ANTIVIRUS PER UMANI
È stato scoperto che l'attenta lettura del dialogo platonico intitolato (nella tradizione) Il Sofista, possa costituire un vero e proprio antivirus per l'essere umano; può fornire quegli strumenti necessari ad individuare, riconoscere dati (apparentemente innocui) destinati a danneggiare uno dei più sofisticati sistemi di calcolo, la mente umana.
Oggi, come in passato, spesso capita che nei periodi di 'democrazia', vi sia un dilagare di quell'atteggiamento che un tempo era definita sofistica, e che attualmente rinnovato e spogliato dal peso del termine rivive in quella illusione che chiunque possa diventare notabile, o addirittura giungere ai massimi vertici del sistema, purché abbia una adeguata istruzione e conosca 'il segreto del successo'; o abbia 'capacità di persuasione'; conosca quella che è ormai la diffusissima 'arte mimetica', utilissima in politica ma spesso anche per la conservazione di un posto di lavoro nei momenti di cambio di forza dirigente, riflesso dell'alternanza politica. In questo tipo di clima, ora come in passato, assistiamo a casi in cui genitori spendono tutto quanto necessario affinché i propri figli possano avere ogni possibilità frequentando corsi, masters, corsi per manager (si consideri l'etimologia di questo termine). Non c'è quindi da meravigliarsi se vi è un proliferare sempre maggiore di maestri, corsi, religioni o tecniche meditative particolari adatte a conseguire questa o quell'altra capacità. Abbiamo cacciatori e cacciati, e più che altro tante scuole di caccia ove i primi cacciati sono quelli che dovranno essere i futuri cacciatori, ovvero i propri allievi.
Nel Sofista di Platone noi dovremmo scorgere non un sapere, una conoscenza, non una filosofia bensì un metodo, quindi non una filosofia ma un come fare filosofia.
Nel Sofista è posta una problematica, che sarà una pietra angolare tra le questioni fondamentali nella storia dell’Umanità, della filosofia, del pensiero in generale, ovvero: come attribuire un predicato ad un soggetto che segua di logica necessità e non per caso.

Climate change refugees look to Australia, New Zealand
With the apparent effects of global warming already being felt among Pacific island nations, Australia and New Zealand are being urged to do more to prepare for climate change refugees.
"In Tuvalu and Kiribas we're already starting to see the effects of king tides and storm surges on the coastline, but in particular, on people's crops," says Damien Lawson, national climate justice coordinator from Friends of the Earth Australia.
"People on the islands are not going to just be affected when the sea rises up and covers their land. They're already affected by sea water encroaching through the ground water and having a big effect on their capacity to grow crops," he says.
Global warming is regarded as one of the major factors causing sea level rise. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change expects seas to rise by between 18 and 59 centimetres by the end of the century.
As a result, inhabitants of low-lying Pacific island nations are among the most vulnerable to the effects of global warming.
A report released in July by Make Poverty History -- a coalition of more than 60 aid, community and faith-based organisations, including Friends of the Earth -- noted that two villages on Kiribati have already been abandoned due to climate change.
Additionally, some 2,000 people on Papua New Guinea's isolated Carteret Islands -- which are disappearing beneath the waves -- are preparing to be evacuated to Bougainville, 86km to the southwest. They are regarded as some of the world's first climate change refugees.
With more pacific islanders expected to be forced to leave their homes over the coming decades as seas rise, calls for Australia and New Zealand to prepare to aid environmental refugees are growing louder.
Prior to the 39th Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) -- held on Aug.19-20 in Niue -- representatives of more than 100 non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the region released an open letter addressed to the prime ministers of Australia and New Zealand, Kevin Rudd and Helen Clark.
"We welcome the past acknowledgement of the problem the Pacific faces and expressions of a willingness to help, but now is the time for action. Therefore we call on the Australian and New Zealand governments to recognise the urgency of climate change and the particular threat it poses to the peoples of the Pacific," wrote the NGOs.
Among the actions demanded by the NGOs -- which also includes a call to reduce carbon emissions -- is that Australia and New Zealand establish a plan to assist climate change refugees.
"The primary focus should be on mitigation, then adaption within the Pacific and then resettlement within the Pacific," says Lawson.
But the NGOs also want the region's two largest nations to develop an extension of their immigration quotas specifically for climate change refugees.
Lawson told IPS that putting a plan in place now to cater for the anticipated increase in refugees from the Pacific who may ultimately require resettlement outside their own homelands can avert problems associated with a rushed implementation of such a scheme in the future.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Again, regardless of what you may believe is causing climate change which is a moot point at this juncture, there are and will be climate refugees as a result of rising sea levels, melting glaciers, water shortages, and other events such as desertification, drought, wildfires, floods, etc. Is it not time to plan for what will happen in the event of thousands to hundreds of thousands of refugees moving to other areas? Should the Southwest US become a desert in the next half century, where will the people who live there go? Will we be prepared? And what should be the criteria for resettlement in another area? With the apparent effects of global warming already being felt among Pacific island nations, Australia and New Zealand are being urged... more -

