Al Qaeda Feared to Have "Dirty Bombs" - Josh Meyer (Los Angeles Times)
After years of experiments, al Qaeda is capable of constructing "dirty bombs" - radioactive materials wrapped around conventional explosives - that can cause contamination over a widespread area.
Recent intelligence - gleaned from al Qaeda redoubts in Afghanistan, intercepted communications, interrogations, and other sources - indicates that the terrorist network apparently has succeeded, U.S. and coalition officials said.
Last week, British intelligence agencies released documents seized in Afghanistan showing that al Qaeda had constructed a small dirty bomb at a laboratory in the Afghan city of Herat, using radioactive isotopes taken from medical equipment supplied by the former Taliban regime.
U.S. officials who had previously said they had no evidence to substantiate that al Qaeda had built such a bomb said they now believe that it has done so, and that it could be planning to use one in the coming months.
Islamic Jihad Terrorists Admit to Receiving Funds and Orders from Syrian HQ (IDF)
In December and January, the Israel Security Agency (ISA), in coordination with the IDF, arrested a number of Islamic Jihad terrorists from the Hebron area who have admitted involvement in a wide range of paramilitary activity which was directed by the Islamic Jihad leadership in Hebron and Syria.
The apprehended Islamic Jihad terrorists were responsible for the attacks near Worshippers Road in Hebron where 12 Israeli civilians and soldiers were killed on Nov. 15, and in the Israeli community of Otniel on Dec. 27, in which two Israeli civilians and two IDF soldiers were murdered.
During questioning, Israeli security forces discovered that the Islamic Jihad had purchased a variety of chemical materials with which to make explosives and had begun to manufacture mortars.
The terrorists admitted that Hebron's Islamic Jihad received a significant amount of money from Islamic Jihad headquarters in Syria to purchase weapons and bomb-making materials.
In addition, the Syrian headquarters issued numerous commands to escalate the level of violence by engaging in a stepped-up bombing campaign.

Bush and Sharon Nearly Identical on Mideast Policy - Robert G. Kaiser
For the first time, a U.S. administration and a Likud government in Israel are pursuing nearly identical policies. Thomas Neumann, executive director of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs, noted that Israel and the U.S. share a common view on terrorism, peace with the Palestinians, war with Iraq, and more - a change made possible by the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and their aftermath. The turning point came last June, when Bush embraced Sharon's view of the Palestinians and made Yasser Arafat's removal as leader of the Palestinian Authority a condition of future diplomacy.
For now the Israeli-Palestinian issue is stalled. No movement is expected before the resolution of the Iraq issue. State Department officials confided privately that they feel sidelined, and that the debate inside the administration has ended, at least temporarily. (Washington Post)
U.S. Raises Level of National Threat Alert
The Bush administration raised the national threat alert from "yellow" to "orange" Friday after receiving new intelligence reports that pointed to the possibility of multiple imminent attacks by al Qaeda against Jewish groups and Jewish-owned businesses inside the U.S. FBI officials began contacting Jewish leaders and rabbis around the country Friday to warn them to be especially vigilant and to enhance security at Sabbath services and other events over the weekend. State and local police were also being asked to provide extra patrols for Jewish religious services and other gatherings. Officials said the new intelligence warned about the possibility of attacks on synagogues, Jewish community centers, Jewish hospitals, youth groups, hotels, and resorts. (Newsweek)
Work Can Begin on Turkish Bases
U.S. and Turkish officials signed an agreement Saturday on U.S. renovations at several military bases in southern and southeastern Turkey that could be used in a war against Iraq - and at three airports in other parts of the country. (Washington Post)
See also Belgium to Block NATO Military Aid for Turkey
The Belgian government said Sunday that it would veto a U.S. request that NATO provide military materiel for Turkey to defend itself in the event of a conflict with neighboring Iraq. The announcement exposed raw divisions across the Atlantic and within Europe on the buildup for war and plunged the alliance into a new crisis. (Washington Post)

PA Readying to Retake Control Over Some West Bank Cities - Arnon Regular
In a meeting Monday between the prime minister's bureau chief Dov Weisglass and PA Interior Minister Hani al-Hassan, the Palestinians will present a plan for reassuming responsibility over cities in the West Bank and redeploying Palestinian security forces in these towns. The PA will initially try to gain jurisdiction over Ramallah, followed by the cities along the seam line with Israel: Tulkarm, Kalkilya, and Jenin. (Ha'aretz)
The talks are a follow-up to talks Sharon held Wednesday with Palestinian Legislative Council Speaker Ahmed Qurei. (Jerusalem Post)
Fury After Bomb Found in Taiba Mosque - Daniel Ben-Tal
An unexploded explosives belt was removed from the bathroom of the Khaled Ibn al-Walid Mosque in the Israeli Arab town of Taiba early Friday morning. "Since Friday, we check everybody who enters the mosque," said Muhammad Masarwah, 57. "Nobody is taking risks any more. You cannot always tell who is a terrorist and who isn't." "I just thank God that it did not explode," said Ziyad Azam, 43. "Hundreds may have died. If such a disaster had taken place, we would go into the territories ourselves to do what has to be done if the government let us," he said. (Jerusalem Post)
Car Bomb in Gaza Wounds Four Soldiers - Amos Harel
A soldier on duty at the Gush Katif intersection spotted the car and fired a warning shot as it turned toward the IDF outpost. The men in the car immediately returned fire. The soldiers at the outpost laced the car with bullets and the car, carrying 150 kilograms of explosives as well as some mortars, blew up on the dirt road outside the outpost, killing three Islamic Jihad members. The four soldiers, suffering from light shrapnel wounds and shock, were released from hospital by nightfall. The army praised the quick thinking of the soldiers, saying they prevented a major disaster. (Ha'aretz)
IDF Arrests 3 Suicide Bombers in West Bank
The IDF arrested three suicide bombers in the West Bank early Monday morning, one of whom, a Hamas member from the Ramallah area, had a suitcase containing a 20 kilogram bomb that was ready to be detonated. (Ha'aretz)
Palestine, Iraq, and American Strategy - Michael Scott Doran
Even if the United States were somehow able to broker a stable Palestinian-Israeli settlement that met many Arab aspirations, this would not necessarily generate a great deal of goodwill. Those who argue the opposite see Palestine as the primary obstacle blocking an American-Arab rapprochement. They claim, correctly, that Arab political discourse revolves around Palestine and that a great many Arabs hold the U.S. responsible for Palestinian suffering. But what they overlook is that although Palestine is central to the symbolism of Arab politics, it is actually marginal to its substance.
There are many reasons why Washington should distance itself from misguided Israeli policies such as the building of settlements in the occupied territories, but among them should not be the hope that such a move would greatly affect the broader sources of resentment and despair that Palestine-as-symbol encompasses. If coupled with a stand-down on Iraq, moreover, dramatic pressure on Israel now might even inflame matters further, by calling into question American willingness to support its friends and oppose its enemies in the region. (Foreign Affairs)
PA On Hold - Khaled Abu Toameh
Intelligence reports emanating from Ramallah have suggested that some Palestinian officials, including Arafat confidants, are eager to see the man, who has been their leader and symbol for three decades, disappear, a process that began immediately after Operation Defensive Shield in April 2002. Yet Arafat remains today as relevant as ever and no serious challenger has emerged. In the words of one Palestinian official, Arafat's powerful presence will be felt as long as the man breathes.
Ironically, one of the "positive" outcomes of Operation Defensive Shield is the fact that Palestinians in the West Bank today enjoy a greater degree of freedom of speech now that the Palestinian security forces have been dealt a severe blow. In recent months, speakers at a series of seminars in Ramallah, Nablus, and Jenin have openly attacked the Palestinian leadership for mismanagement and corruption. For the first time, columnists have begun criticizing the security forces for violating human rights and interfering in civilian affairs. Moreover, ordinary Palestinians interviewed on the streets are no longer afraid to speak out. (Jerusalem Post)
Talking Points:
Defense Minister Mofaz: IDF Pressure to Accompany Talks on Withdrawal
- Herb Keinon (Jerusalem Post)
Even as Israelis and Palestinians were again discussing a gradual withdrawal of IDF units from areas where the Palestinian Authority asserts security control, Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz told the weekly cabinet meeting Sunday Israel will continue applying heavy military pressure in Hebron, Samaria, and the northern Gaza Strip to thwart terrorist attacks.
Mofaz said Hamas and certain elements within Fatah are continuing unabated their efforts to carry out suicide attacks, and for the most part are being thwarted by the IDF's widespread operations in the territories.
The defense minister noted that while the Cairo talks among the various Palestinian factions reached a dead end without an agreement on a cease-fire with Israel, the very fact the talks took place at all shows "the Palestinians are questioning the effectiveness of terrorism."
At the same time, Maj.-Gen. Amos Gilad, coordinator of government activities in the territories, told the cabinet that Arafat recently shelved a plan to set up a special police force to fight crime in Jenin, preventing the return of a semblance of normality to Palestinian society.
Gilad briefed the cabinet on the humanitarian situation in the territories, and detailed measures Israel has taken to ease conditions ahead of the upcoming Id al-Adha festival.

