311 is a rock/reggae/rap band that is based in L.A. They have a huge following in the United States, and a rather large intl. following. I am surprised you don't know them, though I am sure you would be familiar with their songs. For instance, Come Original... **EDIT: I have started a 311 thread in Other Multimedia. I have uploaded Come Original there. This is one of their best songs - so much ENERGY and MELODY**

is there any debate that these will be quality albums? i think not.

http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=4614004&page=1 Olympic Torch Emits 5,500 Tons of CO2 By DAVE DEMERJIAN April 9, 2008 Angry protesters, riot police, mass demonstrations, arrests for disorderly conduct -- it hasn't exactly been smooth sailing for the Olympic-torch relay. If people are looking for another reason to be pissed at China, how about this: By the time this pyro parade is over, it will have produced about 11 million pounds of carbon emissions. Chinese President Hu Jintao holds the Olympic torch after lighting the cauldron during the Beijing 2008 Olympic torch lighting ceremony, Monday, March 31, 2008, at Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China. (Robert F. Bukaty/AP Photo)The torch is visiting 23 cities during a global sweep that includes stops in London, Paris, San Francisco, Bangkok, Islamabad and Almaty among others. The Beijing Olympics Organizing Committee says the journey will cover more than 85,000 miles. Related Biofuel: Bad for the Environment?San Francisco Braces for Torch ProtestsBuy a Carbon Offset, Save the Planet? So when the torch isn't being marched through city streets and/or extinguished by protesters, how is it getting around? You guessed it, by plane -- an Air China A330 custom painted with the Olympic logo and color scheme. The A330 burns 5.4 gallons of fuel per mile. That translates into 462,400 gallons for the entire trip. With Earthlab estimating that every gallon of jet fuel burned produces 23.88 pounds of CO2, the Olympic Torch Relay is adding about 11 million pounds of carbon to the atmosphere. That's 5,500 tons. London has a plan to ensure that the 2012 torch relay ends up carbon neutral, so we figured that Beijing must have one too, right? Sally Lu, the frazzled Olympic media relations rep that we reached in Beijing, says that if there is a plan to neutralize the torch-carrying jet's carbon emissions, she hasn't heard about it. But she thinks there is one. Probably.

Independent.co.uk Mobile phones 'more dangerous than smoking' Brain expert warns of huge rise in tumours and calls on industry to take immediate steps to reduce radiation By Geoffrey Lean Sunday, 30 March 2008 Mobile phones could kill far more people than smoking or asbestos, a study by an award-winning cancer expert has concluded. He says people should avoid using them wherever possible and that governments and the mobile phone industry must take "immediate steps" to reduce exposure to their radiation. The study, by Dr Vini Khurana, is the most devastating indictment yet published of the health risks. It draws on growing evidence – exclusively reported in the IoS in October – that using handsets for 10 years or more can double the risk of brain cancer. Cancers take at least a decade to develop, invalidating official safety assurances based on earlier studies which included few, if any, people who had used the phones for that long. Earlier this year, the French government warned against the use of mobile phones, especially by children. Germany also advises its people to minimise handset use, and the European Environment Agency has called for exposures to be reduced. Professor Khurana – a top neurosurgeon who has received 14 awards over the past 16 years, has published more than three dozen scientific papers – reviewed more than 100 studies on the effects of mobile phones. He has put the results on a brain surgery website, and a paper based on the research is currently being peer-reviewed for publication in a scientific journal. He admits that mobiles can save lives in emergencies, but concludes that "there is a significant and increasing body of evidence for a link between mobile phone usage and certain brain tumours". He believes this will be "definitively proven" in the next decade. Noting that malignant brain tumours represent "a life-ending diagnosis", he adds: "We are currently experiencing a reactively unchecked and dangerous situation." He fears that "unless the industry and governments take immediate and decisive steps", the incidence of malignant brain tumours and associated death rate will be observed to rise globally within a decade from now, by which time it may be far too late to intervene medically. "It is anticipated that this danger has far broader public health ramifications than asbestos and smoking," says Professor Khurana, who told the IoS his assessment is partly based on the fact that three billion people now use the phones worldwide, three times as many as smoke. Smoking kills some five million worldwide each year, and exposure to asbestos is responsible for as many deaths in Britain as road accidents. Late last week, the Mobile Operators Association dismissed Khurana's study as "a selective discussion of scientific literature by one individual". It believes he "does not present a balanced analysis" of the published science, and "reaches opposite conclusions to the WHO and more than 30 other independent expert scientific reviews".

