–> COPYRIGHT 2006 CMP Information Ltd. PROMOTING food miles alone will not be sufficient to support the case for home-grown protected crop produce over imported, delegates were told at an Association of Applied Biologists (AAB) conference last week. In terms of energy consumption, the greatest users in the UK are the 150 or so intensive growers, mainly.
The blame game
On Line opinion – Jul 21, 2006
The phenomenon of “home-grown terror” has seen a fundamental rethink by governments and security services of how the war against terror has been fought. Western governments are seeing engagement of Muslim communities (especially youth) as a security imperative. The difficulties government and media face in understanding Muslim views arise from a number of factors. Unlike other faiths, Muslims have no priesthood and no central hierarchy. There is no such thing as a Muslim “church”… Murdoch’s chilling words were: “You have to be careful about Muslims who have a very strong, in many ways a fine, but very strong religion which supercedes (sic) any sense of nationalism wherever they go. ”
His sentiments have been mirrored in the editorial line taken by virtually all his newspapers whose op-ed pages are frequently used to promote a European monolithic counter-culture as an alternative to the multicultural status quo. With such powerful media and government forces busy edu-hating their religious heritage, how do the majority of moderate home-grown Muslims avoid being marginalised? A key plank of the solution is for young home-grown Muslims to take over peak Muslim bodies claiming to represent them. When ordinary citizens know the facts about their Muslim neighbours, when Islam is no longer seen as alien, the hysteria will hopefully end. But when Muslims living in the West allow themselves to become marginalised in cultural cocoons, and when they become second-class citizens, groups like al-Qaida will find recruitment much easier.

The 5 Star Truth: Organic
ProWrestling.com – Jul 21, 2006
The best way to get a solid storyline is to let it evolve naturally, not completely plan it out from start to finish before hand. WWE uses Ohio Valley Wrestling and Deep South Wrestling to train wrestlers who could potentially be brought up to the main roster. While WWE sees them as “home grown” since many of them originate from these training grounds without much prior experience, it is in fact a factory. Now wrestlers aren’t paying their dues, gaining experience around the world, and truly growing as an all around performer. Instead their experiences and skills are implanted into their brains like Windows is automatically installed in your PC before you even purchase it. They are trained in the less than unique WWE style. And if you do have prior experience, you are disassembled and reprocessed and reprogrammed with the necessary attributes.

Ministers pave way for GM crops as ‘zero cross-pollination’…
Guardian Unlimited – Jul 21, 2006
Although ministers are prepared to consider a lower level for the organic movement, that too would have to be approved by the EU. Peter Melchett, policy director of the Soil Association, said it was appalled ministers were not committed to protecting the organic market, which grew 30% last year with £1. 6bn sales, two-thirds of primary produce being home-grown. “The prime minister is promoting a technology that is well past its sell-by date. In 1999 the Soil Association had a meeting with Tony Blair to discuss GM. He said that, because he was sure that GM food would become a major part of the British economy in a few years’ time, he had to be in favour of it, even if the British people were against.
DEVIL’S ADVOCATE: It’s a Steal
Times of India – Jul 21, 2006
Which means if an average family has
two live-in minors and two grandparents they should easily be expected to bring
home nearly 5,000 bucks of stolen goods every month. And that’s not all. With
home-grown corporate giants also planning to get into the retail act now, can we
not expect some competition? Will Reliance up the ante to, say, 10,000 rupees
worth of goods that they will allow us to steal to pip Wal-Mart?
Will others narrow the age
limit instead to prosecute only thieves between 35 and 36? The National Retail
Federation of the United States says American retailers lose more than $30
billion a year to theft.
