Decision time for India’s nuclear exemption

24 07 2008

So the on-again, off-again U.S.-India civilian nuclear co-operation deal is back on, although just barely. Tuesday, after a raucous two-day debate complete with cash-for-votes charges, the Indian Parliament voted confidence in Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s government and the nuclear deal on which he staked his administration.

The deal is intended to lift the prohibitions on civilian nuclear trade with India that were imposed after the country’s warhead tests in 1974 and 1998. Arms control critics of the deal hoped it would ultimately fade away in the face of strong opposition within India itself — opposition based not on proliferation concerns but on the fear that it would tie New Delhi’s foreign policy too closely to Washington’s. But now, with parliamentary endorsement, the deal moves on to face two multilateral tests.

In early August, the board of the International Atomic Energy Agency will consider, and now likely approve, a new safeguards agreement with India that will cover civilian nuclear facilities to be newly designated as such under the deal.





Fredericton science centre finds missing frog

24 07 2008

A tree frog that disappeared from Fredericton’s Science East has reappeared.

Buddah, an exotic White’s tree frog, was found by a staff member at the downtown science centre on Wednesday morning.

The amphibian was spotted in the downstairs area of the building sitting on a staff member’s bag, said Karla Gimby, who works at Science East.

Gimby said it’s not clear if the frog was returned by an abductor or if she never actually left the building.





Review: New iPhone lives up to the hype

24 07 2008

I’ve been writing technology reviews for nearly 20 years and I can never recall a time when I’ve waited for a product with such anticipation. After being one of the fortunate few to get hands-on time when the first generation iPhone was announced at Macworld in January 2007, I eagerly looked forward to the iPhone’s introduction in Canada. I honestly didn’t think I’d have to wait this long, nor did I think a device could get so much better than the original on just the second version.

The new 3G iPhone is worth the wait and is a quantum leap forward from the original.

Smaller, more powerful, with a ton of new enhancements, the 3G iPhone is a technophile’s dream. Calling the iPhone a phone is like calling a Ferrari a car — it’s a lot more than what meets the eye.





Music of the Dead debuts as live symphony

It’s a symphony for the Dead, or rather, fans of the Dead.

The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra will present the world premiere of Dead Symphony No. 6 next Friday, the day the Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia would have turned 66.

It’s the first orchestral work inspired by the music of the Grateful Dead, whose loyal following is legendary.

The 50-minute performance will include a psychedelic light display, and approximately 2,000 Deadheads, as Grateful Dead fans are known, are expected to attend.