Placa de fósforo fotoestimulable  (PSP:  photostimulable phosphor plate ), también conocida como  placa de imagen  (IP:  Imaging Plate ) o  placa radioluminiscent , es una placa metaestable ampliamente utilizada en el campo de la Radiología/Radiografía digitales, con una tecnología que recibe el nombre de radiografía computarizada (CR), en directa competencia con la (DR) que emplea el panel detector plano digital ( Flat Panel detector ).
El fenómeno utilizado en este tipo de tecnología también se conoce como  luminiscencia fotoestimulable  ( PSL ).

Esta tecnología permite el almacenamiento de una señal radiactiva débil en una placa de fósforo que toma el lugar del casete de película fotográfica utilizado en una radiografía clásica. Normalmente se puede utilizar para grabar una imagen bidimensional de una radiación de corta longitud de onda (en general, una radiación de rayos X).

A diferencia de una placa fotográfica, una placa del tipo PSP puede ser reutilizada muchas veces: Las placas pueden ser "borradas", mediante la exposición de la placa a una luz blanca de intensidad ambiental.

Explicación del proceso
Para la generación de una imagen hay que exponer placa metaestable dos veces: la primera exposición, "graba" la imagen con la radiación de la muestra, y entonces, una segunda exposición (en general hecha mediante un láser de longitud de onda visible) "lee" la imagen.

Exposición inicial
Con la exposición inicial, los electrones excitados de la capa de fósforo quedan "atrapados" en "centros de color" dentro del enrejado cristalino hasta que son estimulados por la segunda iluminación. Por ejemplo, la capa de fósforo fotoestimulable de Fujifilm está depositada sobre un soporte de película de poliéster flexible con un tamaño de grano de alrededor de 5 Micrómetro (unidad de longitud)s, y tiene una composición definida mayormente como "fluorobromuro de bario, aunque contiene una pequeña cantidad de europio bivalente como centro de luminiscencia ".

El europio es un catión divalente que reemplaza el bario para crear una solución sólida. Cuando los iones de Eu  2+ son golpeados por la radiación ionizante, pierden un electrón adicional para convertirse en iones de Eu 3+ . Estos electrones penetran en la banda de conducción del cristal y quedan atrapadas dentro de la red vacía de los iones de bromo de los cristales de fluorobromuro de bario.

Segunda exposición
Este estado metaestable es más alto en energía que el estado original, por lo que una fuente de luz de frecuencia más baja, al incidir sobre los electrones atrapados en la banda de conducción, a pesar de tener una energía insuficiente para crear más iones Eu 3+ , los hace volver a su estado primitivo.

A medida que estos electrones movilizados encuentran iones Eu  3+, liberan una luminiscencia azul-violeta de 400 nm. Esta luz se produce en una cantidad proporcional al número de electrones atrapados inicialmente, y por tanto, proporcional a la señal de rayos X original, siendo captada por un escáner especial (normalmente mediante un tubo fotomultiplicador), que convierte la señal resultante en una imagen digital.

Historia
La empresa japonesa Fujifilm fue la pionera en el uso comercial de las  placas de fósforo fotoestimulable , al lanzar al mercado en 1980 el  Phosphorimager , nombre con que se pasó a conocer el dispositivo empleado para leer la  placa de fósforo fotoestimulable  (a veces abreviado como  PhosphoImager ), con su aplicación más común en la biología molecular para detectar radiomarcadores en proteínas y ácidos nucleicos fosforilados.

Utilización

Medical X-ray Imaging
Hoy en día en los hospitals modernos, las placas con tecnología PSP utiliza para imágenes de rayos X en lugar de la placa fotográfica clásica, en un proceso llamado radiografía computarizada debido a que las  placas de fósforo fotoestimulable  pueden ser utilizadas muchas veces, inmediatamente una tras otra.

Estudios de difracción de los rayos X
Las  placas de fósforo fotoestimulable  se han utilizado en numerosos estudios de cristalografía.

One of the things I love most about May—indeed about spring—is how it is a month of firsts. Item (to borrow from Shakespeare): First hermit thrush singing its pan-pipe song. Item: First hummingbird whizzing past the shrubs in front of the house. Item: First Iris bloom in its rich purple glory.
After the first sighting of the hummingbird, I figured it was high time to get out the hummingbird feeders—the one on the right I bought new this year. In a pan I mix one part sugar to four parts water and let it boil then cool before filling the feeders. So far there haven't been any visitors, but soon there will be.
Yesterday temple dog, aka Mei Ling, came out for the first time to guard the garden. She takes her job very seriously, and this year we added a little solar light to help her with her work. Her turtle friend Terrance also keeps watch.
Today, more garden ornaments will be coming out, and I will continue my task of sprinkling ash and organic fertilizer on the beds. Next comes the compost, which we get at our transfer station, and this adds a rich cover to the dirt.
There will be more firsts. We haven't heard the first loon call or seen the first fireflies or heard the first thrum of June beetles against the screens in the windows. No dragonflies yet. Or butterflies.
But soon these things, along with other new blooms, will be coming. And I'll be waiting with camera, pencil, and notebook.
Yes – the joy of those first sightings that tell us Spring has come! Those purple Irises are beautiful!
Thanks, Carina! They are one of my favorites.
Just why I love May – everything fresh, new and exciting. If you blink, you might miss something!
Eliza, you are so right. Despite the blackflies, May is my favorite month.
The joy of mid-spring! I enjoyed this post. The gorgeous Iris, the Hummingbird Feeder. And your garden friends too.
Thanks, Cynthia, for the kind words.
I have Iris envy. Ours haven't even budded up. On the other hand, the hummingbirds seem to be hanging out in our neighborhood. They showed up last week–unexpectedly. During an early morning watering of my hanging baskets, I was buzzed by a shiny little male. So, I put out the feeders. Within a few hours, he was at them. A second fellow came soon after and they were so pitiful during the cold snap on Sunday/Monday. They huddled on the branches near the feeder and took turns feeding. Now that it's warmer they're becoming a little combative. Aaahh. All the delightful firsts of spring.
Soon you will have Irises. My little purple ones are an early variety. Nice to hear the hummingbirds have made an appearance at your house. We had a visitor, too, and at the new feeder. Yippee!
I love all the firsts of spring. I'm jealous of your hummingbird sighting, we haven't seen them here yet.
Jason, I'm sure those hummingbirds will be there soon.
How wonderful that you can get compost at your transfer station. I wish all would do that.
Yes, very environmental and also very reasonably priced. I couldn't get the compost cheaper anywhere else. Win, win!

