GMOs: Facts About Genetically Modified Food | LiveScience

http://www.livescience.com/40895-gmo-facts.html

By far the biggest use of GMO technology has been in large-scale agricultural crops: At least 90 percent of the soy, cotton, canola, corn and sugar beets sold in the United States have been genetically engineered.

The GMO crops that are widely used have, for the most part, been genetically engineered to control pests in one of two ways: They either produce a pesticide within their tissues, or they are resistant to a pesticide like Roundup (manufactured by Monsanto Corp.).

WHO | Research

http://www.who.int/peh-emf/research/en/

Extensive research has been conducted into possible health effects of exposure to many parts of the frequency spectrum. All reviews conducted so far have indicated that exposures below the limits recommended in the ICNIRP (1998) EMF guidelines, covering the full frequency range from 0-300 GHz, do not produce any known adverse health effect. However, there are gaps in knowledge still needing to be filled before better health risk assessments can be made.

In the Darkness of Dick Cheney by Mark Danner | The New York Review of Books

http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2014/mar/06/darkness-dick-cheney/?pagination=false

Four years after the Americans had declared victory in Iraq—even as the vice-president was "strongly recommending" that the United States attack Syria—more than a hundred thousand Iraqis and nearly five thousand Americans were dead, Iraq was near anarchy, and no end was yet in sight. Not only the war's ending but its beginning had disappeared into a dark cloud of confusion and controversy, as the weapons of mass destruction that were its justification turned out not to exist. The invasion had produced not the rapid and overwhelming victory Cheney had anticipated but a quagmire in which the American military had occupied and repressed a Muslim country and, four years later, been brought to the verge of defeat. As for "authority and influence," during that time North Korea had acquired nuclear weapons and Iran and Syria had started down the road to building them.

SGI’s Long, Strange Trip: from Dinosaurs to Big Data

http://blog.smartbear.com/development/sgis-long-strange-trip-from-dinosaurs-to-big-data/

That kind of high-end computing suits SGI just fine, since it specializes in building massive, scale-out machines and supercomputers. SAP recently announced it plans to build appliances to run SAP HANA, the company's in-memory analytics platform; those appliances will use SGI's scalable shared memory architecture to build massive, petabyte-sized in-memory databases.
