The Mystery of the Disappearing Airmen
Futility Closet on the curious cases of Ernest Cody and Charles Adams, two naval officers who vanished from a World War II surveillance blimp over the Pacific.
In 1942 Navy lieutenant Ernest Cody and ensign Charles Adams piloted a blimp out of San Francisco into the Pacific, looking for Japanese subs. A few hours later the blimp drifted back to land, empty.

A Time for Strings
We need to stimulate state and local economies. We also need to keep close watch on what we're stimulating.
What do we really want to accomplish with the money that is about to come pouring out of Washington?
State and local governments would certainly like cash without conditions, but that isn't going to happen. After the first $350 billion of federal bailout money went to banks that proved reluctant to tell anyone what they did with it, policy makers are in no mood to write ever-bigger checks with no restrictions.
Of course, states and localities aren't in the habit of turning down money from Washington just because it has a few strings attached. President Nixon's general revenue-sharing program in 1972, although pretty loose in what it allowed local governments to spend the money on, required them to audit their books, which many had never done before. Thousands of local governments took federal funds - and conducted their first-ever financial audits.
So there will be strings on the stimulus this time. The question is what they might be. Here are some ideas from the left, center and right.
From the left, transparency rules. While he was in the Senate, Barack Obama's biggest contribution to government management was his sponsorship (along with Senator John McCain, among others) of the USASpending.gov Web site. It provides one-stop information about where federal contracts, grants and loans go. Transparency is likely to be one of the management cornerstones of the Obama administration.
Thus, if the stimulus package gives governors cash to improve the states' financial stability, the feds could reasonably ask them to document in real time what effect the emergency aid is having on their fiscal condition. If mayors get money to repair infrastructure, the feds could ask them to chart improvements in the condition of their bridges and the amount of water saved by fixing sewers and mains.
There's no question that state and local governments are facing a genuine emergency. The financial meltdown struck them just as expanded pension and benefit obligations were hitting their budgets. The costs of health care alone have produced staggering burdens. This is not a problem that will be solved quickly, but we'll be able to have a smarter debate about what to do in the long run if we have a better sense of what effect the stimulus package produces in the short run.
From the center, the talk is about coordination and cooperation. Most of the options on the table for stimulus money - expanding Internet access, promoting affordable housing, strengthening local schools, supporting medical assistance and social service programs, and improving infrastructure - deal with problems that cross state and local boundaries. As Brookings analyst Bruce Katz has pointed out, when it comes to improving transportation, we need strategies "that transcend state borders." The feds could set aside a big chunk of cash for only those governments - state and local - that agree to work and play well with others across those borders.
On the right, the market is the answer. The meltdown has crippled the municipal debt market, where state and local governments are paying big interest premiums to borrow - when they can borrow at all. Lots of important proposals, such as Pennsylvania's plan to lease its turnpike in exchange for up-front cash that could be used for infrastructure improvement, have taken big hits.
The feds could use some of the stimulus money to shore up the municipal debt market and facilitate deals that private investors might fund if things weren't so unsteady. With this approach, the feds wouldn't just be shoveling money out the door. The markets would be deciding which deals made the most sense.
Of course, all three strategies share one big problem: The goal of the stimulus is to spend the cash as quickly as possible. The more rules there are, the longer it will take for the money to help buoy the economy.
But as the money cascades out the door, it's worth mulling over what we really want to stimulate. The underlying state-local fiscal problems won't evaporate when the economy bounces back. We've got the chance now to get a running start on the big, lasting puzzles we face. We ought to take advantage of it.

N.O.R.E. - Call To Heaven (Phone Call to Big Pun)
Posted 8 years ago
Tags: N.O.R.E
Hazardis Soundz
It's hard to believe that this upcoming February will mark eight year since the untimely death of Big Pun. Hailed as the best Latino rapper to ever pick up a microphone, Pun's death hasn't been discussed nearly as much as either 2pac or Biggie… until now. Queens rapper, N.O.R.E., who is of Latino heritage himself, dedicates the song Call to Heaven to his Bronx brethren. Updating Pun on all he has missed since he passed, the song is both creative and thoughtful; it's hard to understand why it wasn't included on his newest LP, Noreality. Maybe a song like Call to Heaven will influence a younger generation of hip-hop, unfamiliar with Pun, to do some investigative research.

