no sonar link found in dolphin deathsfrom virginian-pilot: From a public relations perspective, the strandings of four marine mammals here last week couldn't have come at a worse time for the Navy. The service is hosting a public hearing in Virginia Beach today on the effects of its sonar training on marine mammals. Some scientists insist sonar harms dolphins, whales and the like.

bjork's shanghai surprise: a cry of 'tibet!'









from guardian: First, Stephen Spielberg upset Chinese internet users after resigning as artistic adviser to the Olympics over Darfur. Now, Bjork is under attack after shouting "Tibet! Tibet!" at the end of her song Declare Independence at a concert in Shanghai. Her remark was not reported in the official media, but led to angry criticism when it began to circulate on the web. While China's 58-year occupation remains controversial internationally, most Chinese people see Tibet as an integral part of their nation and regard calls for its independence as intrusive and divisive.