Experiment to unlock secrets of Big Bang could cause end of the world, say some sc...
"It has cost 4.4billion and is designed to unlock the secrets of the Big Bang.
But rather than providing vital information about the beginning of life, the world's biggest experiment could cause the end of the world, say scientists.They fear that the Large Hadron Collider - due to be switched on in a few days' time, will create a black hole that could swallow the planet.
By smashing sub-atomic particles together at close to the speed of light, the LHC aims to recreate the conditions that existed a fraction of a second after the birth of the universe or Big Bang, shedding light on the building blocks of life. But critics claim that the 'time machine', which has been built 300ft beneath the French-Swiss border near Geneva, could instead spawn a shower of mini-black holes.
The Large Hadron Collider smashes particles together at nearly the speed of light
Within four years, one of these 'celestial vacuums' could have swollen to such a size that it is capable of sucking the Earth inside-out, said Otto Rossler, one of a group of scientists mounting a last-minute court challenge to the project.
They claim the experiment violates the right to life under the European Convention of Human Rights. However, the case at the European Court of Human Rights is not expected to delay the switch on, scheduled for Wednesday September 10th.

Gene tests 'show man could live to a healthy 125 and remove threat of cancer&...
Scientists have made a genetic breakthrough which they claim could extend human life and even protect against cancer. They carried out experiments on mice which made them live 45 per cent longer and left them free from tumours.
The researchers are confident that the technique could be used to extend the lifespan of humans - perhaps within 20 years - because the genes involved exist naturally in both mice and humans and perform similar roles. And they say that the breakthrough could one day see all humans benefiting from a longer and healthier life without the threat of serious disease. Leading geneticists and cancer experts say the development is both extraordinary and exciting.
The team of researchers achieved their results by inserting an extra copy of three genes - called telomerase, p53 and p16, already known to be important for longevity and suppressing tumours - into the stem cells of mice.
Inserting an extra copy improves their function in the body because they produce more protein, which makes them more active.This in turn helps telomerase to protect chromosomes from shrinking, a process which normally happens naturally as all living creatures age. And it means p53 and p16 work to prevent cells mutating and dividing - and therefore preventing cancer - while producing a good balance of new and healthy cells.
Key to long life: Tests on mice have helped scientists discover the way to extending the human lifespanThe technique is groundbreaking because it managed to get extra copies of both p53 and p16 into the mice, which scientists have been trying to do for years. It is also the first time that scientists have been able to extend the life of mice in this way while protecting them against cancer.
Previously, mice had been bred to be cancer-free but their lifespans were not significantly altered. In some cases, they were shortened. Scientists have previously extended the life of mice but only by restricting their diet.The modified mice were allowed to breed to strengthen their new DNA pattern, which created a group of ‘supermice’ with longer lifespans and in-built cancer protection.
It is thought the researchers managed to create mice which lived to around four-and-a-half years. Normally, they live for an average of three years.The team, from the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) in Madrid, say this is the equivalent of humans living to 125..."