Chapter OneFREEDOM AND SUFFERING, 196369
The tree of Uhuru planted by Mzee Jomo Kenyatta and watered by blood, sweat, toil and tears is now fully grown. I am sure I am speaking for the whole country when I say that we all derive great comfort from knowing that we enter the next phase of our history united under the leadership, guidance, and great wisdom of Mzee Jomo Kenyatta.
Oginga Odinga during the unveiling of a statue of Kenyatta at the Lumumba Institute in Nairobi, 14 December 1964
Colonel Pink was proud of Lamu's independence celebrations. Having brought his military background to bear as the finance officer for the committee charged by the local authority with organising the ceremonies, the owner of Petley's Hotel in Lamu town was sure the events would surpass those of many larger towns in Kenya. Distance from the capital Nairobi was to be no object. The population of the small island off the north-eastern coast participated in the independence celebrations as fully as other citizens of the new nation. Over 11 and 12 December 1963, Lamu's people enjoyed a football match, a fancy dress competition and, at the moment of independence itself, fireworks. Food was donated to the needy residents of Lamu's hospitals, sweets were handed out to the town's children, and on the water sailing races were held. But most of all, Pink was pleased with the bunting and fairy lights that adorned the waterfront. This was no mean achievement, since the town lacked mains electricity: a local businessman had generously provided a generator so that the quayside could be illuminated for the festivities.
The secret to Lamu's successful Uhuru celebrations, Pink wrote, 'is just one word "Harambee". Men and women of all races have worked harmoniously together, under the wise guidance of the Regional Government Agent and his staff, to make, it is hoped, the occasion truly a memorable one.' Lamu at independence seemed to embody the new Kenya a multi-racial nation intent on overcoming historical divisions by following Jomo Kenyatta's credo of Harambee 'pull together'.
Despite their celebrations, the everyday lives of Lamu's citizens did not easily fit into the new era of nation-states, bureaucracies and international borders. The island was part of trading and social networks much older than any notions of belonging to the new Kenyan nation. Many people in Lamu, and elsewhere in the country, were unwilling to adjust those networks to fit into the framework of the new nation, or to surrender control of the movement of goods and people to the postcolonial state. Much of the population of the Horn of Africa had spent the preceding decades practising what one anthropologist and political scientist, James Scott, calls 'the art of not being governed'; moving around sparsely populated and scantly governed borderlands in order to escape state control and influence.
Shariff Seyyid Ali Baskuti was typical of many of the residents of northern Kenya. Born on a small island off Kismayu in Somalia, he moved to Lamu as a child in 1939. By the mid-1960s, he was earning a living with his motorboat, transporting produce and consumer products and ferrying passengers between Lamu and Kismayu. According to Lamu's district commissioner (DC), Shariff carried out more secretive journeys, too: 'He is a ruthless spy and the enemy of the state.' The DC thought Shariff 'deserves removal or repatriation to his Somalia'. He sent lists of the names of government officials in Lamu district to insurgents known as shifta ('bandits') who had taken up arms against the government in Nairobi in the weeks leading up to Kenyan independence. The insurgency lasted for four years, during which time, the DC alleged, Shariff passed orders from its leaders in Kismayu to the fighters, while transporting rebels and their food supplies around the coastal areas of northern Kenya and southern Somalia. Like a great many other people in north-eastern parts of the country, Shariff was dubious about the state-building project that accompanied independence. If he felt a sense of national affinity, moreover, it was to Somalia rather than to Kenya. One (or both) of these sentiments drove Shariff, and thousands like him, to join the shifta insurgents in fighting for the absorption of much of Kenya's north-east into Somalia.
