A couple articles describing a US Geological Survey stating theres alot of "undiscovered technically recoverable oil" in the arctic.  Perhaps not big news in itself, but the survey maps suggest massive areas of resource and implied international interest.  Interesting data...

I was scanning the daily news and came across this seemingly mundane article about a NS Minister [Fage] leaving the scene of an accident.  Minister Fage apparently stuck Mr. Gamble's car. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/ns_politician_crash Nothing really appeared interesting about the...

Get ready folks, Star Trek XI is coming. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0796366/ Difficult to picture Matt Damon as Kirk.  Think of Damon on the bridge. A call comes in.  Instead of saying, 'Kirk here", he'll say something ztupid like, "I'm Matt Damon".

I've read two news articles involving a furtherance of Ontario government legislation: http://toronto.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20051213/smoke_alarm_051213/20051213?hub=TorontoHome http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20051213/ont_education_age_051213/20051213?hub=Canada...

In the news recently, China has made policy changes allowing a process in which to take military action against Taiwan.  China is securing resources around the world. North Korea, Iran, and elements in the middle east are somewhat battling the US over regional dominance and idealology.  Britian...

It seems the quest for resources these days as it relates to the middle east appears to be growing or at least more contentious in the news.  China and Japan are seeking access to resources and are becoming definite competitors. I wonder whats going to happen in a few years with the US, the EU...

This is another Stratfor special and provides their opinion of the current and near future situation in Iraq from a US perspective.  It certainly makes one think of what may happen next and points out the challenges facing the Bush Administration. THE GEOPOLITICAL INTELLIGENCE REPORT Facing...

From the beginning of the war in Iraq, I don't believe the US invaded to primarily secure and control oil in Iraq.  I do believe that the US is at war with Al-Qaeda and is concerned what Al-Qaeda could do in the region if the government in Saudi Arabia fell, or the actions of other regional...

Has anyone tried the new Delta Force:Joint Operations demo game from Novalogic? The ability to use, drive and fly APCs, hummvees, helicopters (attack and transport), ships, motor craft, and using anti-aircraft/armour weaponry is simply amazing. It adds a new dimension to first person shooters...

I had a hard time figuring out where to put this post. Might have been better in Recruiting as it has a bearing in people visiting the CFLRS site. I have a mild complaint. The designers of the CFLRS site have not updated the Graduations list since the Fall of 2003. It is kinda cool to see...