La physique au-delà du modèle standard se rapporte aux développements théoriques de la physique des particules nécessaires pour expliquer les défaillances du modèle standard, telles que l'origine de la masse, le problème de la violation CP de l'interaction forte, les oscillations des neutrinos, l'asymétrie matière-antimatière, et la nature de la matière noire et de l'énergie noire. Un autre problème réside dans le cadre mathématique du modèle standard lui-même : son incompatibilité avec celui de la relativité générale, au point que l'une ou l'autre ou les deux théories deviennent inopérantes face à certaines conditions, par exemple les singularités gravitationnelles connues de l'espace-temps comme le Big Bang ou l'horizon des événements des trous noirs.

Les théories au-delà du modèle standard comprennent de nombreuses extensions du modèle standard jusqu'à la supersymétrie, telles que le modèle standard supersymétrique minimal (en abrégé MSSM pour Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model) et le Modèle standard supersymétrique quasi-minimal (NMSSM pour Next to Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model), ou des explications entièrement nouvelles telles que la théorie des cordes, la théorie M et les dimensions supplémentaires. Comme ces théories s'efforcent de reproduire l'intégralité de phénomènes ordinaires, l'identification de celle qui est correcte, ou au moins celle qui constitue la « meilleure avancée » vers la théorie du tout, peut seulement être réglée expérimentalement et constitue l'un des champs de recherche les plus actifs tant en physique théorique qu'en physique expérimentale.

Problèmes du modèle standard

Bien qu'il constitue la théorie physique la plus réussie à ce jour, le modèle standard n'est pas parfait. Une grande partie des résultats publiés par les physiciens théoriciens consiste à proposer différentes formes d'une nouvelle physique « au-delà du modèle standard », qui modifieraient le modèle standard de façon suffisamment subtile pour qu'il reste compatible avec les données existantes, tout en y apportant des rectifications suffisamment substantielles pour prédire les résultats selon le « modèle non standard » de nouvelles expériences qui seraient proposées.

Phénomènes non expliqués
De façon inhérente, le modèle standard est incomplet. Il existe dans la nature des phénomènes physiques qu'il ne peut expliquer convenablement.
 la gravité : le modèle standard n'explique pas la gravité. L'approche naïve d'un simple ajout d'un « graviton » au modèle standard ne récrée pas ce qui est observé expérimentalement sans nécessiter aussitôt d'autres modifications encore non découvertes au modèle standard. De plus, le modèle standard est largement considéré comme incompatible avec la théorie de la gravitation la plus précise à ce jour, la relativité générale.
 La matière noire et l'énergie sombre : les observations cosmologiques nous indiquent que le modèle standard n'explique qu'à peu près 4 % de l'énergie présente dans l'Univers. Des 96 % manquants, 27 % serait de la matière noire, qui se comporte exactement comme l'autre matière, mais n'interagit avec les champs du modèle standard qu'au moyen de l'interaction faible. Pourtant, le modèle standard ne présente aucune particule fondamentale comme bonne candidate pour la matière noire. Le reste des 96 % serait de l'énergie sombre, une densité d'énergie constante pour le vide. Les tentatives d'explication de l'énergie sombre en termes d'énergie du vide du modèle standard conduisent à une différence de 120 ordres de grandeurs.
 La masse des neutrinos : selon le modèle standard, les neutrinos sont des particules sans masse. Cependant, des expériences sur l'oscillation des neutrinos ont montré qu'ils en ont effectivement une. La masse des neutrinos peut être rajoutée « à la main » au modèle standard, mais ceci conduit à de nouveaux problèmes théoriques. Par exemple, les termes de masse doivent nécessairement être extraordinairement petits, et la question n'a pas été clarifiée de savoir si la masse des neutrinos leur vient comme elle vient aux autres particules fondamentales du modèle standard.
 L'asymétrie matière-antimatière : l'Univers est principalement constitué de matière. Cependant, le modèle standard prédit que la matière et l'antimatière ont dû être créées en quantités (presque) égales puisque les conditions initiales de l'Univers ne supposaient pas de disproportion entre l'une et l'autre. Pourtant aucun mécanisme n'apparaît suffisant dans le modèle standard pour expliquer cette asymétrie.

Résultats expérimentaux non expliqués
En physique des particules, c'est le niveau de 5 sigma (c'est-à-dire 5 déviations-standard) qui est le niveau largement admis pour qualifier le seuil d'une découverte scientifique. Or, de tous les résultats expérimentaux largement acceptés comme contradictoires au modèle standard, aucun n'est largement accepté comme le contredisant à ce niveau-là. Mais chaque expérience contient à quelques degrés des incertitudes statistiques ou systémiques. De plus, les prédictions théoriques ne sont pratiquement jamais calculées avec exactitude. Par surcroît, elles sont sujettes à des incertitudes dans la mesure des constantes fondamentales du modèle standard, certaines ténues, d'autres substantielles. On s'attend donc mathématiquement à ce que les résultats de quelques-unes des centaines d'expériences du modèle standard dérivent quelque peu de celui-ci, même sans découverte d'une « nouvelle physique ».
À tout moment, il existe de nombreux résultats expérimentaux significativement différents des attentes du modèle standard, bien qu'on ait trouvé lors de la collecte de données supplémentaires que nombre d'entre eux étaient des hasards statistiques extraordinaires ou des erreurs expérimentales. D'un autre côté, toute physique « au-delà du modèle standard » devrait nécessairement se manifester expérimentalement en premier lieu par une différence statistique significative entre les résultats de l'expérience et ceux prédits théoriquement par le modèle standard.

Dans chaque cas, les physiciens cherchent à déterminer si un résultat constitue une simple coïncidence ou une erreur, d'un côté, ou bien, de l'autre, un signe d'une nouvelle physique. Des résultats statistiques supplémentaires concordants ne peuvent plus relever de la coïncidence, mais peuvent toujours résulter d'erreurs expérimentales ou d'une estimation imprécise de la précision expérimentale. Fréquemment, les expériences s'élaborent en vue d'une meilleure sensibilité aux résultats expérimentaux permettant de distinguer le modèle standard d'une alternative théorique.

Parmi les exemples les plus notoires se trouvent les suivants :
 lhydrogène muonique : le modèle standard présente des prédictions théoriques précises sur la taille du rayon atomique de l'hydrogène ordinaire, un système proton-électron et celui de l'hydrogène muonique, un système proton-muon, dans lequel le muon est un variant « lourd » de l'électron. Mais la mesure effective diffère sensiblement de la prédiction en utilisant les constantes physiques existantes, d'un ordre de 7 déviations-standard. Des doutes sur la précision de l'estimation de l'erreur dans les expériences antérieures, toujours située dans les 4 % mutuels dans la mesure d'une distance très ténue, et l'absence d'une théorie bien motivée pouvant expliquer les divergences, ont rendu les physiciens hésitants quant à décrire ces résultats comme des contradictions au modèle standard, malgré l'apparence statistiquement significative du résultat et l'absence de toute possibilité clairement identifiée de source d'erreur expérimentale.

 BaBar : des résultats d'une expérience BaBar pourraient suggérer par rapport aux prédictions du modèle standard un surplus d'un type de désintégrations de particules appelées . Dans celle-ci, un électron et un positron entrent en collision, il en résulte un méson B et un méson d'antimatière B-barre, qui se désintègrent ensuite en un méson D et un lepton tau ainsi qu'un neutrino plus léger. Alors que le niveau de certitude de l'excès (3,4 sigma) n'est pas suffisant pour prétendre à une percée au-delà du modèle standard, ces résultats signalent potentiellement une anomalie et sont susceptibles d'avoir des conséquences sur les théories existantes, y compris celles qui tentent de déduire les propriétés du boson de Higgs.