Many of those who joined the insurgency against the Kenyan state paid a heavy price. Nearly 2,000 people identified by the Kenyan authorities as being shifta were killed during the low-intensity war that lasted until 1967. Kenyatta shed no tears for those killed. At first he tried to claim that the insurgents were not even Kenyans at all. They were, he said, nothing other than Somali citizens sent by the government in Mogadishu to cause havoc and to advance its claims on Kenyan territory. 'I must see one of the raiders alive, or, if not alive, dead to be able to tell the Somalia Government that this [is] one of their people,' demanded the prime minister. But Kenyatta was fooling himself if he believed his own words. Although the insurgents were supplied from Mogadishu, they were in fact overwhelmingly inhabitants of Kenya. And it was not just Somalis who took up arms. Small numbers of Turkana and members of other ethnic communities in northern Kenya also joined the fight. They were concerned not about issues of sovereignty, but about their fear of statecraft that would restrict movement and impose an unprecedented level of state regulation on their daily lives.
The insurgents were resisting processes taking place across the world as the era of European imperialism came to an end. Decolonisation everywhere opened up debates about sovereignty, citizenship and identity. The new nations of the post-colonial world were but one way in which these different ideas were expressed. Frederick Cooper, the foremost historian of African decolonisation, writes that 'the "imagined communities" Africans saw were both smaller and larger than the nation'. In Kenya, KADU represented an appeal to the smaller communities of ethnicity. Ideas of belonging to larger communities proved more perishable but were in wide circulation at the time of independence. Many proud Kenyan nationalists boasted of belonging to a global Pan-Africanist community, or saw Kenyan, Ugandan and Tanzanian independence as a stepping stone on the way to the formation of an East African Federation.
Kenya's many non-African citizens had their larger communities, too. Networks of trade and family connected the country's South Asian population with a global diaspora. Some Kenyan nationalists hostile to the presence of South Asians after independence argued that such connections contradicted notions of nationhood and citizenship. The place of South Asians within Kenyan ideas of the nation has, therefore, been a recurring source of sometimes bitter debate in the post-colonial period. Fearing forced exile an anxiety occasionally realised and the nationalisation of their assets, 30,000 of Kenya's 170,000 or so Asians left the country in the years following independence. Arabs at the coast were similarly conscious of their ties to kin elsewhere in the western Indian Ocean littoral. At the outbreak of the 1967 Six Day War in the Middle East, Arabs in Lamu rushed to the shops to buy radios to listen to news of the conflict, while 'others wanted to enlist as fighters and others wanted to collect money in order to help their brothers in the Middle East'. And while some Kenyans saw themselves as belonging to several different communities all at the same time, a great many residents of the new Kenyan nation-state did not see themselves as Kenyan at all.
The new nation's internal boundaries and the distribution of power between centre and regions were settled more quickly than many had dared hope in 1963. Fears of widespread mass violence over the issue of devolution proved unfounded. But Kenyatta's government was far less successful in resolving the contest over the fate of the new North Eastern Region and northern parts of Coast and Eastern Regions. As Duncan Ndegwa writes in his memoirs, to those in power it seemed as if 'the challenge was in the north'. Somalis could not be easily ignored. Despite amounting to just 1 per cent of the 8 million or so Kenyans at independence, they inhabited an area that amounted to a fifth of Kenya's total territory. The new government in Nairobi was unwilling to surrender this land to the Somali state, and so, over the next four years, the Kenyan security forces tried to bring the rebels to heel.
The experience of colonial rule had provided Somalis in the north with little reason to trust government officials or to feel affection towards the entity of Kenya. Under British rule, the arid north was peripheral to colonial interests and suffered neglect. Colonial officials were content to maintain order and expended little effort in terms of development. Somalis in northern parts of Kenya did, however, feel a pull towards the neighbouring independent state of Somalia and the notion of a Greater Somalia. Greater Somalia offered ethnic Somalis dispersed across the modern states of Ethiopia, Kenya, Djibouti and, of course, Somalia the promise that they would be brought together under one flag. The idea had first been developed at the turn of the century by a British colonial official, and then resurrected by the British foreign secretary, Ernest Bevin, after the Second World War on the grounds of economic expediency.
