Russia denounces Kosovo declaration
By STEVE GUTTERMAN, Associated Press Writer
Is Kosovo's potential independence such a major threat to the New World Order? Apparently Russia thinks so. Russia's Foreign Ministry went as far as to say that nations backing Kosovo's independence were supporting separatism and would shake "the foundations of a world order that has developed over decades." Maybe an independent Kosovo just threatens the Russian version of the New World Order since the US and the EU support it. - Swamp Fox/RP

Britain Rushes Troops To Balkans
Telegraph (UK)
Britain's overstretched Armed Forces are to send as many as 1,000 troops to the Balkans in a move that will see the military's last remaining reserve unit deployed on operations. The imminent departure of the 1st Bn Welsh Guards to Kosovo has been ordered in response to fears that the newly formed independent state could slide into "ethnic cleansing". But last night MPs and former military chiefs described the move as "irresponsible" and "demented", accusing the Ministry of Defence of being "bankrupt".

Machines 'To Match Man By 2029'
BBC
Machines will achieve human-level artificial intelligence by 2029, a leading US inventor has predicted. Humanity is on the brink of advances that will see tiny robots implanted in people's brains to make them more intelligent, said Ray Kurzweil. The engineer believes machines and humans will eventually merge through devices implanted in the body to boost intelligence and health.

DARPA Building Neuromorphic Brain on a Chip (Paging Sarah Connor)
DARPA's brain-on-a-chip project (cleverly titled SyNAPSE, or Systems of Neuromorphic Adaptive Plastic Scalable Electronics) sounds straight out of Cyberdyne's portfolio: They want to "develop a brain inspired electronic 'chip' that mimics that function, size, and power consumption of a biological cortex." That whole neuromorphic adaptive business sounds a whole lot like the T-800's neural net processor, don't it?

Yellowstone Mystery: What Are The Rabbits Telling Us?
The U.S. Wildlife Conservation Society is trying to figure out why jack rabbits have vanished from Yellowstone National Park. The report, published in the journal Oryx, said there have been no confirmed jack rabbit sightings in Yellowstone since 1991 and only three in Grand Teton National Park since 1978. Historical records indicate that white-tailed jack rabbits were once abundant in Greater Yellowstone, a 23,166-square-mile ecosystem that contains the Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks, the group said Thursday in a release. Lead author Joel Berger of the University of Montana said the lack of jack rabbits could be due to disease, extreme weather, predation or other factors.

New York Mystery: What Are Bats Telling Us?
Bats in New York and Vermont are mysteriously dying off by the thousands, often with a white ring of fungus around their noses, and scientists in hazmat suits are crawling into dank caves to find out why. "White nose syndrome," as the killer has been dubbed, is spreading at an alarming rate, with researchers calling it the gravest threat in memory to bats in the U.S. "This is definitely unprecedented," said Lori Pruitt, an endangered-species biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Bloomington, Ind. "The hugest concern at this point is that we do not know what it is."

Ron Paul: Direct Descendent of the Founders

As the nation’s major media outlets crown John McCain (George W. Bush on steroids) as the Republican nominee for president, their nearly criminal neglect of Ron Paul’s candidacy in the 2008 presidential campaign is nearly complete. "Big media" have never deemed Paul a "major candidate," as their paltry coverage of him shows.