Prédictions théoriques non observées
Toutes les particules fondamentales prédites par le modèle standard ont été observées dans les accélérateurs de particules. Le boson de Higgs résulte du mécanisme de Higgs tel que l'explique le modèle standard, qui décrit comment est brisée la jauge de symétrie SU(2) et comment les particules fondamentales acquièrent de la masse. Il demeure (en date de 2014) la dernière particule prédite par le modèle standard à avoir été observée. Le , les scientifiques du CERN du grand collisionneur de hadrons (, LHC) ont annoncé la découverte d'une particule compatible avec le boson de Higgs, de masse approximative . L'existence d'un boson de Higgs a été confirmée le , alors même que l'on recherche encore la confirmation qu'il dispose de toutes les propriétés prévues par le modèle standard.

Certains hadrons, des particules composées de quarks, dont l'existence est prédite par le modèle standard, qui ne peuvent être produites qu'à de très hautes énergies, à très basses fréquences n'ont pas encore été définitivement observées, et les «boules de gluons », des particules composées de gluons, n'ont pas encore été définitivement observées non plus. Certaines désintégrations de particules à basse fréquence prédites par le modèle standard n'ont pas encore été définitivement observées non plus, les données permettant d'effectuer une observation statistique significative n'étant pas disponibles.

Problèmes théoriques

Certaines caractéristiques du modèle standard sont ajoutées de façon ad hoc. Elles ne constituent pas un problème en soi, c'est-à-dire que la théorie fonctionne convenablement avec ces caractéristiques ad hoc, mais elles suggèrent un défaut de compréhension. Ces caractéristiques ad hoc ont amené les théoriciens à explorer des voies nouvelles vers des théories plus fondamentales reposant sur un nombre inférieur de paramètres. Certaines des caractéristiques ad hoc sont :
 Le problème de la hiérarchie. Le modèle standard introduit la masse des particules au travers d'un processus connu sous le nom de brisure spontanée de symétrie. Il résulte du champ de Higgs. À l'intérieur du modèle standard, la masse du Higgs admet certaines corrections quantiques très importantes du fait de la présence de particules virtuelles, principalement des quarks top virtuels. Ces corrections sont beaucoup plus grandes que la masse réelle du Higgs. Ceci signifie que le paramètre de  du Higgs dans le Modèle standard doit être finement ajusté de façon à annuler presque complètement les corrections quantiques. Ce niveau d'ajustement est estimé par de nombreux théoriciens comme non naturel.
 Le problème de la violation CP de l'interaction forte. On peut théoriquement soutenir que le modèle standard devrait contenir un terme qui brise la symétrie CP, celle qui relie la matière à l'antimatière dans le secteur de l'interaction faible. Cependant, aucune observation de ce genre de violation n'a eu lieu lors d'une expérience, ce qui suggère que le coefficient de ce terme est extrêmement proche de zéro. Cet ajustement fin est également considéré comme non naturel.
 Le nombre de paramètres. Le modèle standard dépend de 19 paramètres numériques. Leur valeur est connue expérimentalement, mais l'origine de ces valeurs est inconnue. Certains théoriciens ont essayé d'établir des relations entre différents paramètres, par exemple entre les masses des particules de différentes générations.

Théories de la grande unification

Le modèle standard a trois jauges de symétries : la symétrie de couleur SU(3), d'isospin faible SU(2), et d'hypercharge U(1), correspondant aux trois forces fondamentales. Du fait de la renormalisation, les constantes de couplage de chacune de ces symétries varient avec l'énergie auxquelles elles sont mesurées. Aux alentours de , ces couplages s'égalisent approximativement. Ce qui a conduit à spéculer sur le fait qu'au-dessus de ces énergies, les trois jauges de symétrie du modèle standard sont unifiées en une seule jauge de symétrie avec un groupe de jauge simple et une seule constante de couplage. En dessous de ces énergies, la symétrie, est spontanément brisée par rapport à celles du modèle standard. C'est le groupe unitaire spécial à cinq dimensions SU(5) et le groupe spécial orthogonal à dix dimensions SO(10) qui sont les plus populaires pour les choix de ces groupes d'unification.

Les théories qui unifient les symétries du modèle standard de cette façon s'appellent les théories de la grande unification (ou GUT pour Grand Unified Theories, en anglais), et l'échelle d'énergie auxquelles la symétrie unifiée est brisée est appelée l'échelle GUT. Génériquement, les théories de la Grande unification prévoient la création de monopôles magnétiques lors de l'Univers primorial et l'instabilité du proton. Aucune des deux n'a été observée à ce jour, et cette absence introduit des limites aux GUT possibles.

Supersymétrie

La supersymétrie élargit le modèle standard en ajoutant des classes de symétries supplémentaires au lagrangien. Ces symétries échangent des particules fermioniques et bosoniques. Ce genre de symétrie prédit l'existence de particules supersymétriques, les sparticules, comprenant les sleptons, les squarks, les neutralinos et les charginos. Chaque particule du Modèle standard est supposée avoir un superpartenaire dont le spin diffère d'1/2 de celui de la particule ordinaire. Du fait de la brisure de supersymétrie, les sparticules sont beaucoup plus lourdes que leurs contreparties ordinaires. Elles sont si lourdes que les accélérateurs de particules existants ne disposent pas d'une puissance suffisante pour les produire.

Neutrinos
Dans le modèle standard, les neutrinos ont une masse exactement nulle. Ceci résulte du modèle standard ne contenant que des neutrinos d'hélicité gauche. Sans partenaire convenable avec une hélicité droite, il est impossible d'ajouter un terme de masse renormalisable au modèle standard. Les mesures ont cependant indiqué des changements de saveurs des neutrinos, ce qui implique qu'ils ont une masse. Ces mesures ne donnent que la masse relative des différentes saveurs. La meilleure contrainte sur la masse absolue des neutrinos provient de mesures de précision de la désintégration du tritium, qui fixe une limite supérieure à , soit plus légers d'au moins cinq ordres de magnitudes que les autres particules du modèle standard. Ceci rend nécessaire une extension du modèle standard, qui non seulement souffre d'une absence d'explication de la façon dont les neutrinos acquièrent une masse, mais également pourquoi celle-ci est si faible.

Une façon d'ajouter de la masse aux neutrinos, appelée Mécanisme de see-saw, consiste à ajouter des neutrinos dextrogyres, et les coupler avec des neutrinos lévogyres à l'aide d'un terme de masse de Dirac. Les neutrinos dextrogyres doivent être stériles, ce qui signifie qu'ils ne participent à aucune des interactions du Modèle standard. N'ayant aucune charge, les neutrinos dextrogyres peuvent constituer leur propre anti-particules, et avoir un terme de masse de Majorana. Comme les autres masses de Dirac dans le modèle standard, on s'attend à ce que la masse de Dirac du neutrino soit générée au moyen du mécanisme de Higgs, et ne peut de ce fait pas être prédite. Les masses de fermions du Modèle standard diffèrent de plusieurs ordres de magnitude ; la masse de Dirac du neutrino présente au minimum la même incertitude. La masse de Majorana pour les neutrinos dextrogyres doit survenir au moyen du modèle standard de Higgs et l'on s'attend de ce fait à ce qu'il soit lié à quelque échelle d'énergie de la nouvelle physique au-delà du modèle standard. Ainsi, tout processus impliquant des neutrinos dextrogyres sera supprimé aux basses énergies. La correction due à ces processus supprimés donne effectivement aux neutrinos lévogyres une masse inversement proportionnelle à la masse de Majorana dextrogyre, mécanisme connu sous le nom de see-saw (balancier). Ainsi, la présence de neutrinos dextrogyres lourds explique aussi bien la faible masse des neutrinos lévogyres que leur propre absence dans les observations. Cependant, du fait de l'incertitude des masses du neutrino de Dirac, les masses du neutrino dextrogyre peuvent se situer n'importe où. Par exemple, ils peuvent être aussi légers que quelques keV et constituer la matière noire, ils peuvent avoir une masse compatible avec le domaine d'énergie du LHC et mener à des violations observables des nombres leptoniques, ou encore se trouver à proximité de l'échelle de la théorie de la grande unification, reliant ainsi le neutrino dextrogyre à la possibilité d'une telle théorie.