The idea of Somali unification nonetheless gathered pace among Somalis themselves in the years that followed Bevin's statement. British and Italian Somaliland unified under the flag of the Somali Republic at independence in 1960, and it was hoped that Somalis in French Somaliland, now Djibouti, would join them. Later that year, the Northern Province People's Progressive Party (NPPPP) was formed in northern Kenya with the express aim of promoting secession from the British colony. The NPPPP proved popular, winning the support of the overwhelming majority of Somalis in northern Kenya during elections held in 1961. Leaders of Kenyan Somalis writing in March 1962 were unequivocal in their belief that they 'are members of a single Somali nation'. The nationalist leaders in Nairobi were unmoved by such statements, however.
Neither KANU nor KADU was willing to negotiate the territorial integrity of Kenya. In support of their position they could point to an agreement by the regional grouping, the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which, in order to avoid bloodshed of the sort seen in the Congo, ruled out the adjustment of colonial boundaries by independent states. Kenya's nationalist leaders had their own reasons for wanting to hold on to northern parts of the country. As the US consul in Nairobi reported in May 1963, 'Oil hopes play a role.' Those hopes have not yet been realised, though exploration continues to this day. But, as the British parliamentarian and former colonial administrator in northern Kenya, Lord Lytton, remarked in 1963, 'the quarrel is not about oil'. For KANU, refusal to discuss autonomy for the north was consistent with the centralist policies that also dictated its attitude towards devolution. Autonomy for the Rift Valley would have been much harder to resist had North Eastern Province been granted some form of self-rule. And the Rift Valley and the lands to be vacated by the European settler farmers were the real prize of independence, not the north.
KANU therefore remained belligerent in its opposition to Somali secession. 'We in Kenya shall not give up even one inch of our country to the Somali tribalists, and that is final,' a KANU delegation led by Odinga to the OAU stated in 1963. Although a British-commissioned inquiry into attitudes in northern Kenya found great support for secession, KANU's position won the day. During the negotiations with the Kenyan nationalist delegations in London, the British government accepted KANU's stance on the Somali question as part of a range of compromises made in order to guarantee protection for the settler farmers after independence.
The NPPPP and the Somali government were outraged by continuing Kenyan rule over the north after independence. In an effort to stifle the growing protests, the colonial government arrested three of the NPPPP's leaders and restricted them to remote areas of the country in March and May 1963. Later in the year, Degho Maalim Stamboul, the party's general secretary, was also arrested. Stamboul's father, Chief Maalim Mohamed Stamboul, was later accused of organising the insurgency in North Eastern Province. When it took power in June, KANU was determined not to surrender its prize. But calls for secession only increased. In a telegram to the colonial secretary in London, the Moyale branch of the NPPPP described the prospect of rule by an independent Kenya as a 'new form of imperialism. We demand immediate secession.' Telegrams and protests soon gave way to insurgency.
The insurgency was given some support by Somalia. 'We speak the same languages', said Somali Prime Minister Abdirashid Ali Shermarke in 1962. 'We share the same creed, the same culture and the same traditions. How can we regard our brothers as foreigners?' Shifta fighters in Kenya were therefore given limited supplies of small arms, drawn from Somalia's ample supply obtained through its close relations with the USSR. Over the four years of conflict, shifta units used those firearms to launch isolated attacks on the Kenyan armed forces, police officers and administration officials. The small raid on the Garba Tula police post on the night of 10 February 1964 is an example of the sort of engagements that made up the Shifta War. At Garba Tula, 'a Shifta gang fired shots from close range', and 'the police returned fire in an engagement lasting about an hour but there were no known casualties on either side'. The shifta unit fled the scene after the firefight, taking with it over a hundred camels that had been stolen from herdsmen in the area. The war followed this pattern of sporadic fighting between small groups of soldiers and police, on one side, and small shifta units, on the other.
