Coolio. Other XML based tools also available for download. .< 8:12:14 PM  >New Britten work found15-minute piece discovered among composer's papers, reports Independent on Sunday [Gramophone - News] I'm a fan of Britten's music. This was written when he was only 16 but apparently even his very early work stands up well. .< 8:08:26 PM >EMI expands online music sales 140,000 tracks from 3,000 artists for download - including Rattle and Domingo [Gramophone - News] .< 8:06:15 PM >CBC News: SARS experts say WHO advisory an 'over-reaction' '[Dr. Colin D'Cunha, Ontario's medical officer of health] noted the number of active severe acute respiratory syndrome cases in Toronto is now 124; 10 days ago it was 159. Dr. James Young, Ontario's public safety commissioner said all 124 individuals are in isolation. [...] D'Cunha noted that the deceased suffered from other health problems, such as congestive heart failure.' So now there's a travel advisory? .< 8:02:20 PM >CBC News: Health minister surprised by SARS travel advisory 'Health Minister Anne McLellan insists she didn't know the World Health Organization was going to slap Toronto with a SARS-related travel advisory. The Geneva-based arm of the United Nations, however, is claiming it gives every affected country 24 hours notice.' .< 7:59:53 PM >CBC News: Toronto mayor rails against WHO warning 'For the overwhelming majority of Toronto's 2.5 million people, the risk of contacting SARS in their day-to-day life is minimal, said Basrur. "If it's safe to live in Toronto, it's safe to come to Toronto," Lastman declared.' Mel's a bozo but he got this one right. .< 7:53:17 PM >U.S. Warns Iran Against Interfering in Iraqi Politics The warning was in response to signs that Tehran is trying to influence Iraqis to oppose U.S. forces and to push for an Islamic government. [New York Times: NYT HomePage] It's rather galling to sit back and watch the headlines roll in: US warns this, US threatens that, US tells so and so to such and such. The world's one hyperppower is a bully and they like it like that. .< 7:50:28 PM >U.S. Officials Consider Ways to Punish France French officials responded brusquely today to comments by Secretary of State Colin L. Powell that France would be made to suffer for its opposition to the war in Iraq. [New York Times: NYT HomePage] .< 7:49:25 PM >Masculine men 'are healthier' Men with strong masculine features are actually healthier - and it is this which may make them more attractive to women. [BBC News | World | UK Edition] .< 7:48:14 PM >W.H.O. Adds Toronto to List of Cities to Avoid Because of SARS With the disease spreading every day and a 15th person in Toronto dying of the ailment today, what once looked like a model plan appears to have been shattered. [New York Times: NYT HomePage] This is BS. There are fewer cases in TO than there were a week ago, a 16 person has died, and the WHO clearly stated that the advisory was in no way an indictment of work the health community in TO is doing. |