Les termes de masse mélangent différentes générations de neutrinos, selon un paramétrage par la matrice PMNS, qui est l'analogue pour le neutrino de la matrice CKM de mélange des quarks. Au contraire du mélange des quarks, presque minimal, le mélange des neutrinos paraît presque maximal. Ceci conduit à de nombreuses spéculations sur les symétries entre les différentes générations qui expliqueraient le mode de mélange. La matrice de mélange peut aussi contenir plusieurs phases complexes qui brisent l'invariance CP, bien qu'il n'en existe aucune preuve expérimentale. Ces phases pourraient potentiellement avoir créé un surplus de leptons par rapport aux anti-leptons dans l'Univers primordial, processus connu sous le nom de leptogénèse. Cette asymétrie peut s'être ultérieurement convertie en un excès des baryons par rapport aux anti-baryons, et expliquer l'asymétrie matière-antimatière observée dans l'Univers.

Les neutrinos légers ne peuvent pas expliquer la matière noire, faute d'une masse suffisante. De plus, les simulations de formations des structures montrent qu'ils sont trop chauds, c'est-à-dire que leur énergie cinétique est grande en comparaison de leur masse, alors que la formation de structures similaires aux galaxies de notre univers requiert de la matière noire froide. Les simulations montrent que les neutrinos peuvent au mieux expliquer un faible pourcentage de la matière noire. Toutefois, les neutrinos stériles dextrogyres sont des candidats possibles pour des WIMPs de matière noire.

Les modèles de préon

Plusieurs modèles de préon ont été proposés pour résoudre le problème persistant des trois générations de quarks et de leptons. Les modèles de préons postulent généralement de nouvelles particules, présentées ensuite comme étant capables de se combiner pour former les quarks et les leptons du modèle standard. Un des premiers modèles de préon fut le modèle de Rishon.

À ce jour, aucun modèle de préon n'a été vérifié et, conséquemment, largement accepté.

Les théories du tout

La théorie du tout

La physique théorique continue ses efforts vers une théorie du tout, qui expliquerait entièrement et lierait ensemble tous les phénomènes physiques connus, et prédirait les résultats de n'importe quelle expérience conduite selon ses principes. En pratique, l'objectif immédiat dans cette perspective vise au développement d'une théorie unissant le modèle standard et la relativité générale en une théorie de la gravité quantique. Des améliorations supplémentaires sont attendues, telles que la résolution de défauts conceptuels de l'une ou l'autre de ces théories préexistantes, ou bien une prédiction précise de la masse des particules. Les défis dans la construction d'une telle théorie ne sont pas que conceptuels, ils comprennent les aspects expérimentaux des très hautes énergies, nécessaires pour explorer ces domaines exotiques. La supersymétrie, la théorie des cordes et la gravitation quantique à boucles comptent parmi les nombreuses tentatives notoires dans cette direction.

La théorie des cordes

Il existe des extensions, révisions, remplacements et réorganisations du modèle standard, comme des essais de corriger ces problèmes et d'autres. La théorie des cordes compte parmi ces réinventions, et de nombreux physiciens théoriciens pensent ces théories comme la prochaine étape vers la théorie du tout. Des théories de gravité quantique comme la gravitation quantique à boucles ou d'autres sont considérées par certains d'entre eux comme des candidats prometteurs à l'unification mathématique de la théorie des champs quantiques et de la relativité générale, exigeant moins de changements drastiques aux théories existantes. Cependant, des travaux récents fixent des limites impérieuses aux effets putatifs de la gravité quantique sur la vitesse de la lumière, et compromettent certains des modèles de gravité quantique.

Parmi les nombreuses variantes de la théorie des cordes, la théorie M, dont l'existence mathématique a été pour la première fois proposée à la Conférence sur les cordes en 1995, est considérée comme une candidate convenable pour la théorie du Tout, notamment par les physiciens Brian Greene et Stephen Hawking. Bien qu'il n'en existe pas encore de description mathématique complète, des solutions à cette théorie existent pour certains cas spécifiques. Des travaux récents ont également proposé des modèles de cordes alternatifs, dont certains ne présentent pas les nombreuses caractéristiques difficiles à expérimenter de la théorie M (par exemple l'existence de variétés de Calabi–Yau, de nombreuses dimensions supplémentaires, etc.), comprenant des travaux par des physiciens aux publications appréciées, telles que Lisa Randall.

Acne is a common skin condition that can affect people of all ages, and both men and women. When we think about acne, we like to believe that it is a condition affecting only teenagers. The myth is that once you are done with your teenage years, you are done with acne as well. Well, wrong. Acne affects 85% of people at some point in their lives.
If you want to try conventional acne treatments, you can. Those include pricey and expensive creams and lotions. And in some cases, these treatments can also have undesirable side effects. For example, an acne cream can cause dryness and irritation of your skin.
Because of that, more and more people are looking into natural remedies for acne. Today, we will discuss some of those that actually work.
Now that we know what is causing, let's talk about what you can do to solve your acne problem.
Made by fermenting apple cider, the vinegar is known as a great antibacterial agent. In the same time, apple cider vinegar can cleanse your skin, and unclog your pores. The vinegar contains organic acids that are very efficient in killing acne-causing bacteria. And the use of ACV can also reduce the appearance of acne scars. In the same time, the vinegar will dry up the excess oil, and control your oil production.
Both honey and cinnamon have anti-inflammation and antibacterial properties. They also help calm irritation and redness of your skin. Both ingredients often find their way into commercial acne and facial masks. So, why not go straight to the source. Instead of using commercial masks which also contain chemicals, use your own raw mask.
In the past few years, hydrogen peroxide for acne has proven to be an effective treatment. But before you use it, talk to your dermatologist. Always dilute hydrogen peroxide to a 3% concentration.
Tea tree oil is the most potent antimicrobial essential oil on the market. Because it is so potent, you have to always dilute it. And you should not put it on your entire face. Tea tree oil can be used as a spot treatment for acne.
High in antioxidants, green tea can help you with almost any skin issue. Drink it on a regular basis, and you will promote good health. When you apply it topically, green tea can reduce and regulate sebum production, fight inflammation, and inhibit the growth of acne-causing bacteria.
Using aloe vera will help you moisturize your skin, which is a key step in preventing and treating acne. In the same time, aloe vera nourishes your skin with vitamins and minerals and fights off bacteria. Aloe vera is one of the most commonly found ingredients in lotions, creams, and ointments for acne and skin problems. And now you can use it straight from the source. Here is how.
Christine is a popular blogger and writer on beauty related tips. She is head editor at Wild about Beauty where she covers a wide variety of topics to help you stay beautiful, healthy, and happy.
More and more people are looking into natural remedies for acne. See a discussion of some of those that actually work.