Both sides frequently suffered casualties in these isolated incidents, and it was a dirty war as well as a small one. Complaints of atrocities committed against innocent civilians were common. On 6 May 1966, Gerishom Majani, the district officer (DO) in Garba Tula, was visited by a delegation led by a local sub-chief, part of the local government structure, who alleged that Kenyan soldiers had killed three people in a homestead at Kulamawe, near Garba Tula. Majani visited the homestead and found that three people, including a seven-year-old girl, had been killed. Bullet casings from standard-issue Kenyan army rifles littered the floor of the compound. Shifta fighters were not necessarily much more popular, however. Having been forced to feed a group of insurgents that passed through his homestead at Kubi Turkkana in March 1965, Eketoei Ngalup later recalled how 'four of the Shifta came to me to take the cattle from my herd. I helped them to take out nine fat heads ... I was warned not to say anything, and if I did I would be killed by the Shifta.' According to one of Ngalup's neighbours, 'This threat is repeated to us very often and especially when such gang comes in.' With only sporadic supplies from Somalia reaching the fighters, they eked out a desperate existence and were forced to live off the land as they crisscrossed the border region of the two countries.
Measures enforced by local administrators and security officers did little to win over support from Somalis. Areas of the province where shifta units were thought to be active were declared prohibited zones, where anyone found was to be arrested and where communal fines were issued to entire villages when shifta activity in the vicinity went unreported to the authorities. Another tactic borrowed from the colonial period was the forced settlement of Somalis into newly constructed villages built around police posts. By 1967, about 10 per cent of the population of North Eastern Province and the northern districts of neighbouring Eastern Province had been 'villagised', to use the parlance beloved of counter-insurgency specialists. Local administrators told Somalis in North Eastern Province that the new villages were meant to help their community 'abandon nomadic life and help people so that they can be kept to their own village having social amenities like schools, health services and protection'. In truth, the government admitted, the purpose of this displacement of the Somali population was the 'elimination of shifta activities'. By denying shifta units easy access to food supplies and intelligence, and by keeping local populations under surveillance, the government hoped the new villages would break the back of the insurgency. In the long term, the Kenyan government hoped villages would 'actually "rehabilitate" a nomad to a settled life'. There was little enthusiasm for villagisation on the part of the local population, however. Instead, thousands of Somalis fled the region in an effort to escape life in the villages.

I just took delivery of a GIANT Rapid 3 2012 that I bought on-line from Ash Cycles
They describe the bikes as being FULLY ASSEMBLED. However don't be surprised when the courier delivers what looks like an unassembled bike. They have assembled the bike in the shop added some handy stickers to the front wheel and peddles (so you know which way round to fit them) and then taken the peddles and front wheel of again and re-packed the bike in its original box.
With a couple of allen keys a spanner and a screwdriver I had the bike out of the box and on the road in under 20 minutes
Fantastic bike at a great price, with great service!

Title: Death of Tecoma stans after heavy rain
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I had two esperanza plants. They have been planted for about four months, this spring. They were blooming and growing. We had six inches of rain in five days and they began to wilt - and then they died. They were not in standing water but close to it. We live at the south tip of Texas.
We are sorry to tell you your poor plant drowned. Esperanza is a widely-used trade name for Tecoma stans (yellow trumpetbush), also known as Yellow Bells. It is a native of West Texas and northern Mexico, and is accustomed to dry soil and little water. It is also a tender perennial, and can suffer significant damage if the temperature drops too far. However, as Hidalgo County is in Zone 11, in the South Texas Plains, it should be fairly reliably evergreen. What it cannot withstand is wet feet. Possibly if the plants had been a little older and more well-established when the rains came, they might have been able to survive. As it was, the water on the roots of your plants was simply overwhelming. Even though you could not see standing water, you can bet it was there. Possibly you have clay, poorly-draining soil, which always aggravates the problem when you have a plant needing good drainage. Our suggestion, if you want to try again on this plant, is to first prepare the holes where you want to plant them by amending with compost or other humus to counteract the clay. Or, if the original location was one where water often collects, perhaps under the eaves of the house, another spot would probably be more beneficial. This plant is well worth the trouble.

