Appeal. Peter Gabriel's Appeal
A Digital Download of 2 MP3 format tracks (256kbs) to raise money for the South Asia Earthquake Appeal.
The massive earthquake which devastated Kashmir, Pakistan and northern India last year has claimed tens of thousands of lives already. But with winter biteing hard, there are fears that the death toll could rise yet further
This is a request for help. We've had ties with Pakistan for many years, particularly with Qawwali music and the extraordinary voice of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. His family have generously agreed to allow us to make available two tracks - one a collaboration with Massive Attack , 'Mustt Mustt' and one with myself 'Taboo', as a download to raise money. So basically you are getting two extraordinary pieces of music for the price of one!
We need a lot of downloads and we need you to do a bit of marketing for us. So, if you could persuade say 10 of your friends to do the same download we can get real money to real people really fast. Please help us to help them!
- Peter Gabriel
We don't keep any of your £1. You get two great pieces of music, and all of your money (except external transaction charges) goes to charities working to support victims of the South East Asia Earthquake. Only 1£ for both tracks - I just paid and downloaded them both. If you haven't heard the amazing voice of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan you should check this out. Or, if like myself you might have a few of his CDs, but you don't have this excellent Massive Attack remix. Taboo, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's collaboration with Peter Gabriel from Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers is also excellent! Go on, head over to Peter Gabriel's Appeal. Spread the word - pass it on.

String Theory and Intelligent Design
String Theory and Intelligent Design. Physicists are not like ordinary people, and string theorists are not like ordinary physicists. Even compared with their peers, crafters of the arcane model of reality that is string theory think in terms of sweeping explanations of nature"s design.from the International Herald Tribune story: Leonard Susskind, a founder of the theory and one of its leading practitioners, brazenly lays out this no-boundaries attitude on the first page of his new book. His research, he declares, "touches not only on current paradigm shifts in physics and cosmology, but also on the profound cultural questions that are rocking our social and political landscape: can science explain the extraordinary fact that the universe appears to be uncannily, nay, spectacularly, well designed for our own existence?" What troubles Susskind is an intelligent design argument considerably more vexing than the anti-evolution grumblings recently on trial in Dover, Pennsylvania. Biologists can point to unambiguous evidence that evolution truly does happen and that it can account for many otherwise inexplicable aspects of how organisms function. [Physics Org]