'Another metal hero taken too soon': Pantera drummer, co-founder Vinnie Paul dead
JD Sen
Published: | 24th June 2018 02:00 PM
Vinnie Paul, Pantera
Los Angeles, June 24: Heavy metal band Pantera's drummer and co-founder Vinnie Paul is dead, the group announced on Facebook.
The Texas-born musician died at age 54 on Friday evening, but no cause of death has been given, reports said.
Paul formed Pantera in 1981 with his brother "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott and went on to earn four Grammy nominations and a No 1 album in the US in 1994.
Pantera disbanded in 2003 following reports of a rift in the group and its singer's intention to leave.
In a statement on Pantera's Facebook page, the group wrote: "Vincent Paul Abbott aka Vinnie Paul has passed away." Paul is best known for his work as the drummer in the bands Pantera and Hellyeah.
"No further details are available at this time. The family requests you to please respect their privacy during this time."
Pantera's platinum-selling album "Vulgar Display of Power" is considered one of the most influential heavy metal albums of the 1990s. It sold over 2 million copies.
Paul and Abbott formed a new band Damageplan in 2004 after Pantera disbanded. But the latter was murdered by a gunman during a concert in Columbus, Ohio, later that year.
Artistes from the music world paid tribute to Paul.
English-American rocker Slash tweeted: "Tragic news about Vinnie Paul. He was one of the warmest people I knew. A truly good and fun friend. We're going to miss you more than you could possibly have known. RIP buddy."
Guns N' Roses bass guitarist Duff McKagan described Paul as a "Friend. Humorist. Badass drummer. All-around good man".
Megadeth lead singer Dave Mustaine wrote: "Another metal hero taken too soon. Say hello to Daryl for me. Rest In Peace, my dear friend."

The Order of the Stick: No Cure for the Paladin Blues
"Leaving the dungeon probably seemed like such a good idea at the time. The Order of the Stick: No Cure for the Paladin Blues continues the comic strip adventures of six stick-figure heroes as they leave the dungeon behind (they blew it up anyway) and explore the great outdoors in more than 200 full-colour comic strips. In this second volume collecting Rich Burlew's smash hit webcomic, comedy and action collide as the unwitting members of the Order of the Stick find themselves caught between the Good Guys and the Bad Guys in what turns out to be kind of a great big universal struggle thing. It's complicated, but there are crayons involved. As you've come to expect, The Order of the Stick delivers strip after strip of hilarious satire of roleplaying games and the fantasy genre in a world of spoiled teenage sorceresses, uptight paladins, and a small white cat named Mr. Scruffy. Your copy of the first book sits alone on the shelf and cries, pinning away for the soulmate it might never know if you don't shell out the cash for this book. Are you so cold and unfeeling as to let its cries fall on deaf ears?" This 2016 paperback book is in very good condition apart from a crease to the bottom corner of the first couple of pages (but not to the front cover) and some dogging to the bottom corner of the back cover and last 20 pages. Otherwise the cover, page block and remaining pages are clean and contain full colour comic strips throughout on glossy paper. The minor issues outlined above are reflected in the price with secondhand copies of the book on AbeBooks and Amazon starting at over £19.

ROTHERHAM MOMENTUM MEETING 7pm TUESDAY 1st DECEMBER
ROTHERHAM MOMENTUM MEETING
7pm TUESDAY 1st DECEMBER
UNITY CENTRE, ST. LEONARDS ROAD. ROTHERHAM
This comment is by Dave Platts in a personal capacity.
The Blairites have a new leader: David Cameron. It is clear that these parasites would sooner see Labour lose the next election rather than have it win under Corbyn. The attacks on him in the Tory press and media by these cretins is reaching epidemic proportions. They would clearly take any steps to discredit the democratically elected leader and return the party safe for the Tories and their friends in the City. He won the leadership under a voting procedure that the Blairites brought in themselves under the Collins review. That is a measure of the contempt they have for democracy!
The division is clear: it's either the Parliamentary MP's – many of them parachuted in to safe Labour seats, and the majority of them never done a day's work in their life – who run the Party, or it's grass roots members. It is them or us. Come and join the campaign to defend Corbyn.
All members and supporters of the Labour Party welcome.

It is exactly the same as they did to Micheal Foot it is Labours way of purging the party of the left so the right can once again take control.
davidaplattsda on November 29, 2015 at 4:48 pm said:
You're right Dave; the difference this time though is that times have changed. The pits are gone, the steelworks are going, there is no work, no houses, youth unemployment rocketing, austerity is a permanent feature, and we are staring at the biggest humanitarian catastrophe the world has ever seen. Makes things that little bit different dunnit?

I am not a supported of any party.
I did note at the time how the Militant were purged as entryists just as the party lurched to the "Middle Ground" another name for no longer being socialists. It would make Keir Hardy and Clem Attlee weep.
I am not a socialist. However I do feel it is such a strong and enduring feature of our political landscape socialism ought to be allowed to have its voice heard.
This has not been the case for years. New Labour and that lousy lot called "Common Purpose" had nearly driven socialism out of the party of the socialists.
I have heard Tories complain of Cameron taking their party to the "Middle Ground" another name for no longer being conservative.
It would Make Edmond Burke and De Tocqueville weep.
Conservatism, the idea of the preeminence of the right of the individual ought have its voice heard.
Sadly both national parties have sold out to the new corporate republic of the neolibs. Philosophies have left the building.
Paul Wilson on November 29, 2015 at 2:38 pm said:
The reason why Corbyn is vilified is because he's a Trotskist idiot – a political dinosaur.
He is/was of course a "big wig" in Haringay council ( error intentional) where his cronies were provided with nice des-res houses,and apartments bought at the council tax payers expense.
Fortunately, the British electorate, unlike the brainwashed minions who now populate the Liebore Party, are wise to the inherent corruption of the Left with their cronyism and their " do as I say not as I do" mindset.
Having worked for a left-wing council for a year ( I got out when I got tired of their constant leftie propaganda which arrived daily in my pigeon hole ) , I can tell you with no uncertaintainty that people like Corbyn are a danger to individual liberty and freedom…… Unless of course you are a black transexual muslim with a speech impediment, one arm and a non-English speaker, in which case you will think you have entered Nirvana as they fall over themselves to give you a top well-paid job in the council with your own personal interpreter.
yup on November 29, 2015 at 2:40 pm said:
Mr. Poetmorgan makes some good points. Please bear in mind that Cameron also personally supports Common Purpose. ( Note his photographed association with convicted Common Purpose senior member and paedophile Matthew Byrne, yet Cameron still supported Common Purpose in India, whilst never forgetting the years of association of Sonia Sharp with Common Purpose, especially when in Rotherham. ) It is also true that nulabor never had any respect for democracy, and have now effectively declared war on the Labour Party. On this side of the M1 the corrupt nulabor openly persist in trying to undermine Corbyn to regain control, with the added bonus that in trying to regain control they will destroy the party that they are using as a mere prop for their own agenda. Meanwhile, are there any current or past nulabor senior employees within RMBC who are also elected members in SCC and who are also, crucially, associated with Common Purpose, and involved with arguably nefarious activity with nulabor candidate selection practices ? The message is clear, Corbyn and The Labour Party need to purge Labour Party traitors nulabor and Common Purpose if they have any chance to regain the trust of the electorate, without which they will never regain power.

Is it just myself or is there nowhere else this meeting could be held, it seems labour are bowing to their minority voters it seems and as for Corbyn the man obviously would see terrorists on our streets with total immunity as he does not support shoot to kill. Taking the labour candidate in oldham trying to make labour supporters thnk he is for them if the claims about his expenses as a councillor are correct why would he take a cut in wages to become an mp unless of course it is the perks he is going for considering it is a labour mp who chairs the committee on mp's expenses is labour and chose to remove Mc Shane but allowed a lib dem mp who had fiddled more than McShane then things will never change surely it is time the people of Rotherham gave serious thought to their future council as this Labour run one is still not fit for purpose
Anon on November 29, 2015 at 3:41 pm said:
Common Purpose is not a New Labour machine. It crosses political boundaries with a … guess what? A common purpose.
"parasites" "cretins" – is this the kinder, gentler politics the Glorious Leader wants?
Why are the Left so obssessed with Blair. The man ceased to be Labour Party leader and Prime Minister in 2007. They were itching to get Brown in after; then he lost and they were itching to get Miliband in (aided and abetted by McCluskey in UNITE). Remember Kinnock saying "We've got our party back" when Miliband won?
As each one failed they were labelled Blairites. What will they do when Jezza fails? Will he be labelled Blairite too? Lol!
I do not put much hope in the old party machines of left or right. It may be they can be reformed but I suspect we are in for turbulent times ahead. My own loathing is for the influence of corporate lobbying and effective control over policy with parties ever willing to do their bidding if the price is right.
The left may eventually have a viable alternative in the Greens, but I doubt if UKIP will evolve into a viable alternative for the right.
The future is unknown and unknowable.