Tasty Mexican food. Great atmosphere. Friendly personal. Great service. All items on menu are prepared to perfection.
when There to an open solicitation, the food was ok, not my favorite kind of food. If you like Mexican food I guess it's 1 of the places t visit in SV, but your liking will be up to you. IM more of a seafood person. go figure.
Great Mexican food at a reasonable price. Food is delivered quickly and is fresh. Staff is very friendly and it's in a great location in the center of town basically.
Best in Sierra Vista.
Great food.
Consistent quality.
When it comes to Mexican food, there is no better in South Eastern Arizona.
Our foster great nephew was granted reunification with has father so I treated them to a nice dinner at LA Casita Restaurant.
Went for taco Tuesday. Very busy but was worth the wait. Great decor. Great service. Great food. Had about a dozen of us there. Chicken taco salad was great! Highly recommend. And clean.
Good Mexican food, not necessarily authentic... Been multiple times and they are always accommodating for our family.
I'm new to Sierra vista and wanted to eat some Mexican food and it just happened to be taco Tuesday. $1.00/taco with a minimum of 2 tacos. The inside of the restaurant is nice but the staff are just too busy to actually take care of everyone. I sat without water for awhile and the food isn't great. They microwave...
I go there occasionally, and the last few times the food is been very salty. I noticed that the enchilada sauce, and rice been the worst.
nice place and excellent staff! Try Nana's mole chicken. The mango margarita is delish, and Taco Tuesday is a smashing deal!

if i'm ever as drunk as the girl in front of me... kill me.
I'm having a terrible night. Can I sleep over?
Too tired to pretend that I care : (
Stuck behind a lady in her 70's purchasing a plastic handle of vodka and nothing else. She is writing a check. Hello future.
next time the cops show up in riot gear we should probably leave
and miss being on the news....no way
That's a really weird place to spoon. Especially if there are more accessible places to spoon. Like a bathtub.
at roughly 3:30am you called me saying you were gonna start a big game of strip twister in politics class and i was your partner.
I walked in on you rubbing your nose all over his face while straddling him and yelling "I'M SO SORRY!" repeatedly. I'd say you were in pretty good shape at that point in the night.
Seriously, I want to give you a plaque thanking you for your dedicated service to my vagina.
Honest opinion...too aggressive to bring the funnel out to the bar? Also just so you know im at the bar. with the funnel.
I couldn't drink enough to fuck the friend, you said challenge accepted and stole some chicks shot.
I have what looks like a rubber stamp mark on my cock from last night that says "Magic Marla Approved" Do we know a Marla?
if this uncomfortable exchange we're having is you trying to flirt with me i suggest you stop it before someone gets hurt
My legs r really sober for running now
I don't think that's how sobriety works.
That happens a lot to the people around me. It's like I'm radioactive but instead of cancer, you get desensitized to the word cunt
You declared your undying love to a drag queen, then proceeded to puke into the poor man's purse.

From brain scoops to skin, new technology unwraps mummies' ancient mysteries
Alastair Grant, AP
LONDON — Our fascination with mummies never gets old. Now the British Museum is using the latest technology to unwrap their ancient mysteries.
Scientists at the museum have used CT scans and sophisticated imaging software to go beneath the bandages, revealing skin, bones, preserved internal organs — and in one case a brain-scooping rod left inside a skull by embalmers.
The findings go on display next month in an exhibition that sets eight of the museum's mummies alongside detailed three-dimensional images of their insides and 3-D printed replicas of some of the items buried with them.
