Austria To Pull Out of CERN
AFP report that Austria has announced its intention to withdraw from CERN, citing budget concerns, adding: "Austrian particle physicists are not happy with this. From HEPHY, the Austrian Institute for High Energy Physics: 'All of a surprise Johannes Hahn... announced that he wants to terminate the Austrian membership at CERN... This [would] affect spin-off projects like the planned cancer treatment center MedAustron... which is dependent on collaborating with CERN... Strangely enough this intention just arrives at a time where scientists are about to harvest the fruits of LHC...' Will other countries follow suit?"

Das Fernmeldegeheimnis gewährleistet die Anonymität der Telekommunikation
Aus Anlass des Beschlusses des OVG Münster vom 17.02.2009 (Az. 13 B 33/09) schreiben die Beschwerdeführer der TKG-Verfassungsbeschwerde dem Bundesverfassungsgericht, weshalb das Fernmeldegeheimnis auch die Anonymität der Kommunizierenden und ihrer Kommunikationskennungen (z.B. Rufnummer, E-Mail-Adresse, IP-Adresse) gewährleisten müsse.
Während das OVG Münster in der Identifizierung eines Internetnutzers keinen Eingriff in dessen Fernmeldegeheimnis sieht, kommt der Schriftsatz der Beschwerdeführer vom 05.05.2009 nach eingehender Untersuchung zu dem folgenden Ergebnissen:

Hanf gegen starke Schmerzen
Cannabinoide spielen in der Palliativmedizin eine wichtige Rolle - Die Republik Österreich betreibt eine eigene Hanfplantage
Die Republik Österreich ist einer der ganz wenigen Staaten, die eine eigene Hanfplantage betreiben. Möglich wurde das dank eines Beschlusses, der in den letzten Tagen der vorigen Bundesregierung 2008 beschlossen wurde. "Wir bauen Cannabis für medizinische und wissenschaftliche Zwecke in streng gesicherten Glashäusern an", sagt Roland Achatz von der Unternehmenskommunikation der Agentur für Gesundheit und Ernährungssicherheit (Ages), die diese Einrichtung betreut.

Arbeiter in weißen Overalls
Nach und nach klärt die deutsche Polizei die Hintergründe eines Cannabis-"Industriebetriebes" von ungeahnten Ausmaßen auf. Die Anbauhallen waren so groß, dass sogar Erntehelfer aus Kroatien eingesetzt wurden. Die Arbeiter trugen Nummern auf ihren weißen Overalls - von niemandem durften die Namen bekanntwerden. Allein der Grund für das Auffliegen der Bande wäre einen Roman wert.

Schwarzenegger says 'time for debate' on legal marijuana
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Tuesday it's time for California to study whether to legalize and tax marijuana for recreational use, though he's not yet advocating for such a change.
The governor was asked about a recent Field Poll showing that 56 percent of registered voters support legalizing and taxing marijuana to raise revenues for cash-strapped California. Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco, has proposed legislation that would legalize the drug for recreational use, rather than just medical purposes.
"Well, I think it's not time for that, but I think it's time for a debate," Schwarzenegger said. "I think all of those ideas of creating extra revenues, I'm always for an open debate on it. And I think we ought to study very carefully what other countries are doing that have legalized marijuana and other drugs, what effect did it have on those countries?"

Grandma Arrested for Child Porn
Back in 2005, a WalMart worker in Pennsylvania reported 59-year-old Donna Dull to local authorities after Dull dropped off some film that included shots of her three-year-old granddaughter in and just out of the bath. Dull was arrested—roughly, she says—and charged with producing and distributing child pornography. The charges were dropped 15 months later when a Pennsylvania special prosecutor overruled the local DA. Only Dull, her attorney, and police and prosecutors have apparently seen the photos, which are now under seal. She's now suing.

EU-Parlament gegen Netzsperren ohne Richter
Das EU-Parlament hat dafür gestimmt, dass nur ein ordentliches Gericht, kein "Tribunal" darüber entscheiden kann, ob ein Bürger Einschränkungen seiner Verbindung zu elektronischen Netzwerken hinnehmen muss. Es hat damit die Rechte der Bürger gestärkt. Das Telekompaket selbst muss nun ins Vermittlungsverfahren und kann nicht mehr in der laufenden Legislaturperiode verabschiedet werden.

Nuclear bomb tests help to identify fake whisky
Bottles of vintage whisky can sell for thousands of pounds each, but industry experts claim the market has been flooded with fakes that purport to be several hundred years old but instead contain worthless spirit that was made just a few years ago.
Scientists have found, however, that minute levels of radioactive carbon absorbed by the barley as it grew before it was harvested to make the whisky can betray how old it is.

Indie Record Label Sponsors isoHunt BitTorrent Tracker Site
While the major record labels keep insisting that BitTorrent and tracker sites are somehow evil and need to be shut down, more and more indie artists and labels are recognizing that they actually are quite useful promotion and distribution platforms. We've pointed to some in the past, but the latest is a label called Honor Roll Music, which is promoting one of its popular acts by buying ads on isoHunt, the popular BitTorrent site
