Soviet Shuttle Spare Bar in Simferopol

The history of a Crimean airport that used to be the region's busiest.

(SIMFEROPOL, Ukraine) - In January 2011 we will observe the 75th anniversary of Simferopol airport. Its history began 21 January 1936, when it was decided by the of Council of people commissars of Crimean Authonomy to create flying field to the north of Simpferopol.

Thus a place was chosen obviously not by chance - latitude sharply 450 N, longitude 340 E. The opening of the first airline route between Simferopol and Moscow took place in May, 1936.

Dinosaur Found Alive: Two Species Recorded in Papua New Guinea

Jurassic Park in New Guinea? Not quite, but close...

(PAPUA, New Guinea) - The Ropen or ‘demon flyer‘ is a monstrous creature that’s terrified the natives of Papua New Guinea for thousands of years. Another smaller creature, the Duah, is possibly related to the Ropen; this creature haunts some of the far flung outlying islands.

Now sensational eyewitness reports—collected by determined exploration teams seeking strong evidence of the creatures—have led serious researchers to the conclusion that two distinct animals exist.

Israel`s Pillars of Samson; Not Quite Armageddon, But...

Israel has had ongoing access for decades to US nuclear codes and systems, and may well be able to override safeguards here to obtain command and control

(JACKSON, Miss.) - As the US edges toward an unprovoked and utterly needless war with Iran, some remarks by an eminent and experienced observer of that part of the world caught my attention.

First, he noted that, “Israel and the US realize that the next war will burn much of the Middle East and may well spell the end of Israel.”

How Brilliant Computer Scientists Solved the Bermuda Triangle Mystery

Oceanographic surveyors of the sea floor in the area of the Bermuda Triangle and the North Sea region between continental Europe and Great Britain have discovered significant quantities of methane hydrates and older eruption sites.

(CHICAGO) - According to two research scientists the mystery of vanished ships and airplanes in the region dubbed "The Bermuda Triangle" has been solved.

Step aside outer space aliens, time anomalies, submerged giant Atlantean pyramids and bizarre meteorological phenomena ... the "Triangle" simply suffers from an acute case of gas.

Mother Cells Identical to their Embryos

The research has been supported by the U.S. Ministry of Science and Innovation.

(MADRID) - A team of scholars from Harvard University in the United States has shown in a Science publication an unprecedented procedure admitting the creation of mother cells with the same regenerated characteristics of their embryos.

Exposed: Tracking Phones Implanted in Your Brain Coming Soon

Maybe someday the timeworn saying, A chip off the old block will become A chip in the old blockhead.

(CHICAGO) - While there are organizations out there that want to get under your skin--by implanting RFID devices the size of a grain of rice in the back of your hand--others plan on getting into your head. Literally.

If computer chip giant Intel has its way, in the future most people who hear voices chattering away in their heads won't need to seek a psychiatrist, they'll just need to talk back.

In Support of President Obama

Unfortunately, there is little media attention given to how much he has done in his first 17 months in office.

(SAN FRANCISCO) - I voted for Barack Obama for president because I saw him as left of center. Obama's record as an Illinois state senator (1997-2004) and his short time as a U.S. Senator (2005-2008) provided me with little or no evidence that he was a progressive or a far-left liberal.

Green Energy Myths

Oregon citizens and especially Oregon politicians need to get wise to these “green” energy scams, and realize that the policies are being promoted by the National Parties.

(EUGENE, Ore.) - “Green” energy, “renewable” energy, and other buzz words are all the rage in national politics.

The obsession of rich urban elitists with pretending that their lifestyles are not massively destructive to the environment gets passed down to the rest of us in the form of ridiculous sermons about reducing energy consumption, and boondoggle white elephant investments in high tech junk, all on the tax payers' tab.

Irvine-Corona Tunnel Is A Highway to Many Hells

A Tale of Two Counties That Ignore Biological Consequences.

(IRVINE, Calif.) - The “dig, baby, dig” crazies have taken over Southern California, matching their oil and natural gas drilling whacko friends in fantasy trade-offs that nonsensically create more problems than they solve.

After all, this is riotous Lotus or La-La Land, and no one typifies it more than those who think the next great concrete band-aid will be the one that instantly remedies our over-population hence traffic circulation problems.

Long Term Trends: Energy Economics

Money is an abstraction of value. Value is the reality, determined by necessity, for which all social exchange takes place.

(EUGENE, Ore.) - Economics, or to be precise money, rules the day-to-day lives of many people in our society. When people go to vote in elections, they are told by pollsters that the most important issues are jobs, the economy, and taxes, all of them questions of money.