" My own loathing is for the influence of corporate lobbying and effective control over policy with parties ever willing to do their bidding if the price is right."
Absolutely. Sadly the corporate lobby pays better than public service, hence our public servants don't really work for us, even though they tell us they are every five years or so.
A long, long time ago ( over a hundred years ) it is claimed that Mayer Rothschild said :
" Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws".
Whether it was he who actually said it is irrevant, the fact is that International Banks determine the economic well-being, or not, of nations.
It is hardly a new – you actually THINK that a democratically elected government represents the people or determines policy ? It has always been controlled by vested interests, be it the money from Trades Unions or money from Capitalists.
Our "democratic" system has placed in government people who were voted in by 30% of voters – so in fact, we have a govenment which the majority didn't want.
Personally, I don't care who gets elected as long as it's not that Trotskyist moron Corbyn.
I value my freedom too much, however limited that may be of late.
No I do not THINK that! Have not for a few decades now. I am Mr Glass Half Empty on politics.
How right you are Paul. Labour have no chance at the elections whilst ever they keep this scruffy, commie moron as leader. We shall see how much he believes in democracy when the vote comes for bombing ISIS. Will he allow a free vote for his MP's or will he, as I expect, dictate to them his idiotic policy of so called diplomacy?

Sue, the narrative I use is in a personal capacity. What we all should be considering is the facts. Are they stabbing Corbyn in the back? Are they writing in the Daily Mail and slandering him. Have they not openly called on sitting MP's to stand against Labour should they be deselected. Aren't they meeting Fallon in secret to defeat him in order to bomb Syria. Is there anything in my post that is not true? And you don't think I should be using words like parasites and cretins? Well forgive me!

This sort of post will only succeed in further driving a wedge between "us" and "them". We should seek unity, not division. It will be used to paint Momentum as something it is not.
When you lose 2020 election, as is predicted, who will you blame?
It was an utterly stupid thing to post,and it is already being used as a weapon against Corbin in social media.
Yes, we should all be seeking unity, a common ground.
Has there been a revolution, have the sandals wearing, pot smoking, lemons taking over the Labour Party. Will it be free loving, free money, free everything. Damn my electric bill has just arrived. Reality is a bitch!!!
Is Dave Platts actually Daniel Platts, who took a motion condeming attacks on Corbyn to the Wentworth CLP two months ago but couldn't propose it because he wasn't a delegate?
He took it back the following month after getting the Unite delegate to propose it but no one would second it so it was thrown out.
Either way, it seems someone called Platts is spoiling for a fight with the moderate and not the other way round. 😀
Quotse : ….. "the Parliamentary MP's – many of them parachuted in to safe Labour seats, and the majority of them never done a day's work in their life ……….."
Well have you looked at the educational history and employment history of Comrade Leader Corbyn ?
He is a TYPICAL Labour MP of the same kidney. Al he has even done is politics – staright from Trade Union jobs into politics. He knows NOTHING about real life.
Hardly brought up on an inner city council estate was he ?
He's just another clueless champagne socialist , although he doesn't drink so he says, with his head in the clouds and his feet in you-know-what.
@ Paul Wilson; He'll know about thieving, cheating, lining his own pockets and looking after number one though won't he. This seem to be the Labour edict in this country doesn't it? Bugger working, this is the best way of making money, steal it off the working man, when you're a Trade Union leader!

The official event was posted on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/events/1699927483574497). The post on this site includes comments in a personal capacity. Anybody is entitled to share the details of the meeting as they are in the public domain. Anybody attending either a Labour Party meeting or a Momentum meeting is entitled to give their opinions. Both are democratic organisations in which different views are debated. This is in the spirit of democratic debate that Corbyn espouses. Yes he also espouses the use of respectful language and avoiding personal attacks. Although this post is very critical of Blairites and uses certain "unkind" words, actually "parasite" is technically a correct description of MPs that disregard the democratic mandate given to Corbyn by the members and use the Labour Party for their own interests, especially those that incessantly publish scathing articles in the press that are full of vicious personal attacks that will only damage the party. It is unrealistic to expect members to just tolerate such treacherous behaviour from our elected representatives without showing any disgust and without condemning their actions in the strongest terms. You can't remain respectful to people that are showing the most crass disrespect to you and your party. The Blairites deserve criticism for their support for the illegal Iraq war and it seems some will be continuing their poor judgement on Syria this week. They also deserve criticism for eroding party democracy, but this is changing under Corbyn and political debate is rightly becoming more common. Momentum meetings have always been respectful and opinions are discussed in a comradely way. But the likes of Simon Danzcuk, who is trying to rip apart the party using the appallingly biased right-wing Mail and Sun papers, deserves no respect. His frequent articles are full of distortions, downright lies and offensive personal attacks about Corbyn and his supporters. In fact much of what he writes is actually stupid – hence "cretin" is also technically correct in his case.
The attempts at a party split are not initiated by people in Momentum – it's us who are understandably angry at those on the right that are creating division and openly talking about coups and undermining Corbyn and the members and supporters. The grassroots have a right – a duty – to counter the attacks against the working class and their elected leader.

Corbyn was elected leader with an overwhelming mandate from rank and file members (and, anecdotally, I have conversed witn many, mainly young, people who think his style and substance are both breaths of fresh air). His dissection and critique of the spending review was masterful and comprehensive, last week eg. Being a naive clegyman with my head in the clouds, I have a tendency to judge people on their ideas, not their "hidden agendas" (which, unfortunately, remain prone to endless speculation and idiotic and puerile conspiracy theories) . Taken at face value, Corbyn talks a lot of sense about how we respond to the current crisis, with an eye on the long term effects of what we do on the genuine grievances of young muslims, and our short term amnesia about the failure of policies in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya to actually bring peace. We are in more danger than ever and it is Blair and Cameron who have proved the true threats to national security. Add in what he says about austerity and maybe we would be mad not to give JC a chance. Could we do worse? now it looks like the PLP aligned with a privatised, tax dodging media will combine to oust him against the wishes of the party and the hopes of many ordinary people. If that happens Labour will truly be finished. Weep Kier Hardie! Keeping Jeremy at the helm is actually their best bet, although he does need to show a bit more leadership nous (he may learn) and maybe compromise a bit with his own moderates about some of his more extreme foreign policy friendships. We cannot negotiate with people who are implacable about destroying us but we must stop behaving in ways that destroy the hopes and aspirations of others. Our first line of defence is to have a country worth defending (ie: in which all share hope and prosperity) and a country that behaves on the international stage in a way that enables other countries to have the same hope and prosperity. Under this Tory government, we have one that is and does the opposite of both these things.
To effect change, you first must gain power. I keep hearing that he has this mandate from the party rank and file, but surely he should be thinking about the wider electorate, those millions who voted for Labour in the last Election. He's unelectable and therefore a loser in waiting.
The country is changing but he's stuck in past. Comrades, Socialism is a corrupt, irrelevant ideology, hence we had 1400+ children raped and abused, by a minority interest, where was the equality for those victims?