JACOBS LADDER Int w DEMOCRACY NOW about POLICE MISCONDUCT @ The DNC
August 26, 2008
2008 Democratic National Convention
As the Democrats celebrated inside the Pepsi Center on opening day of the convention, outside on the streets police pepper-sprayed protesters and rounded up dozens of them in mass arrests. The incident began near the Civic Center Park around 7:00 p.m., where a few hundred protesters had gathered to march. The police arrived in full riot gear, surrounded the protesters, blocking them in before firing pepper spray into the crowd. Protesters fled across the park, where they were met by dozens of police officers who boxed them in. Many of the marchers sat down in the street. Nearly a hundred people were arrested.
Democracy Now! arrived on the scene moments afterwards and spoke with some of the eyewitnesses. JACOB: My name is Jacob, and I work with Berkeley CopWatch. We go out, we watch the police when they're interacting with people. So, obviously, we're here at the DNC to ensure that police are not utilizing tactics that are against law. And what took place about an hour ago is, we had a big group of protesters start marching, and what happened is they cordoned off the block on both sides, and without any warning or nothing, they initiated arrests. Now, the rest of the people that should have had an opportunity to leave were asked to go up the street and then were also enclosed. So, basically, what the police did is they just did a mass arrest with the intention of keeping people in jail for the next two days, so they won't be out tomorrow, they won't be out the day after, to protest. STEPHEN NASH: I'm Steve Nash with Denver CopWatch. We're a police accountability group that observes the police, and tonight we watched protesters block the street about a block from here. It's about fifty protesters in the street. The police came at them in riot gear from both sides and hemmed them in. Then they refused to let anybody out, including people who were just on the sidewalk in the group, who were not actually trying to block the street. I saw one older legal observer who begged for the police to let him out, and they refused. They pushed him back into the crowd. Then they donned their gas masks and began pushing the media and legal observers and the public a block away in each direction and in a very aggressive manner. JACOB: 99 percent of the officers tonight that are operating have no identification, which is against the law. An officer has to be identified by a badge or a nameplate. JOHN TARLETON: People were generally very calm. There were several legal observers there from the National Lawyers Guild who gave everybody their legal number, because we were—what was, you know, unclear at that moment was whether the police were going to do a mass arrest. RON KOVIC: I was inside of the Sheraton Hotel watching the convention. I had just heard Ted Kennedy's inspiring speech, and someone whispered in my ear that there's a riot outside. I immediately left. I left the hotel with a friend, and we came outside. We came outside to see what was happening. I came outside because of my concern for you, because of my concern for the young people who are demonstrating.
AMY GOODMAN: And that last voice was by Ron Kovic, the paralyzed Vietnam veteran, antiwar activist, who arrived on the scene soon after the protesters were arrested. Special thanks to Democracy Now! producer Hany Massoud for that report.
Eileen Clancy is with I-Witness Video. We just have a few seconds for Eileen to comment on what has happened. The behavior of the police that you've come to watch as you've watched in conventions past, Eileen?
EILEEN CLANCY: One thing, I have never seen more police officers with fewer identification marks on them as I saw last night. It's a big problem. They have spanking new uniforms. Yet somehow the nameplates didn't manage to remain attached. August 26, 2008 2008 Democratic National Convention ... more -

Save Darfur: Rights groups frustrated by olympics
The pyrotechnics and fake pomp and circumstance of the Beijing Olympics will bring the competition to an end, but the genocide in Darfur that so many seem to have put out of their consciousness goes on.
"The Beijing Olympics have left the world's human rights groups frustrated and angry - convinced that China has been let off the hook for serious abuses, and adamant that future hosts like Russia must be held to a higher standard.
Western activists also are disappointed that among the thousands of athletes at the games, few have made even low-key efforts to speak out about political repression or China's economic ties to Sudan, where violence has raged in Darfur.
"Even if there was an athlete that wanted to speak out on issues of human rights, he might be silenced by whatever IOC official is mediating that press event," Darfur activist and former U.S. Olympian Joey Cheek said in an e-mail Wednesday to The Associated Press.
Cheek, co-founder of a group of athletes known as Team Darfur, had his visa revoked by Chinese authorities hours before he was to embark for Beijing. Team Darfur athletes who are in Beijing have acceded to International Olympic Committee curbs on political comment, resulting in what Cheek called "massive suppression of any voice that the government doesn't want heard."
Prominent human-rights groups have castigated the IOC and the games' major corporate sponsors for their reluctance to place any public pressure on China on such issues as political dissent and press freedom.
"The Chinese government's own voluntary pledges to improve human rights, allow public protests and guarantee 'complete freedom to report' made meeting these self-set human rights benchmarks one of the tests for a successful Olympics," Minky Worden of Human Rights Watch said in an e-mail from New York. "That is a test that both Beijing and the IOC have failed."
She said the Beijing games, rather than bequeathing a positive legacy, "may leave in place permanent technological surveillance and monitoring networks that make doing human rights work even more dangerous and difficult for Chinese citizens."
Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International are calling on the IOC to establish a more rigorous process for assessing the human-rights records of countries which bid for and host future Olympics."
The IOC has met with Amnesty and Human Rights Watch, but IOC spokeswoman Giselle Davies indicated their proposals would likely be rebuffed.
"We're a sports organization. ... we stay clearly within our role, which is to bring sport to host countries," she said Wednesday. "We're not an organization that is best placed or has the capacity to deal with human rights issues"."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With all due respect to Giselle Davies regarding this remark:
"We're a sports organization. ... we stay clearly within our role, which is to bring sport to host countries," she said Wednesday. "We're not an organization that is best placed or has the capacity to deal with human rights issues."
It is OBVIOUS you are not in an organization that has the capacity to deal with nor to care about human rights. And that is damned sad as I always thought the true spirit of sports was brotherhood. It is obvious however, it is now nothing more than a money making machine for selfish people who only care about winning at any cost. Shame on her for that remark.
*To whoever is going into this post and changing it. Please stop it. Thank you. The pyrotechnics and fake pomp and circumstance of the Beijing Olympics will bring the competition to an end, but the genocide in Darf... more -