Bio-archaeologist Daniel Antoine said Wednesday that the goal is to present these long-dead individuals "not as mummies but as human beings."
Mummies have been one of the British Museum's biggest draws ever since it opened in 1759. Director Neil MacGregor said 6.8 million people visited the London institution last year, "and everyone asked one of my colleagues, 'Where are the mummies?'"
The museum has been X-raying its mummies since the 1960s, but modern CT scanners give a vastly sharper image. Just like live patients, the mummies chosen for the exhibition were scanned at London hospitals — though they were wheeled in after hours.
Volume graphics software, originally designed for car engineering, was then used to put flesh on the bones of the scans — showing skeletons, adding soft tissue, exploring the nooks and cavities inside.
The eight mummies belong to individuals who lived in Egypt or Sudan between 3,500 B.C. and 700 A.D. They range from poor people naturally preserved in sand — the cheapest burial option — to high-ranking Egyptians given elaborate ceremonial funerals.
"You got what you paid for, basically," said museum mummy expert John Taylor. "There were different grades of mummification."
Embalmers were exceptionally skilled, extracting the brain of the deceased through the nose, although they sometimes made mistakes.
The museum's scientists were thrilled to discover a spatula-like probe still inside one man's skull, along with a blob of brain.
"The tool at the back of the skull was quite a revelation, because embalmers' tools are something that we don't know much about," Taylor said. "To find one actually inside a mummy is an enormous advance."
The man, who died around 600 BC., also had painful dental abscesses that might have killed him. Another mummy, a woman who lived in Sudan around 700 A.D. was a Christian with a tattoo of the Archangel Michael's name on her inner thigh.
The star of the show is Tamut, a temple singer from a family of high-ranking priests who died in Thebes around 900 B.C. Her brightly decorated casket, covered in images of birds and gods, has never been opened, but the scans have revealed in extraordinary detail her well-preserved body, down to her face and short-cropped hair.
Tamut was in her 30s or 40s when she died, and had calcified plaque inside her arteries — a sign of a fatty diet, and high social status. She may well have died from a heart attack or stroke.
Several amulets carefully are arranged on her body, including a figure of a goddess with its wings spread protectively across her throat. It's even possible to see beeswax figurines of gods placed inside her chest to protect the internal organs in the afterlife.
"The clarity of the images is advancing very rapidly," Taylor said. "As the technology advances, we have hopes that we may be able to read even hieroglyphic inscriptions on objects inside mummies."
MacGregor said the museum plans eventually to scan all 120 of its Egyptian and Sudanese mummies, and to reveal even more about their lives.
"Come back in another five years and you will hear Tamut sing," he said.

The International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) and the International Shipping Federation (ISF) are united in welcoming the news that the ILO Maritime Labour Convention (MLC, 2006) will enter into force in just 12 months' time, in August 2013, following the announcement that it has been ratified by 30 ILO Member States, the latest being Russia and the Philippines.
The tonnage requirement of at least 33% gross tonnage has also been well exceeded and currently stands at just below 60%.
However, the ILO social partners warn that shipowners will need to ensure they are ready before the new regime of global labour standards comes into force. Significantly, the MLC will be subject to port state control, including the potential for more detailed inspections if ships are thought not to comply, and the possibility of detention in serious cases of non-compliance or where hazardous conditions exist.
ITF and ISF emphasise that the MLC, 2006 has been dubbed the 'fourth pillar' of shipping regulation, alongside the IMO SOLAS, MARPOL and STCW Conventions, and as such is likely to be strictly enforced by flag states and port state control.
ave Heindel, chair of the ITF Seafarers' Section, commented: "The MLC – the seafarers' bill of rights – is a genuine agent for real change. It has the potential to make a real difference to all seafarers, regardless of nationality or the flag of the ship on which they serve. Its entry into force will be the culmination of over 10 years of collective effort by the ILO social partners. At last, we will have a 'one stop shop' for labour standards which we are confident will be genuinely implemented and enforced on a global basis. It means that all seafarers should soon be able to enjoy comprehensive protection of their fundamental rights. It also means good employment practice across the industry so that responsible employers, as represented by ISF, are not disadvantaged by the irresponsible minority."
