NASA to test survivability of apples in space By Roger Segelken NASA space shuttles have carried aloft all sorts of university memorabilia - from microchips and bumper tickers to Ezra Cornell's wedding socks- that were mean­ ingful mainly to astronaut-alumni and Cornellians on the ground. Sometime next year, if all goes well. a shuttle will transport items ofpotential value to space travelers who crave a crisp, juicy taste ofthe home planet: Cornell-grown apples. The experiment to test the survivability of apples in a space-travel environment came.about because a university scientist, who IS now the dean of freshmen in the College of Arts and Sciences, entered a contest 10 years ago in hope of winning "a really neat telescope."

    ´Operation: Last Chance´: Dilemmas of Justice and Lessons for International Criminal Tribunals This is an extended version of the blog post that has been published on the OUP blog. By Sergey Vasiliev* In late July 2013, The Guardian reported that the Simon Wiesenthal Centre had launched a poster campaign in three German cities—Berlin, Hamburg, and Cologne—requesting the public to assist in identifying and bringing to justice the last surviving alleged perpetrators of crimes of the Nazi regime. No less than two thousand posters were hung in the streets, featuring an authentic sinister black-and-white image of the most horrific dead-end the modern-era humankind has seen: the snow-covered rail tracks approaching the gate of the Auschwitz II-Birkenau extermination camp. The inscription underneath the photo reads, in German: ‘Late but not too late. Millions of innocents were murdered by Nazi war criminals. Some of the perpetrators are free and alive! Help us take them to court.’ A monetary reward of up to €25,000 is promised for valuable information leading to indictment (€5,000), conviction (€5,000), and detention for the period up to 150 days (with a tariff of €100 per day). The poster appeal implements the Centre’s initiative ‘Operation: Last Chance II’, the sequel to the campaign which kicked off in Germany in 2005 and, a few years earlier, in Austria, Baltic countries, and * Many thanks to Alexandra Popova, Elies van Sliedregt, Elinor Fry, Klaas Rozemond, and Harmen van der Wilt for their comments on a previous draft.

  • An Inquiry Into Contemporary Australian Extreme Right
    THE OTHER RADICALISM: AN INQUIRY INTO CONTEMPORARY AUSTRALIAN EXTREME RIGHT IDEOLOGY, POLITICS AND ORGANIZATION 1975-1995 JAMES SALEAM A Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor Of Philosophy Department Of Government And Public Administration University of Sydney Australia December 1999 INTRODUCTION Nothing, except being understood by intelligent people, gives greater pleasure, than being misunderstood by blunderheads. Georges Sorel. _______________________ This Thesis was conceived under singular circumstances. The author was in custody, convicted of offences arising from a 1989 shotgun attack upon the home of Eddie Funde, Representative to Australia of the African National Congress. On October 6 1994, I appeared for Sentence on another charge in the District Court at Parramatta. I had been convicted of participation in an unsuccessful attempt to damage a vehicle belonging to a neo-nazi informer. My Thesis -proposal was tendered as evidence of my prospects for rehabilitation and I was cross-examined about that document. The Judge (whose Sentence was inconsequential) said: … Mr Saleam said in evidence that his doctorate [sic] of philosophy will engage his attention for the foreseeable future; that he has no intention of using these exertions to incite violence.1 I pondered how it was possible to use a Thesis to incite violence. This exercise in courtroom dialectics suggested that my thoughts, a product of my experiences in right-wing politics, were considered acts of subversion. I concluded that the Extreme Right was ‘The Other Radicalism’, understood by State agents as odorous as yesteryear’s Communist Party. My interest in Extreme Right politics derived from a quarter-century involvement therein, at different levels of participation.