Doctors debate death!
"A report on three heart transplants involving babies is focusing attention on a touchy issue in the organ donation field: When and how can someone be declared dead?
For decades, organs have typically been removed only after doctors determine that a donor's brain has completely stopped working. In the case of the infants, all three were on life support and showed little brain function, but they didn't meet the criteria for brain death.
With their families' consent, the newborns were taken off ventilators and surgeons in Denver removed their hearts minutes after they stopped beating. The hearts were successfully transplanted, and the babies who got the hearts survived.
"It seemed like there was an unmet need in two situations," said Dr. Mark Boucek, who led the study at Children's Hospital in Denver. "Recipients were dying while awaiting donor organs. And we had children dying whose family wanted to donate, and we weren't able to do it."
The procedure — called donation after cardiac death — is being encouraged by the federal government, organ banks and others as a way to make more organs available and give more families the option to donate.
But the approach raises legal and ethical issues because it involves children and because, according to critics, it violates laws governing when organs may be removed.
As the method has gained acceptance, the number of cardiac-death donations has steadily increased. Last year, there were 793 cardiac-death donors, about 10 percent of all deceased donors, according to United Network for Organ Sharing. Most of those were adults donating kidneys or livers.
"It is a much more common scenario today that it would have been even five years ago," said Joel Newman, a spokesman for the network.
State laws stipulate that donors must be declared dead before donation, based on either total loss of brain function or heart function that is irreversible. Some commentators contended that the Denver cases didn't meet the rule since it was possible to restart the transplanted hearts in the recipients.
"In my opinion, it's an open-and-shut case. They don't have irreversibility, and they don't have death," said Robert Veatch, a professor of medical ethics at Georgetown University.
But others argue the definition of death is flawed, and that more emphasis should be on informed consent and the chances of survival in cases of severe brain damage.
The Denver transplants were done over three years; one in 2004 and two last year. The three donor infants had all suffered brain damage from lack of oxygen when they were born. On average, they were about four days old when life support was ended.
In the first case, doctors waited for three minutes after the heart stopped before death was declared. Then the waiting time was reduced to 75 seconds on the recommendation of the ethics committee to reduce the chances of damage to the heart.
The authors said 75 seconds was chosen because there had been no known cases of hearts restarting after 60 seconds."
So just as debatable as when human life begins is when it ends! What do you think? "A report on three heart transplants involving babies is focusing attention on a touchy issue in the organ donation field: When a... more -
Arrested in Tibet: A young American's journey of fear
Extraordinary story of an American's experience in Tibet, and the truth behind what is happening to people who stand up for freedom. She was one of the lucky ones however... the Olympics may well have saved her. Of course, this is the side of it all that these Olympics through the repressive Chinese government's PR hopes to cover up with fake fireworks, singers, and hype. And of course, that is the 'news' we see on tvs and even here on Current. The undertow to all of this however, is that there are no amount of fireworks, fancy venues and sports hype that can cover up these crimes that continue for so many hoping to experience the feigned brotherhood of these Olympics for real.

A Dangerous Crisis of Invisible Refugees
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States is on track to meet its 2008 goal of taking in 12,000 Iraqi refugees by the end of next month. That's the good news about the worst refugee crisis in the Middle East in 60 years.
The bad news is that 12,000 people represent a tiny fraction of the vast exodus of Iraqis driven from their homes by the violence and ethnic cleansing unleashed by the 2003 U.S. invasion. Estimates of their number vary. The widely used figure of 5 million is about one in five. To get that into context: relative to the size of the population, it would equal the forced displacement of almost 60 million Americans.
Why does a crisis of that magnitude barely register in public discourse in the U.S. and make few headlines? For one, the refugees are virtually invisible. There are no Darfur or Rwanda-style refugee camps that produce television images of shock value. More important, the refugees have not fit into the political agenda of the governments in Washington and Baghdad. The narrative is that Iraq is returning to normal.
At the height of the bloodshed, in 2006, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees said 50,000 people a month were fleeing from their homes, either to safety across the borders or inside Iraq. While violence has sharply subsided since, political and sectarian divisions remain and there has been no mass return. Only a trickle have been granted permission to settle in the U.S. - a paltry 134 a month in 2007...