Last week's Bosnia lie wasn't the only big lie she's told over the years. Here are some of the better ones: Then there's the story about Chelsea jogging around the World Trade Center when the Islamic terrorists attacked on 9/11. Wasn't true. Chelsea was nowhere near the trade center. Where did Hillary get this story? Did her daughter make a mistake and tell her that she was out jogging? Hardly. There was no basis at all for this lie. None. This was Hillary trying to make herself a part of this tragic story .. telling a bold lie in order to bring to herself just some of the sympathy felt for those who suffered actually losses in this attack by Muslim goons. How about Monica Lewinsky? Do you really think that the whole story was just made up by some "vast right wing conspiracy" to discredit her husband? Come on now. How many so-called "bimbo eruptions" had Hillary handled before Monica came huffing along? She knew what a whore-dog her husband was, yet she sat there and prattled on about a right-wing conspiracy. Just another lie. Then we have the Sir Edmund Hillary thing. Yeah .. her mother named her after the first person to climb Mt. Everest. Problem is, nobody had heard of Sir Edmund Hillary when Hillary Rodham was born. A lie. Remember Bill Clinton pardoning those Puerto Rican FALN terrorists as he left office? Hillary was running for the Senate in New York at the time, and the Puerto Rican community was demanding these terrorists be pardoned. Hillary – the woman so involved with everything Bill did in the White House – says she didn't know about the pardons. Right. Oh yeah ... Hillary wanted to be an astronaut. Remember this one? She wrote NASA to find out how to apply, and she says they wrote back saying that they "don't take girls." Sally Ride was about three years younger than Hillary when she became the first U.S. woman in space. Do you believe that NASA actually sent that letter to Hillary. Then there's this biggie. The Rose Law Firm billing records. This wasn't an inconsequential lie designed to enhance her image. It was a lie to cover her rear end. Investigators wanted her billing records from the Rose Law Firm to see if she had done any work on a tax scam known as Casa Grande. She claimed – under oath – that she didn't have those billing records, that she didn't know where they were, and that she frankly doubted that they existed at all. Well .. it turns out they did indeed exist. They were found in her private quarters in the White House two years after she swore under oath that she didn't have them. Not only were they found, but they had her handwriting and fingerprints on them. This particular lie was a crime. She was never prosecuted. Moving right along to the soccer lie. The story here was supposed to be that Hillary was on a junior high school soccer team and had a confrontation with the goal tender from an opposing team. If I remember the story correctly, the opposing goalie told Hillary that she didn't like white people. Oh yeah .. like high school soccer goalies just spontaneously blurt out their hatred for white people during a soccer game. The problem here was that the school Hillary was attending didn't have a soccer team. Another lie. Hillary says she didn't give the order to fire the White House travel office staff. Staffers remember the exact words she used: "Fire their asses." She then had their asses and all their belongings unceremoniously dumped on the Ellipse behind the White House. -boortz.com Obama is going to win. Hillary is toast. :dance: **Let me clarify. I don't like Obama. I just hate Clinton. I really don't think any candidate is worthy of the Presidency.**

coldplay is awesome. oasis is better. :wink3:

The BEST songs on X&Y are the fast rocking songs, like White Shadows, Low, Talk. What If and especially X&Y (that chorus!) are also IMMENSE. These songs are so much fun. It tapers off with all of the mushy, saccharine crap like A Message, SITS, and Fix You. GAG ME. These type of songs on X&Y don't have the same heart or flowing lyrics that earlier Coldplay ballads had. They are a huge step down. This is where the album fails.

i'm going to try it out and see if it is worth my money...probably will end up buying a copy somewhere down the line.

while we should do everything we can to stop pumping carbons and other things into our air, stop dumping stuff into rivers and streams, etc., it is obvious that global warming is a fraud, born from socialists looking for another avenue of power after capitalism won over socialism almost 20 years ago.

Too bad the whore got any money at all. Next time Macca, listen to your daughter instead of a woman.

just tell me where to spooge...:whatever::dance::smoking::sleeping:

the difference is clear: the israeli military does not target muslim civilians and kill them for political reasons. islamic fanatics do target civilians and do kill them for political reasons

funny how this forum goes wild with rage over anything to do with George W. Bush, but when the truly obvious evil in the world, Islamic Extremism, is highlighted with a post, no response at all...

I cannot begin to express how pumped I was for X&Y. For six months prior, I was on this board believing all the pre-release hype. I LOVED the version of Talk that was leaked (still do), and then when the album came out, while decent, it was no where near my lofty expectations. Looking back, I should have known it would be impossible to duplicate the incredible songwriting and production of AROBTTH. That's why, while very much looking forward to LP4, I am tempering my expectations. I am following the progression of the album, but I won't let the excitement of the release get to my head this time. Personally, I am looking forward much more to the release of Oasis' LP7. Anyone else feel this way?

