early generation stars formed before heavier elements were abundant in the universe the astronomers also found the locations of grbs differed from the locations of supernovae which occur much more frequently the grbs were far more concentrated in the brightest regions of their host galaxies where the most massive stars reside supernovae on the other hand seem to occur throughout galaxies the discovery that long duration grbs lie in the brightest regions of their host galaxies suggests that they come from the most massive stars perhaps 20 or more times as massive as our sun said co author andrew levan of the university of hertfordshire in the united kingdom massive stars abundant in heavy elements are unlikely to trigger grbs because they may lose too much material through stellar winds emanating from their surfaces before they collapse and explode when this happens the stars retain too little mass to produce a black hole a necessary condition to trigger a grb i d much prefer for there not to be any anomalous wolf rayet stars or neutron stars on collision course hidden in the centre of our galaxy there aren t any of course right written by randy mcdonald august 31 2006 at 12 25 pm posted in assorted tagged with space science poll will belgium last from united press international hyperlinks within added by me the political leader of flanders says belgium is an accident of history and only its king soccer and beer have any value the telegraph reported that yves leterme started a brouhaha when he made the comments about a nation that is increasingly divided between flanders the dutch speaking north and the french speaking walloon south with brussels as a bilingual international city in the middle the telegraph said leterme sniped that years of devolution had eroded the kingdom to the point where belgium now amounted to nothing more than the king the national football team and certain brands of beer he added that the 175 year old belgian nation was an accident of history with no intrinsic value the country was created in 1830 when southern provinces broke away from the united kingdom of the netherlands strictly speaking leterne is of course correct the belgian state can trace its ancestry back centuries at least as far back as to the hapsburg netherlands and before that to the lands of the burgundians even if you want back to the celtic belgae that said belgium is very much a product of contingent circumstances even as late as the 1830 belgian revolution things could have gone differently the france of louis philippe might have managed to partition the netherlands southern provinces with prussia and the rump netherlandic state or the belgians might have been able to take zeeuws vlaanderen and the modern grand duchy of luxembourg from the dutch state or the dutch might have managed to reconquer their southern provinces the ten province three language three region belgian state that exists now is very much a product of generations of constant effort it may all come to naught the major problem facing the belgian state is the confrontation between the self governing regions of flanders and wallonia the gallicization of brussels and the growth of francophone communities in brussels periphery is an issue of note as is the dependence of the post industrial economy of wallonia on massive transfers from flanders as is the growth of flemish nationalism little unites belgium s peoples and much divides them flanders and québec are roughly of a size but the flemish most unlike the québécois in canada form a majority of belgium s population if frustrated they opted for independence the viability of a rump wallobrux state consisting of wallonia and brussels is eminently open to doubt the rattachistes favouring the annexation of francophone belgium would be happy i ve heard little said of the likely french attitude towards the annexation of economically troubled areas with a total population france doesn t need an east germany not in its present state might it want one different story i m agnostic on the question my readers now likely are not at least three are living in belgium right now i ll throw the floor open to all of you a poll written by randy mcdonald august 30 2006 at 6 57 pm posted in assorted tagged with belgium brussels flanders national identity wallonia brief note who do you talk with last week canadian conservative parliamentarian jason kenney attacked opposition mps who visited lebanon and suggested that negotiations should be opened by hezbollah after comparing hezbollah to the nazi party kenney denounced their bias their idea of a balanced approach is one where israel is always wrong kenney said at the press conference this represents a totally irresponsible approach to foreign security policy more recently it has come out that kenney delivered a speech at a rally organized by the mujaheedin e khalq conservative mp jason kenney is coming under scrutiny for his appearance at a rally organized by supporters of a banned terrorist organization this comes two days after kenney parliamentary secretary to the prime minister condemned fellow parliamentarians for their comments about another terror group a photograph of kenney at an april rally organized by the committee in defense of human rights in iran appears on the website of the national council of resistance of iran the toronto star reported thursday the council is the political wing of