Home Security

Here's a new saying I'm trying to popularize: "Storage is like arugula—you can never have too much of it!". With so many of us committing our personal memories—photos, home movies, and music— and large amounts of home- and work-related data to hard disks these days, data storage has never been more essential to the healthy home-computing environment. Not surprisingly, hardware makers have responded over the past year with a dizzying array of storage products that meet every need and price point. In 2007, storage might very well surpass wireless networking, broadband Internet access, and email as the most important technology we access in the home.

A Forthcoming Solution
Not surprisingly, Microsoft is pointing the way with a Windows Home Server (WHS) product that won't debut until late in the year.

The public should oppose food from cloned animals

Cloning scientists have acknowledged that genetic abnormalities are common in clones, yet FDA failed to address how food safety and animal welfare concerns could be managed if cloning is widely adopted by the livestock industry. Some of the health and safety problems in animal cloning include:Surrogate mothers are treated with high doses of hormones; clones are often born with severely compromised immune systems and frequently receive massive doses of antibiotics. This opens an avenue for large amounts of veterinary pharmaceuticals to enter the human food supply. Imbalances in clones? Hormone, protein and/or fat levels could compromise the quality and safety of meat and milk. The National Academy of Sciences warned that commercialization of cloned livestock for food production could increase the incidence of food-born illnesses, such as E.

Somalis Trapped by War and Disaster

The current conflict in Somalia may generate fleeting worldwide attention, but the abysmal day-to-day living conditions faced by Somalis remains largely forgotten. For the past fifteen years, Somalia has been in the grip of internal conflict that has had catastrophic consequences on the health of its people. Somalia has some of the world's worst health indicators: it is estimated that life expectancy is 47 years and more than one quarter of children die before their fifth birthday. The conflict in 2006 was characterized by intense bursts of violence in the capital, Mogadishu, and outlying regions. In July, a coalition under the umbrella of the Islamic Courts wrested control of Mogadishu from the militias that had preyed on the local population for years, and quickly gained influence in the country's central and southern areas.

Blair backs Reid in Home Office row

Tony Blair has expressed confidence that Home Secretary John Reid will turn around the beleaguered Home Office.

The Prime Minister said Mr Reid held the "toughest job in Government" and claimed similar departments around the world faced the same difficulties.

Asked whether Mr Reid was any better than his predecessor, Charles Clarke, the Premier said: "I think the changes John is introducing are the changes that will improve hugely the quality of what the Home Office does."

Mr Blair, speaking at his monthly press conference, insisted that crime had fallen, anti-social behaviour measures were making "a real difference" and that asylum figures were down on 1997.

He went on: "The Home Office, like every home office around Europe and in the world, faces many challenges, but I believe that by taking the measures John has outlined it will improve the situation.
