President’s Political Protector Is Ever Close at Hand
The circle around Mr. Obama has grown exponentially since he arrived in the White House. An army of new assistants, deputies and advisers surrounds him, but it is Mr. Axelrod who sits the closest to the Oval Office. His proximity is a symbol, in a unique West Wing kind of way, of how close he remains to Mr. Obama.

Ukraine raids draw a blank
Armed units of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) late last week conducted raids on the headquarters of Naftohaz Ukrainy, the state-owned oil and gas company, and UkrTranshaz, the operator of the Ukrainian gas pipeline company.
The raids were part of a recent SBU investigation into the acquisition by Naftohaz of 11 billion cubic meters of gas that once belonged to RosUkrEnergo (RUE), the shady Swiss-based middleman company, 50% of which is owned by Gazprom and 50% by Dmytro Firtash and Ivan Fursin, two Ukrainian businessmen, according to a March 5 report by the UNIAN press service.
The gas is kept in Ukrainian underground storage facilities andwas formally taken over by Naftohaz after RUE's US$1.7 billion debt to Gazprom was transferred to Ukraine as prepayment for the transit of Russian gas to Europe.

Clinton, Lavrov Expect START Successor in 2009
The United States and Russia plan to finalize a successor to a key arms control treaty this year, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Friday (see GSN, March 6)."We intend to have an agreement by the end of the year," she said, adding that the sides would prepare an agenda for negotiating a Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty follow-on agreement before the U.S. and Russian presidents meet in London next month, the Associated Press reported (Associated Press/Google News, March 6).
"We will do everything to have this agreement reached. This treaty, the present treaty, has become obsolete," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said (U.S. State Department release, March 6).
On Saturday, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev welcomed the opportunities for the sides to pursue nuclear disarmament initiatives, Interfax reported.

STONE THE UNFAITHFUL MONKEY!
Liberal evangelist Tony Campolo, a prominent Obama supporter, is challenging Darwinism and discomfiting traditional allies on the left. Campolo served on the Democratic Party platform committee last year, amending the party's abortion language slightly to assuage pro-life evangelicals. In the 1990s, Campolo was arrested in the Capitol Rotunda in protest against the new Republican Congress. A prominent defender of Bill Clinton before and after Monicagate, Campolo served as one of Clinton's three advertised spiritual counselors.So left-wing bloggers feel somewhat betrayed that Campolo has challenged orthodox Darwinism in a recent column published in Britain, which also appeared last year in the Philadelphia Inquirer. "Darwin's writings, when actually read, express the prevalent racism of the nineteenth century, and endorse an extreme laissez faire political ideology that legitimates the neglect of the suffering poor by the ruling elite," Campolo opined.

Scientists Declare that Up is Down; Journalists Believe It CNN sports the headline today, "Obama moves to separate politics, science." How did he supposedly do this? By removing Bush's limits on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. On what planet is increased funding for scientific research an increased separation of politics and science?
The facts show Obama did the exact opposite of the headline: he further and more deeply entwined politics and science. The more something is funded, the more politics controls it.
The only way to separate politics and science is to get government out of science. I'd support that. (Of course, this is only a necessary, not sufficient, condition for a seperation of science and state.)

Vatican purposely excludes the obviously schizoid proponents of Intelligent Design:
Last week's highly publicized Vatican-sponsored conference, "Biological Evolution: Facts and Theories," organized to correspond with the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin, "shut out" discussion of Intelligent Design theory and biblical creationism, a prominent US research group has alleged.Okeedokee then!
The President of the Discovery Institute (DI), Bruce Chapman, denounced the conference on the Institute's official blog as a "parade of atheists, agnostics and theistic evolutionists whose common theme is that intelligent design is not science, not theology, nothing at all, really--merely a reactionary sociological phenomenon."
Organizers of the conference admitted to the Associated Press last week that they did indeed purposely exclude proponents of Intelligent Design.

In his resignation letter, Beckstrom said that the "NSA currently dominates most national cybersecurity efforts" and that "the threats to our democratic processes are significant if all top level network security and monitoring is handled by any one organization."Goldman, Banks May Split $146 Million on Merck-Schering Deal