ISF Labour Affairs Committee Chairman, Arthur Bowring, commented: "Governments are to be congratulated for ratifying the MLC so quickly. This is a Convention with a very wide scope, incorporating labour and social security requirements, and therefore requires detailed study and potential amendment of local legislation to bring it into effect. We expect many more countries will ratify the Convention over the coming year, so that entry into force will be backed up by truly worldwide enforcement.
"This Convention is the result of tripartite negotiation over a lengthy period, which means that the labour standards which we have all agreed can be supported by governments, shipowners and seafarers giving us a uniform global framework of sound employment standards that is required by both shipowners and seafarers," Mr Bowring continued.
An important feature of the Convention's enforcement will be the issue of 'Maritime Labour Certificates' by flag administrations following an inspection. There is also a requirement for ships to complete and maintain on board a 'Declaration of Maritime Labour Compliance'
The MLC addresses a wide range of matters, including the obligations of shipping companies with respect to seafarers' contractual arrangements, the responsibilities of manning agencies, working hours, health and safety, crew accommodation, catering standards, and seafarers' welfare.
Under the tripartite ILO process, ITF and ISF were responsible for negotiating the text of the new Convention with governments, on behalf of maritime employers and seafarers' trade unions, prior to its adoption in 2006. ITF and ISF therefore are keen to see the smooth implementation of the MLC, 2006 when it enters into force in 2013.
Mr Bowring added: "The vast majority of companies should have no difficulty complying with the substance of the Convention, since in large part this is derived from existing ILO maritime standards and accepted good employment practice. However, the enforcement mechanism is new, and it will be important to avoid teething problems when some of the more detailed requirements are applied and interpreted. It will therefore be most important for all ship operators to ensure that they are ready."
Mr Heindel concluded: "The shipping industry is almost certainly unique in having such a comprehensive global framework of employment standards, which is supported on all sides. While there will be lot to do to ensure that the standards are properly enforced in a year's time, I think this is a moment when all concerned can take credit for what has been achieved by the adoption of the MLC, 2006, and the really tangible benefits that this will bring both to shipowners and the seafarers they employ."

Baku spreads its aggressive stance onto others – Armenian FM
December 7, 2012 - 18:41 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Many international organizations on human rights alerted about flagrant cases of racism, intolerance and violations of human rights in Azerbaijan, on the policy of hatred against Armenians, RA Foreign Minister said.
"Azerbaijan is not only ignoring the expectations of the international community, but is constantly taking new steps against the values of civilized world. The latest such case is the Azeri government's release and glorification of the murderer Safarov, who had slaughtered with an axe Armenian officer in his sleep, during a NATO program in Budapest simply because he was Armenian. The Azerbaijani leadership made him a symbol of national pride and an example to follow by youth. The world's reaction was unanimous in condemning what was done by Baku, which has seriously undermined the Nagorno Karabakh negotiation process and endangered the fragile regional stability," Edward Nalbandian said at Dublin-hosted OSCE ministerial council meeting.
"Azerbaijan poses a threat to the regional security by constantly menacing to use force against Nagorno Karabakh and Armenia along with daily war-mongering, by rejecting the proposals on the consolidation of the ceasefire, by systematic provocations and ceasefire violations, by ceaseless acts of vandalism towards the Armenian historical and cultural heritage.
Azerbaijani authorities are notorious for violations of fundamental freedoms in their own country, and are now trying to spread this behavior onto others. Their approach is - if a state is not recognized, then the people living there should be deprived of the human rights and fundamental freedoms. According to this logic, the people in the Nagorno Karabakh Republic should not exercise the right to freedom of movement, be cured, get education, use drinking water and even give birth," Minister Nalbandian said.
