BB King at 87

BB King at 87: the last of the great bluesmen | Music | The Observer:

"And on he comes, to applause from people who know him well and claim him as their own – the last of the blues masters a few weeks short of his 87th birthday. "Nice evening, isn't it?" he says, and introduces his nephew on sax. Some of his 15 children (all by different mothers) and innumerable grandchildren are in the audience, though one of his daughters died recently of diabetes, as had BB's mother – a poignant riptide beneath the occasion. "I guess you can look at me," he says from the stage, "and tell I'm the old man. My name is BB King."

Kenya - Mau Mau Activists Win UK Torture Court Decision

Many more men and women around the world who were imprisoned and allegedly mistreated during the conflicts that often accompanied the British retreat from empire may also be considering claims: cases that could bring to light evidence of brutal mistreatment of colonial subjects and result in a new and uncomfortable understanding of recent British history.The Foreign Office acknowledged that the ruling had "potentially significant and far-reaching legal implications", and said it was planning to appeal. "The normal time limit for bringing a civil action is three to six years," a spokesman said. "In this case, that period has been extended to over 50 years despite the fact that the key decision makers are dead and unable to give their account of what happened." More

2 War Poems By Siegfried Sassoon

Turkey/Syria Conflict Looming?

Hey, let's all join with NATO in condemning selected killings. The Trojan Horse attack by Turkey into Syria will not amount to much more than the initial incidents. Everybody in Turkey fears the spread of sectarian violence which could all too easily spread to their own country. Meanwhile NATO/CIA continue to foment just such violence in Syria.

Dying Star Picture

In this image provided by NASA Wednesday Oct. 3, 2012 a dying star is throwing a cosmic tantrum in this combined image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope and the Galaxy Evolution Explorer. In death, the star's dusty outer layers are unraveling into space, glowing from the intense ultraviolet radiation being pumped out by the hot stellar core. This object called the Helix nebula, lies 650 light-years away in the constellation of Aquarius.

US Sanctions Biting In Iran

National Poetry Day

War Poet By Sidney Keys
I am the man who looked for peace and found

My own eyes barbed.

I am the man who groped for words and found

An arrow in my hand.

I am the builder whose firm walls surround

A slipping land.

When I grow sick or mad

Mock me not nor chain me;

When I reach for the wind

Cast me not down

Though my face is a burnt book

And a wasted town.
