Russia's journalists, tracked down one of Russia's enigmatic businessmen who helped Dmitry Firtash to part with his Hungarian gas trader Emfesz. is a former KGB officer, businessman Sergey Prokop. In partner with Prokopieva just two of Putin - Igor and Oleg. Writes about this thing. In late April, the Ukrainian partner of Gazprom, Dmitry Firtash (controls half of Rosukrenergo, RUE) has lost a valuable asset - the Hungarian trader Emfesz: CEO of the company took advantage of Istvan Gozzi issued to him a few years ago, power of attorney at its sale, and Emfesz for $ 1 went to the Swiss RosGas AG.

In June, Gozzi said he sold Emfesz Russia's businessmen. Call them names Gozzi declined, but the manager of the company, part of Group DF Firtash, said that one of these entrepreneurs called Sergei Prokopieva. Rossiyskaya Gazeta found Prokopieva.

Owners of the Swiss RosGas he does not disclose, but said that he knew Gozzi since that time, when he worked in Sibur.

According Prokopieva, he made a deal not for himself, but received orders from above and performed a civic duty: it was necessary to save the Hungarian market for Russia and for Gazprom - money.

Utkin said Respublika was unable to pay the money and would challenge the ruling.

OHHH THE IRONY!
Kazakhstan’s Movement Towards Greater Democracy is Unequivocal and Unambiguous

Kazakhstan is ready for further development of legislative framework and consistent alignment according to international standards of human rights. Promotion and protection of human rights can’t be implemented without taking into account international experience and that fact has determined Kazakhstan’s decision to accede to relevant UN covenants and treaties on human rights including International Covenants on Civil and Political Rights and also on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.

Active work is going on in this direction: the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan is working on possible ratification of the Covenant on the Rights of the Persons with Disabilities, the first international treaty in the sphere of human rights of the XXI century. According to the Secretary of State - Minister of Foreign Affairs, “there are necessary prerequisites for their further improvement at the present stage of political development in Kazakhstan. For our country, developing as a secular, democratic and legal state, this statement is not a simple tribute to legal traditions. It is a firm tenet and absolute condition for further progress of the country.

Uranium soars on takeover speculation

The Coming Wave of Resource Nationalizations

Let's define what we mean by "Nationalization". We agree with Wikipedia's definition, but for the purpose of this discussion we'd like to broaden it just a bit. In this context, by "nationalization", we mean not only outright expropriation of private property but all other forms of "creeping" or indirect nationalization which ultimately leads to increased control of natural resources by governments at the expense of current stakeholders in a non-free market way.

These may include any flavor or combination of increased taxation, excessive/retroactive taxation, breach of contracts, delay or revocation of permits and licenses required to exercise legal owner's rights, support or tolerance of other groups/interests' illegal activities to the detriment of property owners, and so on. For instance, two of the more popular tactics used to push this agenda today are allegations of environmental irresponsibility and unpaid back taxes.

Certainly, natural resource exploitation or, by another name, extractive businesses can be messy, and its participants are far from perfect. Especially from the point of view of paper-pushing bureaucrats, who have long lost the concept of "If it can't be grown, it has to be mined".

Actor Charlie Sheen has bought into conspiracy theories being spread around by controversial paleoconservative talk show host Alex Jones. According to the Los Angeles Times today, Sheen is “demanding” that the U.S. government comes clean in showing the world that 9/11 was an “inside job.” Charlie Sheen is the latest actor in Alex Jones’ arsenal of famous people who are propagating “New World Order” ideology. Jones aligns himself with the politics of Pat Buchanan, but his theories go beyond right wing conservatism.

Rape Declines, Duke Responds

If the Duke feminists were truly concerned about rape – as opposed to gender politics – they would begin to police members of their own administration. Over the summer, administrator Frank Lombard (white but, fortunately for him, gay) was arrested after sexually assaulting his adopted black child on a webcam and then broadcasting it to another pedophile on the internet. He also offered his child to be raped by a stranger he met on the internet.

I’m supposed to note that Duke administrator Frank Lombard is only an “alleged” rapist who enjoys the benefit of the presumption of innocence. But administrators at Duke don’t believe in the presumption of innocence so we’ll just call him a rapist instead.

Regardless, feminists at Duke are unlikely to read anything about Frank Lombard. He gets a pass because he’s gay. And his victim wasn’t a woman. And talking about his case won’t help increase funding for the Duke Women’s Center. The new policies at Duke University show just how manipulative and cunning campus feminists can be. But they don’t prove these characteristics are directly correlated with IQ or, for that matter, any interest in pursuing the truth. The evidence, if anything, leads to the opposite conclusion.

World Socialist Web Site's take: Obama addresses public school students

As it has repeatedly done—most recently in the firing of “green jobs czar” Van Jones—the White House responded to its reactionary critics by seeking to appease the Republican right. The administration released the text of the president’s speech on the Labor Day holiday so it could be reviewed beforehand and dropped its request that school officials accompany the speech with a class project, in which students write letters on how they could “help the president.”

Regardless of the efforts to push him further to the right, Obama had no intention of using the occasion to provide any insight into the conditions young people are facing, let alone encourage any questioning of the status quo. On the contrary, as is his wont, the Democratic president went out of his way to conceal the social realities in America and to suggest that the problems facing students are essentially of their own making.

I am not sure if that is correct but I wouldn’t mind betting it is pretty close to the truth. The fact is the sophisticated touch screens, long life batteries (considering the size) and huge range of capabilities in a modern phone requires some very clever electronics and hence the properties of some comparatively rare metals such as niobium, tantalum and others.

New, Increased Forecasts for Global Nuclear Reactors

Since 2007, UxC has presented its unique nuclear power forecasts in the NPO, using detailed research and analysis to generate bottom-up, country-by-country reactor estimates. As a result of UxC's recent efforts to comprehensively analyze nuclear power prospects in China, India and Russia, our new global forecasts indicate dramatic growth in the use of nuclear power in these and other parts of the world over the coming two decades. Specifically, our Base case 2009 Q3 NPO forecasts show:

-- 435 reactors totaling 370 gigawatts-electric (GWe) operating in 31 countries today

-- 55 reactors currently under construction in 12 countries

-- By 2015: 492 reactors totaling 428 GWe in 31 countries

-- By 2020: 568 reactors totaling 517 GWe in 42 countries

-- By 2030: 697 reactors totaling 702 GWe in 52 countries

US needs own supply of medical isotopes - experts
The glow ball needs more uranium! Dig you dogs, dig!

Lantheus got most of its medical isotopes from the Canadian reactor, which made a third of the world's medical isotope supply. It is one of six aging reactors worldwide -- none located in the United States -- to produce molybdenum-99 or Mo-99, the most commonly used medical isotope. The rapidly decaying substance has a shelf life of just 67 hours, making it impossible to stockpile. Technetium-99m, a radioactive byproduct of Mo-99, is used in over 14 million nuclear medicine procedures in the United States each year. Although Lantheus has established supply deals to get isotopes from reactors in other countries, Duffy said the company is still "not fully able to meet our weekly demand."