the people s mojahedin organization of iran pmoi which is one of the names used by the mujaheedin e khalq the mujaheedin e khalq is an armed iranian rebel group formally designated as a terror group by the governments of canada the united states and the european union after being expelled from iran by the young islamic republic the mujaheedin e khalq went on to ally itself with the iraq of saddam hussein staging attacks on iran in conjunction with iraqi forces and then after it was easily fought off establishing training camps in iraq that did double duty as prison camps for dissidents within the movement many american neoconservatives wanted to cultivate the mujaheedin e khalq as an alternative government for iran proving the truth that you shall know them by their works the best thing that can be said about a mujaheedin e khalq government in iran at least after reading the relevant reports from human rights watch and other organizations is that it would collapse quickly long before it could ensure that everyone received their special kool aid rations what s the difference between the two movements the mujaheedin e khalq is a terrorist group with a vile ideology with no influence on the ground hezbollah is a terrorist group with a vile ideology with plenty of influence on the ground talking to the mujaheedin e khalq yields nothing since the mujaheedin e khalq can provide nothing talking to hezbollah however unpleasant a task can yield quite a bit if north korea is a plausible diplomatic actor after all but then ideology always obstructs vision doesn t it written by randy mcdonald august 30 2006 at 6 00 pm posted in assorted tagged with clash of ideologies iran middle east review paul monette borrowed time paul monette s 1988 borrowed time a memoir of the last years that he spent with his partner roger horwitz before the latter s death from aids is typically cited as one of the most important works in early hiv aids literature certainly it s a well written book and certainly it s a sad book but for the longest time it confused me as to why this is the only book from that literature from that time that makes me cry then i remembered margo lanagan and her masterly singing my sister down and realized that monette manages to capture the terrible pain of a prolonged departure so masterly reading borrowed time one follows monette as he gets used to having less and less of horwitz as his aids progressed eventually retreating attenuated to the margins of consciousness still even at the end when horwitz was about to pass there was still so much of him there that the moment of final separation is unbearable written by randy

and all that you need to know about it is that she never should have covered you spin me round like a record it s just one of those things written by randy mcdonald august 30 2006 at 2 39 pm posted in assorted tagged with popular culture popular music brief note it s a new age sunday evening as i mentioned in my previous post i hung out with heraclitus for the first time in six months fun was most certainly had talking about a whole variety of topics most of these topics seemed to relate in one way or another to the ways in which communities manage to constitute themselves in both the ancient and modern worlds greek age related homosexuality for instance overall our conclusions were pessimistic it wasn t coincidental that that very day henry giroux s article in the sunday star the politics of disposability was published talking about the biopower in the modern united states with its pathological disdain for social values and public life and its celebration of an unbridled individualism and acquisitiveness the bush administration does more than undermine the nature of social obligation and civic responsibility it also sends a message to unwanted populations society neither wants cares about or needs you katrina revealed with startling and disturbing clarity who these unwanted are african americans who occupy the poorest sections of new orleans those ghettoized frontier zones created by racism coupled with economic inequality cut out of any long term goals and a decent vision of the future these are the populations as bauman points out who have been rendered redundant and disposable in the age of neoliberal global capitalism katrina reveals that we are living in dark times one of its most obvious lessons that race and racism still matter in america is fully operational through a biopolitics not unlike the kind described by scholar achille mbembe as necropolitics in which sovereignty resides in the power and capacity to dictate who may live and who may die those poor minorities of colour and class unable to contribute to the prevailing consumerist ethic are vanishing into the sinkhole of poverty in desolate and abandoned enclaves of decaying cities and rural spaces or in america s ever expanding prison empire not that the united states is that distinct not in the context of growing hysterical anti immigrant sentiment in europe say or in the ability of estonians to tolerate hiv so long as it s concentrated among russophones or in the disposability of the chinese peasantry or in the many many other ways in which people nowadays are willing to overlook wrongs done to others so long as these others are inconvenient if they disappear well who ll notice i can only hope that canada won t succumb hope mind not believe with any degree of