@davidaplattsda
What you did in the head/topic piece was mix Fact with Opinion and without any separation between them.
And in doing so you paid Momentum a disservice.
What you should have done was provide Rothpol with a head/topic piece that contained exactly the same information that was on the Facebook page, along with a link to the Facebook page.
Once Rothpol published it, you could then have added your personal comment.
I hope you learn from this f*** up.
You just confounded the problem in your initial comment. One should never defend the indefensible.
"actually "parasite" is technically a correct description of MPs that disregard the democratic mandate given to Corbyn by the members and use the Labour Party for their own interests, "
No it isn't ! –
"Kleptoparasite" is technically somewhat nearer the mark, but it is all totally hysterical over the top usage of language to describe other people that way; the words apply purely to observed animal behaviour, (even tho' some controlling-societies (including one I once lived in) have labelled dissidents as "Social Parasites").
Now @Dan I'm signed up to Momentum, but @Dan, you have made me think hard of signing off.
So, if you haven't done so already do something useful and go and sign this petition:

Don't usually respond to ANON's, they hide behind their anonymity, but.You say I mixed Fact with Opinion. You say I have done Momentum a disservice. Is this Fact or your Opinion? I don't do face book, and neither am I an expert on the protocol of sending posts.I just advertised the meeting to give people a chance to attend. You can come and introduce yourself and take part in a cordial meeting based around defending Corbyn – which as you know, or should know if as you say you are a member of Momentum – or you can stay anonymous and stop at home. It's entirely up to you.
With all that is happening in the Party though, I would hope that Momentum supporters would be more concerned with the job in hand rather than the semantics of a poxy little post I made advertising the meeting.
And by the way, I am Dave Platts,
Dan on December 1, 2015 at 11:41 am said:
Regular Reader.
You seem to think there is "a problem". Well there is a problem, but it is a different and bigger problem than you are going on about. The problem is the extreme media bias against the socially just, peaceful, democratically elected leader of the Labour Party who wants the best for the majority of this country and wishes to stop the Tories forcing the majority to pay for the mistakes of the bankers and neoliberalists. Corbyn is a democratic socialist – the Labour Party is a democratic socialist party (check the back of any membership card). He is promoting democracy and socialism within the party and the country. This is the first leader in a generation that is promoting exactly the policies that the party was founded upon, and the massive support among members and supporters (which gave him the biggest ever mandate – not to be dismissed by any person with any intelligence) illustrates that he is the right person with the right policies.
The media portrays him as a terrorist, a pacifist, and now a warmonger. Confusing I know. But unfortunately there are those in the party that also portray him in such ridiculous terms, and a lot worse. Yes, Danczuk being one of them; also McTernan. Parasite definition: "a person who habitually relies on or exploits others and gives nothing in return". This is a correct description of these people, at least since the start of the Labour leadership contest. Danczuk (to use the worst example) relies on the membership for his position as a Labour MP. He is giving nothing in return. On the contrary, he is fueling the media frenzy of smears and distortions designed to destroy Corbyn's leadership and betray the members and supporters of the democratic Labour Party. In doing so he risks destroying the party for a long time – paradoxically he is (intentionally) risking exactly what he accuses Corbyn of (unintentionally) risking. The intent here is very important because it means that Danczuk is wantonly breaking party rules and should be expelled. Also importantly is that Danczuk is wrong. Corbyn has proven time and again that despite the onslaught of negativity in the press, including especially the BBC whose sometimes subtle but sometimes blatant choice of words or guests in almost every show is biased in favour of the "mainstream" and the Tory government.
Although Danczuk is the worst example of MPs creating problems for the party, there are many other MPs that are doing this in a more subtle fashion. Although "Blairites" is a broad brush, it is a convenient way to describe those that wish to discourage democratic debate and policy-making by the membership (like the Blair leadership did), or those that are happy to go to war without strong evidence that this will have an overall benefit (like the Blair leadership were), or those that are happy for our economy to be trusted with the rich elite, big corporate monopolies and speculating bankers (like the Blair leadership were).
Now, Regular Reader, it is good that you joined Momentum so that you may have the opportunity to discuss and debate such issues face-to-face at meetings. The meetings can be used to come to democratic majority decisions on the "official" position of the local Momentum group. I'm surprised that a couple of comments by a couple of individuals on this site would be enough to put you off a national grassroots organisation such as Momentum, especially as I feel you have overreacted to the use of a couple of derogatory words, and especially as you have done far worse by using a profanity.
Let's just take a step back and have a look at the big issues – then debate them properly.
Corbyn is a relic from the past, a defunct ideology which even our comrades from another countries are getting rid of. You don't hear the Russians and the Chinesse, extolling the virtues of they communists past, because they've realise it never work. Even Cuban is coming in from the cold.
He and his wishful thinking dipsticks, seem to think that everything can be paid for by the state, however the state has to earn the money from somewhere to provide these services. Hence an modern, productive encomony. The more people look at this man and his cronies, the more they see a loser in waiting. They sound more and more like ISIS, promises for tomorrow which can't be for filled.

Cryer on Livingstone
"When Keighley's problem was out in the open, she claimed to have talked about the issue with Ken Livingstone, then mayor of London, at City Hall. According to Cryer, "Ken was convinced I had got it all wrong. He was so politically correct, he was off this planet at that time, was Ken."

Rotherham and Rochdale and Telford etc etc weren't detected by the left's politically correct sensors. It just did not compute, these were the wrong type of victims and the wrong type of abusers, they were dumbfounded and could only react by chucking out copious quantities of chaff in the form of outraged squawks of racism and Islamophobia. This was especially grotesque given that the abuse suffered by the victims and their families was racially and religiously aggravated, if not actually motivated as such.
What really, really hurts is that the people who the left discarded were the very descendants of those cruelly exploited mill and factory workers who the Labour Party was founded to protect in the first place!.
Of course one shouldn't be unduly judgemental but for me this condemns the British Left forever and for all time.
When you claim you were defending the ordinary people, does that include the 1400+ children who were brutally raped and abused, by your Multicultural policies, which allow the Pakistani's to roam the streets, unabated for decades and deliberately select little white girls and devile them?. See Corbyn had nothing to say about that subject, in fact he's been conspicuous by his silence, along with his low life of apologists, who so readily populate this party. Remember this problem is not isolated in Rotherham, but countrywide.
Abusive, so your augment is that it ok to Committ crime againist the innocence children, then sweep it under the carpet, in the persuit of communtiy cohension. A truly conviction Polictican is someone that will stand in for the rights of everybody, not just for the few who may vote for the.

Link 1 post above makes the point
"Another is the failure of left-wing councils and trade unions to support whistleblowers in scandals involving the public sector – something shockingly evident in Islington, and later in Rochdale and Rotherham, where the sexual health workers and youth workers who tried to expose what was going on were ignored, derided and bullied into silence. Honest politicians on the left will acknowledge and face up to these issues, and think about how we can do things differently in the future; not ignore them"

Momentum may be the new name for some old political far left warriors but they do seem to be punching above their weight.
At a local level let's see if they can influence each of our three MPs to vote against the bombing of Syria, I hope they can.
Corbyn has been drowned out by the MSM, he is right to call for measures to be taken to stop the funding of ISIS via Saudi and other sympathetic Gulf States thereby cutting off their access to funds to buy arms.
As for Turkey and their role in the horror that is Syria, like South Africa in the days of apartheid when individuals made small but important steps to show their abhorrence towards the South African regime I will not be spending any of my money on holidays to Bodrum or purchasing any Turkish produced goods.

There is a need for an organisation for the younger people who voted for Corbyn for new ideas, is it Momentum, perhaps not?
My son and his lady, down in Lewisham joined Labour just to vote for Corbyn – they wanted a new left of centre politics. Their only other home would have been the Greens.
Kevin Barron has written to me saying that he would be voting with the government – after I had written to him asking him not to. I am pissed off with him, but nothing's new.