Do you think there will be a song leak this time around, as was the case with the alternate take on Talk in March 2005? Also, out of curiosity, did anyone figure out how that version of Talk (which easily should have been the album version) became leaked in the first place?

http://www.reuters.com/articlePrint?articleId=USL2270940820080223 Iran fails to answer weapons questions: IAEA Fri Feb 22, 2008 7:25pm EST By Mark Heinrich VIENNA (Reuters) - The U.N. nuclear watchdog said on Friday it confronted Iran for the first time with Western intelligence reports showing work linked to making atomic bombs and that Tehran had failed to provide satisfactory answers. The United States passed the intelligence, which came mainly from a laptop spirited out of Iran, to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in 2005 but out of fear for its spies only authorized the IAEA to present it last month, diplomats said. The IAEA said Iran had dismissed the intelligence as "baseless" or "fabricated", but had provided increased cooperation on other issues in the past few months. Iran's increased transparency amounted to a doubled-edged sword as it reaffirmed Tehran was forging ahead with uranium enrichment in defiance of U.N. Security Council demands to stop all proliferation-sensitive nuclear activity. The IAEA findings, which also said Iran had failed to clear up all outstanding questions by an agreed February deadline, may spur the Security Council to adopt a third round of sanctions against the Islamic Republic as early as next week. The United States, which has accused Iran of having a secret program to build nuclear weapons, said the IAEA's report had produced a good reason to impose new sanctions. Senior diplomats from Britain, France, Germany, the United States, China and Russia would meet in Washington on Monday to discuss the next steps over Iran, Western officials said. Iran, which says its nuclear program is only for power generation to meet the growing demands of its economy, hailed the IAEA's comments as a victory because it said the watchdog had found Tehran was pursuing peaceful activities. In unusually strong wording, the IAEA said in a report Iran had not so far explained documentation pointing to undeclared efforts to "weaponise" nuclear materials by linking uranium processing with explosives and designing of a missile warhead. Publishing details of the intelligence, the IAEA described tests on a 400-metre (1,300 ft) firing shaft seen as "relevant" to atomic arms research and a schematic layout of a missile cone "quite likely to be able to accommodate a nuclear device". "SERIOUS CONCERN" "The (intelligence) studies are a matter of serious concern and critical to an assessment of a possible military dimension to Iran's nuclear program," said the report issued by IAEA head Mohamed ElBaradei. "The agency will not be in a position to make progress towards providing credible assurances about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran before reaching some clarity on the nature of the alleged studies." One crucial requirement was for Iran to implement the IAEA's Additional Protocol, which allows snap inspections that could verify that Tehran is not engaged in secret bomb work beyond declared civilian atomic energy sites. Without that there could be "no confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of the program", said the IAEA. "I think that this (IAEA) report demonstrates that whatever the Iranians may be doing to try to clean up some elements of the past, it is inadequate," U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told reporters in Washington. "So I think this is just good reason to move forward with the Security Council resolution (for more sanctions)," she said. But Iran, the world's fourth largest crude oil producer, said the IAEA report had reaffirmed its program was for peaceful purposes. "I congratulate the Iranian nation for this success and victory which was a result of their resistance on (the country's) nuclear rights," chief nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili said. "From our viewpoint this issue has ended." Iran says it aims to refine uranium only to the low level needed for power plant fuel so it can export more oil wealth. The IAEA said Iran had given its officials a long-sought look at work to launch a more durable centrifuge meant to overcome technical glitches hindering uranium enrichment. It said Iran was testing "IR-2" centrifuges, an upgrade of a design obtained from Pakistani-led nuclear smugglers, in the pilot wing of its Natanz nuclear complex. IR-2s can enrich two or three times faster than P-1s.

oh, you mean "long live the mass-murdering communist dictator"? nice sentiment.

This is all anyone has to know about Islam. Any religion that doesn't love dogs is suspect. http://www.foxnews.com/printer_friendly_story/0,3566,331528,00.html Iranian Man Sentenced to 4 Months in Jail, 30 Lashes for Walking Dog Wednesday, February 20, 2008 A 70-year-old Iranian man was arrested and sentenced to four months in jail and 30 lashes for walking his dog, Adnkronos.com reported Tuesday. Police caught the man on the street with his dog in Shahr Rey, a suburb of Tehran. Owners of domestic animals are forbidden from taking them on the streets of the city because Islam considers dogs to be impure. An Islamic judge later charged the man for "disturbing the public order,” Adnkronos.com reported. Despite repeated warnings by the police, dog owners continue to defy authorities by taking their dogs outside their homes. Typical punishment for people caught with dogs outside is a fine or the "detention" of their animals in a pound, Adnkronos.com reported. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad recently provoked debate in Iran about dog ownership when he took possession of four guard dogs, bought in Germany for approximately $161,040 each.

congrats! this is great news for the world. one more country rids itself from the sphere of russian influence. :dance:
