Murdoch not interested in 5 James Murdoch has ruled out swapping British Sky Broadcastings stake in ITV for ownership of Five, RTLs UK channel. The satellite broadcaster, which has a paper loss of about £320 million (E463m) on its 17.9 per cent stake, may be forced by the Competition Commission to sell its stake. The Commission is expected to make its recommendation to ministers next month. "Theres this big theory that Skys going to buy channel Five, thats what Sky really wants. Ill just tell you right now, it isnt," Murdoch told a bank conference. He said: "We think the ITV franchise is a valuable one ...
Evolutionists At War Over Altruism’s Origins
An intellectual war of words has broken out between two of the world's leading evolutionists. Oxford University's Richard Dawkins and Harvard's Edward Wilson have gone head to head over the evolution of altruism in the animal kingdom, and whether it can have come about as a result of something called group selection.The subject matter of their dispute is social insects, particularly ants, which display a supreme form of altruism in that sterile workers lay down their lives for the benefit of their fertile colleagues in the colony. Conventional Darwinian theory could not really explain why one individual should sacrifice its own life, and its precious genes, for the benefit of another individual, unless it could be viewed in terms of group selection, when indi-viduals do it for the benefit of the colony or the species.
Fame comes with a lot of baggage
Mohammed Atif Siddique was found guilty of a string of terrorism offences. However, during his trial, defence and prosecution had argued over whether the 21-year-old IT student had been actively promoting atrocities or was merely a "stupid young man" researching Islamic terrorism on the internet.On the day the United States remembered the 11 September attacks, Osama bin Laden appeared in a video message praising the 19 "champions" who murdered 3,000 people. Bin Laden mentioned other colleagues who'd "fulfilled their promises to God" by getting killed, before concluding: "And now it is our turn." However, he himself declines to go on suicide missions, preferring to carry out vital work in the rear, earning him the nickname "Captain al-Darling".Bin Loony looked well in the video, with his beard miraculously black after its previous grey.
Police Won't Question Olsen About Ledger
There's absolutely no indication investigators were going to speak to Mary-Kate Olsen," Kelly said at a news conference Sunday, echoing previous statements by police officials. "They determined that they had all the info needed from witnesses who were on scene: That's the cleaning woman, the masseuse." Ledger's masseuse, Diana Wolozin, found his body Tuesday in his Manhattan apartment. She had an appointment with Ledger, who starred in "Brokeback Mountain" and other films. Police have said Wolozin made three calls to Olsen before dialing 911 for help, then phoned the 21-year-old actress a fourth time after paramedics arrived. At some point during the calls, Olsen, who was in California, summoned her personal security guards to the apartment to help, police have said.
Olympics will take £184m of lotto funding from Scotland
However, Tessa Jowell, the Olympics minister, hit back, branding the Nationalists "mean-spirited" and claiming their opposition to the Games flew in the face of Scottish public opinion, which heavily backed them. Jimmy Hood, the Labour MP for Lanark and Hamilton East, also denounced the SNP criticism as a "vile" and baseless attack. The UK Government was able to get Westminster's approval to the transfer of £1.1bn of National Lottery cash to pay for the London Olympics after promising MPs there would be no further raids on the good causes fund. .
